    Day before Christmas I made broth for pho. Hubs and I just ate leftovers from earlier in the week for dinner. Christmas day we had the pho for brunch, then we did Chinese take-out for dinner. The pho was fantastic.

    Do you use pickle brine in cooking?

    Usually about a week seems to be good but it depends on the vegetables. Things like peppers, cucumbers, green beans that are spongier, less dense are sometimes good in three days depending on how thickly they are cut.

    Coffee ... How Do You Drink It?

    Depends on the coffee. Lower quality is nice if I want flavored coffee. I like adding melty hazelnut chocolates into it, adding cream, milk, cinnamon, flavor syrups, or whatever I'm in the mood for. I also like steeping chai in lower quality coffee. The two work well together. For better coffee...

    Paklava

    I will have to try this recipe. I love the different varieties of paklava/baklava that I've had. Except for that one weird one that that didn't really have a filling and tasted kind of like soggy shredded wheat with overly sweetened honey sauce. I wasn't a huge fan of that one. I mean, it wasn't...

    How do you brew coffee?

    I have a few different ways I make coffee, depending on what I want, how much I want, and how long I want to wait. First and quickest is a small percolator that makes three cups of coffee. It's ok and I primarily use it to make flavored coffees. Second method is similar, we have one of the...

    I do not like the taste of beer. It's absolutely retched. Unless it's cooked in onion rings or or part of a cheese sauce for soft pretzels.
