Well if Pepperidge Farms says so, who am I to question...

I would eat that grilled cheese in a heartbeat. Actually might prefer WW to white bread. Call me with leftovers. Editied to ask, what is the catsup looking stuff? Don't contaminate my grilled cheese with anything...well, maybe green chile salsa, but I never have.

There must be a pretty good back story to these unusual plates?

An aside...we agreed to take friends along on a visit to France. I took them to all of our top food sites. At Iberico Iberico, I instructed them to go in, sample and buy a small amount. The husband pole-vaulted back out the door, red faced, and screamed at me, "Do you know how expensive that ham is?" Barely able to speak to him, I responded, "Do you know that shrouds have no pockets?"

And a lot of these super-expensive super-flavorful products carry enough bomb to satisfy in small quantities. Okay, your mileage may vary...

My mother, my husband. Not so much large quantities but snatching pieces while you're prepping potatoes for something else.

Lunch in Lodi (CA) at La Morentia Taco Truck Two cabeza tacos = two tortillas each, lots of meat so I split them up -> "4" tacos DH ordered Pastor tostado = big and fresh And a large (pint+) aqua pepinos = cucumber water, very good A table in the shade and a total tab of $10.

I am ALWAYS hungry for mashed potatoes and gravy. D-I.L. had told me none of the three children liked potato. None would touch it in any form. I served them mashed potato with roast chicken gravy and we soon ran out of both potato AND gravy.

Following Judy Rogers, I stuff salt and thyme under the breast and thigh skin, then refrigerate overnight, sear stovetop then roast 50-60 min at 450F Juicy, flavorful

OH, YES! One of my earliest adult food epiphany was a grilled spinach and mozzarella sandwich on spinach bread, in Rome, and at breakfast. Standard and cheap at stand up bars, it was my regular order. I seem to have forgotten them. Thank you SO MUCH for putting them back in my repertoire. SO GOOD!

Framable art photos. Absolutely lovely

I started noticing these after adorable Pati brought them to my attention. Sold in half pint containers at a Panaderia stall. Today, wild spinach. Maybe next week, roast crickets?

Market dinner. Started out very nutritious, then got "fried". So-called, and never tried before, "wild spinach" Starter of cheese stuffed squash blossoms with avocado salsa Above spinach, really good, fried green tomatoes with tartar sauce, famous eG shrimp/corn/tarragon

DH sneaked this one into the refrigerator "gallery"

Far less messy than this version that is dusted with powdered sugar! 😟

Our (Laney College) market had one item not on your list. Roasted crickets. Did not buy any, but they are very popular.

It certainly works for us. Today's loot Pink Ralph Loren Polo tennis shoes, maybe worn once, $1 and very chic designer dress, both for grand-daughter, also close to new, $7 Squash blossoms, purslane, cilantro, English peas, wild spinach (was told by a favorite Latino produce guy). green tomatoes (yes, green, not tomatillos), pasilla peppers...for me.

Aw, shucks...

Fresh mozzarella with radishes and purslane Chicken thighs and potatoes casalinga i.e., sauteed in olive oil with rosemary and onion, plated with sauteed zucchini

Well it looks great! I am as impressed with your getting it out of the bundt pan successfully as I am with your story of its recalcitrant creation.

Mmmmmmmm....homemade lardo!

er., re above questions, can one roast a chicken or bake bread in a CCSO...and then send the machine back? 😟

Any experience with savory Chinese steamed custard ? I assume it was be same technique.
