@Daisys and Diamonds, I just wanted to let you know I'm really sorry you've been feeling so unwell lately. You are definitely going through a rough time and I am also sorry to hear your ulcers are back. Sending you lots of good vibes and healing dust and I hope you're feeling better very soon.

Thank you Junebug
Im.myself really surprised at how painful they are

I have however discovered that bonjella teething gel is a miracle
Last night i couldn't stand it any longer, i needed to get bread and a few bits and pieces from the shop - but i had to rush in and buy the bonjella - rush out and apply it and then go back in to do my shop
it worked in about a minute !
It tasted yucky - im not sure if babies like the taste of aniseed but the releaf was amazing
And i was teally surprised eatting didn't wash it off

@Daisys and Diamonds, I'm so happy to hear you've found something that helps! And good to know too.

HI:

I have been enjoying The Chef Show. Tried a meatball recipe from the show (and partly from tips from an Italian friend) and they are unbelievable. Melt in your mouth. Only took me 30 years to get it right!
LOL

cheers--Sharon

So you've seen my chicken pho but have you seen it in my new bowl????

I love my new bowl!!!! I love pho but I'm even happier eating pho in a pretty bowl!

I have that Portmeiron set! I don’t use it that much because my mom and son scrape the dishes. I don’t want utensil marks! I use it for my lunch!

[Arcadian]

today I did the most disgusting thing ever and decided to have cheese from the can and mini prezels

I'm totally ashamed of myself.

Yes quail eggs! We Viets like to throw quail eggs into quite a few dishes!

No one is judging you here. We need to do what we need to do to get through these very challenging times! You enjoy what you want to enjoy @Arcadian !!!

Do you have mango season in your part of the world?

It's mango season in Australia so time for mango pudding.

Oh my goodness! We don't ave mango pudding here to my knowledge. Oh I want some! OK when it is safe for you to travel please come here and I will get you as much butter pecan ice cream as possible and perhaps you can bring some of your delicious treats too? I think this is going to taste amazing. Yummmmmmm.

 

[jaysonsmom]

I went from making Asian dumplings (potsticker/gyoza/mandoo) to American chicken and dumplings these last couple of days. Both were a hit!

 

[mellowyellowgirl]

Mango pudding unmolded.

It's is sitting in a pool of evaporated milk which may seem bizzare to non Asians but that's how it's served in most Yum Cha restaurants. I love evaporated milk so I have more than normal!

Halloween orange butter cakes

I looooove Nordic Ware. Words cannot express how much I love Nordic Ware!

I've got 2 mango trees so for me, mango season is March/April. Most of the trees do their thing around that time. Then they do it again around July which is also when we get soursop. I personally do not like mango, but many in my neighborhood do.

If you ever get a chance Arcadian I would love some fruit tree pictures (or any edible plant really). I think I love fruit trees as much as I love gems! It's just so exciting to be able to grow food!

Sure!! While green they're barren currently. (I'm in US Grow Zone 10b) You'd also love the neighbor behind me, they grow lots of stuff including passion fruit! My next door neighbor grows avocados (which I really like) so we trade fruit....lol And a home grown avocado tastes so much better than one from the grocery store (and sometimes even the farm stand!) Personally I want citrus trees instead of mango for the very simple fact that fleas hate citrus trees.

Oh I adore that nordic ware! We have to make everything gluten free, so unfortunately I don't think it would work for us. GF makes everything fall apart.

Mangos here are usually unripe and horrible but ive learnt to buy them if they come from Mexico because they arrive ripe and juicy
or just buy frozen
or out of a tin

What you don't have any fresh mangoes????

Your climate can't grow any????

Or you can get NZ mangoes but they are bad?

Noooooooo

We have mangos in the supermarket but ive learnt only to buy the Mexican ones
Noooooooo

I would think up north they might grow (my back neighbour has a banana) or in Gisborne
I don't even know what a mango tree looks like
first time i ate one i thought it was like a nectarine and one just bit into it
Almost fainted when i saw the price this week

 

[Daisys and Diamonds]

Had fish and chips for lunch after we voted

Tonight i made rhubarb and apple cobbler
we had it with cream
i think it was too acid for my mouth ulcers which were on the mend
but it was tasty

Should have made in blueberry as i think the red colour might have jinxed it for the next 3 years
