Do you think about cucumbers? Do you always have one in your fridge? Do you buy one every week? Do you name them? (Wait….we aren’t talking about people who really LOVE cucumbers.) I adore cucumbers especially on hot days. There is something about the crispness and the feel of their crunch that make me feel …
Appetizer
Rewind. Fast Forward. Play. Press Pause.
Did you ever have a VCR? Do you remember when you would try to get to a certain point on a tape and hit the fast forward? You could watch all the characters move super-fast and it was almost as fun as watching the movie. The challenge was always getting it to go exactly to …
We Go Together Like Shrimp and Cocktail Sauce
“We go together Like rama lama lama ka dinga da dinga dong Remembered forever As shoo-bop sha wadda wadda yippity boom de boom Chang chang changitty chang sha-bop That’s the way it should be Wah-oooh, yeah! We’re one of a kind Like dip da-dip da-dip doo-wop da doo-bee doo” Do you remember this song? It …
Cevicho Or Copying A Soup You Taste on Vacation
Happy July!!! Any big summer plans? Do you like to just hang out at home and avoid summer crowds? Or maybe this is the only time of year you get off work so you take a big vacation? I like the mini-stay close to home vacation. I feel like I’m getting away but I still …
One Shrimp, Two Shrimp….
One Shrimp. Two Shrimp. Pink Shrimp. Poop Shrimp. I bought a bag of shrimp, all safe in a stash. Pulling off the shells and placing them in the trash. I looked at the pile all pretty and pink when all of a sudden I saw something that I think stinks. They call it a “vein” …
It’s My Kitchen….
Do you ever get a case of the grumpies? You grumble, mumble and lash out. You can’t be cheered up no matter what anyone says or does. You may even start to react violently and fling scrambled eggs across the room. (What kind of lunatic does that…um…thanks for cleaning mine up, Honey.) I had a …
Deviled Eggs 2017
Drum roll please….it is time for the Annual….DEVILED….EGGS…blog!!!!! (I guess I gave it away in the title.) Hooray!!!!!!!! I think this has become one of my favorite blogs on Felt Like a Foodie. I know that if I didn’t feel the pressure to write about deviled eggs every year…I probably wouldn’t force myself to experiment …
Giving a Mushroom a Sponge Bath
*Small edit….spell check had spelled “gochujang” wrong….I think I corrected it. 🙂 Every time I introduce a “new to me” ingredient” (like the gochujang in my last post) I get feedback. Some folks find the information very usual and can’t wait to try it on their own. (Gold Star!) There are folks who claim they …
Super Bowl Snacking
The Super Bowl is this weekend. Yippeee….sports!!! (I’m jumping in the air right now and doing one of those fancy cheerleader kick things.) Every year I vow that I will pay more attention to what is going on in the football world so I can write a blog worthy of the big game. But then …
Out with Old, In With the New Year
When do you realize that you are starting to get old? Is it a number that makes you old? 40? 50? 60? 70? Is it when you and your friends start every conversation with the weather and commentary on your aches and pains? Maybe it is when you start putting the word “the” before other …
