Like pure chocolate or could yu use a snickers? i use high end chocolate like guittard. never tried it with a snickers but that might be really good. i have also have skipped the chocolate and vanilla instant puddings, instead i get one of those lemon puddings you have to cook...not the instant kind ( blech! ) and using a couple tablespoons of fresh lemon juice along with the water the directions say to use on the back. also have used a pineapple topping. it's basically the pineapple filling i use in my pineapple pie sans crust of course Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

soon Posted June 10, 2017 Share Posted June 10, 2017 after a shitty day I decided to treat my self to one of those big frozen mac and cheese with the crusty top from the grocery store. was so weird not to cook that I will be making extra cheese sauce and maybe some type of chimichuri to go on the left overs. I cant help it: need to cook if I eat at home and am able! probably cook some chives into cheese sauce and cant one time will have basil and other time cilantro and parsley chimichuri Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wasted Posted June 11, 2017 Share Posted June 11, 2017 (edited) Went a bit mental in the japanese ready prepared section. Party pack of chicken, pork and beef. With prawn crockets and crab legs deshelled. I got a smoked salmon salad as a token gesture to health. Got some weird sesame ice cream and 2 coke zeros to liberate some rum into.

Cant really wrap my head around the sesame ice cream, but would try it for sure. The rest sounds like what I want everyday lately! Deshelled crab legs strike me as the height of luxury.

janrichmond Posted June 11, 2017 Share Posted June 11, 2017 @Gracii Guns lemon drizzle is my favourite ever cake and one that i have actually baked myself [yay me] Have you ever made muffins? I bought the tray to make them in about 5 years ago but still ain't got round to baking any. I think lemon muffins are the best.

Damn you and your cooking wizardry yay @janrichmond for the cake! muffins are a breeze, the trick is combine the wet and dry ingredients til they are just mixed. if you over mix them you get those weird ones with the tall pointy tops! last ones i made were churro muffins, so good! and better for you than real churros cos you don't have to deep fry the muffins Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Im more of a crab in a bucket It was weird they had frozen crab legs for 17 dolars and 4 deshelled for 1.80. Sesame ice cream is okay it's even in conveince stores. Green tea ice cream I don't like much, it has bitter taste or something. I prefer sesame balls, theres hot sesame inside the flour ball. The prawn crockets were life threatening. Tobasco on eggs. Not a recipe more a lifestyle. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sesame balls I can imagine and they sound great! Im often tempted to flavour rice with green tea but haven't for some reason, but I did just harvest round two of chamomile and think Ill flavour rice that way.

How was it? oh it was great! we only attended the reception, the actual ceremony was for family and very close friends. they had this long appetizer table with oysters on the half shell, spicy mussels, hollowed out tiny potatoes with creme fraiche and caviar on the top, just TONS of stuff and at the end of the table was a carving station with like half a steer there the cake was vanilla with different flavors between the layers; raspberry, lemon, strawberry and was decorated with italian buttercream flowers everywhere. it was very nice, thanks for asking!

And what a glorious way of life it is Pilau rice I think you get with indian food. Pineapple fried rice in Thailand is good, it has fruits and raisons, that's in the pineapple shell. Never made that at home. I have packets of coconut cream and milk so I'm looking what to do with them. Maybe green curry or korma. I have deboned chicken thighs and peppers. I'm mot very organised. It'll be a hybrid without half the ingredients just throw it in and hope. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
