Sorry MaryP, I don't get it. What's a hotdog w/meat sauce? Is it like a chili dog?

 

[Lovebug]

We had a hefty breakfast, an omelet with eggs and aqua fava (bean water from the can but that doesn't sound fancy enough), spinach and mushrooms, a slice of homemade bread and fresh peaches.
So we had Nutella and apple slices for supper. We both nibbled on the tomatoes from the garden t/o the day.

 

[Lursa]

BLT on an English muffin, minus the L&T, and coleslaw.

I've seen aqua fava required in recipes and dont get it. I rinse the heck out of those suckers when I use any canned beans.

Is it as a thickener?

Yes, without the chili.

I just drain the beans and whip the drained liquid like egg whites. I've only tried it with chick peas.
Oh, and I always misspell the stuff (because of fava beans, I suppose), it is faba not fava, sorry.

Everything you need to know about baking with aquafaba, the miraculous vegan substitute for egg whites.

I watched a contestant use it on the British Baking Show and had to try it. That's when I discovered how well it works with eggs to fluff up omelets.

I knew what you meant! I ask because altho I dont find it appealing, I hate wasting stuff like that if it has a use. For instance, I have some recipes that call for draining diced tomatoes first. So...I dump the juice into a baggie and freeze it, to add more tomatoey liquid "someday" if needed

I screwed up and posted my breakfast in the dinner thread. Oh well.
Dinner tonight was air grilled honey bourbon marinated salmon, Spanish rice, and string bean, cherry tomato, onion, roasted red pepper strips, and feta cheese salad with Greek dressing, iced tea.

Mexican chicken enchilada casserole, refried beans, Spanish rice. - Cherry cobbler for later -

 

[weaver2]

Last night's Costco ham was really good. Kids came over and we made gin and tonics. So we are having the leftover cold ham with potato salad, leftover bean salad tonight and considering a gin and tonic. Also thinking about something for dessert.

 

[Lovebug]

We had Gimbap with pickled radish, spicy tofu and carrots. Chopped cilantro and green onions made it esp refreshing.
My rolls are not quite as tight as they could be but it works.
Husband made his dipping sauce with PB, I opted for fresh ginger.

I make fresh spring rolls sometimes when I'm cooking Thai. They are good but I can't get them rolled so they are tight instead of limp a wobbly. There must some secret to doing it.

Make sure your surface and hands are dry and be fast. I do a burrito type roll on them.

It's great for soups, tomato sauces, marinades and vegetables. And did I say Bloody Mary's?

Wut?! I need more info.

 

[Parrish]

Brunswick stew and a Smithfield ham biscuit. Black and white cookies. Ice tea. Note: I know most people call it iced tea, where I'm from its just called ice tea. Just being true to my roots.

Dump it in. Be creative

So it's a thickener? Does it add flavor?

Do I want my Bloody Marys thicker? LOL
