I don't have a juicer and would love one. Fresh juice hmmmmmmm! There's a deal on with Groupon Malaysia for a juicer, it would be around $65.00. If anyone can give me feedback I'd really appreciate it

That's so funny, I was only saying to Kris a few hours ago that we should get a juicer!

Kiwi, I am trying to think of what all goes in those soups... They turn out a little different every time, because I really do not have a recipe for them.

Sausage and Cilantro Soup
I start with chicken stalk, bringing it to a boil I drop in a pound of sausage pinched off into small bits. As that gets close to done I add a small handful of noodles, usually shell pasta. As it gets close to finished I add frozen corn, and chopped cilantro. Use salt and pepper to taste. I have also added chopped red pepper to this from time to time.

Zucchini Chicken Soup
This is much like a stew only I use zucchini instead of potatoes. The zucchini falls apart and thickens the stalk. I add chicken, and other vegetables that sound appetizing. Season with whatever tickles my pallet... sometimes simple salt, pepper, and garlic... but I have been more adventurous as well using cumin or even turmeric.

Pumpkin Curry Soup
At Halloween I like to use the bits of pumpkin the kids carve out of their jack-o-lanterns, but carving pumpkins are very watery so they don't tend to make good pies unless you first freeze and then drain off the water. So I make soup instead. Bake the pumpkin and then take it off the skins, throw it in the blender with a bit of garlic, a can of coconut milk, and some spices. This year I used curry and turmeric. I served it hot then with some bread, and had the left overs cold the next day. It was excellent both ways. I have also made this using acorn squash.

Jenn I am not a big fan of pumpkin but the soup looks great.

Today I learned that one of my dearest friends is getting married in July. While we were chatting on the phone she asked me if I would be interested in catering her wedding. Of course I said yes. They are going to do an outdoor event. Cant wait. It is special events such as this that really make cooking fun. Now I cant wait to plan the menu with them. This will be my first Butch Femme wedding to cater. Bring it on Marriage Equality! I will have to get her to drop into this thread and chat about food with us.

I am so cold today that it is truly bizarre. Well, I am not a cold weather person, hence the chosen name.

What are yall cooking or eating today?

If I ever have a wedding, I would gladly offer my catering to be done by you and a couple of others who post quite a bit on this thread. It would probably be outside, someplace warm or at the very least someplace green friendly.
For breakfast I had cereal with soy milk. Lunch was a Thai chicken salad with mandarin orange pieces & for supper I'm trying to get out of the fried bologne sandwich on white bread my husband has apparently made for me.

Thai Chicken salad sounds great. Experiment with a soup!

Welcome to the Delicious thread! You are now a Delicioustarian. girl dee made that one up. Love it.

Split pea soup would be awesome right now. I really should have made some because I had a big ole maple sugar cured smoked ham bone left over from Christmas. Looking forward to getting back to my normal way of life and actually cooking at home again!

Do you have any of your Mom's split pea soup tips to share?

I dont think that I ever had Goulash.

Unfortunately for me, yes. If it's your thing I don't mean to sound snobby. but the idea of fried processed bologne, white bread and an inch of ketchup isn't my prime meal of choice.

Welcome Greyson,

The thing that I find about childhood foods is that many of us cling to them for life. That could be a potato chip, slice of bologna, peanut butter, tamale, pasta, rice with soy sauce, hot dogs, mac n cheese, ..you get the picture. Those early foods make an impression on us. I recall being very young and watching my Mom open a can of Spam. I had never seen this before. She told me something about how when she was young she was fed this and she liked to fry it and have it with eggs once in a while. Well once in a while meant like once a year. Never thought a thing about it until Spam became the name for garbage that we want to throw out online. Then I tool a closer look and saw that my immigrant family living in NYC after WWII had to struggle for a to put food on the table so some of those cheaper meat related products (not sure how to classify Spam!) were helpful.

Funny thing is that one of my buddies is from Austria and they love a good "cold cut" such as bologna or liverwurst, great dried sausages and so on. In Europe folks use the scraps of meats and fat to make sausages or pate's, terrines, or gallantines. Nothing really gets wasted. Bones and gristle become stock.

For me there is not much difference between bologna and a pate'. Both seem to be consumed with a white flour bread product. Interesting huh?

Looks good to me. Make sure it has at least a one year warranty. The motors can work hard if you juice often. Take it from me as I have burned a few out.

I can tell you, the best juicer on the market is the Green Star. My employer has one and I LOVE to use it! It makes nut butters also as well as these organic multi-grain pretzels that are amazingly tasty...and healthy. I know from what he has told me, the twin gear method of the Green Star is better than the threshing method that most others use. (As mine does). I know that the pulp left over from juicing with his juicer is MUCH finer than with mine (mine pretty much has big chunks of veggies..

) I aspire to get a Green Star at some point, but they are pricey. He paid 400 for his, but they go up to 500. Well worth the investment if you're going to juice regularly. I think he said it can even make soy milks, but he has a different gadget altogether for that... Hope this helped some
