I love to make a great presentation with Parmesan Cups. It is so easy;
I just got turned on to Anthony spices and I have loved everything I have seasoned with it. We are so proud to have them as a new sponsor. I made a great corn on the cob Mexican style.
The Dairy Council of Arizona is joining us today and I thought it would be fun to try my hand at yogurt cheese. I did variations and it was fun.
I started off with a big container of Fage 2%. I like the texture better than the 0% fat, but they both work. Wrap in a thin cotton towel and place in a colander or strainer over a bowl. Place in the refrigerator and occasionally ring it out so more water drips out. Read More→
Kathy from Rio Verde called and told us that she always buys lots of potatoes, sometimes 80 pounds worth. She cooks them up and freezes them. Especially her mashed potatoes. I have tried freezing mashed potatoes with no success, so she shared her secret. I will follow this easy methodRuth from Phoenix called in an loves the Greek salad dressing from the Barefoot Contessa, Ina Garten.
Would you wait 1 1/2 hours for a great burger? I sure would! That is what people do in NYC do for an old fashioned juicy burger at the Shake Shack. I have heard about it for years and it has been a restaurant on my “wish I could go there” list. I love sychronicity in life. I am going to NY this weekend and I was trying to figure out how I can waist such a short vacation standing in line at the Shake Shake and which family relative would be willing to do it with me, after all that is why I am going, to visit with family. I realizes this would not be my time to go. Then…… I was watching America’s Test Kitchen on PBS, I love the show and there is Chris Kimball, the host, in NYC interviewing people who are waiting in line. Then I struck GOLD, Chris with Kenji Alt from the Shake Shake showing us how to do it. All secrets revealed. It is a bit of a big deal to do, grind your meat, and I don’t mean chuck so get in a comfy seat and watch this segment. They also have a great segment on the easiest crispy french fries any one can make. I better run.. I’m going to get my boneless short rib and flat meat. See Ya! Let us know if you would wait or would you take the time to grind your own meat?

We were talking about instant potatoes today and the comment was, why use instant when it is so easy to do it from scratch? Then I remembered, MaryAnne from Scottsdale sent me this youtube of MaryAnne from Gilligans Island teaching us how to peel potatoes the easy way. It is a great trick. I did try it and it works. She still looks terrific! Thanks you, MaryAnne….both of you!What was MaryAnne from Gilligans Islands real name?
This day started again with a trip to the 7 Eleven in our Building in the Cerulean Towers in Shibuya. We got our coffee in the can and bought a few unique items. I had the fruit salad yogurt with grapes in it. Pretty good and a hard boiled egg that they sell at all the convenience stores.
Other Goodies
We ate our breakfast in the room and got ready for another day of the most unusual meals ever. Two memorable multi course meals and lots of walking.
