  1. This is my preferred way of making it, too. So convenient for those days you've just got to have pizza STAT!
  2. When I food shop I am in the zone. Sometimes I get tears in my eyes when I see the amazing produce and exotic ingredients that I have only read/dreamed of. Can you imagine you and I taking over NYC? I have not been there but would fly there just for the food. You and I could do some serious damage. "Higgledy piggledy" and "gobsmacked" are amongst...
  3. I bet you were the only one here would have thought inappropriate things. Hee hee... Some of us are pure as the driven snow.
  4. I use "thingers" often at home. I mean the WORD "thingers". That didn't come out right methinks. "Thingers" can mean so many things in so many situations. It is quite...er...interchangeable.
  5. Yes, I remember that about the recipe but changing up recipes still applies anyway. There is nothing that says you have to be married to what is written on paper (except many baking recipes where exact science is necessary) so I love it when people are inspired to create variations. What do you use with your bacon jam the most?
  6. Tonight we are having: Lamb Chops that we were going to have last night then my pain went haywire. So, we are having the lamb that I marinated in a whole schwack of lovely things (including orange juice, juniper berries, gin, fresh thyme and rosemary, garlic) that will have a Dijon sauce brushed on it and then covered in a yummy breadcrumb mixture...
  7. Sounds great! What did you put in it, Sora?
  8. I love that about recipes. You can take an idea and make changes to make it your own!
  9. Oops - I posted the incorrect recipe. Now I'm not sure where the original one got off to. Will post when I find it. It was quite different.
  10. MMMMMM! On our culinary trips we take along our coolers, of course, so will be on the lookout for scampi (which will not be the freshest as the nearest sea is about 2,500 miles away). But the combination with pineapple sounds wonderful.
  11. This is an interesting article. I know that occasional bacon makes my heart happy!
  12. LOVE this. Where on earth do you get your...uh...thingers? This bacon guy is so cute I could just pinch his fatty cheeks.
  13. I did not know that! Or if I did I had forgotten. Obviously you know your Thai curries like no other! Anyway, there is something so gratifying and therapeutic about making curries from scratch, isn't there? I made one last week. I don't know which I like better - red or green. I'd have to say both.
  14. This looks soooooooooooo darned good. Sometimes you've just got to have a great burger. And I know yours will be no ordinary burger.
  15. You are sure to love it. It will grow on you and then you will become addicted like me. Heck - once we had something similar only with blue cheese added! FANTASTIC. So, if cheese causes migraines as it used to me, go all out...
  16. Definitely not around here but when my husband takes me to the nearest city (three hours away) every two months on culinary escapes (as we call these trips) we find the lime leaves (fresh and frozen) at an Asian market. We stay in a tiny boutique hotel that is so charming. It only has about 12 rooms I think and each time you get a different one. They are...
  17. I know what you mean. Both are equally good, actually, and completely different from one another. Let us know what you decide! Short ribs should be its own food group, as bacon should be.
  18. So happy you are getting excited about Thai chicken! I have never, ever used curry powder in Thai dishes but instead make all my pastes from scratch with kaffir lime leaves, lemongrass, chiles, etc. Curry powder to Thai chicken is as authentic as Spam is to bacon. Who needs curry powder? I LAUGH in the face of curry powder.
  19. Mexican Molletes (with BACON jam, of course!)
  20. Sora, I love short ribs. The following are amongst my favourites: http://www.epicurious.com/recipes/food/views/Braised-Short-Ribs-with-Chocolate-and-Rosemary-233706?mbid=RF (yes, they contain chocolate, but it is sort of almost mole-ish). http://www.napastyle.com/recipe/recipe.jsp?productId=2847&parentCategoryId=614&categoryId=721&subCategoryId...
  21. I made awesome creamy mushroom soup with navy beans - creamy and unctuous and three kinds of shrooms. And I didn't forget the Sherry!
  22. Gin and juniper-marinated lamb chops with Dijon walnut crust Hasselback potatoes with lots of bay and garlic Red cabbage vinegary slaw
  23. Sounds like you are enjoying yourself on your cabana assignment. Maybe go incognito?! We need pictures for inspiration. I mean project. I mean, well, you know...
  24. It would be a great slogan. Along with the RBJ pizza bit!
  25. The snow is, well, quite abundant. Our winters are just too darned long!!! And the cabana boyz? What boyz? I have no idea what you are talking about.
