Comments (30)bobby, now you say that it does look kind of like an itty bitty sausage biscuit! Tami, we could do a bus tour, he just has to get us to one of the suburbs and we could take the train/bus into downtown, but first he has to drive all over Michigan and pick everyone up. Maybe he could charge bus fare and pay for the gas. Yeah.....that could work! Sol, you can come along, any time. I'd love, love, love to meet with you, just think of the he11 we could raise.....um....fun we could have. (heh heh) Peppi, she's adorable, isn't she? And so happy, she was just having a good time, hanging with all three of the Grandmas and eating good stuff. I also see Linda in her, but I see Linda in Erin too, so it's a third generation of Linda. That could be a bit scary, LOL. It really was a nice time, although too short. How can we be retired and still be so darned busy? I thought retirement was supposed to be slower and more relaxing somehow. Annie...See More100 foods to try before you die?? Lets make our own list!!
Comments (43)I've eaten horse, during the PBB scandal when all the cattle were poisoned and dropping over from PBBs in the cattle feed. LindaC, I bought Pocky at my local Meijer's and sent it to dishesdone, they had a chocolate and a strawberry version. Ashley says she's gotten it at WalMart right next to the college, it's a cookie shaped long and thin, not as big around as a pencil and dipped in chocolate or strawberry fudge. I have eaten crocodile AND alligator, and black pudding which Grandma used to call blood sausage. Nettle tea tastes icky and "green" but is supposed to be a diuretic and make your hair shiny, I can't figure out what the heck those two things have to do with each other, but I've tasted it because it's also supposed to be helpful for anemia. I didn't see that it helped. I had chicken tiki masala at a restaurant in Ann Arbor with Elery. It was basically a chicken dish with a curry kind of sauce over rice. Eh. I'm not a huge fan of curry. Paneer? Elery likes cheese. A lot. So we tried this, it kind of reminded me of the homemade yogurt cheese I make by putting yogurt in a strainer and letting it drain for several hours. Criollo chocolate is just a variety of cocoa bean. It's expensive and I found it to be very mild, I wasn't all that impressed with THAT either. I think I bought it at Fresh Market, and everything there is expensive so maybe that's just why it cost more. Tom Yum is just soup. I think it had coconut milk in it and it kind of reminded me of Chinese hot and sour. Annie...See MoreWhick one would you try?
Comments (10)Spicy chocolate mole I really don't do milkshakes that often and they have to be THICK. Once they start to melt down I can't drink them. The healthiness of a lettuce wrap depends on the filling and how much you put in. I love lettuce wraps but am very careful about not overdoing the sauce where a lot of calories hide just like in salad dressing....See MoreFlip's Burger Boutique milkshakes
Comments (4)Linda from KT had the gyro burger and she said it was awesome. I've had the chorizo before so I had it, again, on a lettuce wrap. -------------------------------------- gyro lamb patty, roasted lamb shank, greek spice, tzatziki, lettuce, tomato, red onion & pickled cucumbers 10 chorizo spicy pork sausage, romesco ketchup, hash browns, fried egg, manchego cheese, smoked mayo 7.5...See More

I was less interested in the full recipe rather than the replacement of the dairy.
I've been making Mendiants like this, HERE
And now have some molds to make this, HERE
Free form was good but molds give me more control.
I have every nut, seed and dried fruit available. So I make variations even crispy wafers and puffed rice...(think kit-kat and those crispy bars)
Our annual charity sale is Wednesday-friday so all is done for that.
Just thinking ahead for Valentines day....
Truffles without dairy sounds interesting to add to the bag. Celophane bags and they are wrapped in those thin foil squares. 10 to a bag.
I do like a bit of sea salt but not much. (it is overdone I agree) . My chocolate and my tahini does not have salt. I personally would not add any salt just a light finishing sea salt since I make my own salt. (A friend co-worker has bees and gave me a big block of beeswax that I used in my hand and lip balm so it adds some personal notes).
This is my re-called tahini. One company makes a dozen labels, who knew ?!.
Opened and has been in the fridge for a few weeks....obviously fine since I've been using it.
I'll try a small batch for the holiday party.
