If there is anything exciting to report I surely will. One of these days I have to get some pics uploaded to post here. What sites are you all using for that? I have Photobucket.

I really haven't posted anything here but photobucket seems to be popular. I have one of those lol

I had the most wonderful lunch today at a little mediteranean bistro!

The atmosphere was classy but still casual and comfortable. They set the tone with goegeous red table settings, cute candle holders and faint authentic music playing in the background.

The lighting was perfect, my waitress was a resfreshing burst of energy & the food was out of this world. I think I had a divine experience, similar to the ones from Eat pray love. THAT is exactly what I have tried to embrace and it's the type of life I want to continue living. Fresh food, lovely ambiance and the feeling as if you've been transported to an exotic destination.

I am still swooning. Okay so my lunch is pretty much the only thing I will be eating today because there was so much to choose from and I couldn't resist!

I started with a glass of water with extra lemon & then I had a pepsi with my main.

I shared two appetizers : Tyrokafteri Dip - a feta and roasted red pepper spread served with fresh warm pita bread & mythos mussels - steamed in greek beer, lemon and a fresh garlic cream

My entree was a lamb and spice stuffed grape leaf (just one) on the side of a chicken and chorizo whole wheat penne with bright fresh veggies, a spicy tomato sauce and manchego cheese.

I really didn't have any room for dessert BUT who can turn down herbal tea, deep fried cheesecake & baklava??

My friends are too kind to me.

That sounds wonderful!
I've heard of lots of deep fried things before, but never deep fried cheesecake

Was it amazing?

We started making Tiramisu in class today, and it will be finished next week. It was fun, and I think that I am really going to enjoy my Advanced Pastry class. It looks like we will be making mostly tortes, and European style desserts.

Greetings everybody! Not sure if there is a particular topic for discussion, but, I love reading and learning.
I have it on good authority than our very own, Sun made killer enchiladas that I saw a pic of and am dying for his recipe!
lemons ......aids in detoxing & digestion. High in vitamin C. Burns fat & accelerates weight loss.

I made a very good salad the other day that I had the recipe for. Shredded cabbage, chopped radishes, green onions, and chopped cilantro. the dressing was simply lemon juice, and olive oil. The cilantro really made it delicious .

Thing about cilantro, peeps either hate it or love it. I love it, strong taste, like rosemary.

Dante! Sup So Cal! We should go to a Lakers game sometime and I will just bring the Enchiladas! That's my team too

I will put together a recipe and post it. The thing about my cooking is that unless someone else is going to replicate it I have very little recorded these days. Mostly I am working up recipes for other people. Odd thing about that, I have been doing it for long enough that I can look at something and say..that looks like a 1/4 Cup and be pretty near accurate. That said, Enchiladas can be made quickly with roasted Chicken that gets pulled and shredded, warm tortillias, a simple sauce and some good cheese. Sometimes I like to add roasted chilis to the chicken or go off on a fusion and add roasted baby artichokes. It all depends on my mood.

So I will be sure to come back and post a recipe. I need to remember to keep track of all the recipes that we post in here so that we have some sort of archive.

As for thread topics, it seems that we just start them.

Curious has anyone made Pralines? I used two very different recipes and the results were night and day. Trying to decide which one I like best to mix into the fresh ice cream.
