I can't find a decent translation or examples for collard greens. What are collard greens?

A hearty leaf green in the cabbage family.

Strawberry shortcake.

Grandparents came to visit the other day, and I've been dying for the shortcake my Grandma used to make when I went to their house when we had the day off school.

Close, but I need to find her recipe; store bought cakes just aren't the same!

 

[kikie]

Fruit smoothie.

Forgot to plan a dinner, so I quickly thawed and air fried some hot Italian sausage, cooked some pasta and made "midnight spaghetti". (anchovies & crushed red pepper with a ton of garlic in olive oil and butter, served over pasta)

Wish I had some capers to throw in as well, but I didn't have any.

 

[kikie]

Bread with raw honey.

For lunch I'm going to prepare whole grain spelt spaghetti with homemade spaghetti sauce.

with raw honey.

As opposed to cooked honey? Are there other ways to eat honey?

I translated it literally. It means that it is produced completely naturally. It is not industrial produced honey.

Raw honey hasn't been pasteurized and shouldn't be consumed by those with less-than-healthy immune systems. Raw honey can (not to be confused with "absolutely will") cause intestinal botulism, as the pasteurization process kills off bacteria that may have been present in the frames (liquid honey itself isn't a suitable growth medium for bacteria), and those whose bodies may not be capable of fending off the bacteria should stick to pasteurized honey.

Pasteurization also addresses the granular consistency common with raw honeys, and you can be pretty sure (it's still good to read labels) that honey in a squeeze bottle has been subjected to the process because it flows more easily.

Some say raw is better for you, but I haven't seen anything to support the notion. I keep both around because raw is easier to spread and pasteurized works better in drinks.

*kikie trows away his honey"



I'm not worried because my honey has more than one organic label and is tested before it is allowed to be sold.

I didn't realize people ate honey that hasn't been pasteurized! :yikes:

Honey is actually antimicrobial, so it's actually less scary to consider as an unpasteurized product than other things. That you can buy unpasteurized honey in a regulated retail environment is a testament to its qualities.

If that's the case maybe I have had it before and didnt even realize? I tend to buy honey without looking at labels.

It's hard to not be aware of it given the differences I mentioned to justify having both, but also because it tends to be indicated in a very conspicuous manner on packaging.

If you're the type who just reaches for what's cheap, it's also really easy to find honey that is of much lower quality--thin and pale--that has been augmented with gums, syrups, coloring and added sugars...or even products that have no actual honey in them at all.

Delicious pizza. Too bad I asked my father if he wanted some. He said yes.

 

[TexRex]

Sprouted wheat toast with cultured butter and raw honey--I was inspired--and a cup of black coffee.

 

[W3H5]

I dined at my favourite pizza restaurant this evening and it was divine.

 

[kikie]

It is that time of day again: morning when I have to come up with what I want to eat for lunch.

As breakfast, I'm having some bread with jam.

 

[W3H5]

As much as @TexRex and @kikie provide entertaining food related posts, I can’t help but miss Solid Lifter’s posts about his carnivorous appetite.

Edit: oh, I’m drinking beer, of course, because I haven’t quite mad it to rehab yet.

 

[Adamgp]

Dinner last night was some air fried chicken wings with some Famous Dave's Devil's Spit seasoning. Also some onion rings, also done in the air fryer.

Having an early Father's Day today, with our traditional brunch of S.O.S. with an egg on top.

 

[kikie]

Lunch was:

• Cauliflower
• A white sauce
• Nutritional yeast

 

[W3H5]

S.O.S. with an egg on top.

What’s that?

 

[Adamgp]

What’s that?

Stands for "🤬 on a Shingle", or creamed chipped beef (we use ground for convenience) served over toast, with a sunny side up or over-easy egg on top. Also plenty of hot sauce. My Dad had it almost every day when he was in the military and loves it so he requests it every Father's Day.

Would creamed chipped beef be like a patê or similar? Or like corned beef?

Oh my, now I’m hungry for a corned beef baguette.

Edit: or pretty much any meat sandwich

 

[TB]

Some Costco chicken bake thing the kids talked me in to.



High calories and not fantastically awesome so this will probably be my only one.

Salisbury steak…

Chicken off a grill…

Reheated, sauced up chicken…

👍

Chipped beef is a dried, smoked and salted, then thinly sliced. We (like most) find it easier to use regular ground beef. Then we add the peppery white cream sauce and serve over toast.

The end result looks like this:

(Not my pic, but this looks close to what we make)

Is that the same as what they serve at the food court (caeser chicken thing)? I think I tried one once and only ate about a third of it before I said screw it and bought a hot dog.

I've seen them on the menu but never had one in the food court but it certainly looks like it's the same thing. Just the packaged, cook at home version.

I didn't think it was terrible but won't be having another one.
