I wanted to get into some new foods, so I started looking into Burmese recipes. It was something I’d never tried before, but hey, there’s a first time for everything, right? So, I started off with the most famous one, I guess—lephet. It’s basically fermented tea leaves. Sounds weird, but I was game. I found a recipe for lephet thoke, which is like a salad with these pickled tea leaves. I gathered all the ingredients, which wasn’t too hard, and mixed them up. Honestly, it was pretty tart, just like…

You guys won’t believe what I messed around with in the kitchen this weekend – sous vide desserts! I know, it sounds a bit nuts, but I saw a thing online about making desserts with a sous vide cooker, and I just had to give it a shot. I mean, I use my sous vide all the time for steaks and chicken, so why not try something sweet, right? So, first off, I dug out my trusty sous vide cooker and gave it a good clean – gotta make sure…

Today, I was trying to get some weed, right? And the name “Fortune Cookie Strain” caught my eye. I’ve heard about the famous Girl Scout Cookies, and OG Kush, but never this one. It got me thinking, why not give it a shot and see what this is all about? So, I got my hands on some Fortune Cookies. First thing I did was look it up. Turns out, this strain is a mix of Girl Scout Cookies and OG Kush. It’s supposed to be a hybrid, which means it’s…

Hey folks, so I tried out some recipes with Bertolli Alfredo sauce today. You know, the one you can easily grab from the grocery store? Yeah, that one. I’ve always been a fan of easy-to-cook meals, and let me tell you, this did not disappoint. First off, I grabbed a jar of Bertolli Alfredo. The label says it’s got this mix of Parmesan and Romano cheeses, sounds pretty good, right? Then, I cooked some lasagna noodles. Once those were done, I started layering. Noodles first, then a good spread of…

Okay, so today I wanted to share my little experiment with making a “penguin frozen dinner.” I’ve always been a fan of quick meals, and frozen dinners are a lifesaver when I’m in a rush. But, I was thinking, “How can I make these a bit more interesting and, well, penguin-themed?” Getting Started First, I grabbed a standard frozen dinner from my freezer. I picked one with chicken and veggies because, you know, penguins eat fish, and chicken is kinda like the fish of the land, right? The Process I…

Today, I felt like doing something different in the kitchen, so I thought, why not try making some Ramadan desserts? It’s always fun to explore new recipes, especially when they’re tied to such a special time of the year. I rolled up my sleeves and got to work, not really knowing what to expect but excited to see how it would all turn out. First, I decided to tackle Baklava. I’ve always loved its rich, sweet flavor and crispy texture. I carefully laid out the thin phyllo sheets, brushing each…

Hey everyone, I tried making that Grinch drink that’s been all over the internet, and I want to tell you all about it. I started by gathering all the stuff I needed. The recipes online were all a bit different, so I decided to just wing it. I grabbed some vodka, blue curaçao because it’s what one post talked about, and orange juice since another post mentioned it, too. I also found some pineapple juice in the fridge, thinking it might be a good addition. I took a regular-sized glass…

Okay, so I tried making custom dipped Oreo cookies today, and let me tell you, it was a fun little project! I’d seen these fancy-looking Oreos online and thought, “Why not give it a shot?” Getting Started First, I gathered all my stuff. I already had some Oreos at home, the regular kind. Then I went to the store and picked up some chocolate melting wafers – I got both milk chocolate and white chocolate, ’cause variety is the spice of life, right? And of course, I grabbed some sprinkles,…

Okay, so I’ve been having to deal with this alpha-gal allergy thing for a while now, and let me tell you, it’s been a real pain in the neck. For those who don’t know, AGS makes you allergic to red meat and stuff. So, figuring out what I can and can’t eat has been like a whole new adventure, and not the fun kind. But I’ve been experimenting in the kitchen, trying to find some decent meals that won’t make me feel like I’m missing out on everything tasty. First…

Okay, so, I decided to throw a little party last weekend, and you know what that means – dessert! But I really didn’t want to deal with a mountain of dishes afterward. I remembered seeing someone use those clear plastic dessert plates at a get-together once, and thought, “Why not?” So, off I went to the store, on a mission to find some. And let me tell you, the options were overwhelming! I finally settled on these 6.25-inch disposable plastic plates. They were a bit pricier than the store brand,…
