It looks pretty to me! That is one of my favourite "I need something but have no energy" meals. Another iteration that I like is a sweet potato with baked beans.

I love black cod, will have to try it with a miso glaze.

No such thing as fresh passionfruit in our little town but I can buy frozen pulp in a Mexican place nearby.

I love anything passiond fruit but would never ahve thought to pair it with oysters! I can "taste in my mind" the combonation and I like it!

Definitely going to try this and thanks for the tip on doubling the sauce. We call my youngest sister Double Saucy. She loves to cook and eat but automatically doubles or triples the sauce and in restaurant always, always asks for double sauce.

That looks fabulous! What did you think of it?

Thanks Liuzhou

We use paper plates when camping - uses less water and we burn them in the fire. We also use a dishpan in the sink and since it is just grey water, we can toss it and not fill up our holding tank.

I'm sure this is inaproriate now but back in the day we made Purple J*sus. Every kind of booze and some mix and a couple of cans of frozen juice and some fruit, all mixed up in a kitchen sink and enjoyed byy all.

That was basiclly my plan but with pork, rather than beef

Wow - that has me salivating! Will definitely save this for Dungeness season. My husband and a buddy regularly set traps for Dungeness and often come home with their limit. I may be biased but I think it is the best tastting crab.

I searched and couldn't find such a topic. We have recently subscribed to OddBox - which is similar to Misfits so occaisonally I get things unfamiliar to me but I love the challenge. Last box, I got "Seafood Mushrooms." They look like enoki mushrooms on steroids - they are about 8" tall. Google tells me that some people say they taste like shrimp or lobster and that's fine with me. I was planning to add them to a stir fry tonight. Have you ever had them and/or how were they cooked? If there is a more suitable topic within to post this, please advise me.

I love chili crisp and put it on lots of things, my husband likes it too but swears he can smell it in the house for days after it is used.

What a huge, eclectic menu!

I could see it being a fun one-time thing to do with young kids, but I would do it on a picnic table outside - not in my house!

I did a 7-11 shift at the hospital (volunteering) this morning and was starving when I came home. Quick and easy - toasted cinnamon raisin bread with old/sharp cheddar. Hit the spot. Now I just have to figure out what happened to the 4 servings of jambalaya that I froze on New Years Day. My husband and I have both looked and cant find it but I KNOW it's in there. After some lunch, I will have another look!

That looks and sounds delicious to me. Was that your main? I would be happy with that as a main - my husband would say "where's the meat?"😉

Me too if cooking for others - better safe than sorry and thankfully potatoes are cheap!

I also use evaporated milk for mac and cheese which also freezes and thaws successfully. I keep it on hand because we don't drink milk so I rarely have it in the house unless we are on a cereal kick.

Easy and delicious is a great combination.

When I've seen this type of sandwich, I always wonder if one actually eats them like a sandwich or are they dismantled and eaten with a knife and fork?

I freeze homemade quiche fairly often. I use evaporated milk and have never had a problem with seepage.

I wish I could have made something that my Dad would have enjoyed in his last few months for a final feast. I made him date squares regularly toward the end because his favourite breakfast was a date square and a cup of coffee. We paid a ridiculous amount of money for his food at the extended care home and he hated all of it. After several phone calls from the dietician at the home, she was concerned that he wasn't eating his meals, only wanted sweets. I finally told her - he is 95 years old with a finite amount of time - so let him eat desserts all day if that's what he wants. I mean for FS - do you think that forcing him to eat vegetables at this point is going to make a diffrence??????

Born and raised in BC and we always called them napkins. Another BC/SK difference was "dainties." I grew up with that as a euphanism for underware but in SK, it refers to what we would call squares or bars or sweet treats brought to a gathering.

My Mom and Dad were married in 1956 and went to the Seattle World's fair in 1962. I would have been two at the time and I guess it was a little getaway for them while my Mom's parent's babysat me. Anyway - my Mom convinced my Dad to try "pizzaa pie." Dad said that it was nothing like pie and he didn't try it again til 10 years later. He was a pizza fan for the rest of his life.
