Thank goodness for fizzy water, fresh mint, fresh lime -- and in the bubbly drink a few floating frozen raspberries. Looking forward to tomorrow I would be to, Jeez !!

Classic Brewing Co Posted February 19, 2022 Author Share Posted February 19, 2022 I agree, I understand those wanting to fast, avoid meat & carbohydrates for health & well being reasons but surely there is something nicer than this. Tofu (豆腐, tōfu), also known as bean curd, is a food prepared by coagulating soy milk and then pressing the resulting curds into solid white blocks of varying softness; it can be silken, soft, firm, extra firm or super firm. Beyond these broad textural categories, there are many varieties. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I must have caught Vegetarian’s Stockholm Syndrome The first time I tried them was years ago in a Chinese restaurant, I didn't order any they were just in the dish which was beautiful but the tofu was the only thing I left on the plate. I have never had any since & I don't want any. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RDT2 Posted February 20, 2022 Share Posted February 20, 2022 (edited) Brined some chicken breasts then cooked them low and slow using the snake method on the Webber smoked with apple wood turned out delicious and moist will be doing again so much flavour.

stquinto Posted February 23, 2022 Share Posted February 23, 2022 Continuing with the veggie stuff, I knocked up some Indian: saag paneer and dahl.

I don't bother to buy anymore these days but I still look after them & use them for new recipes from different countries. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RDT2 Posted February 23, 2022 Share Posted February 23, 2022 Chicken wing pieces on the Weber using the vortex for high indirect heat. Also added a piece of my dads olive tree for some smoke turned out really nice 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I came across something like that in the garden the other day, a present from a neighbour's dog I suspect...

If I get at least three recipes from a book I consider it worthwhile. I still consult them even if I know the recipe. Reminds me of what the dish is supposed to look like if all goes well. Apart from books by Nigella Lawson, well, just look at the pictures anyway, whether there's food in them or not 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
