Recipes, experiments (successful or otherwise), food you remember from your childhood, eating out. It's all welcome here.
I'm making gingerbread people to sell at church. My mother says that gingerbread is my 'thing' now
She took some of my previous batch of stars to work and apparently they went down well.
I also tried out a recipe for toad-in-the-hole the other day. You know, that British dish with the batter and the sausages. I think it turned out rather well, even if my siblings wanted to smother it in tomato sauce.
Be not afraid...
Your siblings need shot. Brown sauce (HP Sauce) goes with Toad-in-the-Hole (old, old argument, this: some people are die-hard Red Sauce fans). Well, that and onion gravy (no fight over this bit).
There are actually three main wings of the Sauce Theory: Red, Brown and No-Sauce-At-All. For some dishes, you can add a Mustard side (not called Yellow Sauce, paradoxically enough).
Um: it's Britain... We find the weirdest things to play-fight over.

I think I had the same squid salad tonight that 'cat talked about here
, or something very close to it, considering the restaurant I was at is Thai and Laotian rather than Korean, and dear god it was magnificent! I ordered it because I remembered her talking about it. The owner was so pleased; she said it doesn't get ordered a lot, because most folks around here seem squid-shy. I got it at medium spice level, and it was just teetering on the edge of "too spicy", but didn't quite tip over the edge.

Some healthier than others, but... here
. Warning: pop-up central.
Savoury breads are certainly a different way to do bacon, if you don't want to do the same thing, day in, day out.

I must admit... I'm more of a pastry cook, myself. <_< Bread and cakes can sometimes be a bit hit-and-miss with me. I blame the flat-inherited, rather temperamental electric oven I can't get rid of as it's in the contents list of the rent agreement (but, oh... I dream of doing so, sometimes).

I think I set a personal record today for the fastest I've ever wolfed down a burrito. To make a long and annoying story short: couldn't eat for a good bit of today thanks to needing blood work done, finally got done around 4:00 PM, proceeded to wolf down a five-layer burrito from Taco Bell in under a minute (and I don't even like the five-layer that much, I'm more of a burrito supreme kind of person... or, if I feel like it, I add salsa to a pair of chicken burritos).
