➡I accidentally bought Balut eggs: 2 live ducks! Now a Chat Thread!

I like (not love) cooking but have considered them. Especially hello fresh. Knowing that everything if need for a recipe would show up right there for me without having to shop was and is tempting since I've been back in school. But I have yet to commit to one. I really like the argument someone made (can't remember who) that you get recipes you'd never try otherwise. I LOVE trying new things and it could be a good way to do that.

So is investing in a number of real cook books.

You should have joined our hurricane thread.
It was a hoot.
I'm hoping we don't need to liven that thread up again this year.

Oh i can only imagine!

No I think I just wanted to scare Glittery again.

Besides, I like to season my food my way. Don't think I would like someone else picking what and how much seasoning for my food.

I've got TONS!!!! Even old ones from parents and grandparents but they made the point of only needing ingredients for the one recipe that you'll never use again which I run into all the time. It prompts me to experiment which happens often and usually turns out well but i like the thought of not putting away a spice and never looking at it agin. Usually when I see a recipe with ingredients I won't use much i just skip it. Also here where I live a lot of the unique spices are unavailable.

I haven't figured out why yet.
It might be because she isn't embarrassed to say she uses the Hello kitty Food service.
Even though I said I would try it I still think it is hilarious.

I like to own my glittery crazy!

That was your other neighbor who made that point @sdm111

And tonight it's your other neighbor.
The tea drinker.

How did I miss these! Am I the tea drinker?!?!!it went down easily to my surprise. I'm a little disappointed.

OH H*LL YES After 45 years of cooking, it cracks me up that someone would decide to allow another person to plan the nightly meal. No offence intended.

I NEED someone to plan it.... otherwise we're all eating the same thing until I think of something else.

I noticed a newish member post today that was in Jamaica.
I might have bothered them (nicely) for a homemade Jamaican curry recipe.
I plan to try it tomorrow or the next day.
I will take pics and share here for anyone that want it, after I make it.

I love to make different things.
