After my evening workout at the gym (I starved myself for this dinner, usually I don't go wednesdays at 8PM but thursdays at 6PM) I had THE MOST GLORIOUS (and generously dosed) homemade Couscous (with homade extra touches such as puffed-up dried raisin, lamb and mergez) accompanied with a fine 2004 Riesling sweet white wine (of all things, normally you drink that with foie gras, but I'm not one for comfort.) And MAN! did that meal hit the spot. that is all. share your crazy mealtime adventures. I'll go into more detail about the couscous later, I'm off to bed.
raisins secs gonflés. I have no idea how to translate that and google's not being much help. You know how you take dried raisins... and then because you're a madman you put them in a bowl of hot water and let 'em sit there so that they get gorged back up with water? then they're soft AND delicious. I don't know if it's just my family that does that but we help ourselves to some (or butt tons like i did yesterday) in our couscous.
I'm not convinced that = best snack..... Personally I'd prefer a nice cheese and ham toastie or "Croque-monsieur" if your from France...
Not best. Bestest. Try it. Just don't overdo the Vegemite or you'll die from the salt. Also needs to be a hard crunchy cracker, not soft like Ritz. This kind: I use a different brand but I can't remember the name right now.
no I'm not sure actually. do you have a picture of what it looks like? I'm calling into question your possession of a cast iron mold https://www.google.fr/webhp?sourceid=chrome-instant&ion=1&espv=2&ie=UTF-8#q=bretzel
no it's just americans and english like to use french names on their own things I'll take a picture and upload it next time I cook some.
I see what you mean about the iron mould now I personally use the George foreman grill, achieves the same thing essentially
what I mean by "you should at least taste it once in your life" is "I'm positive you've never had eglantine" eglantine is a red bay on a spiky-*** bush (so you gotta want it really bad) that just tastes bitter as is (so you gotta be really frekin motivated) and you make a jam out of it. and then for some weird reason, it's the best damn thing that ever touched your palate. croissant just makes the texture in you mouth to go with it perfect.
sorry still learning english. although the default definition of jelly on google really looks like something different.
In English (as in UK English) that *is* jam, you are quite correct. I believe in the USA they refer to that as 'jelly' and what you or I would consider jelly they call 'jello'. Hence peanut butter and jelly sandwiches (I always thought that sounded strange till' I figured out they meant jam). What I'm not clear on is what jam means in USA, @squishypon3?
Jam and Jelly are similar, but jelly is much more squeezed and has sugar in it. No bits. Jam has no added sugar, and has bits of strawberries in it. Also it's not as pulverized So it's thicker. Edit: It's like the difference between apple juice and apple cider.
