We do have Moxie and the old-timers in my town can be seen with those bright orange cans all summer.


And now that you mention it, I've noticed that the people of Boston have a unique colloquial language and their own accent. So interesting!

I know that accent! A good friend of mine is from Wisconsin.

Hey I am from NY and have lived in CA for the last 14 years with no NY accent and as one friend said "you don't sound like you come from anywhere!"

Too bad you were so far away from me this summer, we bough a huge wheel of Asiago at the club and mostly used it for private parties and catering. Well, needless to say, we had a lot left over at the end of the season. It was crazy. I started running daily specials trying to use it up, I put it in staff meals (they were so spoiled) and still could not make a dent. Lesson learned..don't buy the wheel unless you are going to feed 1000.

The octopus is already dead! I think you need to bash it to tenderise it because the meat is very tough. Nonetheless, it looked like a lot of work and I don't think I'll give that one a go.

Yep - last night I had chicken mince, ginger, garlic, scallions, lemongrass, a little rice wine, chinese five spice, and some maggi seasoning. Oh, and a bit of carrot - just because my food processor needed a bit more volume to get going. Everything was getting stuck up the sides and not moving. I hate it when that happens!

Edited to add: ok, really really going to get ready for work now!

Oh no we are making you late for work from across around the world!

How cool is that?

Wow your dumpling filling sounds a lot more interesting than mine. Hmm..I need to work on that. Next job is to create a veggie dumpling for the mini diva. At holiday time I want to be able to keep her interested in food and keep her away from sweets. Wish me luck.

Orange cans would be new to me. I have only seen bottles.

Yes unique and interesting! Sometimes I need a translator but that is ok. They sure like to be unique up there.

Once you get it out of the oven, slather it on a cracker. Top it with a sliver of a nice mild white cheese, then top that with a dollop of blueberry cobbler.

I've been trying to just buy some lemons and cut up a wedge, and I try to order water with lemon in restaurants. I can sympathize with your sister; I'm trying to break a pop habit (did a Southernism pop out there?) and it's not easy! So police away .

The greatest soul food I have ever had was in a place that by appearance, was the diviest dive of divedom in a divey neighborhood. Don't judge a book by its cover (usually)!

No, no, nooooooooo!

You are likely getting far more than you bargained for with that lemon (besides, lemons are a diuretic..good for when you've consumed too much salt and the retention is crazy wild...see here).

Hiya TD, Welcome to the thread!

Well that is a very creative interpretation there. Blueberry cobbler would be great. Wish I had some!

Hi Gemme!

I have never seen this information before. Thanks for posting it! Wow just think of how many sports drinks use powdered lemon as the citric acid base. Fascinating.

Oh for pete's sake! Help me! I've made 48 Hour Bone Broth and I can't stop drooling!! This stuff is like crack!

So. There was broth leftover from the chicken soup... even after Gryph had seconds and I had thirds. It made a nice base for rice and veggies, which we polished off for supper. The next batch of 48 Hour Bone Broth cooked down tonight, and so help me, it MADE me drool again! So I turned the crockpot off, and strained the broth. The bones crumbled at the touch of a finger--guess that vinegar makes a big difference--and I ended up with four cups of really rich broth, so I threw in 2 cups of rice, a pound of mixed corn and carrots, some Mexican seasonings, the rest of the chicken (cut small), and an avocado.

When I put the rice on to cook I said to Gryph, in all seriousness, "I need to buy more chickens, I'm out of bones."

And when Gryph said, most reasonably, "Friday," which is, after all, payday... I pouted because I don't wanna wait.

I think I might buy beef bones this time, and see what happens with them.

Or yanno... a couple more roasted chickens.

I'm drooling again.

Did I mention that I don't drool? It's against my religion... well, it was against my religion... help me; this stuff is like crack!

Good Morning Delicious People!!

OMG starting my day sipping coffee and reading the "Adventures of lil bit and the Salivationisms of Bone Broth" is just, priceless.

As if the full Moon in Gemini was not enough to make me happy, here we have the start of a great book unfolding before us.

Cath darlin, have you considered that this may be a sign from the universe that you could open up shop making soup? Not sure if you would actually want to, but you sure could! Any stock that is that good, would draw a crowd.

Last night I roasted a Butternut squash, simple right?

Oh no I had to stay outside looking at the moon and overcook the squash. Something about the Moon in the desert that is so intoxicating and this moon is especially gorgeous.

Maybe if I had been using my common sense (ya think?) I would have set an alarm on my phone. Anyway...It is not a total loss just dried out a lot more than I wanted.

Have a delicious day everyone!

It's 11:45 am on Thursday and I'm thinking about lunch.
There are a few options here on campus... I'm thinking of going for the 2 pieces of pizza for $3.00 option might be the way to go today. It's good value!

Ooooh Pizza.

What kind of pizza toppings do you like?


Here is a question for everyone...what is the best pizza that you ever had?

What is the most creative combinations of ingredients on a pizza that you have ever had?

Hello deliciousness!!


I never had butternut squash and I feel I'm missing out! I like zucchini in a stir fry with some corn and onion and tomato..


Speaking of lemons, some people don't get lemon wedges at restaurants in their drinks because they wonder how many hands have touched the lemon. Others talk about the "touchdown" of water pitchers and how restaurants and waiters/waitresses go with one pitcher and "touchdown" on hundreds of customers glasses passing germs. The alternative, a bottled water?

Sleep and work for me. I woke up late afternoon and made some bacon (my fav!) and some chocolate chip pancakes. mmmm.

Hey ruff!

Bottled water is cleaner than water pitchers that touch glasses but a properly trained staff is not going to be making the pitcher come into contact with the rim of the glass. My larger concern is that tap water is contaminated in so many places and we can never be sure if a restaurant has an RO filter or some other filtration device.

You should try Butternut squash sometime. I bet you will like it.
