Energy Drinks: Which Ones Are the Best?

Wow - what a pretty tableaux!

Dinner Tonight: Avgolemono (Greek Lemon and Rice Soup)

This sounds very much like my husband makes it... it's such a wonderful soup for a cold day! And the basic method is great to use to thicken other soups, too.

Sunday Supper: Tortellini with Gorgonzola Cream Sauce

That sounds good, though the 2.25 CUPS of heavy cream kind of freak me out!

Seriously. We went here when we were in Spain in 2001... and the place is certainly a sight, with hams hanging EVERYWHERE, swaying in the breeze.

I think there are several of these, unless I'm crazy?

We have lots more streetfood pictures, too, which we're editing and working on as I type. Thanks for putting this up, Roboppy!

Made this for supper last night, and it was perfect. We added a touch of fresh-chopped parsley right before serving. And it was what the doctor ordered when I woke up this morning, and discovered I had the flu.

Energy Drinks: Which Ones Are the Best?

13 energy drinks... If most of them do what they are supposed to do, I'm surprised you're still on Earth.

So sad... barely any of those can be found where I am. Monster Energy in particular sounds nice. And the painful one might be good for a hoot!

mmmm...jamón...sooo good!

I studied in Spain a few years ago and my homestay mother made the best tortilla espanola and tortillas de bacalao.

Oh, and the chocolate, and by "chocolate" I mean the Spanish hot chocolate so thick you can eat it with a spoon. *drool*

Fine Dining with Bacon-Flavored Gelato

@klg19: That would attract some attention...I like "The Fat Duck" though. :)

@Girlie: Thanks for the awesome post! I felt full after reading it. So much...SO MUCH FOOD! Amazing. And insane, yeah. I hope to have that experience some day.

@chasgoose: Yes, you would love that. :) I have yet to enjoy bacon as part of my dessert, but I'm open to trying bacony ice cream if I ever come across it.

Fine Dining with Bacon-Flavored Gelato

I had maple bacon ice cream once and it was AMAZING (the garnish was a perfectly crisp piece of bacon). That proved to me that as long as there is bacon in it, it will be delicious.

You better believe I'm in!

I'm going back to Bangkok this fall or winter. Let's get organized and invade the city to bring back the street food revolution to the States!
