What sort of goodies should I try?

1. Have a week of fun.

Caviar and smoked salmon with champagne.

[BikeWriter]

2. Mmm, that sounds good!

I am eating shrimp and oysters wrapped in bacon with a slice of jalapeno and batter-fried for breakfast! :)

[imenja]

3. Wow, wish I was there

Sounds like you're an awesome cook

[BikeWriter]

6. I'd share. They are very good!

They're delicious done this way, but without the batter and smoked or barbecued, too.

[all.of.me]

15. god, that sounds great!!!

how industrious of you!

[Richardo]

19. How far are you from the Galleria, BikeWriter

I can be there before the oil cools! :9

4. Can I reccommend my QUICHE?

It's spawned my most-popular thread EVER! (and it's yummy, too!)

[BikeWriter]

7. I love good quiches.

The people who say real men don't eat quiche have never tried my shrimp or crawfish pie!

5. sushi

You like fish and hot spices ... wasabi and raw ginger are both kickin :woohoo:

[BikeWriter]

8. Thank you. My backyard is half full of ginger. I may try that this week!

[freebird1]

9. Take care to wash well after handling raw ginger

and only harvest a very little as it is best when it's not out of the ground over a week - you will be using the root.

Wash your hands throughly after handling. *** very important*** keep your fingers away from your eyes or any sensitive spot !!!

[BikeWriter]

10. Thank you for the tips! I have tons of the stuff.

:)

[freebird1]

11. let me know how you like it

It also makes a great tea mixed with lemon and honey B-)

[BikeWriter]

12. Mmm, that does sound good!

I'm a tea sort of person. I quit coffee years ago, except for a cup now and then with Kahlua and Irish Bristol Cream. :)

[freebird1]

14. My friends add echinacea, goldenseal and cayenne

to the ginger tea mix if we feel a upper respiratory itchy feeling. I've only had one cold in years.

Gave up caffeinated coffee a month ago. But I do love the taste of coffee. In the colder winter months - I've been known to add a wee bit of brandy or Kahlua. Back in my Kingsboro College days, my boyfriend became fond of adding Kahlua, Tia Maria or coffee brandy to his morning coffee:woohoo:

[BikeWriter]

16. Those all sound good, or a wee drop of whisky, to make it Irish!

[freebird1]

17. LOL

adds a different kick to the coffee and sugar boost:donut:

[BikeWriter]

18. I think I'll have some Irish coffee without the coffee! :-)

[freebird1]

20. I think I'll join you

but I'll have a fuzzy navel instead ~ it's a bit too early in the day for straight shots for moiB-)

[BikeWriter]

13. I just opened a 10 oz. can of smoked almonds...

I'm wondering how long they'll last... :shrug:
