  1. I ordered some from earlier this week. From Amazon I got the  DK Harvest ( Dien Khanh)brand ,I had ordered the Tellicherry, but was sent the Vietnamese black. The peppercorns are tiny, but have a wonderful peppery taste and fragrant aroma...nice and fresh, air tight sealed bag. Only $8.90 for a 16oz. Would definitely order from them again.

    OK I will admit to my complete ignorance. I have never eaten green goddess dressing. Except for the stuff they put on these fries which wasn’t a bit green. Is it green?

    Typically it is greener, but with everyone and their cousin making and posting a version of it on Pinterest, it seems to be morphing into a glorified ranch dressing.  Epicurious has a buttermilk version that is much like I make and remember from my childhood, but they also have one that uses a large quantity of watercress and is full on pea puree green.

  3. For those of you who do frequent Aldi , I went to my local one today, and the butter , both salted and unsalted, was one sale for $1.47 lb. Didn't need heavy cream so I didn't pay attention to the price. Now having said that I don't know if the prices are by the store, regional, or nation wide, but just an FYI for those who bake and might be interested.

    Probably not what comes to your mind when you think of McDonald's.

    The two large characters, 粥王 zhōu wáng mean "Congee King". They offer three varieties. The large picture is Century egg and chicken congee with a potato fritter. At the bottom they  show:

    Left - Pickled vegetable, crisp bamboo shoot and chicken,
    Centre - The large picture repeated

    Right - Salted egg yolk and chicken.

     

    All three come with a potato fritter.

    In the largest photo, I can totally see the yolk and "white" parts of the century egg, but what pray tell is the large plum colored item on the upper right that looks like an acrylic nail? 

  5. This year from my 92 year old neighbor, I received a 1# bag of shelled pecans from FL and a gallon bag of in shell pecans from LA. The Louisiana pecans were the longest I have ever seen., between 1 1/2" and 2".

    I also received an IMUSA 14" light cast iron wok  and my first Insta Pot, a 6 qt. size. I have only ever used a standard Presto pressure cooker, so this should be fun. My stepdad said they were not given for purely unselfish reasons. 🍖

     

    Also a handful of my favorite silicone spatulas, pastry brush, whisk, etc...in my stocking.

    My closest Aldi is less than 3 miles from my house.  I am so lucky.  

    I'm in Indiana and our closest is app. 3 miles as well.  It is my primary shopping outlet. 

  7. @blue_dolphin, Have you thought about redistributing the filling on the H&C square? it's been my experience that when any ham product has been frozen, they release a good bit of the water that was added during the hams production. The extra surface coverage might allow for more of the moisture to bake off rather than collect underneath the filling and allow for a more even bake of the pastry.

    I thought Moon Pies were basically two cookies (more like graham cracker) with marshmallow sandwiched between dipped in flavored coating. Chocolate, vanilla and banana are the flavors I remember but I haven't had them in a whole lot of years so I wouldn't be surprised if there are others. There's a similar product in Canada called Wagon Wheels.

     You are correct... that is why I only said they "look" like.    😋  I almost explained a MP, but even though they are a graham cracker like layer, they never tasted like a graham cracker to me,  so I just went for the resemblance as far as the lovely even layers.
