  1. I'd go crunch and consider the pinepple chunks maybe lightly broiled mixed with spring onions, cabbage, a nuoc mam type dressing with lots o citrus and grated ginger. Takes the sorta one note out o the meal. Keep cabbage proportion low and watch the salt. I like this style tossed with noodle o your choice - again not the star just an added texture. Play :   Kids and adults like a touch o mayo added.

    Egg, blood sausage, aged cheddar with romaine and dragon's tongue mustard on a toasted bagel. Tomato with basil and pepper on the side.

    The dragon's tongue mustard is something new I grew this year. Very flavourful with a strong mustard oil aroma. It worked well in the sandwich.

    Does it retain that taste when cooked? Sounds like a worthwhile  greento grow.

    In much of Asia, especially China, people want to see evidence that what they are eating is what it is advertised as. The first time I really took that in was in 1997 in a Yunnan market where someone was selling donkey meat and had the donkey's head propped up on the trestle table that was his business premises.

    Now I hardly notice these things. I find it a welcome honesty as to what they are selling, rather the west's plastic-wrapped meat anonymity and avoidance of explicit recognition of the food's origin.

    Isn't it the same in phrance so you know the rabbit or hare is not a cat - show head/legs?

    Jessica has been doing a long stint of overnight pet sitting and the people told her to please take the ripe peppers from their backyard so they wouldn’t go to waste.  This is the second bowlful that she’s brought home:

    That’s a large bowl – big enough to hold salad for six.  Mr. Kim held back a couple to eat fresh and taken the rest to work to share with crazy people 😜. 

    I think you are not a heat lover but they are beautiul.

    @heidih--  flakey/ not dry/  this halibut came from Alaska from my patient.  These filets  are similar to a salted cod/  much more dense

     

    I had 2 neighbors who fished Alaska annually - the halibut was so so good. I miss them!  Nice patient + good doc = good things.

    My new fave everyday chocolate bar purveyor....the 99 Cent Store in Tucson!

     

    Every bit as good as the $3.99 bars of Ghirardelli or Lindt.

     

    The Belgium bars are $1.49 and the Alter Eco (free trade) ones are $1.29 to $1.99.

    With ya! I used to get a similar French one at 99Cent. Perfect thickness and bitter. Alas no more.

    This looks way too white!  I only had basil in fridge and thought it would be too strong.  It was a last-minute quick dinner without any pre-planning.  

     

    Sauce over the angel hair is pancetta, oven-roasted garlic, reduced wine and cream.  Topped with toasted pistachios and fresh grated parm.  Toasted garlic bread with scattering of smoked sea salt.  

     

    Been away from site for awhile....ups and downs medically, but feeling better now.

    Sounds good to me. Is the background some type of terrazzo style stone? I like it.

    I'm in that camp as well.  It's  not all foods, but some.  Chicken stock in particular leaves me with little to no appetite after smelling it all day.

    Ha! My avatar dog Murphy would worship all night when I did crock pot chicken stock, wait patiently as I decanted next morn and put some in a big stainless biwl for him to clean up/slurp up. I was good with smell.
