Daveywavey70 Posted July 23, 2020 #5401 Share Posted July 23, 2020 From that pic They are Cut far too small for roasties, their insides would all be wrong. An egg sized potato would be cut into 2. A Grapefruit sized cut into 4. They are more Parmentier sized. They have to be big enough so that the middle turns to pure fluff whilst the outside is still golden and crunchie. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thank you DW, love the practical examples, no metric or English units required. Will be trying to make roasties again. Your scallops look delightful. 19 minutes ago, Daveywavey70 said: the middle turns to pure fluff whilst the outside is still golden and crunchie.

Daveywavey70 Posted July 23, 2020 #5403 Share Posted July 23, 2020 That’s the secret QSS, A fluffy centre, a golden crispy outer and perfectly caramelised crunchy corners. The perfect roastie 🙂 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare Lois R Posted July 23, 2020 #5405 Share Posted July 23, 2020 Hi friends, this was a VERY Weird day....I felt fine up until about 4:00..........I made a bag of popcorn and not sure if it had gone bad but I got REALLY SICK😲....sick that I threw it all back up. I feel better now but definitely no apetite and just drinking some ginger ale. Did not eat anything for dinner. What a WEIRD thing!!!!!!!!!!!!! And I have a question.....I had started to type a reply on here and never finished it (I typed another one) but every time I come onto this thread, the OLD typed portion automatically shows up......I just type over that now but does anyone know why those old words continue to stay "alive"???? That is weird too! This box should be blank once you type a submit a reply. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This box should be blank once you type a submit a reply. Lois, feel better soon. If you've ever started a post and not finished it, closing your browser before hitting submit, your browser remembers the unfinished post and automatically fills in the reply box with that old text, every time you try to type a new reply. It is not a perfect system and sometimes I am surprised by what shows up there. To show you what I mean. While I was typing this post, I also opened CC on my phone, and started typing another reply to this thread. I clicked on the "reply" box and typed "test unpublished post" into the reply box, then closed cruise critic down on my phone WITHOUT submitting that post. Then I opened CC up again on my phone, went to the water cooler, and clicked again in the "reply to this topic" box. Picture below: See how it restored that text which I'd previously typed, but didn't publish? Somehow, your browser thinks you really want to publish that old post, but just didn't click on the right button! Easy to get rid of it. See the black bar at the bottom, which says "your previous text has been restored. Clear editor"? Just click on the "Clear editor" words, and your old post text will disappear, and not come back. Until the next time you unwittingly close CC without posting something...or the next time your computer THINKS you closed an unfinished post.

Hi JP.....I click on that clear editor thing every time....it disappears and then for some reason it comes back again. Very strange. I never fully log out on here.....I guess I could do that and see what happens when I log back in. Thanks for the help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare jpalbny Posted July 23, 2020 #5411 Share Posted July 23, 2020 (edited) Made some Ukrainian comfort food tonight. Notwithstanding the fact that it was 90 degrees out. Zrazy. I can't make the proper Ukrainian vowel on my computer; the last y is an English approximation. It should look like a backwards N but close enough. Ground beef with egg, bread crumbs, herbs, and some Maggi, of course. Kind of like a meatball, but sized like a large hamburger. Pan-fried then finished in a mushroom gravy. I served them with mashed potatoes. Really hit the spot! The other food (scallops, bacon, and potatoes) are really making me hungry. Maybe I'll have some ice cream for dessert.

Rare TLCOhio Posted July 23, 2020 #5421 Share Posted July 23, 2020 Things are busy, busy here at the Cooler. Need to jump off quick as our grandsons and son from Virginia are here at our home in Ohio. They are enjoying playing basketball with the new portable hoop we assembled and put up on the driveway. Our youngest grandson will be age eight on Monday the 27th. The other will be ten in early October. They grow up fast. Fun ages!! Below are a couple of "oldies" and their always interesting comments. Posted on the future SS cruising thread that Carnival's Princess line announced last night no cruises involving U.S. ports till at least mid-December. My guess is that more cruise lines, including Silversea, will be announcing such delays to sailing very soon. THANKS! Enjoy! Terry in Ohio Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zqtchas Posted July 23, 2020 #5425 Share Posted July 23, 2020 (edited) Let Me Be Frank…. The most expensive hot dog ever cost $169, and consisted of a foot-long smoked cheese bratwurst topped with Maitake mushrooms, Wagy beef, foie gras, shave black truffles, $250-per-ounce caviar, Japanese mayo, Teriyaki grilled onions, and a brioche bun. That restaurant is no longer in business! But not to lament…there is a ‘Haute Dog’ available at Serendipity 3 in New York City, which is grilled with white truffle oil and topped with duck foie gras and truffle butter, which sells for $69. Mmmm good… actually, you’ll have to tell me. Edited July 23, 2020 by zqtchas National Hot Dog Day July 22. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
