I've gotta try this recipe!!!

Dredged up another rather old thread here. I was surprised to find pickled onions at my grocer's. These are very good, though a bit on the sweet side. Also, Neapolitan pickled onions are the best for a Gibson.

I do. And I have one of the RL designs. I try to remember to put it on before I spill on myself. However, it's always one of those "I shall never again" moments.

I want to make this cocktail. Have to get the package store first! Fleur de Lis Cucumber Gin Cocktail 3 slices cucumber (2 to 3 slices) 1/2 ounce lime juice 1/4 ounce St. Germain elderflower liquor 1 1/4 ounces Hendricks gin (or other cucumber based gin) 1/2 ounce simple syrup 3 ounces ginger ale 1 cup ice Lime wedge for garnish Place cucumber slices in a cocktail shaker. Use a muddler or the handle of a wooden spoon to crush the cucumbers. Add lime juice, elderflower liquor, gin, simple syrup, and ice. Shake for about 30 seconds. Pour the drink into a cocktail glass. Top with ginger ale. Garnish with a cucumber slice or lime wedge.

I found this old thread while using The Wayback Machine. I've tried making brown rice any number of times but never like it much until... I used the CI recipe for Foolproof Oven baked Brown Rice. Game changer.

I've never tried Hendrick's (cucumber) gin, does it make a good martini?

EVERTHING these days seems impossible to open without a machete!

check your PMs.

I am a big fan of dirty martinis however I don’t often drink them because if I have more than one I can easily get shitfaced.

What I've learned about those 2-inch ice cubes (which I really like, especially the ones made to look like golf balls) is that you'd better start with very cold ingredients since they melt so slowly. (I don't like to wait.)

You opted for ground beef? The spicy Italian sausage was awfully good.

@Shelby, I used Pillsbury's. it was the only kind in the store and it worked really well.

For some reason I've been craving some sort of savory pie. Then I ran across this recipe. I made it yesterday and it was amazingly good.

Please do not refer to yourself as very old....there are some of us who are nose to tail.

I have a question that I've been worrying over for quite some time. With all the weird and crazy things that have been happening in the country for some time, how do you go out into some of these deserted places alone and feel safe?

I can use that one!

Make Cool-Aid, Not Kool-Aid 4-6 HERBAL TEA BAGS (pick a robustly flavored fruit variety) About 4 cups boiling WATER, plus more cold water. 2 tablespoons raw APPLE CIDER VINEGAR. NuNaturals LIQUID STEVIA CONCENTRATE or other sweetener to taste. Instructions In a large pitcher or measuring cup, steep the teabags in hot water for 5-10 minutes. Add the honey and stir until dissolved, then add the lemon juice. Put the ice in the pitcher and pour the warm tea concentrate over the top. Taste and add more water if desired. Add fresh fruit for extra flavor and zing.

Interesting, but I wonder what they taste like. Anyone willing to try this? I just might have to.

No, wait! I'll be right over. That looks SOO good, I really want to make that recipe.

I always follow the directions given by my (Zo) machine's manual, i.e., liquids, followed by dry.

I got a pour-over cone coffee dripper here. Since I make just one cup of cofee each morning and I finally tired of the Keurig K-cup coffee that just doesn't have enough flavor. Additionally, I use ground coffee as I don't want mess of grinding my own...been there. I found a new coffee that I really like, it's Starbucks MorningJoe and it's great. Smooth and full of flavor. My morning cup is so much better these days and only takes a couple more minutes.

Speaking of Quiche, this recipe is next on my menu for later this week, as soon as soon as I can get the smoked salmon. Looks really good.

this one?

Red Beans and Rice in the crockpot for tonight; smells great, just have to put the rice in the Zo rice cooker. Thought about black-eyed peas but decided against it for today.
