Bacon never hurts Brussels sprouts either.
Lucky! My wife keeps getting me to try foie gras or however it's spelled. I Can't do more than one bite no matter the cut or style. Seafood is awesome but I hated it - could not even smell it until age 35. Been catching up on lost time ever since! Yum! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
It is funny how your taste buds change over time. Some things you used to hate you will now love. Other things you used to love, you won't anymore. I make it a point to keep trying things I never used to like.
I'm the same. I think I inherited it from my grandmother. She always encouraged me to try new things. And, I will, still to this day. Except condiments, my culinary Achilles heel. 😝 T
I'm also someone who will try anything. I love trying new foods. That's one of the reasons I love living in vegas so much. There are new foods to try everywhere. Mark
Ha! I have not done that, but it wouldn't phase me. I don't think the wife would be into it, though. Mark
Did this trade show deal a few years ago. At the end they had an exhibitors party. All the cocktail waitresses nude but body painted. It was weird but no too weird. Homemade burgers and fries. Leftover hamburger so thinking beef soft taco night tonight.
I could NOT in a million years see that happening at a scientific conference. We're much too boring for that! 😀 Go old school. Hard taco shells! T
Hmmm, maybe pick up some hard shells this afternoon. Thinking bottle return day. Most drinks here have a return deposit on them. Milk jugs, orange juice, etc. Pops, beer, etc. If you put them out with recycling for pick up. People drive around to tear open bags and fish out the deposit items. They leave a mess and the recycle folks leave it. So I now save them and take them in for the deposit. Usually, I get back around $50 to $60 every few months. I then donate that money to either Ronald McDonald house or to the local SPCA animal shelters. What drives me nuts about the recycling deal here. I buy a lot of American pop in WA state. Since no deposit they are not worth money here. The garbage dump garbage's them and so does the recycling place. Its the same size bottle and even type. The only difference between a Canadian bottle and an American one. Is our label has French and English. Really bugs me they don't recycle the American bottles here.
Odd that they don't recycle them in WA. That's a good deal on donating the proceeds to charity. Good on you for that...T
Someone gifted us a box of Omaha Steaks so I sous vide'd the burgers today for lunch, since they come vac sealed. 131 for 2 hrs, from frozen. Even with less thickness, perfect!
Trade show nudes to soft taco - I think there's a train of thought! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
You might be slightly braver than I. Not saying that I'd heat them much beyond that, but "from frozen," I might let them sit a bit longer. This is said from someone who has purchased fresh, never frozen lamb shanks & eaten them either on the way out from the store, or shortly after getting home.
TBT, given their thinness compared to the ones I did myself last time, I would have done them for 90 min from thawed.
Yeah, I'm surprised WA state isn't like Oregon and California. Most communities there don't have recycling collection. Only 10 states do a bottle deposit system. BC was the first to do it in North America in 1970. I'm not a big environment guy. But some things we can reuse and no point in filling up landfills with them. Also don't like wasting resources. Did the hard shells last night. Left overs, so will do soft tonight.
Love tartar. Of course that's different then ground beef that's been around for a while Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
I don't know when they started it but I know in the early 70's in at least Western NY they had deposits on bottles. There used to be beverage stores. I remember going with Dad or an Uncle to pick up beer and soda pop. The pop came in plastic container type racks of bottles. You'd drink it then put the bottles back in the rack and take it back on your next trip. As for WA recycling I think a lot of if not most towns have recycling programs. At least around Seattle/Tacoma area. I have to pay whether I use it or not so I use the service. Much easier than it used to be too, it pretty much all goes in the same container.
