Mr Squid figured out how to cook the nopales!

oh yeah. it's on.

Jenne

They're not hard, I haven't done "fresh" yet, though...someone had already sliced/diced and I think pickled? them for us...

Sir Squid Diddimus

Oh my. Look what I made today.
My very first attempt at making candy and it actually TURNED OUT!
Fleur de sel caramels. Oh goodness they're tasty. Sweet but not too sweet and a touch of salt.
I had a thermometer and everything.
Awe  :)




BADGE OF HONOR

The Jerk On Bike rolled his eyes and tossed the waffle back over his shoulder--before it struck the ground, a stout, disconcertingly monkey-like dog sprang into the air and snatched it, and began to masticate it--literally--for the sound it made was like a homonculus squatting on the floor muttering "masticate masticate masticate".


Jasper

Looks tasty, but I am distracted by something:  What did you take the picture on?

Sir Squid Diddimus

It was a white ceramic plate and I used the flash and the "food" setting on the camera.

Jasper

It's kind of mesmerizing. 

Sir Squid Diddimus

I was astounded at how well that pic came out (I'm getting better at this photography thing)

The pics without the flash looked like little turds sitting on a plate. It was pretty unflattering.
But the flash totally washed out the plate so it looks like glistening caramels floating in white space.

Jenne

mmm...love that candy--had it during the holiday time, and I think at some specialty chocolate shop near us that makes Peruvian chocolate candy.  WANT, SQUID!

Tonight's dinner



Mr Squid's home made pizza with roasted eggplant and asparagus, sliced tomatoes, basil and cheese.
No that's not a Chimay it's a glass of Morimoto Black Obi Soba Ale by Rogue that my friend brought over yesterday. I'll tell ya all about it in my beer thread.

Today I went here


And had a giant dosa with dal


and some yogurt rice


and a mango lassi in a little plastic cup. This meal for one cost a total of 6 dollars. Hell yeah. The rice is sittin in my fridge waiting for breakfast cause it was too much food for me to finish.
Also, that mango lassi from the cooler in the crappy plastic cup (for ONE dollar!!) was the best lassi I've ever had. From here to New York.

Jasper

Lassi rules. 

Nice find!
