  1. Joy, joy, joy to the world. Joie is back! Missed you very much. So happy to see you but my heart aches for Noah. Hope he feels well again very soon, and you then can get some rest, too!

    The chicken chili/stew over rice sounds great! I'm sure the Jello was yummy in his tummy!

  2. You all surely must realize that even though Afterburner started it, this is actually Lorna's long-running blog...perhaps we should change the topic title to ..."What Ling had for dessert...any and all may join in, of course" :raz:

    I love ya, Lorna :wub:

  3. Susan, absolutely spectacular! :wub: I can just imagine the complexity of flavors and textures: the crisp potatoes fried in goose fat, the luxurious, silky salmon, the cool, smoothness of the sour cream, the snap-crackle-pop of the flying fish roe, oh my!

  4. Percy, love those eggs! The sponge cakes are one of my favorites, I used to get them all the time at the Vietnames shopping center in Virginia...now you've made me homesick!

    Karen, your strata looks so delicious!!

    My pancakes came out pretty good this morning, light and fluffy. Swimming in pure maple syrup, topped with buttery toasted almonds. with some luscious mango, the pancakes made for a perfect breakfast here in the rainy tropics.

  5. Christmas is my favorite time of year. As Diner Girl says in her "You Know It's Christmas when...." thread, it's all bout the smells, tastes and sounds (and a very touching tv commercial :wub: )

    When I'm in the States, I always look forward to the See's candy stand at the shopping mall. set up just before Christmas and then gone soon after until the next year.

    Here in Indonesia, Starbucks is offering the Christmas blend coffee, my favorite supermarket has stocked up on eggnog, and I even saw Coffeemate Gingerbread creamer, which I believe is seasonal, out only around Christmastime.

    There are candy canes, tree/star/angel/Santa shaped sugar cookies galore. And fruitcake, too! Passing by the Baskin-Robbins counter, I spotted an ice cream confection decorated in Yuletide fashion.

    What are your favorite "Just for the Holiday/Limited Edition" foods & treats?

  6. I had three mini-dinners tonight:

    Dinner 1, 5:30pm: PB&J using Polish Aronia jam on toasted crunchy whole wheat bread.

    Dinner 2, 6:30pm: A Texas grapefruit, peler a vif and sectioned clean.

    Dinner 3, 7:45pm: The last bits of hanger steak from last night's dinner, with a kosher dill pickle.

    Gotta love being pregnant. :wacko:

    Rochelle, congratulations! The kosher dill pickle was a dead giveaway :raz:

  7. I always take a quick skim through the magazine, but this morning I took one for the team and decided to actually buy the November issue.

    IMO the food photography is excellent, clean and clear...some are truly drool inducive! The recipes are straightforward, especially nice for me since most of the ingredients are readily available to me.

    Among all the delicious ideas, the lamb burger on pg. 124 is something I may try to make this weekend, it looks wicked with the beetroot salsa!
