When I was a teacher, I spent a lot of emotional capital sorting out the very few children in the year who did less well than they had hoped in their exams. Hence, I spend all my time worrying about the losers, which banishes any possible enjoyment. I just like food (really) and watching the things people can come up with. 1 minute ago, exlondoner said: What is Carnival Tower? If I'm not mistaken it's life size Jenga but Carnival is no longer partnered with Hasbro so couldn't say Jenga. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was worrying that it might be another double meaning that had passed me by. 🙂 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare jam19872016 Posted October 25, 2023 Author #2484 Share Posted October 25, 2023 Those were good and whatever was in that little dish gave them a little kick of heat. Tasty. Pincho de tortilla with pisto. My mom got mojo pork and sweet plantain. 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's hard to identify but I don't think so. Cinnamon is not sweet unless you add sugar. I'll get it again at some point sure so I'll see if my brain registers the flavor as Cinnamon. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare jam19872016 Posted October 25, 2023 Author #2486 Share Posted October 25, 2023 I couldn't remember if I liked that I just remembered it was not authentic to the pictures Google showed me when I looked it up. I remembered once it arrived. Love it. Very nice flavors, great onion rings with a generous proportion of bread to onion. It was also served piping hot which is icing on the cake to a great dish. For dessert I got the Bosque burnt cheesecake. 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I feel that way about American versions of competitive baking shows but the GBBO is different. It is a very friendly competition and they will even help each other out. It is one of my favourite* shows. (* note British spelling) 4 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare jam19872016 Posted October 25, 2023 Author #2495 Share Posted October 25, 2023 @MeganGC1983 Deck 9 Deck 8 Deck 7 looks good, but SRO. Deck 6 also good and had washers available. Didn't check the rest, but it's safe to assume these are the only two working. They were not all working before the dry dock either. Thankfully I did not need to know which ones. I sent off all my dress pants for washing not thinking about needing them for tonight. Hope I get them back in time for dinner or I will be out of compliance 🤪 6 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
