They look very skimpy on the guacamole don't they?

But they broiled it so it's extra yummy looking.

We ate our crappy poutine in the rain storm. At least one damn "FanJam" food truck was still open. It paled compared to yours^ but was delicious at the time.

Post-show food is alllways delish.

I made burnt peanut butter oatmeal cookies last night. I didn't notice until after the first batch in the oven that I had the temperature set to 450 degrees instead of 350.



Mmm, crunchy.

Careful with the mercury.

I can't believe I forgot to take a picture of my food from Kuma's Corner last week .


About to make a garlic chicken pizza. If there are pictures, you'll know it turned out alright.

 

[kramwest1]

Careful with the mercury.

No doubt. I only each a few ounces of fish per week. I wish I could eat more, but price, PCBs and Mercury all factor in. So, it's fish oil supplements for me.

That reminds me... The Monterey Bay Aquarium has a nice site for fish safety and sustainability info:

made cupcakes for Kellyahern and Bonocomet...they brought bootlegs, I brought them cupcakes

my neighbor wanted cupcakes for her mom's 80th birthday. So after spending 8 hours yesterday making 950 cupcakes for work, I came home and made 90 more Baking at home takes hours longer than at work but at least I get to do things my way. These are just marble (from a box ) with swiss vanilla or chocolate buttercream and carrot with cream cheese icing.

 

[arw]

2/3 c. oil, prefer virgin olive oil, vegetable oil, 3 to 1
2 cloves garlic, pressed or minced
1 lb. spaghetti, prefer Lupini brand or other Italian brand
1 1/2 tbsp. basil, dried
1 tbsp. oregano
2 tsp. salt
1 tbsp. coarsely ground pepper, or just regular pepper
1/2 c. (about 1/2 bunch) fresh parsley snipped or chopped
1 green pepper (average size or better), cut julienne 1 1/2" - 2"
1 red pepper (average size or better), cut julienne 1 1/2" - 2"
2/3 lb. Jarlesberg or hard Swiss cheese, cut julienne
1/2 c. half and half or whole milk
3/4 c. (1/4 lb.) grated Parmesan cheese (Kraft's in the can okay)
1/2 c. chopped pecans, prefer raw nuts that you've toasted in 400 degree oven 10 to 15 minutes & let cool
16 oz. can whole ripe olives, drained
Red wine vinegar, or other vinegar probably okay
1. Put the oil and garlic in 1 1/2 cups (or larger) container and let set. Add other spices while spaghetti boils.
2. Break spaghetti into 3 1/2" lengths and drop into LOTS of salted water and boil hard for 6 minutes, or until al dente. Strain it and put in BIG pan. While still hot, toss with 2 tablespoons of the oil-garlic mixture.

3. Pour half and half into oil/spice mixture, whisking at the same time. Toss with spaghetti after it's cooled down some.

4. Toss in julienne cut cheese and peppers and parsley.

5. Mix in 2/3 of the Parmesan cheese and 2/3 of the pecans and all of the olives. Add red wine vinegar and maybe more salt to taste.

6. Turn into serving bowl and sprinkle top with the rest of the Parmesan cheese. Serve at room temperature or just barely chilled.

this is sort of the recipe I used. Mine book is a little different, I don't use the half and half/milk or the parmesan, but everything else is the same. Very tasty.

Lobster Roll at the Daily Scoop in Kennebunk, Maine on the way to Moncton

Damn it was good. $11.95 which I thought was a good price.

 

[Earnie Shavers]

(Kraft's in the can okay)

Under absolutely NO circumstances is Kraft parmesan okay.

 

[kramwest1]

Fight! Fight! Fight!

 

[arw]

Under absolutely NO circumstances is Kraft parmesan okay.

um...not my recipe and I stated in my original post that I omit parmesan completely! I'm a chef so if I were to add something like that I'd shave my own from a block of parm instead of shaking something out of a can

 

[bonocomet]

made cupcakes for Kellyahern and Bonocomet...they brought bootlegs, I brought them cupcakes

My cupcakes!!! Edge was quite tasty.

I need to post food pics from my trip We had lobster rolls too. But my last day in Maine I went for the whole deal.

I think you already have my address for that thing you're sending me (hee hee - I love being cryptic so the internets won't know what we're talking about). So feel free to add some cookies when you send it.
