Yum, I need to try one of those burgers. Was the pineapple ring grilled or fresh?

Fresh is my preference. I can see why others might grill it for 30 seconds, but honestly either way works.

Which recipe thread?

I started one in 2017 and all I got was been called a kitchen gimp for two pages. All of a sudden everybody's turned full Gordon Ramsey.

Might try this if I can find enough dandelions - in Irish with English subtitles.

I genuinely wonder what the Dandelions add to the flavor over and above the sugar/syrup, frankly.

I suppose there's only one way to find out. I've made elderflower cordial which was quite refreshing, and of course, there is dandelion and burdock so they must have some oomph.

Yeah, I didn't mean to sound so cynical, but dandelions--at least to me--don't have much smell (and thus perhaps taste?), but elderflower cordials...those are great.

I must admit I've never smelt a dandelion, I'm on the hunt !

The weather is changing in my area and with this change my desires for food also been altered. I have been craving a lot of salads this week. Below is a recipe for a super simple but tasty salad.

Pear & Arugula Salad with Candied Walnuts



Ingredients

5 minute Candied Walnuts

1 cup walnut halves/pieces (you can also use this recipe for candied pecans)

1/4 cup white granulated sugar (not coarse sugar)

1 Tbsp unsalted butter

¼ teaspoon salt

Salad
Servings: 4

¼ teaspoon salt

2 tablespoons walnut oil

1 tablespoon Dijon mustard

1 tablespoon white-wine vinegar or juice from 1 lemon

¼ teaspoon ground pepper

6 cups baby arugula

2 firm ripe red pears, sliced

1/2 cup Shaved parmesan or Romano. I have also seen this salad being made with Gorgonzola cheese but I prefer a mix of shave parmesan/romano

Directions

1. Prepare walnuts.

- Heat a medium non-stick skillet over medium heat, add 1 cup walnuts, 1/4 cup granulated sugar and 1 Tbsp butter.

-Heat over medium heat for 5 minutes, stirring frequently (with a heat proof non-plastic spatula) so your mixture doesn’t burn (especially towards the end). When the sugar mixture starts melting, stir constantly until all sugar is melted and nuts are coated.

-Transfer immediately onto a sheet of parchment paper and separate the nuts right away. Using two spatulas will make this task go faster. You don’t want to give the nuts a chance to turn into a wad of inseparable delicious goodness unless you are the only person who will be enjoying the wad . Seriously, move quickly from the time the nuts are coated until they are separated out on the parchment paper. Once the coating hardens (5-7 minutes), you can transfer them to a bowl or container for storage.

2. Prepare salad.

large bowl and whisk in oil, mustard, vinegar or lemon, and pepper. Add arugula, pears, cheese and the walnuts; toss to coat.

This looks delicious and I'm gonna make it at some point when I can find the time...

Last night I went grocery shopping and got all the ingredients to make this recipe on Friday. The only item I couldn't find were the buns but I found this recipe and considering whether to give it a try.

If you like scrambled egg then watch his video on YouTube. Takes 20 minutes or so to make but on toast with bacon or whatever it is simply sensational. He’s the Messi of Chefs, and then some.

I've seen it a few times. Still can't get the hang of it.

I like scramble eggs but I’m more curious about how it can take 20 minutes for a chef to make some so I will be checking it out!

Before I watch the video confess, what’s so hard about it?
