Dried Turkish unsulfured apricots and roasted almonds in light sea salt. Sweet, crunchy, and salty... Somewhat like an old Pay Day bar, but mo' betta'.
Fresh cut RIPE pineapple, in moderation, of course. Vegan Thai stir-fry, with fresh ginger, lots of California (spicy) garlic, kafir lime leaves, Thai green curry past, purple cabbage, carrots, broccoli and snow peas from the garden, and organic rainbow chard from the store, among other additions. Ran out of extra-firm tofu, so there's some alternative protein sources afoot. but QUITE tasty, all of it!!
ever eaten roasted pineapple before? got it at a Brazilian steakhouse once, absolutely LOVE it!
speaking of Brazilian food, has anyone here tried brazilian donuts! Man I LOVED those!!!
hope to try them. hell, the worst donut i ever ate was good...get them (big-ass pretzels too!) on saturday mornings at an Amish run store/food truck now & then. they pull them straight out of the fryer & give them to you on wax paper. oh Lord...
you gotta try them if you ever get a chance. - even though they look like a penis I´m not kidding! they really are phallic shaped and the filling goes right into the long middle mmmmmmhhhh they´re just delicious (sigh)
Had to look them up with Google;n they offered several different doughnuts of Brazilian origin, including a round, cream-filled thing that looked like a dinner roll with a bit of sugar dusted on it.
Then there were cinnamon type things ('tear drops'? 'rain drops'?) that looked like they'd been dropped from a spoon into the hot fat/oil.
And a third one, as well. Maybe more.
I questioned whether Mr. Google had actually been to Rio.
I'm late to make up more of my ''kitchen sink dry rub', strip the inner membrane from the various racks of ribs, and get them smoking; looks like a Friday AM smoking at this point. As long s they're smoked, chilled, wrapped in foil and plastic, and in coolers by the time the wheels lift off the ground on Saturday, noon-ish.
I never tried to google them to be honest. I´m just describing them from memory. I once had to go to Belgrave in London (where a lots of embassies are located) and it´s a really shit area too! I mean it´s mega expensive and posh but it´s so posh that I didn´t even spot a single newsagent or food and wine shop between there and the tube station.
Anyway as I was making my way from the tube there was a small mobile and lonely brazilian donut stand on the pavement. I´d never heard of them before and as I was kinda hungry I tried one even though I wasn´t really into sweet stuff back then and well... I just loved it!
I only had to go there maybe 3 times in total and sadly I never came across a place that offers these donuts again - to this day! ((((((( and I´m still waiting and hoping
smoked ribs sound lovely mmh
dammit, moose! you're gonna have every dang bear in 20 miles circling your camp, and probably have human visitors as well, lol. there just aint no place so remote that you can hide food like that ...
They received rave reviews. The rub has coarse sea salt, brown sugar (a sin in my diet), heavy black pepper, moderate white pepper, chili powder, a touch of cumin, cayenne pepper, turmeric, cinnamon, sage, fresh-ground nutmeg, lots of coarse thyme, yellow mustard powder, lotsa smoked paprika, a bit of coriander, and I forget what else.
Trying to stick to a vegan diet, so I rarely do them, but it was a treat for my friend out in the mountains.
We ate them over 3 days or so.
At one point I caught a tiny vole in the shed we use as a refrigerator this time of year, running away from a left-over rib in a tin foil wrap. I hesitated to squish the little bugger for the crime of having good taste, despite his trespasses.
