Yes but it’s not very tasty —not even if you’re a vegan.

While orzo cooked in some chicken stock on the stove, I cooked up some onions, a couple of cherry tomatoes and a few shrimp on the A4. No, not the road going out of London! My new toy. My proportions were a bit off – – too much orzo not enough inclusions but it was tasty and I binned some of the excess orzo. My mind blanked — was it 1/3 of a cup or 2/3 of a cup of orzo I usually use. Well I picked the wrong one. Surely I must’ve cooked something before I became the proud owner of the A4 box. Yes, I know. I still owe you a demo with the takoyaki insert. Soon my pretties.

Orcdo what I do — always make sure that you’ve got more than enough butter for each slice of toast that way you don’t have to go back for more. Hard on the waistline but I hate crumbs in my butter.

It’s rather too bad because for some of us it seem to have potential. But apparently I guess they haven’t found the right demographic. Or at least not enough of them.

There are recipes all over out there.

I appreciate that but continuing a discussion with someone who hasn’t been seen for 15 years feels very much like a séance to me. But do feel free to carry-on. Who knows tomorrow you may conjure this missing poster. 😉

Apparently none are being returned to sender. Word is “very yummy” and I don’t tell you that to brag but to tell you that none of them in this group knew that these were gluten-free brownies. I suspect that they are one of the few things that lose very little in translation.

Not the oddest meal I have ever made or displayed. Lightly sautéed frozen broccoli, Blue cheese and cheddar cheese in a wrap with salsa. In my mind they were quesadillas but I think that’s probably stretching that word a bit too far. I really wanted some sour cream here. I am more than happy to eat blue cheese but I draw the line at pink sour cream. Guess it had missed its best by date by many days? weeks? months?

I wouldn’t do that if I were you. With @JoNorvelleWalker you need two hands on the wheel and your eyes on the road all the time. I missed the one on the lunch thread with respect to duck soup. I thought her use of “marx” had to do with Communist China and I couldn’t quite make it all fit. Wrong marx!

While the rice defrosts in the microwave, the box takes care of the pepperoni and egg. And before you know it I am enjoying an onigirazu for breakfast.

😂

Thank you. The plate was a thrift store find.

no doubt there will be frowns of disapproval at my dinner of spam and baby bok choy but I have reached an age now where I don’t give a damn. It was quick, it was tasty and I got to enjoy my new toy again. and a little chutney on the side because I can.

Kerry enjoys a spot of tea with her milk.

Oh yes. One of our Canadian chefs, Christine Cushing, Had a TV show at one time and from that show I got her recipe for sun-dried tomato pesto. Boy was it good!

I am also fond of sardines in tomato sauce. Usually just have them on toast and I’ve never thought of putting them on pasta. But I’ll stick that one in my back pocket for future reference. Thank you. By the way what is red pesto? I’m assuming it’s tomato-based.

Deep, dark, and I hope, delicious brownies. I forgot the baking powder but since I was making Fudgy brownies I didn’t see what the point of the baking powder was anyway. Somebody will surely tell me but when I did some research I found every reason to believe that it was an unnecessary ingredient in this style of brownie. I will let you know how many of them are returned uneaten. These are the gluten-free brownies from the King Arthur flour site but I used a different gluten-free flour mix. It was Bob’s Red Mill. I also included a very large amount of dark Costa Rican chocolate and some black cocoa powder. But at least I didn’t claim I followed the recipe exactly. 😂

I am not laughing because I know she loves green beans so I’m wondering what it was about these ones that she decided not to eat them! Mind you after that breakfast it’s a miracle that she had any room for lunch. I don’t think I could’ve managed another meal.

These got thumbs up all around. They would’ve been eaten the same day but as I have noted, after a few days they became very crumbly.

After a few days I understand better what you were talking about. They were still tasty but they were now extremely crumbly probably the rice flour would have taking care of some of this “crumblingness”.

Would never have thought of that! Thanks.

Wow! And this is not even Texas!

Will get around to it shortly.

I will weigh one shortly in its shell.

Not quite what I was aiming for since I had set the timer for six minutes but better! Next time I might try 5 1/2 minutes. But I am over my fear of boiling duck eggs 😁 so thanks again @liuzhou Edited to add and many thanks to @Kerry Beal for bringing me duck eggs!
