Same here, ninakk, except for the fresh tomatoes which I've never tried. I might try that today. I'm not too keen on the small pickled onions, but I absolutely love the cornichons (mini cucumbers).

Liag: I find those oil sprays always seem to clog up after a bit...
The muffins never made it to the cake sale, ah well *rubs tummy*. the cakes being sold were all covered in icing and other junk, mine wouldn't have sold anyway! Tonight I'm eating all the vegetables that dh doesn't like :)Posted 3 months ago # -
The one I use, though, is one you fill yourself. It hasn't yet clogged.

lottielot: I have bookmarked the muffins recipe, will try it when I get an urge to bake (which rarely happens, admittedly, but who knows...)
The raclette was OK, but I think I will have to look around a bit for more interesting raclette cheese. This one didn't taste (or smell) very much. I also overestimated the quantity of potatoes needed, but that's fine, they will go in an omelette tomorrow.

As I write this, I'm attempting to make some fish broth as the base for a Hungarian cabbage soup that I had in a restaurant over 30 years ago.
So far, I've purchased some whole frozen perch; put one of the fish in a pot of water with a bay leaf, thyme, celery salt, onion and carrot; and, as the fish cooked, removed a few chunks to feed the horde of cats that was hovering nearby and mewing excitedly. The broken-up fish is now simmering in the broth and will be strained in an hour or so.
Still to come: Hot peppers, cabbage, garlic and maybe some jerk seasoning just in case.

@Astreja - Good luck! I'll sometimes try to replicate "long lost dishes" from restaurants that have either closed or are too far away to visit. I'm not usually successful in the replication, but sometimes I end up with a semi-improvisational dish that I like in a different way.

got some chicken stock simmmering on the stove, and it smells incredible. My idea is to drink it as a broth rather than making a true stock. I've got ginger in there. Yummy.
tried my hand tonight at a homemade teriyaki sauce. DH forgot to pick some up today and through the glorious magic that is google I found a ton of easy recipes with ingredients we have on hand, and the best thing is I can replace the sugar with sweetener for fewer calories and carbs.
It's teriyaki chicken wraps for dinner. I am getting hungry.

That sounds yummy, djk!
I ate dinner early and have had a vegetable binge. Made parsnip and apple fritters for the freezer, bet the kids don't eat them but ds2 may as he likes both ingredients. God I hate fussy kids! Then I boiled some beetroot to stash in the freezer, thanks to pkilmain for the tip. And I made for dinner tonight roasted vegetables with spring greens and Puy lentils with lemon juice and little bits of feta cheese. Bit full now, yummy though!Posted 3 months ago # -
Had broiled sirloin steak for dinner, with diet Coke.
Filet Mignon with Red Wine Sauce
http://simplyrecipes.com/recipes/filet_mignon_with_red_wine_sauce/?utm_source=feedburner&utm_medium=feed&utm_campaign=Feed%3A+elise%2Fsimplyrecipes+%28Simply+Recipes%29These Ling Ling Potstickers from the frozen section of COSTCO are very delicious. I got a bag today and will have some maybe tomorrow or later in the week and use the red vinegar and chile/garlic paste I just picked up yesterday. I have some rotisserie chicken soup stock with chunks of turnip which I'll use to boil the potstickers in and make a sort of potsticker/wonton soup. I'm used to the pork ones, but there were only chicken ones today so I'll try them out. Anything goes well with the red vinegar and chile/garlic paste. Actually, I like the sauce best of all. It's the main reason I like dim sum ;)
http://www.ling-ling.com/products/potstickers/Also very delicious from Costco (if you like sweet sesame seed asian dressing) - great for Chinese chicken salad or a pasta salad - use this instead of italian dressing and let it sit overnight - yum!:
And the best teriyaki sauce, also from Costco, Yoshida brand:
There you have it, all the secrets of [my] good cooking ...

Just had to update and let our Down Under friends know I did the pavlova! And it was fabulous. http://www.ombailamos.com
Posted 3 months ago # -
omg chacha, that pav looks perfect!
i bet they all fell upon it with glad cries!i experimented yesterday with some lacto fermentation.
i made nut cheese.
i have just removed the cover and put it in the fridge.....it has had about 16 hours to get moving and it has puffed up like an airy sourdough.
i used macadamias and cashews, some kimchi and juice (as my live starter), a couple sheets of nori (to feed minerals to the starter), a couple handfuls of shredded coconut ( unsweetened, to provide some cheesy body to the mix).
this weird combination of ingredients has made a tangy cheesy spreadable cheese with a really delicious flavour.
i like eating dulse flakes on a fresh young coconut, so maybe i am already tuned to the coconut seaweed lavour.
anyway, it is nice to add something to my raw vegan repertoire.Posted 3 months ago # -
Chacha- that looks super fab, tell me, how do you eat it?
Cut with a knife, break off pieces, or how exactly?Posted 3 months ago # -
Decluttered some filipino coconut square thingy into a sort of halo halo frozen dessert. Mine looks just white but here's a picture of a magnificent looking version with ube ice cream an all! I've yet to try ube ice cream - it's on the bucket list though.

i ate a halo-halo that looked exactly like that photo in the philippines one time.
it was delicious.
i had great plans to duplicate it at home, so i lugged an ice shaver all the way home, via hong kong.
of course it was one of my very first decluttering items a couple of years later!Posted 3 months ago # -
Beautiful, colorful creations.

@irishbell, we sliced it like a pizza (but with a long chef's knife) and it served up beautifully to eat with a fork. The base was nearly an inch thick, crispy on top and bottom with marshmallowy meringue inside. DH said he could have eaten the whole thing the first night. :-)
@bandicoot - thanks! yes, there were some glad cries. Our Aussie friends had not had one ever in the U.S.
