Thats the gravy prepared for tomorrows Christmas Dinner One for the carnivores and one for the vegans Turkey for the carnivores, mushroom Wellington for the vegans

I threw a meal on a couple of hours ago and it's about ready to eat. What makes it easy is the automatic stirring pot I cooked it in. Jamie Oliver HomeCooker HR1040/90 | Philips (http://www.philips.co.uk/c-p/HR1040_90/jamie-oliver-homecooker) The price on there is nonsense and it's meant to...

I have just prepared a Jerusalem Artichoke salad. I took a Jerusalem Artichoke, peeled it, shredded it, put it on a plate and squeezed a lemon over it. I have just eaten a Jerusalem Artichoke salad. I have no idea why I do these things but I thought I might ask the panel whether this dish can...

I have finally had enough, sufficiently to complain in public. There is absolutely no meaning whatever in the word cup, tablespoon or teaspoon other than as a translation into a unit of mass or volume. The pint, ounce, litre and gram exist for a very good reason - they're repeatable. I have no...

He clearly had a great time making this wonderful chocolate train and I admire his patience to create such detail. Belgian chocolate is delicious!

I prepared a rather fine peasant soup for two this afternoon, though I say it myself. Four flavor-packed small local carrots and a local onion all diced Julienne, fried gently for five minutes with a crushed garlic clove; then three sweet peppers, one Cumberland sausage and four slices of smoked...

Well, maybe not terrifying but it can be a little disconcerting to realize the fragility of a food supply at any given time. I would love to taste the Gros Michel banana but it seems I'll have to settle for a banana flavored candy Runt (I think that's a Runt that they show in the film.) He...

I found a promising recipe online for Brown Butter Chocolate Chip Cookie Bars ... I’m in! I printed it, gathered the ingredients and started making them this afternoon. It wasn’t until mid-stream that I realized the recipe called for them to be baked in a jelly roll pan. A what?? I’ve never...

Cotton candy was always a treat that we got at the local & state fairs when I was growing up but it's not something that appeals to me now. I remember it as sickeningly sweet even then but I ate it anyway! I enjoyed watching this street vendor create a flower shape and I can imagine children...

I LOVE these little orange beauties! I wait for them to show up at the grocery store each year and yesterday was my lucky day! They are so easy to peel and so sweet! I always assumed they were tangerines but I looked them up online and it seems they're in the Mandarin orange family. Who...

The price aside plus the fact that it's only served in the Maldives, I can't imagine that I would ever want to try this even though I love coffee. Maybe someone with a more sophisticated palate could appreciate it. Any takers? Black Ivory Coffee: Pooped By Pachyderms, Priced for Princes...

Locavores - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Locavores) Are there any locavores among us here at FG? I love the concept and I do my best because I think it’s healthier, it’s supportive of local economics and they say it’s better for the world environment in general...

I'm not sure where this is but the street vendor enjoys throwing a little style into his technique! I've never had hamburgers wrapped in egg before but it actually looks pretty good.

These children's reactions to what can be some shocking taste sensations are adorable! I still can't reconcile myself to anchovies but most of the others in the video I'm okay these days. Never had Vegemite though! I love olives but I'm thinking the little girl was given a green one which...

I'm pretty much thinking I'll have to make the drive over to the HOT Sacramento Valley before I have even half a chance at getting a watermelon like I remember from my childhood. All that's sold around here are those they call seedless, which really, truth in advertising should be called ...

There's so much contradictory nutritional advice floating around that it's hard to know what's what any more and even the "experts" change their tune depending on the latest trends or fads. What's good for us today is bad for us tomorrow it seems! As for the butter v/s margarine debate, I...
