Pecan Shortbread Cookies so good. I loved them with regular flour, rolled in powdered sugar when done cooling. Made for a light glaze and extra yummy. Since my Celiac's diagnosis, I make them with Pamela's Bread Mix & Flour Blend. Only item I have found to replace flour 1 for 1.

Go to Smokey Bones Bar and Fire Grill.

Order a draft beer.

Order a Hot Bag O' Donuts.

Enjoy the unexpected taste of heaven.

I keep meaning to try the deep-fried, bacon-wrapped, hard-boiled egg...but, I'm afraid it will explode in the fryer.

Discovered this combo last night: Pringles chips and raisins.

We sell black pudding Scotch Eggs; instead of sausagemeat, a thin layer of black pudding is applied to the egg.

We also sell fig & apple topped pork pies. Now I'm no pork pie fan, but these are yummy.

Part of my health kick is not eating any of the official wastage. For example we "face off" the ham & pate every morning & it is all discarded (and the pate containers washed.) All weighed as wastage, all discarded.

So I had been in the habit of sneaking a few tasters. Well you have to be confident when talking to the customers - it's that kind of place!

Thing is, I know the ones I like especially now, so have snacked on face-offs 4 out of 5 days a week. Naughty. No more. And no more "Display Until" pastry that was missed the night beforewhich is also weighed then disacrded. Growly belly.

Current faves it's hard to stay away from are not massively unusual, but not in every corner shop - Dry Cured Ham With Molasses and Scrumpy Cider and also Wensleydale with Fig & Orange Blossom Honey. I'm not a huge fan of flavoured cheese, but this one is good. And crumbly. And easy to pop into mouths.

A lot of those sound really good. I'd love to try the pork pie and the dry cured ham with molasses.

OK, I don't know how to remove that thumbs down sign.

I didn't click on that! I don't know why it's there.

Edit: Obviously, I figured it out. Because it's gone.

C'mon over to my place
Hey you!
I'll make you a deli plate...

[Gravdigr]

Well, it can't be good, it just can't be, but, damn if it ain't unusual:



Looks like skinned, diseased penisses penae cocks.

Well, it's not the most completely ridiculous thing I've ever seen... Gummy bears are just gelatin, dye, and sugar, gelatin being derived from meat bones in the first place and sugar being a common sausage additive. When you cook them the gelatin will melt and infuse the sugar into the rest of the sausage, leaving only the fucked-up colors to prove they weren't regular sausages to begin with.

I just made cherry juice gummies today, I'm half-tempted to try it. But I bet 90% of it just drips right out.

I want one. How do you make them?

[Clodfobble]

2/3 cup juice
1/4 cup honey

Mix and bring to a boil in a small pot. Meanwhile...

2/3 cup juice
8 packets Knox gelatin

In a wide bowl, combine all the gelatin with cold juice and mix thoroughly with a fork until you have an evenly textured blob of gray-purple goo.

Pour boiling juice/honey mixture into juice/gelatin mixture, and stir until completely dissolved. Using a small syringe (like the kind you give medicine to kids with) squirt the liquid into silicone candy or gummy molds. I use a total of 6 gummy trays that fill a large baking sheet.

Move the baking sheet into the refrigerator for 20-30 minutes, then pop the gummies right out and store them in a Tupperware in the fridge.

That's where I went. I bet the skillet wonders what it did wrong to get punished so.

Mine usually takes the form of sweet pickle relish spread into the sandwich. Grilled until the cheese melts and the PB runs a bit. Try chunkstyle peanut butter for a more robust texture -- fun. Let cool a bit before you bite it, though; the PB is retentive of its heat.
