ADV Banned Camp

I'll start.

ALDI keeps a rose wine here for $4.99... it won against the $25 and $35 stuff at the wine shows.

Here is another one of my addictions... I make coffee black and strong, you can almost stand your spoon up in the cup without it falling against the side

Tonight's guilty pleasure... thai red curry...

Note: coconut cream (100% coconut insides) makes you a warrior like a Tahitian from 100 years ago. Just don't add the deep fryer...

I made egg foo Young , again last night ,
It's so good

I had made a very large amount of stir fry..
I sometimes make egg rolls with left over..
But this time it was egg foo young..

You can cook for 1-2 weeks like that, all in a couple of hours.

I know a couple of families that do this every week or two.

I know a family that will not eat left overs !
To me that's such a waste of food...

Left over are good..but for me, it has a shelf life of 4 days..after that, trash

If it was cooked and put right in the fridge ,
I'll give it 6 days ....

You know, there's this new-fandangled whizz-bang invention now that we're in the space age... it's called a "freezer".

Apparently it's useful for keeping food for longer periods of time

Today I took my retired parents to the 'German/Austrian' Club.

An interesting place. They support the local French Society and play Petanque on the grass. The bar (very German/Austrian) runs as a business, pays wages, etc., while the kitchen is staffed by volunteers using the food sales as a means of fundraising for their local social things and charities.

Volunteers = food cooked just like they used to 'back home' = YUM

I had the goulash, and of course the black forest cake. Entree was deep-fried camembert (an entire round bit, to share).

Nice !

That cake.

If I sent you a self addressed stamped envelope, could you send me a couple pieces?

Sorry I ate it all.

Added about 14lb to my waistline, but worth it

A new addiction... Shepard Avocados

They are only available for a couple of months, and now is the season!

The rest of the year we get other varieties but this one is the bestest

if only I were NOT allergic to them...

I didn't know a person could be allergic to avocados?

We have a new guilty pleasure, discovered on our trip... cheese with truffles!
