Oh, I believe you! I absolutely believe you. And now I really want some.

I thought that might be it. The meatloaf sounds delicious!

I shouldn't be surprised that deep fried pigeon head is a food, but I still am. Ok ... what were the "wings" really?

I've never had it, but I was at the table with a woman who was having it for the first time. Her verdict "Tastes like eyeball" ... I didn't ask. So what did you think of it?

What’s the "strangest" thing you’ve ever cooked or eaten? Have you tried insects, exotic fruits (and yes, that's relative - what's exotic for one is common for someone else), or spicy dishes? I love haggis and Scottish white pudding, which probably seems weird to some.

What is your favorite frugal food hack? Groceries are expensive these days (and it's not localized - everyone is experiencing this all over the world), so I'd love to know your best ideas for eating well on a tight grocery budget.

Stop scrolling for a second.
You're going to be okay, you're strong and i'm proud of you. Catch your breath and wash your face. Grab something to drink or to eat and remember to take any medications if you need to, okay?
You're amazing for making it so far into life; thank you for staying alive.
Now keep going.

:D Love that he does that for you.

Jams are so sweet! I haven't experimented with low-sugar pectin because I haven't seen it in our local stores, but it's on my to do list. I made a Ragtag Jam (and I'll post it soon) - added zucchini, which thickens and cuts the sweet - and the kids gobbled it up.

So just the typical "Does anyone know what this USED to be? Oh, gag, can we even save this dish or does it just need to go right in the trash?"

Love that you love doing the dishes! :D I always soak cutlery as soon as I start doing the dishes .... possibly maybe might miss spots on them, too.

Sounds lovely!! Is Meal soup a recipe or "it's soup and it's a meal"? And is Italian Meatloaf more than using Italian spices? I love seeing what other people are making.

Chapman's has a Butter Tart ice cream? Going to go talk to the Sobeys manager about why they don't stock that .....

I did the same thing the other day - too lazy to deal with getting out and cleaning the food processor, I'll just shred these two cabbages with a knife. LOL My mixer has a dedicated spot on the counter - I'd never use it otherwise. Bread looks great.

How do you plan your meals for the week? Do you use a meal planner, an app, or wing it?

What is your go-to comfort food when you’re feeling down or stressed? Do you reach for chocolate, ice cream, pizza, or something else? Mine's butterscotch ripple ice cream, although I admit - my gut doesn't like it much.

What is your favorite type of cuisine? Do you love Italian, Mexican, Chinese, or something else? I'm always looking for ideas.

What’s your favorite way to avoid doing the dishes? Do you hide them in the dishwasher, pretend you don’t see them, or bribe someone else to do them? 😅

Weird cooking question of the day: What’s the weirdest thing you’ve ever found in your fridge? Or just the typical science experiment pushed to the back? :P

I have this discussion regularly with my kids. I'll add 'sweep the dining room and kitchen floor', making sure stovetop and counters are clean, & compost is out. Further question - does the washer or drier do the garbage/put away food, though? :) Big argument with the kids.

Make your blueberries go further with this old-fashioned apple-based jam. It tastes like pure blueberry, sets beautifully with natural pectin, and fills more jars for less money. 🍯🍽️ 🍜 #food #WhatsCooking #JustPlainCooking
