I think ya'll can figure out how the word was pronounced by a southerner lol...
Yep (pu-tain)... which we all know is not the same thing as fries and gravy.

OMG not just my friends but everyone in the truck stop busted out laughing... Good thing I was a bit lit and really didn't care too much!!

Don't forget about the cheese curds *winks* And don't worry about the pronounciation. French canadians say it a little different than most english so when an english person is trying to pronounce it with a french accent, that too can cause a bit of embarrassment, similar to your own.

my dad once asked for a quick -ie (quiche)

I died laughing-- as the waitress was like, excuse me sir!

Valentine treats-- I usually make cookies or cupcakes for my honey. This year, we are going to be extra busy with stuff so I made her chocolate chip (milk/semi) walnut cookies this past weekend.

We are baking with my kids the weekend after Valentines Day this year. Cupcakes and cookies. The important part is decorating, of course. Maybe I will get creative and do something else as well... Depends on how the weekend goes.

Good for you! I am sure your family will have a wonderful time baking with love. I exhausted my Valentine's day baking already.

Maybe it's time to do something else

Hi guys - hope you all had a wonderful Valentine's day.

I just came across another mexican herb that looks really interesting - like Papalo, it's been described as cilantro on steroids -

Pipicha (Porophyllum tagetoides) edible as fresh uncooked green; allow seedheads to dry on plants before removing them & collecting seeds; indigenous communities use Pipicha against bacterial infections, as well as for liver cleansing & detoxification."

Also called chepiche, escobeta, papalo delgardo, pepicha, pipitza, tepicha

This one has a picture:

Have you guys heard of it? It sounds pretty amazing.

Hello everyone!

Did anyone get to enjoy a special Valentine's meal? Whether it was for yourself, with friends or family, or a significant other?

I went out tonight and had a wonderful meal that had at least some Valentine's day influence when it came to the dessert . It was a strawberry infused chocolate buttermilk cake with whipped cream and german chocolate drizzle.

Unfortunately I had the 'flu, so no special meal, but I did get a box of chocolates! That has to count for something

That cake sounds wonderful! I hope you enjoyed it
