Let Them Eat: Fresh Persimmon Cake

Nisperos? Sounds like a neesberry to me. Although now that I know they are called nisperos the name neesberrys makes more sense to me.

Serious Salads: Vietnamese Shrimp and Quinoa Salad

Had to try this but I didn't have any fresh veggies, so I made it with corn. So glad I did. It tastes great with just corn. Can't wait to try it with fresh veggies.

I can't believe they don't like...!

I have a friend who doesn't like mushrooms. She also doesn't like cilantro, fresh tomatoes, the ist goes on...... But back to the mushrooms, it's not even that she doesn't like the taste, she said that the idea of eating mushrooms is repulsive. She even claims to be allregic to them in restaurants to make sure they do not come anywhere near her food. Sometimes I wish someone would call her on that.

Missing out for a lifetime thanks to one innocent mistake.

I know this is the opposite of the theme here but is my story.
When I was three I "accidentally " drank half a glass a beer when my dad wasn't looking (he was concentrating on mah jong). According to my parents I wobbled around the room for a bit and then promptly fell asleep.
I still love beer and I still promptly fall asleep after too much of it.

Video: 'A Slice of Life,' a PB&J Love Story

A couple things:
I love that the peanutbutter bread has a segway, awesome
Love the peep birds
Just as the peanutbutter bread sat down on the bench, I thought to myself why don't the birds eat the bread? and then he started feeding himself to the birds.....very amusing.

What's your secret kitchen "cheat" tool?

My corn on the cob shaped corn zipper. At first I tried to tell people about it because I was so excited. But when I explained what it did and that it only did one thing, they were like "can't you just use a knife?". Now I use my zipper quietly and privately.

American Classics: Chocolate 'Crack'

Crazy! My sister made this for me once. She described it over the phone before I tried it, and I just thought to myself :"the things I do for family". After that first time she let me try it......I have been asking for it every few months or so.
Unexpectedly good.

Sweet Hacks: 10-Minute No-Bake Lime Cracker Pie

I made it for a potluck as well. I tried not to tell people what was in the dessert (even though I was dying to) until after they tasted it.
For the most part it was a big hit! One of my fellow potluckers came up with a new name that I think I will use from now on.
Ritzy Lime Pie!
thanks SE

SE Staff Picks: Our Favorite Food Souvenirs to 'Smuggle' Home

I always bring back, mint tea, Grey's hot sauce and Maggi Thick and Spicy soup from Jamaica. Thick and spicy is like lipton chicken noodle soup, but it is ...well thick and spicy. When I have a cold the chicken noodle plus spicy always seems to make me feel better.

Do You Know Your Soy Sauces?

Maggi sauce is yummy, but not considered soy sauce. It does not contain soy. Believe it or not the flavour profile is quite different.

Oatmeal in a Rice Cooker

I don't think it is the model that it the problem. The porridge setting is for asian style rice porridge, which generally is thinner (more watery) then oat porridge.

Food related books - need a good read.

It's not a very long read, but I enjoyed What the Great Ate.

Yeah process cheese food! I love the nacho cheese in a jar. I don't know if there is any cheese in it, but it sure is tasty.
