This is a wonderful thing to do for a friend! She is a very, very lucky gal to have a friend like you. Bravo and I hope someone does something incredible for you on your birthday.

My tongue was firmly in my cheek when I wrote my comment.😬

I like the website also. I visited it when it won the award and had forgotten about it. I love the name too.

Yikes, those look soooo good. I love ground lamb in pastry. I will be making these too. i cannot buy anymore cookbooks until I free up some more shelf space...need to deal with my cooking magazines. I think I will donate my Bon Appetite and Food and Wine copies and just keep the Finecooking. That would help a lot.

There are a lot of fries. Ha, ha. “I’ll have the sandwich, hold the bread” 🤪

So I would do a tester but cannot tell you what the settings should be seeing I have only cooked them thawed.

Season caught my eye too. in case you haven’t seen it, here’s a link to his website recipe index. I think I will try a few, starting with the roast beets. http://www.abrowntable.com/recipe-index/

They thaw quickly so that’s what I would do rather than guess at the time unless someone answers. Also the size of the shrimp is probably important. May be do a tester.

Your prime rib sandwich looks like what is called beef dip in these parts.

Which ones are you getting? I do not think I need another Ottolenghi book.

I usually put it in the freezer because I want the flour as fesh as possible.

This is the only stuff I can get.

Getting a consistent puff can be tricky. I have found the right setting on my Wolfe through trial and error. I cook 30 sec on one side, flip and cook 60 sec, flip and cook 30 sec pressing down on the edges with towel to help the puff. Good luck.

Sorry, I think the ‘h’ was a typo which happens on my iPad key board....so, yes 1/4 inch wide...or wider if you like! All good when fried to crispy.

Beautiful garden Shelby😍

I think anyone who has come across that sign has likely jammed the brakes on for a picture. And that’s ALL I’m saying😑

There are about 35 wineries along the 15 kms between us here in little Naramata and the larger centre of Penticton. All but one are open around 10 am daily during June through to end of September. There are loads of tour operators with 12 to 15 seat buses. They stop in at four or five wineries in an afternoon and often stop at one for lunch. Getting to be BIG business. When we moved here in 2005 there were 15 wineries so tremendous growth. At first no tasting fees but with so many people touring the fees were necessary. Winery owners do not generally like the tour buses because their patrons usually do not buy. $25 for a couple of ounces seems a bit much and $5 for multiple tastes seems low. Weird.

Everything is Drool worthy. Thank goodness all that didn’t catch on fire with last catastrophe in the area. May I ask what the wine tasting fees are like? I’ve heard they are quite pricey compared to what is charged around the Okanagan. Fees here are usually $5 for 3 to 5 wines to try and it is almost always waived if you purchase a bottle.

Ditto. I really want that pig foot and the salad using beautiful butter lettuce. i make a trotter spring roll from Happy in The Kitchen which is what it sounds like...those are a lot of work...taking the 30 odd bones out of the foot.

Thank you for sharing your breadth of knowledge! Very interesting. I love cooking your county’s cuisine. It is never tiring.

ThosE spuds look very creamy. Was the chicken breast cooked nicely or over done? I am afraid to order chicken when eating out?

Snails in garlic butter with bread = heaven on earth😍
