Hurlshort Posted May 1, 2021 Share Posted May 1, 2021 My daughter requested spicy crab for her 14tg birthday, so we are at a place called the Boiling Crab. She ordered King Crab legs, my wife got snow crab legs, and I got shrimp. Trying to keep the cost down a bit. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LittleArmadillo0 Posted May 2, 2021 Share Posted May 2, 2021 Been experimenting with pretzel making. The last few times they've tasted a little off but today I've gotten the perfect consistency of a crunchy brownish/gold crust to a fluffy inside. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BruceVC Posted May 9, 2021 Share Posted May 9, 2021 Today is Cheese fondue day so its a good day of course, as usual I use my fondue book and cheese books to add an additional cheese to the traditional fondue recipe that in 85 % of cheese fondue recipes has to involve 2 of the following cheeses :Emmenthal, Gruyere and Appenzaller Today I am using Gruyere and Emmenthal and adding Gorgonzola....and its works adding a blue cheese normally so I will see how it is with Gorgonzola today 1 "Abashed the devil stood and felt how awful goodness is and saw Virtue in her shape how lovely: and pined his loss” John Milton "We don't stop playing because we grow old; we grow old because we stop playing.” - George Bernard Shaw "What counts in life is not the mere fact that we have lived.

ShadySands Posted May 11, 2021 Share Posted May 11, 2021 My wife got sick on Mother's day so today I made her chicken noodle soup. I'd never made it completely* from scratch before so it was fun. *okay, not completely. The chicken was 2 day old rotisserie and I did add a little Better Than Buillon because I didn't have enough "scraps" to make the broth chickeny enough. 2 Free games updated 3/4/21 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

'course that just means you may reduce the salt you would typical add in the recipe, or dilute. HA! Good Fun! ps during the initial covid staple purchasing madness when items such as tp, beans and rice were nowhere to be found anywhere, we were unable to buy better than bullion 'less we wanted to pay comical high prices. this were what were at amazon, and am admitting it were kinda good, but even more salty than better than bullion.

BruceVC Posted May 14, 2021 Share Posted May 14, 2021 (edited) https://www.chefswarehouse.co.za/thali It was one of my brothers birthday last night and we went to an amazing Indian restaurant called Thali . It was the best Indian restaurant I have ever been to. You dont get a menu but they serve 3 course meal per 2 people but what a gastronomic experience..I had some of the best Tandoori chicken ever and courses like deep fried Spinach with spices For those that enjoy fusion cuisine take a look at the photos Edited May 14, 2021 by BruceVC 2 "Abashed the devil stood and felt how awful goodness is and saw Virtue in her shape how lovely: and pined his loss” John Milton "We don't stop playing because we grow old; we grow old because we stop playing.” - George Bernard Shaw "What counts in life is not the mere fact that we have lived.
