Blog Entries: 7 | Re: General Food Talk a couple weeks ago I had a ham and brie sandwich at a local deli and it was fabulous. It was served on a croisant. So I bought my own croisants at the grocery bakery, some maple ham from the deli and I've been enjoying my own version I add a touch of dijon mustard (no mayo) and some boston lettuce and they are FABULOUS sandwiches. I thought I would share. I also just LOVE Boston lettuce. I think it's been YEARS since I bought plain iceberg lettuce. Growing up, salad in my house was a wedge of iceberg and some salad dressing. Now that you can get so many different kinds of lettuces, I've quit buying iceberg at all. I prefer the darker leafed lettuces. Especially the Boston kind.

| Re: General Food Talk I don't care for iceberg anymore, either. It's so tasteless compared to all the other greens you can use in a salad! I've been stuck on baby greens/spinach salads all summer. Yum.I was wandering around that foodgawker site someone posted and ran across a blog telling how to make your own vanilla extract - and that they bought the beans on eBay, of all places. I never thought to look there, but the prices are better than my local grocery stores, which are sadly lacking in gourmet anything. With baking season coming up, I just might buy a batch of eBay beans and try them out...I'm a vanilla nut anyway. ![]()

| Re: General Food Talk I prefer butter lettuce it makes a nice presentation with a scoop of tuna salad, chicken salad, shrimp salad or crab salad on top. Waywrd - they sell whole vanilla beans at Costco for a decent price. I found out the hard way that you have to use them up before they dry out!

| Re: General Food Talk Wayward, Penzy's sells vanilla beans cheaper as well. I've thought about making my own vanilla extract as well, but I can get it so cheap at Penzy's that I just use theirs. Their vanilla extract usually has a couple of vanilla beans in it as well. | |

Blog Entries: 7 | Re: General Food Talk Thanks Marleybone. I know that if someone posts a recipe and there is a question about it or an adjustment to it, it makes more sense to have it in the just recipe thread as someone may miss the discussion about the recipe (like reducing the water in the pot roast) if they only look at the recipe thread and not this one. I know that sometimes I have questions about a recipe someone posts, so we can indeed ask for a clarification of an ingredient or a way to possible change things if we need too in the Just Recipe thread?

| Re: General Food Talk Last night I baked some chicken for dinner and had my neighbors over. Without mr buglover I'm feeling needy to serve food to people! I keep saying, I'm in need of being needed right now. It was delicious chicken, nothing fancy but really good.

| Re: General Food Talk With all the talk about crock pots/slow cookers around here, I was inspired, so I just ordered one online! I paid a little extra and got the one where I can brown the meat on the stove right in the pot itself, too, so fewer dishes! I'm excited for it to arrive! |
