  1. Not to rain on the parade, but as a native Angeleno who worked next to a Sees store - imitation may be ill advised, Do your own thing. My two cents. I was young and thin and sampled every day.
  2. A co mmon hot sauce. Not super hot roasted taste, just a nice addition to the hot sauce collection. Common in grocery stores. https://www.juanitas.com/pico-pica/hot-sauce/
  3. What are the veg components you would replicate. Beans I imagine plus? Pico Pica is a nice condiment - on my breakfast tortilla with egg every morning during my pregnancy years ago.!!!
  4. I'd blame crowding, but sure it was tasty.

    Dinner 2023

    I never think of tomatoes and carrots together. I ned to play. Thanks.
  6. You enablers Getting ready to call round to see turkey prices. Neice will not be back in US until 24th but I may do one just for the carcass stock and dark meat. Coyotes and raccoons can have the breast
  7. Unfortunately true and not funny in the self check-out.
  8. And let us not even go to sauce styles which are integral to US Southern Q
  9. I'd planned roast broccoli salad but took a look yesterday and = not perky. It is quite cool, so soup. Onion, garlic, touch butter, water, chopped broccoli, chicken powder, black pepper, water. Simmered til quite tender, added hot mustard and handful frozen peas. Stick blendered to pretty smooth. Stirred in big dollop of yogurt. Satisying and nice to have when you just want something tasty and warming. Image is what remains to be eaten as desired. Dashes of hot sauce at service.
  10. Odd conversation, In California BBQ means outdoor grilling. Today Q Southern style means
  11. I have driven past lots of the big turkey ranches here out near County Fairgrounds. They are running round . Everyone loves a loss leader and well prepared pretty dang tasty. Granted California trends non hormone/antibiotoic.
  12. I like them. The perect hardness, low sugar, just right with a warm beverage. In my markets they are stocked in the Jewish/kosher section. Cheap too.
  13. Opa's sausages = grandpa's sausages. Yes still fun to explore even if nothing "needed". Thanks.
  14. It got suddenly shockingly cold yesterday late afternoon. Closed doors/windows. Pulled blanket from back of my chair like a cape around my shoulders. Went to kitchen to check on my chard/shrimp/pasta dish. Fringe of "cape" caught on fire. Blue/yellow flame? I stupidly stared in fascination, finally got self over to sink and doused it. I was so cold I never took blanket off and had neice cut the burned part off. My food was great, but the burned material smell! Odd how fire can tranfix you.

    Vanilla sugar

    I grew up with European pastries and the shaker of powdered sugar with a whole vanilla bean kept inside. Did the trick, lasted looong time.

    Lunch 2023

    Sound delicious. Out here with that level of innards they'd more likely be griddled between two tortillas, pushed down a bit and cut in large wedges versus a fat taco.
  17. Ha I thought it was your homespeak for an everything but the kitchen sink stew/soup ;
  18. Nice marketing info on the tomatoes. What does this mean "The outside stuff in the cooler was still frozen solid, so I didn't need to make soom." "

    Thanksgiving prep

    PS on the Clamato - most seafood stalls sell "Cocteles". A large goblet with mixed items, then goblet filled to brim with tomato juice or the tomato/clam juice. Ice cold beer alongside always. So a natural progression?

    It looks like how some companies sell Braunschweiger here. I'm curious too.

    Thanksgiving prep

    Pretty typical in Mexico along coast
  22. Wow - considering you also shop cool places along way - we will not fear about your nutrition. Sending you good wishes for no mechanical bloopers.
  23. This past week the local Beyond Meat plant in El Segundo cut its work force by 19% citing declining demand.
  24. You could do as the United attendant suggested when I asked her to warm up baby's bottle on an LA>Sydney flight "I can't. Just stick it between your boobs"
