I speak and read fair Mandarin, have a Chinese girlfriend, use Google Translate, and search Tripadvisor and Lonely Planet before traveling. Seems to be working well so far.
A breakfast casserole like that where you can prep it the night before is perfect for a day like Christmas! I actually think these types of casseroles make a great addition to any brunch. To that add bakery fresh bagels and cream cheese and lox. ( whip the cream cheese and add fresh dill weed is even better) A fruit salad made of any fresh fruit available. And something with nuts. My Christmas nut roll would be perfect.
Damn, that's an impressive level of cooking, kudos.
We spent the day outside working too, mowing, assassinating dandelions, etc, but after that nobody felt like cooking so we ordered pizza and wings from a local place.It was a group effort. Hubby and I made homemade Chili. We made some toasted garlic buttered ciabattas; (Smart Balance with garlic powder as the spread).
We spent most of the day working outside on our property. It was warm outside, but by the end of the day a cool front came in and making Chili seemed like the thing to do.
We had takeout from our favorite pizza place too. Hubby has been tackling the dandelions for years. All it takes is a couple of people in the neighborhood with them and then it becomes everyone's problem. He has manually sprayed them and used the old-fashioned weed digger and manually removed them. He put down weed and feed in the spreader twice this year. The grass looks thick and lush but now he is complaining that he is having to cut it twice a week because he fed it so well. I wanted to get outside and work in the flower beds but I got a burr up a certain place because I could not find a place to put things away. It is bad when you buy a new sweeper and you can not find a place to store it. During the pandemic when there was a shortage of toilet paper, paper towels and tissues, Hubby every time he went to the store he would pick up those items. And even when it was no longer a problem , he still kept picking them up. He would store them on the floor in the pantry then he started taking over a very large two door, coat closet in the foyer. Anyway it turned into a domino effect where I had to re-organize the pantry to put everything away that belonged there. That led to the foyer coat closet where I had to find a new home for all the paper products which led to the bathroom vanities and the linen closet to reorganize them to to find a place to store them. The new sweeper now has a new home but what a road to get there. The burr is gone and all is well two glasses of wine later.
What are Bombay potatoes?
Basically spiced up spuds...loads of recipes online , sometimes called Bombay aloo.
YUM! Thanks. I'm making those this week.
I think I've seen it in cans at the grocery store.
This is the first time I have ever heard of Swiss Chalet sauce so I did a search and found a copy cat recipe for it. With all the ingredients listed in the recipe, it certainly isn't lacking any flavor.
