Also peanut butter cookies that use bothh brown sugar and browned butter. Exx: https://mamaneedscake.com/brown-butter-peanut-butter-cookies/

Agree - dental work is expensive. As a low brow easy experiemtn I;d try spreading chunky peanut butter on a lightly weet cook woth a caramelized flavor like Biscoff. My suoermarket has been featuring them in little snack packs last several months. See if her itch is satisfied. Their cookie butter also an idea. https://www.shopbiscoff.com/biscoff-cookie-butter?

W the rice texture or taste your wife did not enjoy. Or some people are taste affected by color.

@shain the oatmeal in the soup - just a bit for thickening or a textural element. I'd not seen that before. Oh and I'lll take a few of those scallion cakes - a favorite of mine!

I think they are appreciated esp if you make them very forest like with the meringue mushrooms. A classic.

:Love the stark white simple buildings and the blue/green windows amd doors. Lack of graffiti is interesting. Here in US toilets usually free but homelessness issues can make it tough. A StarBucks near LAX airport had no public one at all or at some they give you an entry code when you order/pay.-bit needed when coffee served. That lane with the cobblestone brick look - intresting sloping. Bougainvillia so perfectly lovely for arid climates. I never water all my old ones and they "bloom" year round - yes the colored part not technically the flower. Food as always enticing. The cheeses! Thank you.

I am clueless but surprised there were no directions on the tyoes of chocolate that will flow correctly. Bittersweet? so not little kids (though I like the Hershey dark as a kid) Will be interested to hear.

Loks like the ski9n crisoed up? And how do you like the purple rice. I have not had it.

Bags of raw chicken feet (sans pedicure) are cheap and plentiful at my large Chinese market (99 Ranch). I always kept a bag inmy freezer to add to stock and sometimes braises for their gelatinous propertyy. As I've noted before, keeping the bag at the top pof the chest freezer also haalped deter teenage boys from raiding the microwavable snack boxes. A teen boy squeal makes a girl one seem innocuous. Also great as a prop in Halloween haunted houses.

I've whittled my list of recipients way down the last few years and between Covid fears and my mobility issues will not bake thi year. Plus some of the older folk say thank you and then tell you they are not supposd to indulge per doctors. I asked City Hall and the guards if they get inundated with goodies and they said yes it is ridicu8lous. So I've switched to early in year random gifting (after the New Years resolutions wear off) and it seems more appreciated when unexpected. I do have a good bit of honey from generous bee guy so may at least bake a honney spice cake or some honey nut drop cookies.

My stepmother adores those necks and it is where she veers toward at Chinese market here in US. She sort of steam bakes them - well seasoned.

Hope to see that cooking, Safe travels

OMG Mission is the stamdard tortilla brand in mainstream markets here in U.S. - based in Texas. . I did not know their foreign markets. Here considered decent. I'll probably buy some at next store visit as I can't get to Mexican market- both flour and corn.. Here more about texture and flavored ones not hyped. Used for burritos, quesadillas and to wrap flavorful fillings.They need to be warmed.

I thought those fried noodle blocks as originally promoted by Nissin in Japan as instant ramen is its own thing. Originally by Nissin in Japan. We have a huge factory locally. I think @Duvel's explanation correct for @Shelby's product.

Interesting as I would not of thought the pie enjoyable in the ice cream though I like the flavors. I think others here call the cleaning folks - "Cleaning Angels".

Around here I'd see a small basket of them on the table at coffee shop type places like the sugar packet container. I'd see older ladies slip a packet or two in their hamdbags "foir later". Yes sort of emergency provisions in the 2 to a packet form for freshness.

My grandpa HAD to have white bread - even Wonder soft - to mop up anything - but not toast...

But I did not grow up with them so not my comfort list. I was shocked once when we took the boat captains to lunch after a successful fishing on their small craft and the one ordered ceviche with saltines - in Cancun. I've never understood that cracker but clearly - universal appeal. Also seen it in Mexico with seafood cocteles.

So the toast is the incongruous with the meal (to me) your hubbie's bread with meal thing? Love outdoor grilling. I can almost smell it (not the toast oops)

I think processing has changed in mainstream US - you'd see them in the past (the rooster bits). But I have nit seen them "in situ" for a while. I'll mention as well whole cultures that adore grilling these innards. The hearts are a big deal in Latin America - like this https://braziliankitchenabroad.com/grilled-chicken-hearts/ and Japan is no slouch on the grilled chicken innards of all sorts. https://www.kaveyeats.com/japanese-style-yakitori-chicken-hearts

Ach you had me with the Mohn - we used to do a semi puff pastry Kipferl wth Mohn filling as well as the Strudel. Oh and the poppyseed baking canned ingredient marketed here has a great cake on the can. I envy your marmalade. My lemon tree and kumquat tree gave me the finger with the drought. Getting rain now so maybe next year. Thanks! https://www.solofoods.com/products/cake-pastry-fillings/solo-poppy-seed-filling

ops forgot to insert link - I'll blame the weather and the elders I think the US chain Popeyes used to sell fried gizzards so maybe a South US thing. I do enjoy them.

with the lean little critter - do you have a marinade or method tip esp for the grill. I have only braised.

A point about the dish that I like to nise is that the setting of eating it is a huge part of the experience for me. Nothing I crave, but after a less than enjoyable day on the slopes (miscalc on run level) wow my best bowl was in the lodge cafeteria - everyone cradling styrofoam bowls of it. There were snow fliurries. Talk about "hit the spot".

Here is a prior topic on gizzards. As a kid the only ones I had were from inside a whole chicken and us cousins had a "pecking order" on whose turn it was for heart and gizzard.Tjey were as clean as need be. @Shelbyn has often shown us her fried gizzards - cpnsider the gizz-queen
