• Sunday night Dinner

    From Dave Smith@3:633/10 to All on Sunday, September 06, 2026 18:18:52
    I spatchcocked a chicken and made a marinade for it. My wife took over
    from there. The chicken is almost cooked. Now she is going to steam some
    green beans and grill a cob of corn. I will have lime juice and chili
    powder on the corn. The corn had better be good. I haven't had any yet
    this year.

    Probably dump it in a neighbor's yard, or maybe at a fast food joint he
    hates.

    It was store-bought leftover lasagna here. I'm not a great fan of this
    dish so I didn't expect much and was not impressed. This is the first
    lasagna I've eaten in 16 years and that's the truth; meh, I won't buy
    again.

    You mean Stouffer's, right? If you don't really like lasagna, of course
    you wouldn't be impressed, but it's one of the best frozen entrees out
    there, except for people who don't really like lasagna. If it was a
    different brand, it was an off brand.

    Actually no, it was Kroger's 'Private Selection' brand and it tasted like Stouffer's. Although I love spaghetti and other pasta dishes, the lasagna noodles are just too much in a dish. I know that doesn't make sense, but
    it's just too much pasta for me.

    It has a place. My wife makes a fantastic lasagna on occasion. In
    between though, I'd buy the Stouffer's for lunch at work. I shared it
    with a co-woker that I ate with. And a glass of wine, of course.

    We had some ahi katsu. Ahi tends to be dry when you fry it up but the katsu
    was brilliant. I don't know how they do it.
    On Saturday, we had some Vietnamese food. I took pictures of the basil and
    the fruit that was in the drink.

    that would be good for me, but i also have no problem with
    lasagna noodles. alas, Mom hates eggplant. :(

    another substitution could be to use elbow macaroni and
    increase the other ingredients. i like my lasagna on the
    "more is better" scale and Mom likes things very dry to
    the point now that i have to remind her to add extra sauce
    or to have some on the side if she doesn't want it in the
    dish to begin with.

    Frankly, I have trouble digesting corn. I can get away with eating a cob
    of it once in a while, never more than twice a week. While I like the
    stuff there is that disincentive to eat it. The other thing is that the
    older I get the faster time flies. I have long believed that every 5
    years time passes twice as quickly and with me being 75, this is one of
    those 5 year markers and time has most definitely speed up this year.
    The summer months have passed like weeks. It seems like just yesterday
    the local corn was first available and here we are with the season
    winding down.

    Many, many years ago Healthy Choice had a frozen single serving square
    of zucchini lasagna and it was sooooooo good. Of course, it's not to
    be found anywhere now from anyone who offers frozen food. ˙?˙

    I can understand the lack of appeal because I am thinking of them using
    layers of zucchini in place of pasta. I think of that pasta has having
    some degree of taste and texture while the zucchini would probably be
    bland and mushy. I could be wrong but that would be my expectation if I
    were to see it for sale, so I would likely take a pass on it. Perhaps
    some good promotion or positive feedback from a friend would change my
    mind.

    One of these days I am going to have to try moussaka. Eggplant was not
    part of our diet when was a kid and my first few experiences with it
    were not great. I later came to try it. I am not sure I want to make a
    whole batch of it in case it is less than great. That means I would have
    to try it in a Greek restaurant, but if I am looking at a menu in a
    Greek restaurant and see various slouvakis, gyros, roast lamb, calamari
    and a number of my other Greek favourites I am probably not going to
    give up one of them to try something that had not been appealing for me
    for50 years or more.

    It was very, very good and the zucchini was not bland nor mushy. It had

    We were trying to eat healthy after my heart issue and one of the heart healthy recipes we had was for ratatoille. There was quite a bit of
    eggplant and I liked it. Then I discovered babaganoush.

    Many, many years ago Healthy Choice had a frozen single serving square
    of zucchini lasagna and it was sooooooo good. Of course, it's not to
    be found anywhere now from anyone who offers frozen food. ˙?

    I can understand the lack of appeal because I am thinking of them using layers of zucchini in place of pasta. I think of that pasta has having
    some degree of taste and texture while the zucchini would probably be
    bland and mushy.

    Odd. Zucchini tastes a bit like sweet corn to me. Sure I like it
    with garlic (what isn't better with garlic?), but salted, oiled,
    and grilled is probably my favorite preparation.

    I could be wrong but that would be my expectation if I
    were to see it for sale, so I would likely take a pass on it. Perhaps
    some good promotion or positive feedback from a friend would change my
    mind.

    One of these days I am going to have to try moussaka. Eggplant was not
    part of our diet when was a kid and my first few experiences with it
    were not great. I later came to try it. I am not sure I want to make a
    whole batch of it in case it is less than great. That means I would have
    to try it in a Greek restaurant, but if I am looking at a menu in a
    Greek restaurant and see various slouvakis, gyros, roast lamb, calamari
    and a number of my other Greek favourites I am probably not going to
    give up one of them to try something that had not been appealing for me for50 years or more.

    The very best eggplant dish I ever had was in an Italian restaurant
    (in Toronto, as it happens).

    A quarter-inch slice of cooked eggplant was marinated in some sort
    of vinaigrette. It may have been grilled, but I don't think so.
    This was around 30 years ago, so the details are a little foggy.
    It was part of a prix fixe meal.

    I often find eggplant to be too rich-tasting, so the vinaigrette
    cut right through that.

    You could make your own lasagna and substitute zucchini or eggplant
    for some of the pasta.

    Or just make Moussaka.

    If you like cinnamon in your tomato sauce, yes.

    if you don't you can always skip it or substitute something else
    (of course the purists would say then you are making a different
    dish/recipe, but i don't usually worry about that sort of thing if
    i'm cooking for myself and my own tastes).

    babaganoush is good for me too. wish Mom liked eggplant... :(

    I've never been impressed with store-bought lasagna. It also is not my favorite dish when made from scratch. All those layers are so fussy.
    Cook the noodles and then be very careful because they may tear. Hmm,
    Italian sausge or ground beef or a combination? Cottage cheese - which
    size curd? - or ricotta?

    Assembling. Sauce layer, noodle layer, meat layer, noodle layer, cheese
    layer including shredded mozzarella. Lather, rinse, repeat. Top with
    mozz and bake.

    I'd rather have some nicely seasoned tomato sauce with browned crumbled Italian sausage served over angel hair pasta. For some reason it tastes better to me than all those layers of lasagna ever did.

    For a long time I was unimpressed with hummus and had little experience
    with baba ganoush. Then I had them both at a Middle Eastern place my son
    and I went to for lunch. He ordered the two items and they were made
    with freshly made pita. Holy cow. They were both delicious.

    After that great experience I tried my hand at making them. I thought
    my hummus was better than most store bought hummus. The baba ganoush
    OTOH was a failure. I don't know what I did wrong but based on the
    results I was so far off base I never bothered making it again.

    Kroger Meat Lasagna Party Size

    It?s crazy, but this meat lasagna is actually the best cheesy lasag
    na.
    Kroger frozen meat lasagna is made with a very generous helping of low
    moisture mozzarella. It has a good, hefty cheese pull. The noodles are
    a bit too thick and there?s not a whole lot of meat to be found, but
    the flavor made this some of the best frozen lasagna we tasted. A lot
    of lasagna suffers from blandness, but not Kroger. It has a deep, sharp
    tomato flavor and there?s plenty of herbs speckled throughout. The
    sauce tastes a little more homey?like somebody actually made it. Pl
    us,
    this tray of frozen lasagna is gigantic. I?ve actually never heard
    of
    ?party size? lasagna before. Are people bringing lasagna to
    parties? I
    mean, you do you. ?Danny Palumbo

    I will keep an eye out for that. There is a Turkish restaurant opening
    up in town and if it ever opens and if it manages to succeed there may
    be a chance of it offering that. I would like to me more optimistic but
    that spot has seen a string of failures. It had been a convenience store
    for years but the owners eventually gave up. Then it was a Jamaican take
    out. I had wanted to try it but it never seemed to be open. That one
    folded and then it was something of a Caribbean shop with limited food
    and that one never seemed to be open. The other two units in that little
    strip plaza are doing well. One is Thai restaurant and the other is the Italian take out where I get my Thursday night specials.

    About a year ago there was a big sign in the window about the soon to
    open Turkish restaurant. That was a long time ago. I'm thinking a year
    and a half ago, maybe more. Some time last fall I was turned off it
    because whoever was working in there had his pickup parked in front and
    was draped in a Palestinian flag. Not a fan of the cause and and did not appreciate the anti Semitic message. Then things seemed to come to a
    halt. There was nothing going on for close to 6 months. Most of the
    signs on the windows have been removed and you can see they have done
    some work but there is still kitchen equipment parked just inside the
    front door, no tables, really not much more than some nice lighting.
    Rumor has it that the ran into a major code violation.

    I don't know how they hope to make a success of this. Heck, places like
    Tim Hortons and McDs can shut down a store for a week or two and reopen
    with a whole new concept inside and out. Someone has been paying rent
    for this place for a long time and not a penny of sales. It's a shame
    because they next closest Turkish restaurant to us is an hour and a half
    drive from here.

    There is a small time local commercial operation that makes a decent
    lasagna. Once every month or two the local take out Italian place's
    Thursday night seniors special is lasagna and it is excellent. One good
    sized piece is a decent serving and I don't have leftovers to have to
    re-heat another time.

    I had egg plant parm for the first time about 6 months ago when I

    Many, many years ago Healthy Choice had a frozen single serving square
    of zucchini lasagna and it was sooooooo good. Of course, it's not to
    be found anywhere now from anyone who offers frozen food. ???

    Oh, I remember that. It was good. Sometimes I put extra cheese on
    top, thereby making it less healthy a choice.


    They sure dicked it up:

    This is not 'lasagna", it's a bowl of wet rotini pasta with slop souse.

    :-(

    Ugh.

    Why is it Bryan can chat so easily about Stouffer's frozen lasagna and

    Because Stouffer's lasagna is better than what most of you often cook. I haven't had it in years, as I'm retired, and can prioritize quality over
    ease, but I'd far rather have Stouffer's lasagna than your concoction
    with green onions, canned bamboo shoots and canned water chestnuts. I'd

    Absolutely. I was always pro Israel. I'd rather live in Tel Aviv than
    under Muslim rule. Even more so if I'd been a woman or gay. But
    slaughtering 70,000+ people and reducing a city to rubble is an
    atrocity that everybody should criticise. For some strange reason
    right-wingers and fundamentalist Christians don't have a problem with
    it. That's sick.

    It was store-bought leftover lasagna here. I'm not a great fan of

    the first lasagna I've eaten in 16 years and that's the truth;
    meh, I won't buy again.

    You mean Stouffer's, right? If you don't really like lasagna, of
    course you wouldn't be impressed, but it's one of the best frozen
    entrees out there, except for people who don't really like lasagna.
    If it was a different brand, it was an off brand.

    Because Stouffer's lasagna is better than what most of you often cook.
    I'd far rather have Stouffer's lasagna than Joan's 4 days worth of
    hamburgers cooked to be warmed over for at least the next 3 days.


    We all know you're as dumb as a box of rocks, but no need to post it for the world to see what we already know. I don't cook 4 days worth of hamburgers to be warmed over for at least the next 3 days.

    I'm embarrassed for you; lurkers point and laugh their heads off in disbelief that you proudly display your stupidity.

    The Google archive does not lie. You lie. Perhaps you should stick to
    lying about posts made after GoogleGroups quit archiving. These are your posts. There aren't lurkers anymore, but if there were, they would see
    that you are a lying sack of shit. You should be embarrassed for

    So, I cooked four hamburgers, no where did I state I'd be eating them the
    nest 3 days.

    "While the air fryer is rip-roaring hot I threw on four large Angus
    burger patties. ? They will be shared with one of the neighbors, too, for her work lunch." ?

    Somehow the word 'shared' rattled around in the empty head of yours.
    That does not equate with me eating them for the next 3 days.

    "Ah well, these frozen burgers, now grilled, are now resting in my refrigerator awaiting me to reheat one at 60% power ? Thursday or maybe Friday.? A Vidalia onion is dancing on my counter awaiting the reheating

    Once again, no mention of 3 days. Looks like you're the one lying. . .again.

    Ah, that's the first step, Bryan. I look forward to following your
    progress towards veganism.

    I have posted more vegetarian and vegan food posts than you over the
    years. When I prepare dishes that don't include meat (dead animal), it's because they are good that way. I tend to use mushrooms alongside
    vegetables that are high in fiber, nutrients and flavor, but low in
    starches. I could cut a piece out of an animal that had been alive only seconds ago, and enjoy eating it raw, but I also enjoy food with no
    animal products. I'd never go totally sissy (vegan).

    No, that's a hit or miss dessert that I'll enjoy occasionally, but not interested in making it. Sometimes it's over saturated with burnt
    coffee which of course I could make my own to control the strength of
    the brew, just not interested.

    I forgot, I do on occasion make Ina Garten's mocha ice box cake. That's another food item that has to be layered.

    Yes, fundamentalist Christians have a weird connection with Jews. A
    Dutch reporter once went to a Dutch bible belt village and asked a man
    in the street how he felt about the Israel/Palestine issue. The guy
    looked very angry and only yelled "God's chosen people!"

    I think there's a point were religion becomes mental illness.

    Yes, it's too heavy. With spaghetti or angel hair noodles you can

    I've never had banana pudding. I've seen it in old style Southern

    hamburgers a day. You got caught lying, and you are trying to squirm out

    got caught lying. You are dwelling on the "3 days" thing because. These
    are three separate times that you cooked sets of 4 burgers to reheat.

    Antisemitism is hostility, prejudice, or hatred directed specifically
    against Jewish people.

    You can support the Palestinian people without being an anti-Semite.
    You can deplore the actions of the government of Israel without being
    an anti-Semite.

    Absolutely. I was always pro Israel. I'd rather live in Tel Aviv than
    under Muslim rule. Even more so if I'd been a woman or gay. But
    slaughtering 70,000+ people and reducing a city to rubble is an
    atrocity that everybody should criticise. For some strange reason
    right-wingers and fundamentalist Christians don't have a problem with
    it. That's sick.

    "In biblical prophecy, the nation of Israel plays a central role as the geographic and spiritual focal point for the final events leading to the return of Jesus Christ."

    If you squint a bit while reading those prophecies, of course.



    LOL thinking about a reel I watched on FB yesterday where a comedian was talking about the number of people in mental hospitals who think they
    are Jesus. Given that there are one or two in every mental hospitals and
    the number of mental wards there must be a lot of them and the odd are
    that one of them really could be Jesus, but every time someone shows up claiming to be Jesus they shoot full of Thorazine so he has to go back
    and resurrect again, and then ends up back in a mental ward.

    The situation in the Middle East sucks and Israel is really starting
    to test my support. I don't have a lot of support for the Palestinians
    after their murderous rampage of Oct. 7 and taking all those hostages.
    They whine and carry on about the lack of food and medical supplies but
    seem to have little trouble smuggling in guns and rockets. They
    complain about Israeli air strikes but then turn around and fire rockets
    into Israel. Meanwhile, the Israelis continue to build settlements on
    the occupied lands and the settlers are very aggressive toward the Palestinians.

    Yes, fundamentalist Christians have a weird connection with Jews. A
    Dutch reporter once went to a Dutch bible belt village and asked a man
    in the street how he felt about the Israel/Palestine issue. The guy
    looked very angry and only yelled "God's chosen people!"

    I think religion is a mental illness.

    There! Corrected it for you!

    people, children included.

    I've never been impressed with store-bought lasagna. It also is
    not my favorite dish when made from scratch. All those layers are
    so fussy. Cook the noodles and then be very careful because they
    may tear. Hmm, Italian sausge or ground beef or a combination?
    Cottage cheese - which size curd? - or ricotta?

    Assembling. Sauce layer, noodle layer, meat layer, noodle layer,
    cheese layer including shredded mozzarella. Lather, rinse, repeat.
    Top with mozz and bake.

    I'd rather have some nicely seasoned tomato sauce with browned
    crumbled Italian sausage served over angel hair pasta. For some
    reason it tastes better to me than all those layers of lasagna ever
    did.

    Same here. All those sheets of lasagna noodles are just too much for
    me.

    Hey now:

    Off the top of my head, the only thing I can think of at the moment
    that gets layering attention from me is homemade banana pudding.

    Try some stacked enchiladas:

    https://highlandsranchfoodie.com/stacked-enchiladas-2/

    New Mexico claims ownership to the creation of stacked enchiladas.
    Instead of rolled, fried tortillas are flat enchiladas, stacked with a
    mixture of ground beef and melted cheese and red chile sauce. In
    traditional New Mexico style, the enchiladas are then topped with a
    fried egg. Stacked enchiladas are guaranteed to bring your taste buds
    alive with true Southwestern charm.

    The English had a history claiming and colonizing land and then opening

    whose native inhabitants had been all but wiped out by the Iroquois who
    had been expanding their empire to the north. The Six Nations had fought alongside the British during the American Revolution and then had to
    flee the retribution from the Americans so the British gave them a huge
    piece of land along the Grand River. In this case the land had been
    taken from the local Indians, then taken by the British and then given t
    a different Indian nation.

    A lot of the land in the colonies was awarded to men for their military service. In the case of my family, one, a Hessian officer got a large
    land grant for his service in the Revolution. The man who was to become
    his son in law also got a significant land grant for his service in the
    War of 1812. Curiously, he had been born in the US and came as a child
    but fought for the British. We started to get a lot of American,
    Scottish and Irish immigrants who came for cheap and but weren't all
    that crazy about the way the British upper classes were running things
    so they rebelled. My 5 times great grandfather had remained loyal to
    the Crown and fought against the rebels.

    It is a place for arabs and jews to kill each other and has been for

    We should let them do as they please.

    Let THEM decide when they are tired of the constant murders.

    If they never get tired, then at least there will be less of them.

    Extinction of both would be desirable.

    I enjoy them immensely at my favorite Asian restaurant, but admit I've never made them myself. I don't think of potstickers strictly as a 'layered' dish

    of homemade goodness if it's at someone's home or at a meat and three restaurant where will it be made from scratch.

    Traditionally, it's topped with the egg whites meringue that were separated from the yolks to make the custard. Some people don't care for calf slobber so they will top theirs with either Cool Whip or homemade whipped cream.

    What can I say? Used to be a store called McLemore's Market down the
    street from where I lived in Cordova, TN that served great breakfast &
    lunch. I'd stop there for breakfast on my way to work sometimes. They
    made great buscuits and sausage gravy. Great fried chicken, too. They
    had banana pudding. Never appealed to me.

    I've never had it either. I used to ponder the recipe on the side of boxes of Nilla
    Wafers when I was a kid. We had a banana festival recently. There was a person dishing out banana pudding and the reaction was positive. Looks like I'm going to
    have to wait until next year's festival to try some.

    I guess making 100 potsticker dumplings by hand would be out
    of the question as well.


    I enjoy them immensely at my favorite Asian restaurant, but admit I've never made them myself. I don't think of potstickers strictly as a 'layered' dish as lasagna and banana pudding are. However, I wouldn't attempt 100 if the urge hit me.

    It's moderately difficult to find good potstickers around here.
    The usual fault is that the dipping sauce is too sweet, although
    the filling is often bland and the wrappers doughy.

    I was thinking of dishes that require a great deal of work.
    100 was just an estimate. I prepare a pound (or so) of filling
    and buy a package of wrappers. I've never really counted how
    many we get.

    When we make them at home, they're the entire meal.

    I usually have a frozen bag of dumplings I've purchased at a
    local Asian grocery. They good for a quick lunch, although I
    don't bother to fry them into potstickers. Simmered and dressed
    with soy, garlic, ginger, rice vinegar, and chili oil, or else
    added to broth for a quick soup.

    We exclusively make our own lasagna. We have made ravioli in
    the past, but cannelloni are simpler, so we've taken to making
    them instead.

    It would be a no go for my wife. She does not eat bananas. I have never
    seen her eat one and when we have fruit salad she will server herself
    some and skip the bananas. She was never tested for celiac when she was
    young but she was raised on a celiac died and back in those days that
    meant a lot of ripe bananas. She lived on ripe bananas for a couple
    years and had so many that she is happy to live out the rest of her life without ever eating another banana.

    I don't do the packaged pudding mixes. I don't see the point of paying
    for something that involves the purchaser to have to add the more
    expensive ingredients like milk and eggs. Pudding has so few
    ingredients, usually just sugar, corn starch, egg, milk and the flavour.

    We often make a Butterscotch pudding with a recipe we got from the
    liquor store's Food and Wine magazine. It is just brown sugar, corn
    starch, a pinch of salt, an egg and milk. My wife tried altering it and
    game up with something really good. She used granulated sugar and then garnished the servings wit grated lime zest and bits of candied ginger.
    It was better than the original Butterscotch.

    Yep. It does NOT keep well and should be greedily gobbled up within
    minutes after it's on the table (or in the feed trough, if your family
    uses that) . That's why you'll never see it in any military rations.

    That's also why it isn't more popular, and why most restaurants don't
    offer it. They know damn well that a day after making, it would be
    pretty shitty. It's just not worth the effort and rush.

    The bananas also need to be at exactly the right stage when preparing.
    If they are too ripe, or too green, you'll get shitty results.

    Most people are probably not willing to make good banana pudding. Now
    that I'm old, I don't make it any more, but I made it many times in the
    past. Sometimes I miss it.

    We might have a jar of that somewhere. We're getting rid of pans and I thought I'd try a stainless steel and before dumping it. So I made some loco moco. That pan works great with that dish because you get some nice drippings with it - it makes very nice gravy. Gravy is the heart and soul of a loco Moco.

    I still have part of a jar of that, but I like this better. https://shop.minorsfood.com/products/minors-beef-au-jus-concentrate-no-added-msg-copy

    The downside is that it's more expensive than the BTB. I'm using up the
    BTB by combining the two when I make "faux beef gravy," that's like the
    gravy they put on mashed potatoes in the cafeterias of my youth. I ate
    at a cafeteria today. I went in for a skin cancer checkup, and had to
    have a biopsy, so I deserved a treat. The doctor is fairly close to a
    hospital where I like the cafeteria food. Today, it was "cod nuggets,"
    for $5. I told the chick at the doctor's office I was going to that
    cafeteria for a treat, and she said that she used to work at [a
    different hospital], and the cafeteria food there was great.

    On a related note..... last night the Italian take out's Thursday night Seniors special was tortellini. DsiI's report made me think about how
    Italian women would spend the time and energy to make those things. That
    must have been boring and time consuming. It would not be hard to
    convince me that those tortellini I had last night were made by a machine.

    I actually had a choice last night. This was the first time there were
    two choices. It is usually just one dish offered as the special thought
    they generally have their other items at the regular prices. Last night
    they had a choice of the tortellini or stuffed shells. That was a hard decision because they are both wonderful.

    If they're home made, the restaurant owners would need to own such a

    lasagna. If it was a different brand, it was an off brand.

    We might have a jar of that somewhere. We're getting rid of pans and
    I thought I'd try a stainless steel and before dumping it. So I made
    some loco moco. That pan works great with that dish because you get

    I've been thinking of trying L&L's loco moco, but worry the gravy might be too bland for my taste, unlike mochiko chicken or chicken katsu curry, both of which I adore.

    I still have part of a jar of that, but I like this better. https://shop.minorsfood.com/products/minors-beef-au-jus-concentrate-no-added-msg-copy

    The downside is that it's more expensive than the BTB. I'm using up
    the BTB by combining the two when I make "faux beef gravy," that's
    like the gravy they put on mashed potatoes in the cafeterias of my

    checkup, and had to have a biopsy, so I deserved a treat. The doctor
    is fairly close to a hospital where I like the cafeteria food. Today,
    it was "cod nuggets," for $5. I told the chick at the doctor's office
    I was going to that cafeteria for a treat, and she said that she used

    you are constantly teaching Chef Bryan. Soon he will be as

    I have seen Cool Whip used on top of banana pudding but that's when instant vanilla pudding is used instead of the cooked custard. ˙?
    If I were to go that route, I'd at least use instant banana pudding. Eggs have been separated to make the custard and the egg whites are for the meringue;
    no need to waste them. A lot of people don't care for it, I say just scrape it off to the side.

    Meringue can be a turn off for some people. I like it well enough
    provided it is not overly sweet. There is a local restaurant that seems
    to be especially popular among the seniors. It is famous for our pies. I
    am not sure exactly why because they aren't that great. Some of them are topped with meringue and they really go overboard with it and have a
    topping that is easily 2 1/2 inches or more. It's ridiculous. Luckily it
    is not overly sweet. It is very light and airy and quite bland so there
    is nothing to dislike about it.

    Some cooks are proud of their high and light meringues with the spikey tips toasted just the right color. Egg whites, bowl, and beaters all need to be

    I like it in most cases. There are different textures of meringue. The meringue I make for pies is light and fluffy and a sweeter than the
    stuff at that restaurant. I also brown it a little more than they do,

    My mother used to make meringue shells that she would serve with ice
    cream and fruit or chocolate sauces. They had a denser and crispier
    texture that the pit topping. They were a family favourite. A couple
    times I had meringue shells from bakeries and did not like them at all.

    One of my wife's cousins was real foodie and an excellent cook. He would
    eat just about anything, but he detested meringues. I tried to convince
    him that they can be good but he had had so many of those hard things
    from bakeries that he never wanted to have to eat them again.

    I prefer Italian meringue to the usual French variety, It's crisper
    and melts cleanly in the mouth. However, it's a fiddle top make and
    I only make it for macarons.

    Yes, it's very pretty. It tastes like sweetened styrofoam to me.

    Looking up Italian meringue, it sounds a lot like divinity candy but that
    has corn syrup in it. As I like meringue and divinity, pretty sure Italian meringue would be a favorite.

    I'd be happy to render my opinion if you send me a large sampling next time
    you make these.

    I've been thinking of trying L&L's loco moco, but worry the gravy might be too

    Indeed, gravy at a Hawaiian food place on the mainland is a big crap shoot. You

    some Sriracha on top. Even Tabasco sauce will do. What can be better than a hamburger patty with brown gravy on top? Not much.

    It's been a long, long time since I've received a package with those packing peanuts in the box. Everything now comes with one those air-filled pillow

    Never had home made, seems simple enough:

    https://www.daringgourmet.com/homemade-cream-celery-soup/
    For best results, be sure to use good quality celery that?s very fr
    esh
    and full of flavor. When it comes to celery, organic really is best. Non-organic commercial celery usually just tastes like a crunchy stalk
    of water with a ?hint? of celery. So get the good stuff fr
    om your
    local farmer?s market.





    Is this the same son with all that cheese?
