As always, I have to be completely honest with you.

The reality is, that I have absolutely no idea,

what I actually ate tonight.

I can tell you this, it was very good.

Moments ago, I just went back and looked at the label, after I wolfed the meal down tonight.

I was very hungry after softball practice.

The label said something like Josh Rogan Vindaloo.

Now, I do know that vindaloo in Indian cooking has something to do with extra spicy.

And the dish was nice & spicy And clearly, it was Indian cooking.

I bought it from a reputable place. So, I sincerely hope and trust,

that eating this meal was not cannilbalism.

I hope Josh did not fall into the pot.

However, if that was the case, he certainly had......

good taste.

So many countries are planting plenty of trees. I wonder if there is enough water in the world for watering all the trees and satisfying the human consumption.

I have a coworker who loves talking about food made up to look and taste like 'real' meat. My question to her is why?
She said she likes the taste of meat but dislikes that it sacrificed an animal to have a meal and the horrible conditions of food processing.
So wouldn't it work if you squeezed something from a tube and fried it up?
Her answer was definitely not. It has to resemble real food.

While at the store thought I'd purchase a six pack of the pop just to see how it tasted so I bought some tonight to give it a try.It didn't taste to awfully bad.

After hearing about all its health benefits I decided to give it a lash Wednesday night.
Since my local butcher didn't have bones, fancy that a butcher without bones, beats me
but anyways, I decided to go with a chicken carcass, a broth and leave roasting marrow bone for another day instead.

After roasting the carcass for 40mins I then popped it into the slow cooker, an hour later I went to bed but not first without lifting the lid to give it a stir, yuck did it stink
hoped it taste better then it smelled.

After 12hrs it was done, after allowing it to cool I took a taste, not bad, at least its drinkable.
Have to admit there was a bitter taste which mad me question had I over used the apple cider vinegar or perhaps too much black corn pepper.

As the day went on I began feeling sick, all night long I had become very unwell, hardly slept a wink
next morning I had to ring into work to let them know I wouldn't be in.
At this stage the broth should of Gelled, it had not but instead there was what seemed like a cloud of some sort of fungus was growing within the jar, growing by the hour, still ungelled so at this stage I doubt it shall.

At this stage I'm convinced I've poisoned myself .....
but since you can't kill a bad thing, as you can see I'm still here
not rightly better but thankfully I've survived the worst.
Anyway......
I don't yet want to give up on bone marrow broth or roasting so if anyone is familiar with the recipe I'd appreciate anyone's advice as to where could I of gone wrong
I'm guessing the apple cider vinegar unless of the fault was with the carcass.

We stopped at the Asian Market yesterday and bought a few things. After a brief conversation with the woman at the meat counter, she went in the back and returned with the head of a salmon. My wife said we would have soup. Knowing what to expect, my only request was to cut the eyes out first!
I didn't want to know about the rest of the preparation.

Thanks to a great suggestion from Molly I watched several you tube videos on how to make cheese. It looked so simple. I ran to the store and got some goat's milk for goat cheese which my Daddy loves.

I thought I followed the video but my batch did not curdle like it was supposed to. If it did I would have taken the curds out (which is the cheese) and the rest of the liquid is the whey which I would have thrown away. HOWEVER, I learned the whey if very healthy and can be used in smoothies, soups or throw on plants for fertilizer as it is full of nutrients. I love learning stuff like that.

Well my first batch total failure except I made some liquid for the compost patch and I will save some for some chicken broth. I'm guessing I didn't let the milk get hot enough.

I have to take go pickup Mom for an errand in a little bit so I will stop and buy more milk then try again later.

It seems like I have to fail my first try everytime I try something new. pfffft

Mmm mmmmm! I don't know about anywhere else, but corn on the cob is a 'thing' here. Every year, we wait impatiently for those first ears of corn to ripen. The first corn on the cob of the season hit the outdoor kiosks this past week and is it ever good! I always frequent one family's kiosks as they only sell Jubilee corn on the cob, the absolute best and sweetest.

Even when I was a little girl, Dad & Mom would load all five of us kids up in the station wagon and head out to the valley (where I live now) to buy Jubilee corn. Sure, I've had other corn, peaches and cream, which is very prevalent here, but it doesn't compare to the Jubilee. The route I take for my bike ride is full of cornfields now, although I think much of it is 'cow' corn - completely different from the Jubilee, although I think the cows enjoy theirs as much as I enjoy mine.

I used to strip the husks off the corn and boil it like my Mom used to, but found barbecuing it in it's husk far more flavourful. That first mouthful of corn tonight, I'm sure my tastebuds were having an o*gasm. Juicy, super sweet, firm but not tough. There's absolutely nothing like it.

It looks like the vegetable du jour will be corn on the cob until we can't get it anymore (September), and I'm sick of it (I don't think there is such a thing). Tonight's dinner, bbq'd ribs and corn on the cob. Now that's a meal!

It's rainy and windy and yes I know it's only July, but I'm going to bake my Christmas cakes. Yes plural, I've nine to do, well it was nine until I went to the shops for some bits and now it's ten. So chop chop mix mix.
