A pot of beans and balls of ice...

So it isn't easy coming up with clever titles to these posts. I could have titled this post "Chicken that I forgot what I did to it" That doesn't quite have the ring to it that I was looking for.

Looks good no? I have no idea what I did to it or even if it was in fact good. Dr. Food? Do you remember?

Although I do remember this Roasted Cauliflower with Tahini Sauce. It is so good that you really need to give it a try.

The sauce is a little ugly but I swear it taste good.

I am on a cauliflower kick. I will get over it.

Ok, so I saw this ice ball maker somewhere which I can't remember where now. Probably on the night that I ate the forgettable chicken. Anyhow, I laughed and laughed because this machine is expensive and all it does is make ice. So, being the trendsetter I am, I had bought a gizmo to make ice balls from the Museum of Modern Art in NY. I know! A museum that sells ice ball makers is A-OK in my book.

See? Almost the same and MINE cost 4.00. Dr. Food rolled his eyes over me spending 4.00 for a ice ball mold. Can you imagine what he will do when if I spend 150.00.

All in all it looks pretty much the same. I mean it is ice. It melts. What difference does it make if it isn't perfect. I want that machine to do other stuff with though. Dr. Food suggested that I make the next batch with hot water to make it clear. We will see.

Copper River Salmon. No need to do anything to it. That was for dinner last night.

Hello? HELLLO? I guess I "lulled" you to sleep.
