You would eat a flip flop if it had enough pizza sauce and cheese on it.

All vegs were cooked for about 20 min in the boiling water. Then Adding some greens like chives and dill. Adding spices and olive oil.
But baking is much better than cooking. I'll go to experiment with a pickled vegs. It is a good idea.
You need a small cookies cutters. Have fan! Easy funny cooking and the great presentation! ... Patent pending! :)
Could be centerpiece at the dinner table.
Proven with my friends for many years for the family events and community potlucks
It is good to have card suits cookies cutters
Enjoy!!!

I LOVE all the different potatoes. They all taste like potatoes, and they all taste different, at the same time.

This is way to respect food. I grew up on the such rules established by my family (grand parents and parents). They were starving on the WW2 and post war times in Europe.
Respect food! Eat all and keep your plates clean.
Do not throw leftovers.
Quote: EvenBobThis is how people ate in the fifties and sixties, we would make something in quantity and then eat it for three nights in a row. It was so good that nobody minded it, especially if you switched it up like I did here. I know people who throw away leftovers. Unbelievable.
From when I was single, in the 70s and 80s, it has always been my nature to make a lot of something and eat it for as long as it takes to finish. Now, I make less for the two of us, but I try to keep it varied; so different meals, and staggered leftovers, and combining different leftovers into different things.
This is tonight. Leftover carnitas from Sunday, a half a red pepper and half an onion leftover from Monday’s pasta, and rice from yesterday’s chicken and rice. I sautéed the carnitas, pepper, and onion in a pot with some adobo and Tajín seasoning, tossed in some chopped Hatch peppers and about a tablespoon of hot sauce, and then mixed in the rice and let it all simmer up. It was freakin’ FANTASTIC.

Tomorrow, I have some chicken from yesterday, maybe something simple like chicken salad.

Cooking is a lot of work, people would rather just throw the leftovers away and open another package of something tomorrow. I was listening to a nutritionist today saying that if you ate clean for just 3 months, got rid of all processed food and just ate everything from scratch and lots of fruit and vegetables you would notice a tremendous change in your health no matter what your age is. Aches and pains would go away, you would sleep better, you would have more energy, you're thinking would be clearer. I know all these things are true because I've done it. Modern food is poisoning us, literally. All the additives and all the crap they put in our food is killing us. Modern food tastes good, because our brain is addicted to fat salt sugar and carbohydrate. Go down any snack aisle in the grocery store and that's what you're looking at in 100 different versions, fat salt sugar and carb.
Great white- red color presentation! My rating 10/10

My dogs would eat me if I threw the leftovers away. Last nights dinner for the dogs was a chicken enchilada and a beef tamale along with rice and black beans. We are not allowed to come home from a restaurant without bringing them a doggie bag.

Quote: MoscaEggs frico. It’s like an inside out omelet. Shred some cheese into a nonstick skillet, and let it melt. Then crack a couple eggs on top, cover, and let the eggs cook while the cheese forms one of those lacy half-melted half-hard cracker things like you get on the side with soups and salads in pretend-fancy restaurants. I broke one of the yolks, but I’m not tossing anything. But you’re supposed to poke the yolk with the fork. It looks like a lot more food than it is, the cheese layer is only about as thick as a coin.

I could have used Parmesan, but all I have is Parmigiano Reggiano, and I ain’t making this with that. I used plain old Colby Jack, a nice melting cheese.

Quick Food Trivia Quiz #11 (Answers)

Arabica & Robusta
Arabica beans are used for almost 70% of all the coffee consumed. Robusto is used for around 30%. Despite being less expensive and higher in caffeine content, the bitterness of robusta beans makes them mainly used for espresso type drinks. Blends are sometimes used. When coffee makers say a blend has a robust taste, they're referring to the robusta bean and not the boldness of the brew.
Brazil
For the last 150 years Brazil has been the world's #1 grower of coffee beans.
As for "The Coffee Song" it was one of Sinatra's early hits. During his comeback in the early 50s he would open his nightclub act with it. The band would begin the intro and the audience would gaze at the stage in anticipation. Sinatra would then surprise everyone by entering from the back of the room holding a cup of coffee and a saucer. He would wind his way through the tables and up onto the stage while singing about all the coffee in Brazil.
It sounds hokey but his fans ate (or perhaps drank) it up. I suppose having Frank Sinatra walk by your table while singing his heart out is a memory most people would hold on to.

Espresso
The red eye is a drink for those looking for some extra oomph to start their day or to keep the sandman at bay during the night. It has other names such as "shot in the dark" (anywhere), "turbo" (Dunkin' Donuts) and "depth charge" (Caribou Coffee). At Starbucks, a double shot of espresso in the coffee may be termed a "black eye", and a triple shot a "dead eye". "Caffè Tobio" is a version with an equal amount of coffee to espresso.
If you think this all sounds a bit la-di-da, you'll get no argument from me. You should know, however, that coffee connoisseurs have a (somewhat ironic) term describing people who only drink regular brewed coffee: "coffee snobs."
Brandy
If you're just adding brandy to coffee you're probably simply trying to stay warm or steady your nerves (or you're an alcoholic). At a restaurant, the drink is usually topped with whipped cream and possibly has ice cream added to make a dessert cocktail.

If you simply grill them, the skin cooks before the middle. I boil them in a frying pan, adding some butter. Let the water boil off and keep the dogs in the pan until they blister. It's more work , but well worth it.
Nathans, I grill. Hebrew National or Sabretts, I boil and grill

Interesting. It sounds to me like maybe you are grilling them at too high of a temperature. The good thing is that hot dogs are already cooked so you won't get sick if you undercook them.

No you just get sick because they contain rodent hair and a certain percentage of mouse turds. I observed firsthand years ago how they make hot dogs and I've stayed away from them ever since. They put everything that nobody wants to eat from chicken and pork into a big vat and they add a bunch of other junk and turn it into a pink goo and force it into hot dog skins.
