Hi Trev! Welcome to the thread!

There is a place close by that I LOVE for fish tacos. They cut mahi mahi really thick and narrow, then grill it over mesquite charcoal. Then the put it into a freshly made corn tortilla (they also have a bakery on site) top it with shredded cabbage and cotija cheese and a little crema. I add salsa verde and some jalepanos. It is one of my go-to fast foods. Love it and it costs $2

Yes the texture is very cool! Usually it takes a few cooking adventures to get the texture right where you want it.

What kind of crock pot do you have?

I agree about cooking spray. I use Winona Pure sunflower oil spray, which doesn't have all the nasty chemicals of Pam, but I still always cover my nose with a kitchen towel when I spray it so I don't breathe it in

Love it. At the place that I worked at this summer, we made a Jicama Slaw. It was crazy good. Just shred the Jicama on a mandoline, a little thinner than matchsticks. Do the same with carrots. Soak the Jicama in cold water for an hour or two first then rinse. Then dress it with rice vinegar, water, sugar or honey, cilantro and lime juice. You can add a little olive oil if you want. Let it marinate for a day. Tweak it and make it your own!

Ok I just had a cookie that tastes like shortbread and is round. It has lemon in it. It is iced with lemon sugar icing. It is insanely good. Does anyone know what this cookie is called?

All I have is Lemon Drop Cookies: http://www.crisco.com/Recipes/Detail...peID=976&loc=7

Do you know what kind of cookie it is? (I mean drop, roll, press)?

And I think I would need said cookie myself to make a final decision

Thank you! The cookie could be a rolled, cut version of the one in your link. The icing was almost clear and packed a punch of lemon. Real lemon. I can usually identify a cookie but this had me stumped.

LOL..you need a sample to deconstruct it huh? Ah the sign of a good baker!

Either the sign of a good baker, or a world class cookie eater

Not sure what kind of crock pot it is because I am not at home. But I will check and let you know. Seems that most crock pots have a ceramic glazed pot no?

I prefer stainless steel for cooking unless it is a ceramic dutch oven or baking dish. Depends on what I am cooking. Good tip on the sunflower oil spray!

I could give you a run for your money on the cookie eating.

Ice cream too.

Oh, I tremble in fear (not). Chocolate, cookies, cake-wish I could say I eat healthy 100%

And don't get me started on chips.

BTW, cookie monster, have you ever tried those crock pot liners? Makes cleanup so much easier and without a spray.

Thank you Sun! Maybe one day I'll get the gumption to try a fish taco, but I'm liking the other ideas so far for burrito fillings. Everything sounds wonderful, especially eating cookies just to find out what kind they are

LMAO..omg too funny, no I have not tried crock pot liners.

I wish I could be a cookie monster but I have to be careful with the sweets. If I look at them for too long I gain weight. Practicing restraint was never my thing.

Trev we have some good cooks posting in here. Lots of good stuff.
There are many more good cooks on the Planet that I am aware of. Just hope that they all make their way over here.

I think I am going to have to go find another cookie so that I can figure out what it is. lol

Talking about burritos and fillings-- thinking we may just have this sometime during the week. My favourite is--

carrots (chopped smaller pieces)
yellow onion (chopped smaller pieces)
zuchinni (1/4 pieces (smaller) pieces)
brocolli (smaller pieces, chopped)
black beans, whole, removed fluid
shredded chicken breast/thigh
olive oil
cumin, to taste
salt/pepper
whole wheat/spelt tortillas
grated cheese
favourite salsa

take veggies saute with olive oil, s/p, cumin -- add beans, cook til heated. Add chicken to a flat tortilla, spoon over veggie mixture, add cheese, fold up, add salsa to top and eat. makes some awesome leftovers--

enjoy!!

Well, me too, actually. At my age, I just can't eat an entire bag like I used to. I think I've gained weight just posting on this thread.

I read somewhere that reaching a goal of 80% good-20% "treats" is pretty good; 90-10 is better. So many yummies in this thread that maybe I can change my habits

But... where is the avocado? I'll swap my chicken out for avocado and place an order please!

With Pete's help, I made a delicious meal last night.

We made quarts of sofrito from scratch on Friday night and

I froze most of it but I used a generous cup in a pot of pink beans, and

I used a generous cup in a pot of bacalao.

We had white rice and yuca con mojo too, yum yum.
