Have there ever been any food crazes or fads in your setting?
Ahuurul (sorta a sheep-like animal) meat was once extremely popular for it’s texture and taste, even unseasoned it possessed great flavor. Flaky and slightly crisp when cooked juuuuuust right.
Unfortunately, being tasty isn’t a good survival strategy, and Ahuurul became one of the first livestock.
LUNCH! And breakfast, I don’t really eat breakfast on weekdays!
½ cucumber, whole yellow pepper, 3 laughing cow cheese with gluten free rice crackers, raspberries, a banana, a blood Orange, and a banana chocolate chip muffin.
I didn’t get the opportunity to grocery shop this week so this is what my meal looks like- everything I had hanging around the house that was on the go edible.
Yogurt and bran, cinnamon toast crunch and oat milk, and a Reese’s bat.
Today is going to have quite a bit of sugar, I think I’ll likely order something else to have today, perhaps a smoothie or salad!
This week is hopefully going to be a good one, tonight I’m spending the night with my dear friend and fellow artist Ruby where hopefully we’ll make art and watch movies and have a really nice time!
I wasn’t certain of the genre when I acquired my copy of Kerri Turner’s The Last Days of the Romanov Dancers, set in Saint Petersburg’s ballet world during the Russian Revolution. While it’s published by Harlequin Australia the cover is clearly reaching for audiences beyond romance readers. I’m crossing my fingers and hoping for a good blend of history and love crowned by an HEA. Auspiciously, the author is a ballet teacher who also made a research trip to Russia.
In the 1800s, US dairy producers would regularly mix their milk with water, chalk, plaster dust, embalming fluid, and calf brains to enhance appearance and flavor. Hundreds of children died due to a combination of formaldehyde, dirt, and bacteria in milk.
I have to confess, I stole this delicious picture from my mom’s Instagram account. This is the potato rosemary pizza she made for my sister’s 23rd birthday. Can you say fancy??
Had a great time at the Cleveland Flea last week! Thank you to my Yelp friends for showing me the ropes and helping me track down these ah-mazing vegan cookies from Philomena Bakeshop!
Welp Yelp, I can finally say I tried the elusive Noodlecat. I have been back-and-forth on whether or not to get food from here for a while now, mainly because of my fellow Yelpers inability to decide whether or not this place is awesome or sucks. The reviews are so all over the place I wasn’t sure if I really wanted to subject myself to the possibility of a bad meal. I decided once and for all the bite the bullet though and check this place out for myself.
Overall, I’m not super impressed. The location, servers, and vibe were a+, no complaints there, but the food was just lacking for me. Considering the price as well as the hype, I expected a pretty tasty dish when I ordered the smoked tomato coconut curry udon, instead though I got some pretty slimy noodles. The broth was good but overall could have used a bit more body, and the tofu was a pretty pointless addition to the dish. I wish they had gotten a little more creative with it. Just because I’m vegan doesn’t mean I like huge chunks of tofu in my soup!
The house sake was good though, it was infused with orange and lemon and I could have drank a barrel of it. It was just what I wanted while sitting outside in the late summer sun.
Overall, I vote skip Noodlecat. It just didn’t impress me enough to feel the need to recommend it to anyone or bother going back.
Furcsa dolog lárvát kürtős kalácsba tenni, mert az egyik sós, a másik édes. Persze azért működhet! :D
De melyik sós?
Nem ettél még lárvát? Sós, mint állat. :D
Most nagyon rákívántam egy “retro” óriaskiflis, beledugós virslis hotdog-ra, nagy pohar jaffával…
Létezik még olyan? Én évtizedek óta nem láttam.
Ipari és házi hot-dog készítő készülékek (1-4 db kiflilukasztóval) mind a mai napig kaphatók 10K-200K forint közötti áron (néhánynál kiegészítővel lehet főzni tojást, meg kukoricát is), amikhez a nagy- és kisker büféellátóknál is folyamatosan van alapanyag, szóval tuti vannak még kajáldák, amik a klasszikus hotdogot árulják. Igaz, hogy egyre inkább a francia / pannini “kifli” van sok helyen, akár a készre főzött virslivel komplettre összeállított változatok formájában. Gondolom ez utóbbiak terjedtek el a benzinkutak saját büféiben is (majd lecsekkolom és megkóstolom, amint lesz újra jogsim), ahol csak bedobják a mikróba vagy pannini/kontakt grillbe és 1 perc alatt kész koszolás, meg molyolás (főzés, lukasztás, melegentartás, szószozás) nélkül. MOL fresscorner és SHELL café ajánlatok:
Sajnos, még nem találtam ki*, hogy mivel tudnék házilag bagettet lukasztani (mondjuk M12-M16-os menetesszárakkal), mert akkor mikróban melegítve és a szintén ott finoman megfőzött/megsütött vékony virslikkel (füstli és utánzatai) nagyon jó hotdogot tudnék eszkábálni. :)
* Eddig az egybe “öntött”, fémnyelű húsklopfoló tűnik a legközelebbi megoldásnak.
I have zero understanding of the language and words above me, but I know tasty food when I see it.
How do you say: “May I please have some?” in that language?
