Something Delicious

[Sun]

Good Morning Delicious people!

You all have been busy. Awesome.

Jennie - Great looking mussels, nice work.

Nadeest - Test the knives out and see what feels right to you. If you have a Sur la Table or Williams Sonoma, nearby they let you test them.

Ursy - Bek the sous Chef! Yay I love it. One thing I learned with my Aspy bff is that she can relate to food much better if she has a role in putting it together in some way. If I cook and she is going to eat I have to make sure that there is some assembly required or some choice in the matter. That is kind of cool for me.


I really enjoy how we think differently about things.

I've been trying to pack for my trip and realize that I have 5 days of hotel food or food on the road ahead of me. Not fun! Maybe I will lose some weight on this trip.

Question for you all, does anyone know what the regional specialty dishes are in Atlanta?

Now, see, there is no set behaviour for a Daddy or Sir, each one is different; as they are also different with each girl.

Healthy? Healthy as carrots I'd say!

[QUOTE=Sun;735188]I see you as a cute lol cat and you can haz soup I duz not know if ah should be responsible for givin you beer. I sawz what yo cat frenz duz wif beerz. Jus sayin


I iz quite kittun like but not many people really get to see what I mean. I canz be trusted wif beer!!!! It's BEER I can't wastes that!!! Thankz for tha soup though . In all fairness I am far more liklely to spill hot sauce on myselfz. It's a natural talent. Why doez shirts not haz hot sauce resistance? Wrinkle resistance doez no good to me. I never learnz that white shirts attract stainz either so I try to not wear white. I still spill thingz

I would worry if you made it obvious that you were hiding it. I wouldn't want you to get in trouble!

I've been reading this sting about the seeds and I am definitely am going to orders some. What I was thinking though, is that if you contacted Underwood directly, they might be able to send seeds abroad. Just a thought.

Tonight was fried rice. She did a great job

I think this is wonderful that you are taking the time to teach her and that she's willing to learn. When my ex and I were together I really wanted to teach my stepson 'cause I didn't him to grow up and be one of those 'helpless' bachelors. Alas he was fine 'helping' once in a while, but it wasn't his thing. I've lost contact with him, sadly. I hope that he's eating real food and not canned/processed junk.

They sound really cool, don't they? I'd never heard of them before.
The difficult part is getting them through customs, they would most likely be confiscated.

Yes, it's such an awesome skill to have. Even more awesome if you can learn to love it!

She is quite interested in food. One of our favourite things to do is to go to one of those international supermarkets and look at all of the interesting things that you can't get in the regular supermarkets.

She's very open to trying things she's never tried before. She turned 18 last Friday and we went to a buffet restaurant (she loves the variety of those places) and she tried a baby octopus. She ate the whole thing, but said she probably wouldn't bother eating any more of them.

Welcome! Lucky you. I would love to have a great Pho place close by. No complaints here though, I have amazing Mexican food and my favorite Sushi ever

Thanks Strong. I do love all things southern.

This week I will not be cooking but will find some time to seek out the local flavors.

Bek is very adventurous. I cant imagine the mini diva eating anything adventurous at this state. I cant even get her to try hot sauce. Garlic I had to sneak into the food.

Have a wonderful and safe trip! I can't wait to see your posts when you return.

They take bbq seriously in Atlanta! Then again, all southern soul food is sure to hit the spot . Fried okra, shrimp & grits, bread pudding, hush puppes and homestyle beans!

There are lots of little local diners, food trucks and the like for you to experience the regional flavors. Speaking of food trucks, if you want to track where to find a good spot so you don't need to worry about hotel food, look here! They even have menu's listed

I did some research. I am not sure the days you will be gone but Jan 26th there is an Atlanda beer festival. Atlanta Winter Beer Fest!

The 25th-27th they have a harley booth at the motorcycle show. I know it's not food related but I thought if you had time, it may peak your interest.


Here is a link for things going on around the area food & drink related : http://www.atlantabuzz.com/category/food-drink/

Wow thank you TMF, awesome research.

I will be online the whole week and I will be working while at the convention as I have a big project underway and cant just break from it for a volunteer week.

If there is anything exciting to report I surely will. One of these days I have to get some pics uploaded to post here. What sites are you all using for that? I have Photobucket.

I had the most wonderful lunch today at a little mediteranean bistro!

The atmosphere was classy but still casual and comfortable. They set the tone with goegeous red table settings, cute candle holders and faint authentic music playing in the background.

The lighting was perfect, my waitress was a resfreshing burst of energy & the food was out of this world. I think I had a divine experience, similar to the ones from Eat pray love. THAT is exactly what I have tried to embrace and it's the type of life I want to continue living. Fresh food, lovely ambiance and the feeling as if you've been transported to an exotic destination.

I am still swooning. Okay so my lunch is pretty much the only thing I will be eating today because there was so much to choose from and I couldn't resist!

I started with a glass of water with extra lemon & then I had a pepsi with my main.

I shared two appetizers : Tyrokafteri Dip - a feta and roasted red pepper spread served with fresh warm pita bread & mythos mussels - steamed in greek beer, lemon and a fresh garlic cream

My entree was a lamb and spice stuffed grape leaf (just one) on the side of a chicken and chorizo whole wheat penne with bright fresh veggies, a spicy tomato sauce and manchego cheese.

I really didn't have any room for dessert BUT who can turn down herbal tea, deep fried cheesecake & baklava??

My friends are too kind to me.

[Ursy]

That sounds wonderful!
I've heard of lots of deep fried things before, but never deep fried cheesecake

Was it amazing?

We started making Tiramisu in class today, and it will be finished next week. It was fun, and I think that I am really going to enjoy my Advanced Pastry class. It looks like we will be making mostly tortes, and European style desserts.
