    Bubble Tea

    Yes. At the Asian mart near me they have both black and 'rainbow', though I can't tell a difference in flavor. A bag of dried boba costs about $2, and is enough to make more bubble tea than I'll consume in this lifetime.
  2. Somehow, cornmeal-fried oysters became our Christmas breakfast tradition.
  3. Oh, it's so comforting to know I'm not the only one who has chopped hot peppers with bare hands, grabbed the hot handle of an iron skillet, or forgotten to watch the broiler... I'll never again bake sweet potatoes directly on the oven rack. Or cook sugar without a thermometer. For those who have been bitten by the little teeth on the Saran Wrap package, I just found a brand -- and darnit, already forgot which one -- but it uses a plastic cutter that looks a lot like those ziplock bag closers. No more metal teeth, hooray! These may have been out a while, but I just discovered them.
  4. This thread has to be one of the most entertaining things I've read in a long, long time... I made my own worst meal. Was trying to impress the man I was dating with a salt-encased roast. Neither my own cooking skills nor the power of my oven were up to the job and, well, I don't have to describe to this crowd what it was like. He actually put some in his mouth, chewed, and (some minutes later) swallowed and called it good. Of course I married him. Been trying hard to make up for it ever since, but haven't had the nerve to try that dish again. "Salt Meat" is still a family joke.
  5. 43, and a number of overstuffed spiral binders with copied recipes and notes. Guess that makes me a Junior Member.
