Answer a question with a question!

[dragnlaw]

Absolutely!
Unless it rains of course.
Do you have a Stove Top Grill?
Or even better, a Stove Top Smoker?

 

[simonbaker]

We do have a smoker, have you ever tried smoked whole eggs? Delicious!

 

[GotGarlic]

How about Cottage Cheese with pineapple chunks (canned of course) in a Lime Jello?
Maybe a ring mold?
Lined on top with cucumber slices?

What do you think this is, 1959?

 

[dragnlaw]

Smoked Eggs? Never heard of it but sure sounds interesting!
How does it work?

Aww com'on GG! it was just a couple of years ago!
Oh dear, I think my watch stopped. Does anyone remember how to wind a watch?

 

[simonbaker]

You cold smoke the eggs with a perforated cylinder.
Doesn't everyone use a phone for their watch?

 

[dragnlaw]

My phone has a watch on it?

 

[dragnlaw]

found it! should I get another colour?


(nasties wouldn't let me copy the pic, )

 

[simonbaker]

That's unique....
What's your favorite color?

 

[dragnlaw]

I'm a little partial to green, emerald green. Same colour as my scales. But there is blue too. deep garnet reds?

and you? deep blue-ish hues, with toasted tan to umber?

 

[simonbaker]

Sounds beautiful.
I'm more of a royal purple person. I like the purple fireworks.
Will you see fireworks tonight for the 4th of July?

 

[dragnlaw]

WOW, royal purple! Who would have guessed, I am humbled, your majesty.

Fireworks here in Canada were on July 1st, Canada Day. Known back in my time as Dominion Day.

How would you feel if July 4th were re-named as... ummm - Patriots Day or America's Day?

Wasn't 1959 a good year? Or do you think "moon-landing menus" from the 60s were better than jello molds? Do you still have your ring molds?

 

[dragnlaw]

Yes I do! Only one now, some how I lost my favourite one! How many do you have?

 

[simonbaker]

None for me, it was before my time, do you still use them?

 

[dragnlaw]

Rarely, which is a shame. Last time was for grandson's birthday - did a green mold with gummies of fish and whales, etc. Unfortunaely I didn't get the ratio of water to jelly right and the seas flooded over on the beach (cookie tray) was pretty funny.
But I often used to use it for tomato aspic - which I love.
It might be passe (with an accent) but still delicious.

Don't you ever make that?

 

[simonbaker]

I've done some chaux froid & aspects on turkeys & hams for display on large banquets.
Are you familiar with that?

Tomato aspic sounds really good!
Fun idea with the kids too.

 

[dragnlaw]

Is that with a clear gel on top of the meats?
I've seen but never made. would like to try one day (bucket list)

Nemo themed birthday - thought I had a picture of the drooping jello but can't find it. but these were what were supposed to be stuck into the "sea" except the "sea" spat them out...

Dollar Store jellies, crab was sticky-work. But they were too heavy.

I was just a wee bit proud of the cake though...

Nemo on top is/was a bathtub toy.

 

[simonbaker]

How cute!!
Love the cake! I'm sure it was a big hit!
Will you do a cake for Labor Day weekend?

 

[dragnlaw]

What a great idea! This DIL comes up with the greatest cake ideas for these kids, so I've not done a cake in a long while. Maybe I just might! I'd better start planning now, LOL, I'm not the fastest at decisions.

Have any ideas for me?

 

[simonbaker]

Maybe a red velvet turtle cheesecake?
