    Sorry you couldn't make it! Next week... Your dinner sounds wonderful - there is something so special about oven fried chicken! Mmmm....

    Man, wouldn't that be a fun, low stress job?

    etta, have you checked under the spices? That's where ours are located. They come in test-tube looking things!! Hope you find some - they are sooooooo wonderful...

    Where, in the store, did they put the vanilla beans? (Maybe I'm lookin in the wrong place?)

  6. love2travel
    I'm surprised that our small town actually does carry vanilla beans! They also carry lemongrass after I practically begged several times. It's certainly not a gourmet town by any stretch - it is a wealthy oil town that is full of young transients who rely on icky take-out. So, I am getting to know the produce guy, butcher, etc. And you'd be surprised...

    I enjoy describing things so you get the feel and taste of the recipe. You can (and are) learn(ing) to cook! It comes with practice and experience. Once you start to develop confidence in it you can cook most things at home (except for sous vide, etc. for molecular gastronomy - I'm dabbing in it but need more practice). Experimenting with fresh...

    Lettuce from the garden? You're not kidding, are you? The snow finally started melting here yesterday but we have a few feet to go. Anyway, tonight we are having: Roast Chicken with Moroccan Rub and Roasted Lemons Roasted Baby Potatoes and Carrots with Fresh Thyme and Rosemary Melted Leeks (in white wine) Cornbread

    Margot, I agree that you were courageous. I had both the gastroscopy and colonoscopy done at the same time so opted for the drugs. I, too, am an analyzer/researcher and feel the need for definitive answers. It bugs me not knowing things! Glad you have some answers so you can proceed with living.

    That may be because both of my scopes were done (and thankfully covered) and my bloodwork was also covered. I live in Alberta.

    For my potato gnocchi I use use a gluten-free AP flour blend that I've made up to have on hand. Ricotta gnocchi is also very good and some recipes don't require any flour! I LOVE gnocchi too much to not convert it to gluten-free!

    Oh, sorry about that. You have it extra hard.

    Haven't bought BBQ Sauce for years. If you're still interested I literally have nearly 100 recipes and make many regularly. Soooo much better in my opinion as you know what goes into it. And you just can't beat homemade. One of my favourite AP recipes (incredible on baby back ribs) is: Sweet and Spicy BBQ Sauce (makes 2 1/4 c) 2/3 c tomato paste...

    Potatoes are amongst my favourite things to eat. I love: Vichyssoise Potatoes Pave Roasted with fresh herbs Mashed with roasted garlic, buttermilk and chives, and finished with crispy shallots Mashed with grainy mustard Gratin Hasselback Brown Butter Mashed Roasted Greek Lemon German Potato Salad Chorizo Hashbrowns Coconut Potato Curry with...

    I'll pick up whomever is waiting for me at the Edmonton airport. You're in luck if you get here before 5 PM as I am teaching a yummy cooking class tomorrow. We are making: Apple Cider Brine for Pork Loin (am making in advance, of course) Balsamic Ginger Marinade for Shrimp Honey Scallion Ginger Vinaigrette Vanilla Bean Vinaigrette a la Turque...

    You can come on over! We'll have a proper gluten-free pigfest...

    I don't use mixes or anything as I love to bake too much! So, my freezer is filled with 20 different flours. So far I have found very few gluten-free foods and snacks I like. So, I stick to mainly non-gluten-free foods. Excluding the 20 flours (that would make my list too long) my staples would be: - arborio rice for risottos - jasmine rice (stick...

    I'm one of those people who can talk about food for hours and hours on end. It is such a huge part of who I am. I'm obsessed with cooking and culinary books. As I've mentioned before if I'm not eating or cooking I'm talking about it or reading about it. I often dream I am cooking in competitions (i.e. Iron Chef). But now I talk about it differently because...

    ARCHIVED Nutella

    Not really a chocolate fan but I love hazelnuts! Many people adore it. It's all over the place in Italy from gelato to crepes. It would be lovely melted and drizzled over vanilla bean ice cream or even desserts, cakes or cookies (if you like chocolate and hazelnuts, that is!).

    I did the whole gallon, too. It seriously wasn't that bad until the diarrhea hit hard but even that wasn't that awful. I'm in so much pain from a back injury that diarrhea (about 20 times) took my mind off my back for a few hours! Good luck! I hope all goes well.

    Oh, I love Greek oregano, too! It grows wild at our place in Croatia and it is so true that it is nothing like what you can get in the store - much BETTER!!
  22. love2travel
    Lots 'n lots! For example: - lemongrass simple syrup (as a drizzle for cake, to mix in lemonade or as glaze on pork/fish/seafood/chicken) - it is ubiquitous in Thai curries with coconut milk, etc. This is what I use it for most often. - vinaigrettes - marinades I love it! It is underused for such an inexpensive treat (all of 25 cents...

    Genovese for sure. It is also very easy to grow (even here on the windswept prairies as long as it has protection and is a little sheltered). Genovese is also my first pick for pestos.
  24. love2travel
    Definitely fresh basil as it adds the most punch, having had many yummy pasta sauces all over Italy!

    As a silent celiac the odd time I am tempted to just eat that such and such I am so badly craving BUT would never give in to that anyway because I know what goes on inside me. My husband and I leave in 5 weeks for Italy and Croatia and part of me thinks, "To heck with it. I'll probably have CC issues in Croatia anyway..." But my logical side says a big...
