  1. You are doing so incredibly well. In fact, you are one of those inspiring me to lose the AT. WE CAN DO THIS!!
  2. Smart girl! We bought them at a farmer's market when in the city over the weekend. They had been kept absolutely perfect in soil and sand in a cellar. They are so pretty on the plate!
  3. Pastry thankfully is one of the easiest things to make gluten free and taste like its counterpart. I find it rolls easier than gluten crust as it does not have that stretch. I make pastry in my food processor which is far faster than kneading it by hand. The last thing you want in pastry crust is to melt the cold butter bits! Handling the dough as little...
  4. I know. These pork shanks were calling to me - I never see them. So, when I did, they jumped right into my grocery cart! It was astonishing to see. And then the buttertarts - well, I'm going to housesit in the country for a week so thought I'd make my darling sweetheart something to remember me by. And Day 1 starts tomorrow. I absolutely MUST lost...
  5. This is too cute. Your creativity with these smileys is awesome. I must really get me some of those thingers! Thanks for making me laugh out loud!
  6. Irish, so happy for you about the oats! There just is no replacement. Quinoa flakes are alright but they are just not the same. Tonight: Pork Shanks Braised in White Wine with an Apple Cider Vanilla Reduction Pommes Anna Roast Baby Purple and Yellow Carrots with Miso Glaze Homemade Pecan Buttertarts
  7. I'm typing this from the aircraft - I'm almost there! Shucks...it was all a dream. Today was the same as yesterday at -34C and windchill making it -45C. Unless you have not been in -30 temps you have not experienced cold. Love the sounds of 80F and no humidity and "...darn nice kitchen". Does it have a KA stand mixer? A Vitamix?
  8. Who's up for offering me a temporary home until this winter is over in April? I'll cook! Supposed to get even colder tonight. At these temps it is dangerous to even walk half a block to get the mail! Blech. Am willing to fly but I dislike heat and humidity. Somewhere above freezing would be awesome! Takers?????
  9. Who wants to house swap? It is minus 30 but windchill is minus 45. And more snow. Did I say MINUS???
  10. Italian Pork Ragu (slowly simmered forever in red wine et. al.) Homemade Tagliatelle Roasted Shaved Brussels Sprouts with Pine Nut Butter And I am making some fudgey brownies for a neighbour who cleared out the driveway for us. Must save one for my sweet husband!
  11. Weird. I did not intend for this to appear in the square!
  12. Broccoli rabe most likely, if it is mostly stems. Making some Portuguese Pulled Pork, creamy coleslaw and roasted garlic mashed potatoes. Will have leftover chocolate pots de creme with toasted hazelnuts and cacao nibs.
  13. Tonight I made Creamy Shrimp and Grits with large stone ground grits. Sauce included thingers such as white wine, garlic, lemon juice, tomatoes, chipotles en adobo... For something green and relatively healthy (!) I added peas. And for dessert I made Chocolate Pots de Creme for my dear husband. Talk about decadent and truffle-like. Plus we had more...
  14. Sorta mish mash of yummies. Not the healthiest meal I have ever had... Homemade Gingerale - it is sooooooooooooooooooo good! I made some maple bacon chickpea candy that is surreal. Ooey gooey and wonderful. Deviled Eggs with bourbon and horseradish cream Homemade crackers with marinated feta (with sundried tomatoes, lemon zest, etc.)
  15. Oh, you poor dear girl. Isn't it funny how we try to remain optimistic and hopeful that something will work? Sometimes it does, sometimes it doesn't. And sometimes it may later on. Be well soon, K? We all need you!
  16. Love seeing all this lovin' here! Tonight we're having part of Fish and Chips - I am making a yummy crispy chip batter (not frying but baking) and homemade tartar sauce with scores of capers. Oh, and mushy peas. But no fries or onion rings. Instead we are having a simple classic Caesar salad (with homemade dressing of course). So, I suppose we...
  17. Good evening, all! Count me as present. I posted the following twice but as it did not show up, am attempting again. I made: Velveted Kung Pao Chicken Mung Bean Noodles Strawberries with thick, syrupy, authentic aceto balsamico tradizionale de Modena We were going to have a lovely spicy Japanese cucumber salad but we got sorta busy.
  18. Baked Pretzel-Crusted Chicken Breasts (first marinated in a whole grainy mustard/red wine vinegar, etc. thinger) Baby Herbed Hasselback Potatoes wth Fleur de Sel Radishes in Homemade Chili Oil
  19. Buttery Herbed Baby Hasselback Potatoes with Smoked Maldon Sea Salt Swedish Meatballs with Lingonberry Gastrique Garlic Roasted Swiss Chard Homemade gluten-free Herbed Crackers with Syrian dip (see yesterday's explanation)
  20. Ah...I missed the high antihistamine foods thingers. For some reason for about a week I have not been receiving notifications of posts of those I am following so find I am missing a lot of stuff. Haven't had the time (or more accurately, haven't MADE the time) to look into this issue more (I posted about it on another thread already).
  21. Hodge podging it tonight. This morning I made yummy crispy Herbes de Provence crackers that I sprinkled with Maldon sea salt. Then I made a Syrian roasted red pepper, pomegranate molasses, ground toasted almonds, etc. dip. So, am having that with encore Sriracha lime chicken wings thingers. Throwing in some celery and carrot sticks. How's that for an...
  22. Bacon is SOOOOO last year and overrated. Sorry - I have a hard time lying. When do you get to have bacon? Did I miss something?
  23. More ribs like last night. They were such a hit I am making another batch. Soooo sticky, tender (fell off the bones), juicy and luscious. But instead of oven fries we will have navy beans simply dressed with green EVOO (sorry - I hate that acronym but it comes in handy) and sprinkled with one of our 20+ finishing salts on crostini, fresh greens with a...
  24. I LOVE Bavaria! Talk about a stunning region. It is so weird how the ice is on the inside of our windows that are double, too. But it gets in every single tiny little crack and really takes hold. Sometimes our windows have thick ice on the bottom and are very frosty (akin to scraping off a vehicle frosty) the rest of the way up. Sometimes we literally...
