Ice Cube Junkie

Actually saw this on another blogger’s blog today.. and can’t helped but thought to myself.. this is a wonderful pot to have and owned. This is a winner of the 2003 Gourmet Cookware Award, Staub Mussel Pots are models of service and preparation. A stainless steel strainer separates the mussels from the sauce, making flavorful juices available for dipping from the first bite to the last. The generous Family Mussel Pot holds up to six pounds of mussels. The smaller two-quart pot comes in a version without a knob, so the lid can be used upside-down to hold empty shells. For someone who loves seafood and mussels this much. .i think i can afford to buy it .. only at $89.00. Donch you just love the blue color..??

We were all invited to the birthday party of a client one time and we had thought that it would be the company or the boss who would be picking up the tap.  Well. .the boss did.. but the secretary bought a present for the client.. and expected us to pay for it.  In order to impress the client, she bougt a Zero Halliburton laptop case but I’ll have to say that it looked really good .. but the cost..!!  what a costly lunch..!

For those who don’t know me, I’ll have to tell you that if i don’t get my food on time.. i will turn into a monster..!  It’s the truth and nothing but the true.  And this budget software is keeping me from getting my lunch in time .. when i am working at the store.  You see we just gotten this new software to help at the store..  and there is alot to take it.  But whatever it is.. i wished i can get my food on time.. because it looks like the boss isn’t budging from his seat.

Nah.. ! we didn’t have this for Mother’s Day.. but the man’s aunt . .cooked this .. because she already had these thawed out. It smelt quite funny. .when she started cooking it.. but after it was cooked.. it really was all good. She cooked it as it was.. very simple.. no fanciful marinating.. nor tenderizer. So is deer meat called venison..?? Apparently yes.. and it’s alot healthier than a piece of steak i hear. A three-ounce serving provides only 134 calories and three grams of fat, including only one gram of saturated fat. Beef gives you 259 calories for the same three-ounce serving, and 18 grams of fat, including seven grams of saturated fat. Good to know eh.

As someone who loves to eat so much and going out to look for new and good food. I really admire those food bloggers who churned out so many good posts about the food they eat and wonder how they keep their weight.. and stay healthy. We all know alot of good stuff eaten may not be the best for the body.

I know of some food bloggers that go for Colon Cleanse every couple of months and swears by it because detoxifying is good and gets rid of those excess stuff that cannot normally come out on its own. As for me, I use it because I have constipation and if I don’t detoxify, i also notice that I have very bad breath. What about you ..?? are you like me..??

I donch eat alot of ice cream.. and that’s because i can’t find the one i loved, so i rather not eat. They did have Rum & Raisins on a Chapman brand.. but nothing compares to Haagen Dazs. What is your favorite ice cream flavor..?? if you cannot get the one you loved.. would you not eat others.. like me..?? The man thinks i am weird.. for not liking ice cream.. but why waste calories.. when you donch need to right..?? Anyone love Rum & Raisin..??

We don’t roast our own chicken.. because it is definitely cheaper to buy them already cooked. It is very common here to buy cooked food.. for dinner.. for the whole family. But since we are a small family.. we only need half at a time. We quickly realised that buying a full chicken would mean the other half.. going to waste.. because by the time we get to it.. it’s all dried up and old. So at Superstore.. they do half chicken.. and that’s the way we go now. Half a chicken at less than $5 .. gets us thru’ a few meals.. depending on what we wanna eat them with. Both the kid and the man are very small eaters.. so i get to eat alot of the chicken with my noodles.

When we were younger, we couldn’t afford to eat lobsters, so what my mum did was she bought us crayfish instead since they are a fraction of the cost for buying lobsters. Plus they are do look like small lobsters, so when we were kids and didn’t know any better, we would boast and tell our school friends that we had lobsters for dinner. My friends must have thought i was either boasting again.. or we were rich.. hahha!!

Now anyone in United States can enjoy authentic Cajun crawfish as they can get shipped and delivered fresh to your doorstep. We still loved seafood alot and with my father-in-law fishing all the time for the best catch, I know he will appreciate some of these freshwater crustaceans. Whether you want them live, frozen or boiled, they are available all year round. Of course the quality of these crayfish is one of the best and if you must know why we loved it so much, it is because for years now, my mum kept telling us that it is an excellent source of protein, plus really low in fat. So women out there need not feel guilty at all about eating them. Eat as many as you like is what my mum used to say.. and never grow fat.

Email or call their toll free number to place your order and check out their shipping prices. Direct buying can only mean one thing, and that is direct prices .. no middleman involved.

Usually this mini cake enough for 1 person is at $3.60 but since it was on sale.. at $1.99 .. I bought it .. to eat. Not bad at all. The kiwi wasn’t that fantastic though.. ! it had that stinking taste.. like the fruit wasn’t ripe .. or something like that. But the cake was good.. and so was the peanuts. I only ate half.. coz’ i couldn’t finished it. Was the cake rich..?? nah.. just the way i liked it.

I love mushrooms.. just about any kind. Whether they are the chinese mushrooms or the mini bella .. or the shitake .. i love them all. Canadian grown mushrooms are grown all year round. Plus mushrooms are a quick and easy way to make any food more flavorful and memorable.

So how does one clean the mushrooms..??? that actually was my problem.. and i didn’t wanna appear stupid.. so i never really did learn from the expert.

The occasional particles on a mushroom’s surface are bits of peat moss.. used in growing; they are not harmful at all.. and can be easily brushed away. To clean, trim bottom of stem if necessary and gently wipe with a damp cloth, paper towl or soft brush.

Now if you wanna wash your mushroom, place them in a colander and rinse quickly with cold water. Don’t let them soak too long as they will absorb water quickly and be more likely to brown, and become less flavorful and release excess moisture when cooking. Pat them dry immediately.
