Which makes sense, but if I buy a block of the sprinkling Mexican cheese it always goes bad before I can use the rest.

I probably haven’t had the good queso fresco - but I haven’t yet figured out what the brands I’ve tried bring to the table in terms of flavor. It seems to be a bland white sprinkle on top of a lot of Mexican dishes. Can someone enlighten me as to its appeal?

I don’t follow anyone on TikTok so I have no favorites. But I do watch the ones my friends post on Facebook and those can lead you to other recommendations. 

Good on ya! I do keep trying. I know it’s good for you.

Even more than food, pet owners need access to affordable spay/neuter surgery. We have one small charity in our area that focuses only on working with local vets who will provide spay/neuter at a reduced fee - paid for or partially paid for - by the organization. They also focus on feral cat colonies. Once a month…

I’m so tired of Sacred Recipes. What is it with people just looking for reasons to get upset? I don’t eat pork, so I make carbonara with smoked sundried tomatoes (rehydrated and finely diced). It’s simple and delicious and the smoked tomatoes add a porky flavor. If you give one single shit that I call it carbonara -…

I love some brands of kimchi (as does my dog) - but the stuff at the local Korean market, they one they triple bag because you do not want that shit spilling in your car, is just too intense for me. I like milder ones that you can eat directly out of the jar. 

So cool! As a former shelter volunteer I can advise anyone donating food to check with the organization before donating. Many try to keep the diet consistent so their pets don’t have stomach and bowel issues from the food constantly changing. They may also have needs for specific toys or treats or litter. They always…

Southerner here, we never ate chicken and waffles. Or waffles, really. I wish we had! Big church or supper gatherings were usually a fish fry - with cheese grits, baked beans, cole slaw and hushpuppies. All cheap and easy to prepare and hold.

I was babysitting at nine. 

As the wife of a fisherman along the Gulf Coast, I can guarantee you a fish that big is going to taste like shit. We look for grouper within the limit but not much beyond. Snapper too. Big mackerel? No. They get mealy. Only good for a hard smoke. Netted mullet needs to be on the small side - unless you live in the…

I season the fish and then sprinkle it with the Wondra flour - skin side too, if the fish I’m using has skin still attached. Pan sear skin side down. 

There is always a bag or two of sweet corn in my freezer. Korean cheese corn? Yes! Corn and cornbread pudding? Yes! Mexican street corn salad? Yes! So many side dishes to compliment just about any meal.

I hope they released it. 

This is an interesting phenomenon, made personal by the purchase of our new home. We will be moving from a home with a kitchen I designed in 1993. White cabinets, black countertops, French blue walls, slate floors. It has aged well and still looks modern - though I’ve painted those damn cabinets three times.

I only use it for pan-fried fish - like Eric Ripert. It helps with the sear but doesn’t get gummy or heavy. 

I KNOW!!! I can now never be without them in my life again.

I’ve been eyeing that recipe too! I would add some dill and parsley at the end though. It’s not unlike a baked shrimp orzo dish in our rotation.

I watched the whole thing. There were too many people making really unrealistic decisions. Too many black people covering for a couple of white folks who are supposed to be worthy? of such protection, though I saw no such thing. Brian Cranston is always watchable and he acts through it as best he can, but no one can…

So Mars is actually one big Hot Donuts Now sign. Cool!!!
