What are you eating?

[Wanderer]

It's not "cookies" in general, but certain types of cookies, particularly those with chocolate.  Rich chocolate cakes or brownies are better with milk, too.  Try it and see.

I see. The only things I can thing of that require milk are those succulent chocolate soufflés; you pour the milk, devour and be full for the whole day. Otherwise, too weird. How does it even work, bite-sip-gulp? Or do you eat the cookie first and have the milk afterwards?

First: You have to consider and imagine Milk as calcium enriched water.... roughly of the same texture and taste. The most it has in common with actual milk is its name.

Nice!

Whichever you prefer.  Some people like to dip cookies into the milk.  I tend to eat a couple of bites of cookie, then drink some milk, then more cookie, and so on.  Another peculiarly American thing I love--probably my favorite snack for the past 50 years--is a peanut butter & jelly sandwich with milk.  The preferred method of consumption requires a bite of sandwich followed immediately by a swig of milk and then it's chewed all together.

I made my regular bowl of oatmeal this morning but as we are out of cinnamon I had to improvise. After the usual honey milk flax seeds i stuck some M&M like candies into it and it turned out great...it was delicious gave me a good mood, and gave me certain other things... benefits...

Try it!

Allan, ever since I came to this country I fell in love with this typical American dish and have tried to make it, unsuccessfully. My stuff never tastes as delicious and yummy like the stuff made by the friends who invite me to their home. To add to the frustration, they simply shrug their shoulders: "Nothing to it, easiest meal to prepare." Oh yeah?

Do you use the packaged biscuit mix or do you start from scratch? Is the secret in the kind of chicken you buy? I did notice that the stewing hens in a store don't taste any more as they did years ago, just plain old hens out of the egg-laying age.

Oh well, it's too hot for chicken and dumplings anyhow, a cold-day-dish, like Sauerkraut. It's 98° right now!!!!!

I've made falafel 4 weeks in a row.

Week 1 it came out perfect, fantastic, delicious.

Week 2 came out perfect, but with less taste

Week 3 the balls were cracked and gave me heartburn

Week 4 the balls completely broke apart and made a huge mess.


I am getting worse and worse at it. I will try next not cooking the chickpeas and just soaking them. And I'll try egg instead of flour. Also I've heard some people roll them around in sesame seeds, I like sesame seeds. I'll try that sometime.

Lis,

It's not really something I make all that often.  What I did was stewed a 3lb chicken for about about 45 minutes or so. About half way through I threw in carrots, onion, bay leaf.  I took the chicken out, let it rest a little bit then shredded it up, meanwhile preparing the dumpling batter of just eggs, flour butter and water and added bacon to that.  At the time I was wishing I had tarragon to throw in.  Then I threw the chicken back in the pot, added a little cream, thickened the broth with some roux and spooned in the dumplings.  Nothing to it, easiest meal to prepare!!!  

I would like to try stewing the bird in some stock or some stock and water to try and get a richer flavor, but like I said it's not really something I make all that often.  Unless it is just unavailable to me I generally try and use birds that are organic and sometimes free range.  I try not to use prepackaged foods....I generally find that the results are way better when I make it myself.

Allan: I solved the secret of those different chicken and dumpling dishes: Whoever invited me for their dinners used packaged bisquit mix, they didn't make dumplings, they made bisquits! When I tried it I made dumplings using the same method I use making my spätzle, the same dough you use for your dumplings, except butter, that's not in my Spätzle dough, nor is the bacon!

There is a difference between dumplings and bisquits!

Thank you!

Sure looks like those "Highlander crisps" are flowing from the three porta-potties in the upper left corner.

What next?  Haggis flavored?
