Something Delicious

"Can I ask what makes a cider 'hard'. Nad, you mention Strongbow, is that really 'hard' cider. It's a brand that's been made here since 1962 (I thought it was much older) here. Having just googled Bulmer (the maker of Strongbow) I find that what you lot might consider 'hard' is actually just 'dry'. Is that so?"

Um, to my mind, a 'hard cider' contains alcohol. That is basically what it means, here in the States, at least to my knowledge.

I would love to make my own! Has anyone ever succeeded?

Tonight I am going to try a spicy thai chicken and veggie stirfry! I can't decide if I want it over rice or rice noodles.

Tomorrow, or later tonight we'll be making General Tso chicken from scratch, with Jasmine rise.
Off to the store!

Question: does anyone use Red Panax Ginseng root for a health tonic?

Ok we all have 2 days to figure out this big National event! Ok now we are going to make it International and Trans Continental. Ha. Love the word play. Truly.

I may have to knock out my Creamy Polenta with Grilled Shitake Mushrooms and Blue Cheese. It is such a great opportunity to shop for cheese and crack open a really amazing Cabernet.

Or maybe Cappellini with sun dried tomatoes, baby artichoke and Feta.

Or...Mushroom Risotto....with really good shaved Locatelli Romano...

Then again I can make some fresh Mozzerella...

Absolutely no idea what I am going to do.

None.

I don't have any ideas either BUT two days is a fair bit of time to get the ball rolling. At least I can pretend it is? Do you provide samples for all of these dishes? LOL!

I am thinking I would like to use some queso fresco or smoked gouda. Fresh mozzarella would be perfect for a thin crust mushroom pizza I have been dying to make!

If you make a 4 cheese mac n cheese you can use cheeses from 4 continents, add some slow smoke ribs n slaw, and beer battered onion rings n you have a party. Better yet use a local IPA with the batter and serve another local IPA with the dinner.
