They don't belong anywhere! LOL. I haven't seen the show in a really long time. I only remember little bits of their personalities and that they all loved cheesecake. Betty white could totally play the superbowl though. She'd take a whole team down.

I love apples with peanut butter . Everyone goes for the caramel but I only will do that if it's caramel apples for a seasonal snack.

Nutella is pretty nice too!

Normally I eat quite healthy also. Even when I make desserts that aren't "healthy" I always try to cut the fat content down and the sugars. I use low fat cream cheese for example and replace butter with olive oil sometimes etc.

Never been able to bring myself to eat a froggy leg. Gribbit!

Have ya ever had suet dumplings atop stewed steak (or steak and kidney) in velvety meaty gravy? They have a brown crispy top with an unctuous, deceptively pillowy, gravy laden underbelly. Fabulous with either crispy roast potatoes or soft, buttery mash.

Nostalgia night for it seems

Hello everyone!

I just stumbled across the description for this herb, and I'd love to get hold of some seeds, as a couple of things caught my eye: "Cilantro on steroids" and "Does not bolt in Summer like Cilantro" - this sounds absolutely awesome to me
Papalo / Quilquiña / Papaloquelite

A quick Google didn't bring up anything available in Australia - has anyone heard of this wonderful sounding herb? It's Mexican.

Hiya KC and welcome to the delicious thread!

I am also a fan of a good crisp apple. For many years I would have outings up to Apple Hill (El Dorado County Foothills) and it was so much fun. There are something like 20 apple farms and several have huge kitchens and bakeries churning out pies, fritters, apple butter, apple sauce, more pies..it was insane. And really fun.

Speaking of natural peanut butter, I need to find a new source because I was using Whole Foods for natural nut butters but those days are over. I cant support the corporate greed from another company that refuses health care to employee's especially when they are dealing with food.

Yes. I am very close to Mexico and can likely get you some seeds. Shall I? Will we be breaking some international agri code when I mail these to you? Will my package get confiscated in customs?

All the more reason to try

Let me look into this I will check with Chef Silvana and see what she suggests.

Recon seed mission.

Ah luvz it.

Happy Monday Delicioustarians,

Today is Martin Luther King Jr Day here in the states.

I am very aware today of how many in our nation are living within the poverty lines and how Rev King was very concerned about poverty and worked hard to raise awareness of such.

It troubles me on a deep level that so many are having difficulty putting food on the table in a nation that is so rich in so many ways. We have more than enough food here to make sure that all have enough to eat.

It troubles me also, that more than 50% of all homeless people in this nation are children.

So while we talk about food and all of the privilege of simply being able to eat a diversity of foods, I am always mindful of those who may go hungry today. I do my part in my community and volunteer at the local food bank, I have always donated food and solicited my vendors for food donations especially at holiday time, but the work is never done.

What I would love to see would be more people sharing a meal with a friend, neighbor, or dropping off a meal, even a cup of soup, to someone who may be hungry. Those little steps in kindness mean so much.

Have a beautiful day everyone.

I always have that in the back of my mind as well. Without going into personal detail, there have been times when I had to rely on the little I had and food banks to fill in the gaps. I've been very fortunate in my attempts to live within my means. Not everyone has the same privilege.

I always try to share what I have. I have volunteered in LGBT food banks, held corn boils and community meals when I was backpacking and met another group of artists or people who didn't have a lot. We lived on what we grew and what we could afford - which usually meant stretching it as far as possible.

The number of homeless and those affected by poverty is absolutely numbing if you really take the time to think about it. Not everyone really understands how differently things are in those circumstances. Some people do a great job at hiding it.

I think it would be wonderful to pay it forward all of the time. Not just when you have "extra" but stopping for a minute and thinking about sharing what you have already. When I think about humanity, I think about that concept. I know people need to worry about themselves and their family first , but we are all connected and I feel that offering to buy someone a coffee or a warm meal is no different than taking care of "your own".

I think that's one of those qualities that I truly respect with my friends and it's something I have grown to appreciate more and more.

This is such a great thread - we touch on so many subjects. I am just throwing it out there, I've had to get creative over my years for diversity in food. You would be surprised with what you can actually do with some spices and a box of Kraft dinner. I like working with leftovers. Maybe it would be nice to share some recipes that we like to make just from whatever we have in the cupboards?

Great ideas TMF, you could develop a website concept in cooking from the pantry, whatever is on hand. Smart and timely.

Friends of mine are opening a new "Free Clinic" downtown and today they are painting it. Getting closer to opening. I want to help but was unsure what I could do. The director, a friend, just got back to me as I asked if they needed coffee. Because really, God forbid that my friends should do anything with no coffee resources. You see the theme evolving, I am sure.

Anyway the Director told me that they do not have coffee or a coffee pot and in fact they kitchen is a shell and they left that for last.

So guess what? New project! Someone needs to stop me from taking on volunteer work because as it is I wind up working until midnight some nights getting deadlines met in addition to my regular work.

Truly this is a great project and will serve a very under served population including migrant workers who are trying to get citizenship but are in the red tape loop and cant get basic health services for themselves or their children. Seeing a child suffer with a cold and the look on the Mothers face when she has no resources is one of the worst feelings ever and its just not ok.

Some folks have asked me how they funded this free clinic model and I have no idea but will find out and report back if anyone is interested.

Have a great day all.

I made pancakes from scratch with powdered sugar. Mmmmm.

A girl has to eat! :-P

Hi.

So earlier I had started to write something and the darn connection went.

So instead of looking through 8 pages of things I've missed and comments I wanted to make of others, I am just doing a quick recap.

Ursy: I know of the seeds.
KC: I love apples and PB, I think they are a great brain jolt protein snack. Have you ever tried Ambrosia apples?
Sun: I think cheese day should be every day. Though since yesterday was National Cheese day, I made some cheesy (sharp cheddar) green chili chicken enchiladas. Had some friends over and chowed down.
Dante: Hi.

I will probably be MIA for another week, I have been super busy crazy with classes and I was looking up to see how many more days I have, and its only 53 days. I just can't believe it. Seriously.

Today's study break included: cara care orange, triscuits, and extra sharp white cheddar (the kind that has crystals in it). MMM.

Well back to study... test tomorrow, final thursday. See ya'll later.

Eat good. be Happy.
