Sally's GF3 thread

I'm betting our Governor has had Botox done... I haven't seen her forehead move since she was elected in 2018.

Clear shellac???

Clear shellac... it very well could be! Whenever Gretchen Whitmer is on the news, no matter what she is talking about, good news or tragedy, her forehead Does. Not. Move.

@U_Stormcrow, I thought of you at dinner last night. I have finally tasted toum.

Until now, I've only heard of it, so I have no baseline to measure against. Was it good quality? Poor? One thing for certain: Hubby was not a fan, and later he told me my breath reeked.

Here's a recipe, and you can bet I'm going to try my food processor at making it. I think I'll make it when hubby is gone for a few days and then I won't have to share it he won't complain about my breath.

I found another recipe that used only lemon juice as the liquid, not half-and-half with water.

For garlic aficionados, this link inside the recipe was interesting.

My garlic will be ready for harvest in 4-6 weeks, I'd guess. I planted more this year, and got another variety to try: German White. I also gave it some blood meal in April; we'll see if that made it happier this year.

Definitely no water. and yes, its "food of love" - because only those who love you will kiss you later!

/edit I just started a pot of old clothes (ropa vieja). Some foods have funny names, you know? "Eggs in Purgatory" is still fun to say.

Definitely no water

Good to know! Thank you.

ropa vieja

To think I was going to give those old clothes to Goodwill...

I must try the "eggs in purgatory." That sounds delicious! I have the eggs and the canned tomatoes; will have the garlic, basil, and onions in a few months.

I actually prefer eggs poached in chili, served on a lightly toasted English muffin, with melty cheddar cheese on top. But eggs in purgatory are a pretty good close second if you have a good red sauce. Some of the jarred options, not so good on pasta, less good paired with eggs. Try and avoid the really sweet options.

 

[Sally PB]

Both hubby and I like strong, hot onions. Sweet onions are ok in a salad, but when cooking, I want the strong flavored ones.

I grow Red Baron and Stuttgarter; the RBs seem to be more pungent.

Good thing I just had breakfast. This is making me hungry!

I like eggs poached in hash. Yum.

This made me shriek when I saw it in the green house. Just the surprise of it. I don't mind snakes. Too much. A friend identified this as a corn snake.
