I don't think this link is working.

@TdeV here's the link to the site Lovitalygourmet

Chirashi. Seared yellowfin, Wild Alaskan salmon, Alaskan ikura, avocado, tomato over seasoned sushi rice. Pickled cucumbers and radishes on the side.

The Hendrix is nice IMO and I'm guessing it would not be to everyone's taste. The Cabaret is a heavier fruity flavor --think a light sloe gin. The Flora is very heavy on lavender, which means I adore it. I'm a big fan of cooking/baking with lavender, so it is right up my alley. I tried both of them with sparkling water. I can even see a splash of the Flora in a cup of tea. I need to bring a tea bag or two back from the other house and try it.

I promise I feed my child when it's not "viral", but I rarely take pictures these days. Doner Kebabs anyway. Fresh off of Tik Tok for master 12. He likes lettuce, onion, cheese, sour cream and sweet chilli. Not going to lie, the flavour suffers when your conscience makes you pour off the fat 3x when you're baking the meat. This was a huge PITA And it came out dry Add his toppings to a Lebanese bread I had to toast it like it was from a real takeaway He enjoyed. I have accepted my nickname of "MummyLog". And one day I'll move back to a town where I can order in food!

I've tried to like them, but remain tepid, and I've seldom finished even a small cocktail one; on the other hand, you'd have to fight me to prise one of the square ones from my hands.

I'm impressed, and now also interested in this pan, because if I don't use parchment paper, my loaves stick in a loaf-mutilating way.

The sauce is Worcestershire Sauce, Tomato ketchup, Tabasco and Bacon like they do on the oysters. The Dim Sim filling? Anyone's guess depending on the brand 😅. But usually pork and cabbage, and we're talking lips and *ss hole pork like sausages. Still delicious. And Salty.

I know that as I'm shop there. I guess I'm surprised that BC doesn't.

Red Beans And Rice, but make it white beans and grits.

It's not been that long since the Ontario ones started.

Do the Costcos in BC not sell wine and beer?

Agreed - the Hendrix looks lovely. Unfortunately, here in BC, Canada, our antiquated liquor laws prevent Costco from selling booze!

I made pistachio/cranberry biscotti for our local hospital's ER team. I've had the pistachios in the freezer for 6 months or so. Husband and I have sampled the biscotti with no ill effects.🤞

No sticking. I buttered the inside of the pan.

It was just my regular recipe that I adjusted. Basically just subbing some of the water with milk and adding butter. I used 100g of the "mini starter" with 900g of flour, 1g of yeast, 13g of salt, 300g of water and 340g of whole milk and 1/3 cup of melted butter. Autolyze, stretch and fold method. I leave the dough for an hour rest after the first mix, and then do three more stretch and folds with a 30 minute rest in between. I left the dough out on the counter over night from 8:30PM until 3:30 AM . Divided the dough in half, preshaped and left for 30 minutes before finishing shaping. Buttered the bread pans and left to proof. Baked at 375 for about 45 to 50 minutes.

We have a regular Saturday afternoon catch up by video with a friend from our old stomping ground. Sundowners is a term used in the Northern Territory of Australia referring to drinks as the sun goes down after a hard days work. I know it has an alternative meaning, this isn’t it. She has the same Christian name as me, so we’re known as “the two Carolines” and we do sundowners on Saturday.

Absolutely love a roasted cabbage 🌸

Agreed. I'm short. Maybe I could pass as a friend 🙃🤣

And the Hendrix.

We need a Simpsons-like Homer drooling button....

Your "little one" and his friends have very sophisticated palates - good on you for introducing them to such a variety of foods and not a chicken nugget in sight!

I've just been skipping the endless updates on the pistachios, because at this point is anybody still buying them? This one is different, it's a brand of tahini/tahineh being recalled almost-nationally. https://recalls-rappels.canada.ca/en/alert-recall/aoun-brand-tahineh-recalled-due-salmonella-3

Little one invited a sleepover guest and requested bánh mì for dinner ... Started by making xá xíu from a nice slab of pork belly … Our favorite place for bánh mì in Hong Kong always had some great squid fritters as a starter for their lunch menu. I replicated them successfully - much to the delight of the kids … Served with fresh lime soda … Bread came from a Turkish bakery - very light, very crisp … best substitute for Vietnamese bread I have found so far. Generously spread with paté, followed by mayo, Vietnamese hoisin with a dash of Maggi, plenty of xá xíu and topped with pickled carrot, cucumber and cilantro. A fried egg for good measure. Some (commercial) Baumkuchen for dessert & a nice Ghibli movie for kids & adults … No complaints 🙏
