Some more Ogden Nash on food.
Comments (9)I tried to reply to this earlier this afternoon, but my computer was acting up and it wouldn't post. What I said was: "OMG, George, chicken is the preferred protein in my house! Will I ever be able to eat it again without thinking about this poem?!!!" I have a silly (perhaps) but VERY real phobia about all things "creepy crawlerish" -- and Ogden Nash's poem doesn't help one little bit! However, as always, he was very witty. :>)...See MorePickled Walnuts - Has anyone eaten or made them?
Comments (2)I was hoping I'd hear from you, Flora. (Are you the only member from Britain? Perhaps so.) Maybe you and I could plan on making some and exchanging our ideas and results with each other this next summer, in June-July, 2010? Do you have someone with English walnut trees ... who would let you grab a bunch of the walnuts before they ripen? The recipes don't look that complicated. I've found one company in the US that makes Pickled Walnuts, however they use Black Walnuts which have a different, and stronger, flavor (and stain the hands badly when picking and peeling). But like most of us, I want to make it myself! (If you click on their website, just be prepared by rather loud, slightly annoying music!)

Comments (7)This is great and no cooking is involved - just alot of chopping! (you can buy the already cooked shrimp at the grocery when you make this!) SHRIMP SALSA 4 lbs. cooked, peeled shrimp 8 Roma tomatoes, chopped 1 cup diced red onion 1 1/3 cup fresh cilantro 1 1/4 cup serrano chili peppers, seeded & minced 4 TBS fresh parsley juice of 4 limes 1 cup extra virgin olive oil kosher salt and freshly ground pepper Cut each shrimp into 3 or 4 pieces and place in large bowl. Add the tomatoes, onion, cilantro, serrano peppers and parsley. Mix to combine. Add the lime juice and oil and toss to mix thoroughly. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Chill until serving time and serve with tortilla chips....See MoreTrying new foods.
Comments (31)A lady from Hong Kong was a care-giver to my then 99 yr old grandmother about 2002. She prepared a durian for us - quite a production. It seemed to require elbow length gloves, a machete, knives, a very well protected table and a variety of scooping tools. We tried it - it tasted good smelled funny. She went home for the weekend and we had a bowl of durian in the fridge. The next day the whole kitchen stank of it - not appetizing - neither of us was inspired to eat it or anything else in the kitchen. The next day I triple wrapped it and trashed it. When she returned she figured out what I had done and was deeply offended. Oh dear....See Morefawnridge (Ricky)
