Happy Mutants Food and Drink topic

Just kind of a standard hamburger bun - make it with half water and half milk, an egg, some oil, sugar… I rarely have sesame seeds on hand, so I put some garlic salt on top after I put on some butter before baking. It is a pretty solid bun, so works well with a sloppy joe or BBQ sandwich…

@gyrofrog - thanks for recipe! It looks yummy! I’ll give it a try sometime soon!

I bought a huge ( 3 foot? ) bag of South Korean popcorn.
It has a little bit of salt and sugar on it.
I miss butter though.

Served with olive oil, butter, pecorino cheese and pesto.
Very interesting flavor. Will try again. **** out or 5.
Perhaps a different sauce next time.
Cheers

3 feet of popcorn? Or puffed cereal.
Perhaps overstated. Today I found one half that size (bigger circumference) 15” long to try.

Not feeling very happy, tho.

Maybe seeing what everyone posts from their grilling tomorrow will cheer me up.

I am remembering what the 4th stands for.
I think we deserve that feeling again.

Hope you share whatever you make!

Personally i don’t have any plans made for tomorrow, but will see what my partner wants to do. At the very least i’d like to make myself some cocktails.

and @mindysan33 ,
right? no big plans for tomorrow, just another day. i have no interest in celebrating flag waving, rah-rah 'murca now.
i reckon i’ll do what @Docosc said in another thread - go work the gardens and in the shop. try to not dwell on what has just happened - just try to heal a little from the shock and pain of the realization that tomorrow is a birthday party for a dead entity.
i may find some heart in grilling some burgers with my neighbor, but mostly just being outdoors and then, around sunset, get all the kittehs into the house for the night to keep them safe from the bang-boom yahoos. maybe we’ll group cuddle on the floor and watch a lighthearted foreign flick.
i’m in no mood…

Strictly speaking this may not be the most appropriate thread, but we can safely assume Beef Wellington will be off the menu for a while in Australia.

Little Gem Lettuce. So yummy.

From the InterWebNets Dr. Google:
Little Gem lettuce looks like small-size romaine. Although it is full grown, this specialty romaine variety is about half the size of regular romaine.

I just washed it for Laurie, she hasn’t allowed me to assemble a full salad.

There is a scene in The Taste of Things where they cook them. It looks amazing.

That film is pure filth from the copper cookware to the outrageous sauciness of the plats de résistence.

The kitchen just looks amazing.

Sorry; the poster does it better.

See, I wasn’t sure whether to take “pure filth” at face value
