My friend brought me a small loaf of Rhubarb Bread yesterday; I'd never had that before and couldn't believe how good it was. She shared the recipe with me and I picked up some very nice fresh rhubab at WinCo. If you can still get your hands on some rhubarb I can guarantee you will love this recipe: https://www.allrecipes.com/recipe/17970/rhubarb-bread-i/ Note: She uses buttermilk instead of the milk/lemon juice.

I've tried several of the quiche recipes and all were quite easy as well as tasty.

thanks for my first laugh of the day. You never fail to amuse even in the worst of circumstances. That description was perfect.

Your beef and cabbage recipe really speaks to me, I’ll definitely try that.

Whoa! She has her own pizza boxes too?!

yesterday when I was making my sloppy joe recipe and needed to measure out 2/3 cup of ketchup, I had to take the cap off the bottom of the container in order to squeeze out anything more than a teaspoon. Since they still make the bottled version I think I'll choose that next time.

Clearly that was a smart decision.

I don't t remember which season it was but the episode with the shaving of the head was the ultimate of stupidity and I hope those who instigated it will bear the shame for a long time.

No label. I think what I did was vacuum it foolishly thinking it would get used soon and I would remember what it was....chuckle. chuckle. Lord knows it's not the first time I've done this. The important thing is that it turned out really good; I did up the seasoning a bit.

Let me preface my question with information that I very rarely cook with ground pork (lest you think I’m I’m incredibly stupid). I took a package of ground meat out of the freezer believing it was ground beef. As I cooked it I noticed it smelled and looked different. I’m pretty darned sure now It was was pork. I was making it into a homemade sloppy joe mix in my crockpot (it’s over 100F Here this week)/ Question: is this going to be really awful?

Or dropping fly parts into the stew!

Looks pretty interesting, however, the don’t ship to my area.

You need to make some Bacon Jam for your next burger. You need no other accompaniments.

When working butter into four/sugar mix instead of using a one’s fingers or a pastry cutter can you not use a food processor?

Me too

I really don't think you need to worry...they overnight it with dry ice. I'm sure if it arrived less than perfect they would replace it; their customer service has been stellar. Go for it!

It might be important where and with whom this happens. Are you with friends in a bar or restaurant? Or are you home by yourself. I'm more likely to have a second if I'm out for lunch. If I'm home I only want one. With mixed drinks, at home I'll have one, then I don't want another, but at 5PM I'll follow that drink with a glass of wine (or two). That's happy hour for me, followed by dinner. If you have no problem stopping with two I sure wouldn't worry about it. YMMV

Here's another take on bacon jam. I'll try adding some bourbon next time I make it. Boozy Bacon Jam

I really don't know. It was recommended to me by my friend. I do know that, the jalapeno component aside, it is really high quality bacon.

I didn't make my bacon jam until yesterday because I wanted some really good jalapeno bacon that I can only get from a meat packing shop in another town. So I cooked it up and spread some on my grilled burger last night. OMG!!! What a revelation! The best burger I've ever had. Now I need to go buy more of that bacon and make a double batch. I assume it would freeze well?

I cook salmon and steelhead all the time. I usually just broil it for a few minutes on the meaty side, l perhaps undercooking it slightly.

In case you might be tempted, Wild Alaska has a Spot Prawn available for a limited time. You just need to add it to your order.

Portland being the city where I lived for 36 years, it's a real treat to revisit some of the popular places. It makes me proud to see the chefs behaving so civilly, unlike some we've seen in the past. I'm hoping the show will give the city a well-needed shot in the arm. Downtown has taken a terrible blow from last year's destruction...many stores and buildings are boarded up and/or closed for good.

My good friend and neighbor has mentioned more than once how much she liked her Ninja Foodi. So, of course, I caved and bought one too. Well, despite the silly name, this is one very versatile small appliance. I have made baked potato, grilled chicken, halibut and cod, hamburgers and all kind of vegetables. Fast and efficient with easy clean-up (everything goes in the d/w). I've only used it as an air fryer once for French fries. It's this one: Ninja

I received my second order from Wild Alaska today. I got the Wild Combo which consists of 12 total pieces: Salmon, Halibut and Cod. The quality is wonderful and it arrives in one day, still frozen solid in dry ice. I bough at white fish combo last Summer and I'm happy to order more.
