You can always fill out the survey several times.

*Laughs* That's a great idea!! I am sure now and then my answers would at least make someone crack a smile.

I have been thinking about the "who would you like to cook for you" question. My automatic response went to "you must mean people outside of this thread, right?"

Where are all of you readers?

Post something!!

You folks all eat yes?

Come on people!!

HOLA !

ahhh the Farmer's Market. I still need to go to a few of these in my area! Maybe as the weather gets warmer and I get settled back down in life. There is also one or two grocery places that cater to fruits and veggies from the farmer so I need to check that out also!

So this got me wondering, what makes great bbq?

What do you all think?

Also what are some of your favorites for side dishes?

Speaking of BBQ one of my fav places is Famous Daves! Check it out! ooh ummm http://www.famousdaves.com/menu

A great bbq for me is moist meat. . and definitely sauce! Love sauce and the spicier the better! They have one called Devil's spit. holy hot damnnn. LOL sooo good! I think I like pork more than beef when it comes to BBQ.

I've also had some pretty good BBQ in KC Missouri.

As for sides I'm always thinking baked beans with bacon in them and coleslaw. French fries and mac and cheese are good too! and corn bread!

Just shared a big Carrot Cake cupcake from Costco with my dog ! OMG it was so good !

What does everyone have cooking today?

I made a giant breakfast this morning with a piece of french toast, a fruit yogurt parfait, home fries grilled with onion, mushroom and pepper, sausage and one egg over medium.

I also had morning blend tea.

I am trying to decide what I will have for lunch, now.

TheMerryFairy · 03-11-2013, 02:59 PM

What is everyone eating today???

I have eaten very well so far today and I haven't even gotten to the icing on the cake yet!!!!!

For breakfast I stopped at a local coffee shop where I was bought TWO cups of deliciousness to start my day. The first was a chai latte and the second was a hazelnut caramel espresso macchiato. THAT kickstarted my energy, if I wasn't already alert. THEN I was surprised with gifts, homemade baked goods and really cool balloons so I must have been levitating by then!

Work is going to be crazy this week so my boss was determined to surprise me somehow at the shop. I walked into sweet birthday flowers, some pastery on the counter and an everything bagel with light jalapeno cream cheese. Apparently I needed to spice it up today *laughs* My station was decorated simply with a few streamers and a box with a card and bow attached. He is too good to me.

I had a great day filled with laughs, a smile that didn't leave my face, great energy, fun talks and beautiful birthday wishes and it's not even over!!

My boss demanded I take lunch, instead of overworking myself. I was worried because it was so busy of course. He handled that by announcing his birthday party idea and the clients could have cookies and tea or coffee if they wished. It seemed to make the shop more busy (the party blowers didn't help) but calm at the same time.

He ordered subway for all of the staff and after the clients had their goods, we had 30 minutes before anyone showed back up.

My birthday meal for tonight is - deep fried cheese ravioli with marinara to dip, a grape leaf, mixed lettuce and cabbage sald with beef, veggies, apricot and a light honey garlic vinigrette, chicken and chorizo penne with mushrooms, apricot, fig, herbs and a spiced tomato sauce

DESSERT : a homemade tiramisu cake that I am dying to dive into but won't because it looks so good.

I am going to cook my first corned beef next week. Any suggestions, tips, etc.?

Sun · 03-11-2013, 08:47 PM

Hola Delicious people!

Happy Birthday to Merry Fairy and FeminineAllure! What an awesome month for birthdays. My mini diva turns 16 next week. Hard to believe.

I hope that you all are doing well. It has been an insanely busy week at work with the town full of tourists and a location that is the center of all of the action. Wow. Today we were short staffed and I made pizza all day. We have an amazing pizza oven. It was a total blast. That brought me to my next question:

What are are your favorite pizza toppings?

I add a little apple cider vinegar to the water. For me, the cabbage is the draw, so I make a lot of it.

Suggestion: Buy organic, naturally raised beef.

The brine is key! Make sure you make it ahead of time, cook it down and then put it in the firdge for a few days with the brisket.

Go low and slow!

My goodness birthday girl you are having feast. I am really happy that you are having a wonderful day. Everyone should have a wonderful birthday.

As for what am I eating today, not much. I had fresh mozzerella, tomato, basil on a bed of Arugula for lunch. That is all I have to report. Too tired to deal with dinner. Need to get stuff done around the house and ready for another busy day. This is the last season of seasonal work for me. As much as travelling once was very alluring to me, I am craving being back home in CA.

What you DID have to eat sounds great and yes, thank you I am having a wonderful day. I think I am worried about the same thing when it comes to traveling. I am scared that after a few months I will just want to come back to a space of my own.

I hope you can get back to CA soon - at least for a visit.
