This is what I have http://shop.honeyville.com/chocolate-milk-substitute.html, I bought one can just to try the stuff, tastes just fine, this just needs to be stirred before being poured.


I've never seen that sort of thing before. This is the something new I've
learned today.

Glad to have informed you Suzie-Q.

There's an ad in The New Yorker from last week for 12 steaks from someplace called Kansas City Steaks for 12 steaks for 40 bucks and free shipping. Four are 6 ounce bacon wrapped filet mignons and eight are 4 ounce steak-burgers. Sounds like a pretty good deal, and I think I might order it.

Have to tune up that slow cooker chili recipe of mine.....
Got a new 6.5 quart Waring WSC650.
The 5 quart unit I have is just not large enough....wants to burble over the edges sometimes.

The suggested addition of garlic was nice.
I have also seen that the addition of a modest amount of balsamic vinegar can do wonders for most chili recipes.

I should be launching another batch probably Sunday for next week's gastric enjoyment.

Will keep you posted on the exact ingredients later.

I ordered one of those special introductory offers from Omaha Steaks. I can't
say I was disappointed. The food was good. But I probably will not order from
them again. I'm not sure what point I'm trying to make, if any, but I was
compelled to comment.

Let us know how you liked them if you order from them.

Well, things arrived today, solid as a rock; I was impressed they kept so nicely frozen on the two day trip. As soon as I thaw one out and cook it, I'll report back.

And you probably have some dry ice to play with.

Honestly I was too scared of it, to play with it with all the warnings.

Well, my verdict is in, and I have to agree with you. The steaks are ok(I haven't tried the burgers yet), but I wasn't doing the happy dance like David Venable on QVC.

The special seasoning included didn't wow me either. It mainly tasted like salt and pepper.

No idea. I figured it was just dry ice in water. Haven't you ever done
that, say, for halloween? It' how you make "smoke" come out of a bowl.

Yeah. I guess I expected huge, expensive-type steaks, but that's certainly not
what I got. But it was good. I'm glad you at least liked the steaks.

I got hot dogs and I think, iirc, I fed them to the dogs. Not that they weren't
high-quality. I just didn't feel like eating them. I might have put one in some
baked beans. I don't really remember.

No, I never have. (Therefore, my next paragraph has little experience to back it up.)

Seems like an awful lot of surface tension for just water. The bubble gets really big and overhangs before it breaks.

I knew what I was getting in terms of size, but the cuts were called filet mignon, and they really didn't live up to what I consider the crème de la crème of steaks.

My guess, dish soap and water.

This guy used soap to trap the "smoke" in a bubble before it pops.

Fascinating.

I got some frozen food via FedEx a couple of days ago and was going to play
with the dry ice, but it had already melted away. Fortunately the food was
still frozen. The "ice cream" was a little soft, though.
