I'm terribly addicted to chocolate, and have to tip toe around it. Nutella and the like is out of the question. We have a street food here, that is a big, sweet crepe, buttered with Nutella and rolled up. Way too rich.

Happy birthday, Datlas.

Happy Birthday [MENTION=107711]datlas[/MENTION]!
Do you want a yellow chihuahua for your birthday? I happen to have an extra one lying around. No microchip on the little dog I found this morning. No one seems to be looking for her. She is very overwhelmed and finds everything very scary. Our little Doglet can NOT stand it that this dog is in the house and does not want to play. She's slathering on the charm with every fiber of her being, but the chihuahua is like "WTF this world is scary, leave me alone". Hmm I'm not sure where all this is going. Nowhere much so far. |
:bday:@datlas

Gift given Bulova for me. I'd rather have a fit poop or an apple poop or a garmin poop so I can get some heart rate tracking and fitness steps etc.
I think I've seen one millennial with a Rolex or 'better'. I don't think this gen cares much for watches, if at all. |
Happy bday to [MENTION=107711]datlas[/MENTION] and congrats to [MENTION=351576]Heathpack[/MENTION] on the new dog!

Forgot to mention: taxes done and filed. $3,000 refund applied to April estimated taxes for 2017. Refund a bit of a surprise, but we actually didn't go as far over budget last year as usual. I still can't figure out why. It wasn't from a lack of trying. :innocent:

Anyway, I dislike hazelnuts and I think it has hazelnuts in it. Right? Suffice it to say that I won't touch it. And if I won't eat something, you know you shouldn't even consider it. I will say that many competitors have entered the market from the major American food companies. They are based on hazelnuts or also almonds or peanuts. The peanut butter companies and Hershey for example. From what I can tell reading the labels the new products are far superior to the original. You should try them. . |

Yes, it is ground hazelnuts in vegetable shortening and sugar with a little cocoa added. Frankly it is the sweet equivalent of Velveeta. Pure crap. But it is so widely loved, that kind of talk could get me tarred and feathered and run out of town on a rail. Hey Biily, talk about processed food!

In essence, you are asserting that here we now have Americans trying to teach Italians how to eat? Balderdash! Wait right there. I'm going for my bucket of tar and sack of chicken feathers. :crash: |

You should have them in Italy. They don't do anything American-style deep dish there. A wonderfully buttered crepe with just a light coating of Nutella! Delizioso! :) |

:) ikr? The first month or two of her life she was always crying, sometimes very, very loudly. I thought that we were in for a long, bumpy road. Then she turned a corner and now she absolutely lights up at the drop of a hat - it's great.

BBQ smoked over oak is a poor imitation. And the fruit and edible nut woods are cute but meh. Hickory is the real deal. The best flavor without any extremes. But if you really like a powerful, acrid smoke flavor, then you must have mesquite. And the place to get it is...drum roll, please,...Ta Da...TEXAS. BBQ taste, like everything else is just bigger in Texas.
More blathering and absurdities on matters culinary. More Tejano pomposity. |
Congrats [MENTION=351576]Heathpack[/MENTION] and [MENTION=107711]datlas[/MENTION]

Actually, I spend a bit of time in Texas. You're actually not far off the mark with that mesquite theory of yours. :)

We have a young couple staying with us for a few days. Both professional chefs, traveling through Mexico learning the cuisine. They're begging us to let them cook for us. We just had an excellent evening meal.
|
What did they cook for you?
