Scotland also has a seaweed industry. Where you have sea, you will have nutritious seaweed.
I’d imagine Japan does as well…
Absolutely.
My wife made cascione this evening, they’re a typical food from the Romagna/North of the Marche, basically a flatbread dough, filled with stuff, we made tomato sauce and mozzarella, and spinach and mozzarella.
Sorry about the crap photos…
ETA: misspelled cascione.
Looks tasty! Great work by the wife!
Thanks!
we made plenty, I will try and share some finished pics when we go for round 2…
I suppose drinks are ok?
I read about a scary study of tea bags Releasing large amounts of micro plastics 
then my kid’s fav tisane (Tazo Passion) stopped doing ice tea bags in favor of concentrates. Which were much more expensive and gross. The little bags took 5 to make 36 ounces at the preferred strength
Decided now was a good time to start doing loose leaf teas and tisanes.
I found out good hibiscus leaves are incredibly cheap.
My pretty new teapot. Tomorrow I hope to make a blooming tea. but they all have a bit of green tea in them and the kid normally consumes no caffeine. Evening is not the time to try it!
Whoops. Forgot the recipe.
Two teaspoons of hibiscus ginger blend
3 tea spoons hibiscus flowers
A scattering of chopped rose hips
The kid approves!
I think I’ll add a bit of mint next time
makes me wonder if finding iguana eggs is any easier than finding street chicken eggs.
we certainly have an abundance of both.
“Bread sommelier”???
Lol
We take bread very, very seriously.
Some weeks ago, I finally decided to get an air fryer, especially since they were on sale at the local electronics store. (Verkkokauppa.com if you’re interested; they’re a Finnish chain, and pretty solidly good, with the staff tending to actually know and care about the stuff they sell. [And yes, their name literally means “web store”.])
I started with the basic stuff: heating up frozen fries, making chicken wings, and similar stuff. Today, I tried some chicken breasts, and they came out very nicely, and quickly! (First six minutes at 190 C, flip the breasts, and then seven more minutes.) As anyone who’s cooked chicken breasts knows, they can easily get too dry, but that was not a problem this time. The surface was nicely browned, with some crisping especially at the thinner end of the breast, and the insides were juicy and soft but fully cooked.
All in all, a success!
yay!
air fryers FTW!
just finished another batch of my favorite crispy chickpea snacks .
crunchy, salty, flavorful to your individual liking as well as simple to make.
i’ll take them over crisps (chips) any day!
want to update that linked recipe for these chickpeas.
i have found (after many trials) that draining the tin, not rinsing, turn them out onto the absorbent paper-lined sheetpan. right then, sprinkle with kosher salt and the dry seasoning of your choice. i am using Jamaican hot curry and/or Hatch chlili powder seasoning. allow these to air dry for a few hours before bunging them into the airfryer. airfryer at 350F/177C for 18-20 minutes.
level unlocked! continue?
Gonna need to try that. My spouse loves crunchy and salty but is supposed to be reducing carbs. I bet he’d love these. Especially with some heat in the topping
