Homemade beef and barley soup? Don’t mind if I do

I can make that.

 

[MickZagger]

I can make that.

Oh it’s my absolute favorite soup. I made it once with brisket. And I mean it was to die for

 

[crandc]

Made soup today, cannellini beans and butternut squash in a base of homemade chicken stock. Topped with pesto.

Homemade pozole was a first for me and turned out phenomenal

Delivered three dozen cupcakes.
Vanilla, yellow cake and vanilla buttercream
Chocolate, riff on Hostess cupcakes but taste good, chocolate cake, marshmallow creme filling, chocolate glaze
Strawberry, thawed a bag of frozen berries, juice boiled down and added to cake, berries pureed and added to cream cheese honey frosting.
Thought I might score one or two but none left.

Barbaco Cabeza
Back in the mid 60's we had friends from Mexico pass through Portland every year to pick apples in Washington and one year on the way back they stayed at my house and brought a cows head to bake. My girlfriend ate some but not me, but did partake with Acapulco Gold later that evening.

Essentially living here in Mexico and can't do barbacoa, but man do they love it here along with a can of Big Red. It's a weekend staple for many.

One Mexican dish I can’t get behind is Al pastor. It tastes like meat soaked in vinegar to me.

When I first visited the Philippines around 25 years ago I was introduced to a lot of the local cuisine. I enjoyed much of the food but the one thing that I would not try was balut. Partially developed duck egg embryos that were steamed. The men would often eat them while having "drinking sessions" along with the local tanduay rum. I will drink the rum but not the balut!

Oh man ... that's my go to taco order down here ... al pastor con pina y queso en harina ... dressed up with a little lime, cilantro and onion with a little line of spicy salsa!

Buried under an avalanche of artichokes. I eat them almost daily, steamed, braised, roasted and they keep coming on. I am bringing artichokes (and dessert) to Seder but that's another week. Giving them away is problematic because of the wildlife that hides inside. I soak in salt water, soak in lemon water, shake hard and remove chokes on back porch, shake hard again and still find bugs. They don't seem to harm anything, aren't eating artichokes, just hiding from whatever birds and others that want to eat them. But Americans tend to be squeamish about finding bugs in their food. What to do?

Canned artichoke hearts?

Canned artichoke hearts?

No. They aren't very good.

Marinated fresh sockeye salmon in the fridge.

marinated with brown sugar, soy sauce, a little bit of orange juice and garlic. It’s a family recipe and so good.

 

[crandc]

Sounds good!
