I made my own mix of rice vinegar, fish sauce, and a touch of sugar. Marinated it for an hour. So it’s a light pickle. I don’t really stir fry it but mix it last into the shrimp + sauce mixture.
It’s a dish served hot @TheGarnetGirl but I don’t see why it can’t be a dish served cold either. I’m going to set aside a bit and eat it chilled tomorrow as an experiment!
Whyyyyyyy did I come to this thread & see your scrumptious looking cake while im fasting....whyyyyyy
Why did you come to this thread at all if you're fasting?
Thinking about cucumber/shrimp is thinking about food, and undermines your resolve to fast?
Pics please @Daisys and Diamonds
I went through a phase where I was fascinated with toad in hole and toffee as a child.
And blancmange
Hehe too many British boarding school books
Tonight im atempting toad in the hole
i know nothing about tradional uk fare - i don't even like triffle, my grandma used to make Yorkshire pudding but mum never did.
I got some pork sussages and i brought some Texas muffin pans and i reserved some bacon drippings, i brought some dujion mustard but i forgot the red onion
Im not making the onion gravy because English gravy always looks thin and unappealing
Wish me luck
thank you, i will keep this in mind as it seems to be very important
This is what it should look like @Daisys and Diamonds , remember the secret is to make sure the fat is smoking hot before putting in the batter, so it seals it and will then rise.
@Daisys and Diamonds it's fascinating what makes a fussy eater.
I had a nightmare baby. Hated breast milk, hated formula. When he started solids, if he didn't like something he would throw it up (and he didn't like a lot of things).
The first year of his life I cried about his consumption of milk/food every day.
For three years I sat him on my lap during every meal and offered everything under the sun to him.
After three he simply turned a corner and was like a different child. Ate anything and everything. I cook things that were past their prime and he'd polish it off to help me clean my fridge.
He picks out the best cherries/berries for me because according to him "You are a difficult woman when it comes to fruit and I can't really tell the difference"
So it's always fascinated me what makes a fussy eater. Mine was certainly born like that but I have no idea why he changed. He's got his preferences but is one of the easiest kids to feed. Eats a wide range of food including vegetables (will chopstick battle me for sauteed green beans). Will try anything and if he doesn't like it will try it again every few months to give himself another chance including things I don't want him to try because I don't want to share .
