    Spam - the kind you eat

    He he....you can get hot dog sushi in Hawaii too! Plus beef teriyaki sushi with spam in it! You just have to shut off the "ewe gross" radar in the brain and put it in your mouth and then YUM! Personally I don't think Spam is any yuckier than hot dogs. I don't eat this type of stuff more than...

    Mexican Horchata (rice drink)

    Hey no worries! Kaukau is Hawaiian pidgin for "food" or "eat". Since it's slang I don't think it matters too much how it is spelled, but I thank you for the concern. :smile:

    Mexican Horchata (rice drink)

    The rice dream product I mentioned is indeed a boxed, manufactured rice milk product. It's lightly creamy and has a very subtle nutty flavor. All of the taquerias where I live have a jug of "horchata" on the counter that is made of rice milk....It's been so long since I had it....I guess today...

    Mexican Horchata (rice drink)

    That recipe sounds delicious! I think I would cheat and buy a box of Rice or Almond Dream and just spice it up. Although, from scratch it may be creamier and thicker....? I bet adding rum, like Sailor Jerry, would be really yummy. Although, I wonder if it would curdle. Horchata curddles in my...

    What's in the Garden?

    I hear ya'll on the expense of gardening. My husband and I bought a "fixer" with a quarter acre of sandy wasteland last year. Blank canvass or money pit? Fortunately I have found great recources in my hood for free compost and plants. Plus I shamelessly steal plant slips everywhere I go. That...

    What have you had for breakfast lately?

    It seems like wheat is being added to the long list of things we should avoid. I have cut way back myself and have noticed my life long "mystery" allergies are practically gone. But I haven't been able to cut it out all together. As for breakfast.... Mmmm...home made greek yogurt is my morning...

    Stocking A New Kitchen

    +3 besides dulling your knife, glass isn't safe to cut on because your blade just chatters around on it - not good for the fingers!! get a good end grain cutting board and spend some money on decent knives.

    Opinions on Potluck Parties.

    Potlucks are awesome. I rarely "showcase" anymore when the hubs and I entertain. It's too stressful and I don't get to enjoy my guests. It is way more laid back and fun if everyone pitches in. My friends all get involved meal planning over the phone, then everyone either brings their...
