Just made a seafood soup using frozen shrimp from Argentina - it turned out good but the shrimp do seem a bit salty. Won't buy that brand again.

Good thing I took my amlodipine! Too much salt causes my hypertension to kick in

Anyone got any good recipes to use up left over Halloween candies?

Yep I do! (Halloween leftover candy lollies)

Take 3 hulking teenagers
1 twelve-year-old
One bowl of chocolate (minus all the Crunchie bars)

Method: see above

Result: you will be left with just the plain dairy-milk bars only, which then get eaten like chippies during a late night movie.

OMG - this looks like thinly sliced American smoked sausage with a zesty tomato sauce reduction (pronounced toe-mah-toe)

So my husband the finicky chef went out to buy some food. He bought boneless skinless chicken thighs and used those to make supper. This is normal for him.

What is also normal for him is to buy a can of Heinz spaghetti and eat that on the side.

We don't eat it - just him

Oh well - just one of his lovable quirks I guess

Josh and I had some brown rice cooked with red and yellow peppers and with ground chicken and some spices in it (and sauteed onions)

The strange thing is the above canned stuff is the only pasta Andy will eat

As a chef, he still cooks pasta, yes?  Or does he specialize in certain dishes and sticks to those?

Nope - he doesn't cook pasta (he did do it one night recently and I almost fell over with an apoplexy)

Does anyone here have one of those Nutribullet blenders?

We had one of these when they first came out and it sucked.  The blades and power were so weak, it wouldn't chop crap.  But maybe now they have more power?

I heard that you should use fresh fruit and vegetables rather than.... crap? 🤔

😁

No, we never had one...His Majesty always said that it's too easy to cram in more sugars/carbs into one meal than if you just ate one or two pieces of fruit or vegetables per meal... ah, yeah..okay...whatever. I do see his point, but I don't really care. 😄

.....they work pretty well now.....and I would suggest the nutribullet, cuz if you search out the silver bullet, you may get more than you reckoned for.......
