Looks good! We just call it tortellini in chicken soup.

Here is my morning beverage today ~ a nice, frozen, home-made version of an orange julius with lots of ice and a packet of the yummy orange shake powder from Walmart that makes the magic happen in the glass Sorry to disappoint the fellas, it has no adult ambience

[Jacca5660]

Silly, Everybody knows that BEER is for breakfast!!

[Wizzard419]

Mmm, that looks tasty ~ what kind of tortellini are they? Looks like maybe spinach?
And you can have your stupid winds back ~ they kept me up most of the night wondering if I was going to be like Dorothy and find myself over the rainbow this morning

Yes, they are. The farmer's market pasta guy doesn't have any meat based stuff (to keep costs low and risk low).

Go to the UK if you want to have beer at breakfast, that was what Friday's were like at the place I was doing stuff at.

I considered posting a picture of my chocolate pumpkin muffin tonight. One of my piano families was making them to take to a dinner tonight and they graciously offered me one. But by the time it lived through the harrowing journey home, it was not picture worthy. I should have snapped a quick photo there! I'll describe it instead...it was a chocolate pumpkin cake, baked in a muffin shape, cut in two and spread with some sort of light pumpkin cheese creamy yumminess in the middle. The best part was the semi-sweet chocolate drizzle on the top. It was pretty awesome and knowing the family and their penchant for all things healthy, actually good for me

She said she would email it to me. I'll post it here when I get it. I know the muffin part is simply a box cake mix with a little over 1 cup of pumpkin added, no eggs, no oil, just the pumpkin, baked at 400 degrees for the time stated on the cake box.

Man I was just syncing my phone and realized I hadn't uploaded yet.

So this week I gatecrashed another meeting and found they had weird muffins, they looked like muffins but were more like poundcake in texture.



Yesterday's offerings were a Juliet and Romeo cocktail (it's not as pure white because I added more bitters than normal), Kentucky Hot Browns with Cranberry Chutney (the monorail cafe had a nice sandwich version of it), and Coconut Cream Pie (soaked in rum).








I am a bit mad, this year it's cold enough that I could make the chocolate skulls for halloween but I am out of chocolate to work with and I'm not about to get ripped off at the supermarket. I normally wait till December or later to make them because the of the weather.

Here was what I made yesterday



Homemade Seafood Bisque


Bagels


German Sourdough Bread

Hey Wizzard, what are Kentucky Hot Browns?
Jacca ~ awesome looking bagels and bread. I can almost smell them from here! (Ok, I can't But I wish I could!! )

[Wizzard419]

Kentucky Hot Browns are a regional dish where you take a bread (I usually use either a squab or sourdough) and place it in the bottom of a broiler safe dish, place fresh roasted turkey on top, bacon, tomato slices, and then make up a cheese sauce and pour some over it and broil it.

Normally I am not a fan of turkey (the bird and country), but this is one of the rare times I will roast it.

Nice Bisque btw.

I love food almost as much as I love Disney. One of the first places we go to eat when in Cancun visiting family is El Cejas. It is an outdoor place in Mercado 28. I always get a whole, fried fish and caldo de cameron. The fish really looks rather scary so I thought it appropriate for Halloween. And no, I don't share. Get your own. It's that good.

[Wizzard419]

Nice is it done just crispy fish or do they also do it "Escovetch" (sp?) style? Fried fish with this spicy vinegar sauce.

Americans really need to get on the "eating fish with the head on" there are some really good pieces on the face.

[Jacca5660]

YUMMY!!! That looks GOOD!!!!!!!!

Nope, they only will do whole or filets fried (no breading, just the fish) or grilled. I'd like to get it grilled one day but it takes too long and I never want to wait. It is a seafood place and cheviche is their big seller. My friend Rodrigo LOVES to eat the eyes and when we all go out down there we all give our fish eyes to him. It is a texture thing for me that I can't get past with the eyes.
