    How do they put photos on cakes?

    You need special edible paper and edible ink. I suppose you could do it on your home printer, but it wouldn't be very sanitary. Places that print edible pictures have dedicated printers just for food.

    What happened to Starbucks???

    The lingo doesn't bother me, but I do think it sounds a bit affected. I just don't like their coffee. I think it tastes burnt. I grind & brew 1 pot in the morning, and I have 2 cups of Eight O'clock. The rare time that I order coffee out, I choose Dunkin. Their's is good.

    Anniversary dinner ideas?

    Hot about a pork tenderloin? You can dress it up with some cippolini onions in balsamic. It's inexpensive, simple, and kind of "dressy". I can post a simple recipe if you want.

    Best brand of bottled orange juice

    I get Indian River Select - Valencia. I'm not sure if you can get it outside of Florida. I live near Tropicana. It sure STINKS when you drive by. But they do import much of their juice from other countries.

    Just Curious... How do you watch your Cooking youtube videos?

    I don't watch them - ever. In my opinion, they are usually a bunch of folks who don't want to get real jobs, trying to make a living off the internet. Most times, these wanna-be 'influencers' don't have any real cooking skills or training. Just looking for a way to make an easy buck on ad...

    Are my shrimp ok

    If they are kept frozen, they won't actually spoil. But the quality will deteriorate. "Freezer Burn" doesn't make something unsafe, it dries out the flesh and messes up the texture. So while they won't harm you, the shrimp may seem dry and/or tough. Vacuum packaging or other airtight method...

    Liver and onions anyone?

    I LOVE calf's liver. Although I don't usually cook it with onions. I prefer a fruity gastrique, especially cherries and almonds.

    The Sick Room

    I just had my second eye done last week (the first one was 3 weeks earlier). At the surgery center, 2 different people each made a mark with magic marker over the correct eye (both the nurse and the surgeon). It was extremely difficult to wash off later, especially since I couldn't get water...

    What Are Your Other Interests?

    I study wine. I used to knit, sew, crochet, needlepoint, etc. My fingers no longer work like they once did. Years ago, I took piano and organ lessons. Now that I'm retired, I hope to take up the keyboards again. I used to play golf, but its been many years....

    Consistency??

    No. A super taster often is seen as a “picky eater”. They have many more taste buds per sq inch in their tongue, and they are usually extremely sensitive to heat, sweet, sour, etc. they often prefer their food on the bland side. They rarely make good sommeliers. Super in this case is not...

    Mexican Wedding Cookies v Italian Wedding Cookies

    Over ground - over mixed - over baked. And always use fresh nuts. Any nut will do, but the flavor will be different for each nut. I usually use almonds or walnuts. We all have our favorites. What nut was used in the ones you had at the market? Don't pulverize the nuts. You are not...

    Bamix

    I have a Bamix . Before that, I burned through 2 different immersion blenders. The Bamix has never failed me. I’ve had it about 10 or 15 years. I would never buy anything else

    What type pan do you use the most?

    For the style of cooking i do, I could probably do most things with a good skillet and a mid size saucepan, and those are the two I use most. Like everyone else here, I have quite an accumulation of pots and pans. But these days, cooking for only 2, I frequently just sear the protein, a...

    Hello Everyone

    WOW! Renowned! (how come google has never heard of you?) Over a decade! (most of us here have 5,6, or 7 decades of experience.) Another wanna-be "influencer" looking for clicks. Sorry, but I've gotten rather cynical of all these folks trying to make money on social media instead of...

    Mexican Wedding Cookies v Italian Wedding Cookies

    In the US, the terms are interchangeable. We also call it confectioner's sugar. In other countries, that may be different.

    Easter lunch/dinner - 31st March 2024

    That last person I knew that drew a distinction between the two was my great grandmother. I think think it's a pretty archaic difference.

    Mexican Wedding Cookies v Italian Wedding Cookies

    Snowballs, Mexican Wedding cookies, Russian Tea cakes, Butterballs, Italian Wedding cookies, and other are all names for the same thing. They are a small ball shaped cookie, made primarily of butter, sugar, ground nuts, and flour, baked then rolled in powdered sugar. You can use walnuts...
