I'm leery of trying them...sorry to say...I have...pre-conceived notions of how my food should be...I try to stray from my norm...but some things are harder to attempt than others...

I WANT to like seaweed salad for example....I hear it's great for iron....and mines gets very low....and it doesn't TASTE bad...it's just...the entire time I'm eating it...all I can think is....I"M EATING SEAWEED!!! But I can eat nori...so go figure...

I have been reading through posts on here all day and this place is making me hungry. You all have such wonderful ideas and thoughts on food. I can't wait to see what happens next, and share a bit of my own kitchen magic...

I'm newly addicted to pomegranates. I hadn't thought of trying the seeds frozen! Thanks Also helps with getting them on sale (.99/piece) and not wanting to eat them all at once....good to know they will keep so I can buy in bulk when I see them for that price again

i like raw fish over cooked fish. (go figure)

time to make dinner -- we are having something easy.
nachos w/ black beans, green chili, left over turkey, cheese topped off with greek yogurt, green onions, and diced avocados.

With raw fish I am super selective. What I serve others and what I eat are different. Can not adjust to raw Salmon no matter how many amazing preparations have been offered to me over the years. Oily fish in general..cant do it raw. Raw clams and oysters...bring it.

Raw Tuna..could eat it every day.

Just about everything else...is getting cooked.

Pomegranate juice is my thing. I've added it to marinade for chicken and I keep looking for ways to use it. Wish I could buy frozen pulp the same way that I can get mango or tamarind pulp.

That would probably require like a bazzillion pomegranates though.

Not sure about the knowledge I just love an adventure so I take a lot of that energy out on food experimentation.

Brazilian food! There is something that we have not covered! lol

*wondering what the joke is*

Hi WG!

What do you do with the pomegranate seeds?

When they are frozen they are great to roll around in the mouth until they become soft again. They taste so delicious.

What kind of cheese do you suggest?

I usually use colby jack or cheddar cheese.

I bet some roasted green chilis would be great in there but I do not want to assume to change your Grandmother's recipe.

Gee thanks Wolf.

We have been eating this on Christmas morning for as long as I can remember. Some people like it on toast, we prefer good ole southern biscuits. You can add cooked sausage if you like.


Ingredients
•2 hard-cooked eggs
•2 tablespoons plus 2 teaspoons butter, softened and divided
•2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
•1/2 teaspoon salt
•1/8 teaspoon white pepper
•1 cup milk
•2 buttermilk biscuits

Directions
•Cut eggs in half; remove yolks and set aside. Chop egg whites; set aside. In a small saucepan, melt 2 tablespoons butter. Stir in the flour, salt and pepper until smooth. Gradually stir in milk. Bring to a boil; cook and stir for 1-2 minutes or until thickened.
• Stir in egg whites; heat through. Spread each slice of toast with 1 teaspoon remaining butter. Pour sauce over biscuit. Force egg yolks through a sieve to break into small pieces; sprinkle over sauce. Yield: 2 servings.

Now why are you leery of trying a fish taco?

You may like it. If you don't, that's ok too.

Seaweed salad is definitely not for everyone. I happen to love it but it took some getting used to at first. Remember that the source of our food chain is at the bottom of the sea. All of that cellular matter in the seaweed looks just like hemoglobin under a microscope, so go figure. If you feel good after you eat the seaweed salad you may come to appreciate it more.

When I first started eating sushi I was 15 and my Mom was trying to convince me that I would love it and I recall saying something like "Mom there is no way that I am going to like raw fish" and wow did I give her a hard time about it. Yet, it took her about 5 minutes to find a flavor profile that I would like and that turned out to be Tekka Maki and poof..I was a believer. So maybe seaweed salad is not for you but perhaps something like spinach steamed and tossed with soy sauce, rice vinegar, a dash of toasted sesame oil would be more your thing and you would get thr iron benefits.
