  1. Time saving conveniemnce I do take for granted. I have done two complete kitchen renos while living in the houses and limped by with electric fry pan and dishes in bathtub or on front lawn. As a teen I got a reprint of https://www.amazon.com/Housekeeping-Containing-Contributions-Housewives-Distringuished/dp/B000GU4QEA and loved the cooking stories in Little House On The Prairie books by Laura Ingalls Wilder. Also as an adult Edna  Lewis The Taste of Country Cooking

    I"m not sure I've ever seen wine in cans. Is this common in Germany?

    Allover internet now. One ad has a woman takig her trash out and the bottles clinking loudly. Then with the cans -no noise

  3. I've used two. Real Naturals and another whose name escapes me. But they do not have the other ingredients like the LA Times ones. I hd never seen them promote a product like that. The demise/desperation o newspapers? I use it almost daily - nice to sprinkle on so many things.

    lI had to look up  topfenknödel

    ut seemed to get a sweet dessert.

    It is just a dumpling that incorporates a cottage cheese like curd. Can go sweet or savory.

    My parents are visiting over the weekend, and my father is very much into soups. Made a big batch of curried pumpkin soup and and even larger batch of duck phở, the latter being our dinner tonight.

    Duck broth with aromatics, leg meat, bean sprouts, rice noodles, cilantro & mint. Sriracha later added …

     

    No complaints 🤗

    Those look like udon noodles or did you get  thick tapioca/rice ones?

     Also made my standard water chestnuts wrapped in bacon. If I don't make them someone always asks why I didn't.

    I mentioned a similar to neice - but water chesnut goes inside date & then bacon wrapped. She said they do it with a chunk o pineapple inside.

    Wow. Sago palm seeds are lethal. You ate them?

    Google around there are various varieties - not all toxic. I don't like them mostly because peopke would donate them wanting a donation veritication for IRS and nobody wanted to buy them.

    Variation on Mango Masala Curry with sweet potatoes, mango (not too ripe to make it not too sweet and have some sourness ), onions, garlic, curry powder, garam masala, cumin, curry leaves, black mustard seeds, coconut milk, cashew nuts

    Did you pound the cashew nuts or leave them whole? They can be subtle. I would love one day to see one in situ - the sorta nipple on an apple like fruit,

    Goldfish Limited Edition pumpkin spice grahams - I just tried them yesterday. They are not overly sweet, which makes them more addictive. The goldfish are a little larger in size than the standard crackers.

    OMG they are inculcating the toddlers who will be sneaking mom's pumpkinspice latte next

    I have had alligator a few times, deep fried nugget-style.  To me, it tasted like a river smells.  Not horrible but not very good.

    Has to be combined when done thusly w/ dipping sauce w/ strong taste >spice, acid, mayo

    Spinach_chorizo_202310a.thumb.jpg.159e264e3891bae79bc80163fe9aa965.jpg

     

    Spinach and chorizo with onion, chiles, garlic, tomato paste, fresh basil, thyme, and feta. Hit the spot.

     

    After a few days on the road I was craving green things. Last night's dinner was kimchee and buttered microwave peas.  🙄

    I burst out laughing cuz image screamed "swiss chard" which seems everywhere here & I like and just put on list. Sure your spinat was good.  Also giggled at the buttered kimchi & peas. Butter + kimchi seems a thing thse days but the peas - that was a twist. Thanks re your inspiring combos :
