    Cheese Fondue

    I didn’t use Spam, I used actual ham. I bought spam as an experiment.

    Cheese Fondue

    Thanks for not being snarky. But even mentioning you have to abstain from being so is, actually, snarky. I can’t cook and I don’t try to because I mess up 70% of the time and despite being fortunate enough to make mistakes, it really upsets me to waste food. I did make cheese fondue tonight and we had crusty Italian bread, baby potatoes, mushrooms, carrots and yes, ham— not spam. My husband and I enjoyed it and that’s all that matters to me. I wasn’t being an asshole by asking about spam. I bought it and my thought process was ham and cheese go together. This is why why I don’t post here often. Lesson learned.

    Would spam be a good dipper in cheese fondue?
  4. Unfortunately, Trader Joes shut down Instacart from being accessible. This happened a while ago. Currently in Northern NJ, I can get Wegmans’s, Acme, Kings, CVS, Aldi’s (despite never having been to one— the new store is 8 miles away and inconvenient) and Costco. I almost exclusively use Wegmans as it’s a bitch to get to. Kings is very close to me. Wegmans also is the only establishment to consistently offer both pictures of the products and their ingredients and cooking instructions. I paid the $139 ( I think that was the cost) for the “free” annual delivery. It doesn’t eliminate all the fees. That said, it’s available where we vacation for two weeks and that was definitely appreciated. I find if you have a cellphone and keep on top of the app, you can get whatever you want in terms of substitutions and/ or last minute requests. Which I find super helpful. I probably wouldn’t use the service without a cell phone or at least an iPad but to be fair, I keep my iPhone within reaching distance 24/7.

    Dinner 2018

    Where were they from? It’s common to see orange colored oranges at least on my experience. My inlaws have them all over their yard in Northern CA. They’re treated the same as all the landscaping.

    Details please!
  7. Another doozy C/O United. I ate the salad. And then I remembered the romaine recall and really hope I don’t get sick.
  8. Thanks for the info and pictures! EWR is my “Home” airport so I will definitely check the new lounge out. Your DH’s meal looks really good too.
  9. Agreed— his recipe is popular and doesn’t seem overwhelmingly complex. If I had the guts to try making Beef Wellington, I’d use his recipe.
  10. I just gave it to the dog. I’ve always been stubborn and won’t eat anything I don’t like. On topic, what arrondissement are you in? I may be going to Paris in December and you look to be in the heart of the city! Enjoy!

    stone crabs

    Had anyone bought stone crabs online? If so can you share your experience please. Do they come frozen or do they need to be consumed when delivered?
  13. It looks nice but very minimalistic from my American point of view. Double ovens and excess of amenities were big factors for me.
  14. i didn’t find it too salty, more like aggressively seasoned. Certain spices just don’t sit well with me— it’s just a personal thing. The scallops and froze at 1609 were great. We enjoyed most of our meals!
  15. I didn’t enjoy the good much at Marcus’s. I found it aggressively spiced. The crab spaghetti wasn’t on the menu when I was there. I did like their burger.
  16. Is the business yours? I haven’t been to Worcester in a long time but when I was there after dark, I didn’t personally feel safe. I hope that’s changed.

    Dinner 2018

    I split a large movie theater popcorn with my husband while seeing “A Simple Favor”. The movie was good, the popcorn was good in a sickening way. I came home and ate a cucumber to cleanse my not so sophisticated palate.
  18. Any chance you need a guest who doesn’t mind doing dishes? ☺️
  19. It’s been nasty in the NYC tri-state area this summer. I’ve gone nuts trying to get the dog inside— ironically she’s very casual about storms which most dogs aren’t.
  20. God. Too much. I am appalled that we moved into our home three years ago with things that expired before then. I have been on a binge throwing out OTC meds and canned goods.
