This expensive vinegar. I love vinegar and this is some of the best I’ve ever had. Perfectly sweet enough with an incredible flavor. Like a very light balsamic almost.
So good it’s all I need on salad. Been putting it on everything. Dipping chicken in it and cooking chicken in it, roasting vegetables with a drizzle of it and truffle sea salt, etc. sooo good!
I roasted cauliflower, drizzled this on with some smoked sea salt just now and it was incredible!

^There is nothing like a well aged/made balsamic vinegar. I remember my boyfriend splurged on a $50 bottle when we were in Montreal...insanely good.3

Quality balsamic is food of the gods. Has anyone here ever cooked it down as a syrup for vanilla ice cream? Exceptional

^I did once (not for ice cream though) just as a dressing for a roasted root type salad. Quite good if I remember correctly. (Can't remember the brand I used though...)
However, I did it again with one that wasn't a very good one, and it wasn't edible.1 -
Bananas! I have not had a banana in 3 days, send good vibes

yes! so good1 -
It's been years since I had top quality balsamic. I used to drag it home from the duty free in Milan airport in my previous life when I worked in fashion. Nowadays whenever we are on vacation in Italy we will go to the supermarket on the last day and get the best available at the supermarket, usually around EUR 10. Look for the brands where "mosto" or grape musts are the first ingredient.1

I’m kind of getting on a kick of very sweet, very milky tea. Like last night I had a big cup of herbal tea with a glob of honey and a splash of half and half and it was like I had died and gone to heaven. As someone who usually drinks unsweetened iced tea or hot tea with just a TOUCH of sugar and milk, this is unusual

Sweet and milky tea is the only kind I like. Chai, Thai, etc.3 -
Thank you @JuanSLOjourney for talking about chaffles as part of his astounding loss. I never heard of these.
Two ingredients: an egg whipped with 1/2c finely shredded cheese, put in a waffle maker.
I bought a waffle maker yesterday specifically to try this. Outstanding!
I used cheddar (most recipes called for mozarella) and added the tiniest pinch of baking powder and 6gr flour. Will try it tomorrow with just the two ingredients.
The cheddar was very savory. Would be great with a pinch of chipotle seasoning for dinner, but was quite good using it to simply dredge up the sugar off a small slice of stollen I had with it.
This goes right up in my arsenal with pumpkin pudding!2 -

Ahhhh THAI TEA. I forgot, that’s the exception to the norm lol.
When I lived in Phoenix long ago I used to go to a place where I could get Thai tea with passionfruit juice bobas. Sometimes it’s abundantly clear how I ended up on MFP

Just made chaffles. Used 2 egg whites (so they wouldn’t taste eggy). I guess it worked, cause they were cheeeeseey!
Really good, but I wanna add more flavor. A little bacon sprinkle, garlic, onion, jalapeño?
What do y’all think, if you really overwork you’re imagination, could this be pizza crust?
Mine were really, really ugly. I’ll have to work on that part.

I don't know if I'm obsessed, but I've been drinking a glass of Kombucha every day and I do think it's helping with my digestive issues. I've also been eating a Honeycrisp apple every day....I "splurge" on these for myself while the rest of my family gets the bagged Pink Lady apples . 1

Omg, sounds delicious, I am going to try it! I LOVE cherry pie filling.0 -
I'd love to have this cherry pie filling...I'd have to order online $7/can though....plus shipping🙄1

Whoa! It’s pretty easy to thicken the cherry juice of plain canned cherries. Wouldn’t it be easy to add sweetener? Can you even buy plain unsweetened cherries any more?
! ! ! I looked. They’re so expensive! !0 -

I put a pinch of Italian herb blend in mine. I also add a tablespoon of almond flour with a quarter teaspoon of baking powder instead of flour (need gf) and with mozzarella or Italian cheese and egg blend it makes a tasty breakfast.1 -

I'm currently obsessed with sweet mini peppers. They're more expensive than the bog-standard peppers, but they're ever so slightly nicer and I love eating them raw. I don't love a lot of raw vegetables, but if I finely dice them and stick them on top of anything, it instantly improves the meal and gets 1/2 to 1 of my 5-a-day in.
I'm also obsessed with pecorino. I remember when I used to eat out, I would feel paranoid about accepting the offer of grated hard cheese with my pasta, thinking it would add on a zillion calories. It actually doesn't. The thing that makes you fat is choosing a pasta dish that's laden with cream and cheese. A bit of grated hard cheese doesn't have that many calories.
Also... fresh parsley. I wish I could grow herbs that didn't immediately die. Killing plants and herbs on sight is a gift that I have.5 -

I struggle with some things, but find herbs pretty easy, although so far only when I can do it outside (just decided to try to grow them indoors over the winter). What are you finding the issue with herbs? (Chives, dill, rosemary, and parsley are the ones I've found most resilient, probably. Well, and mint, which can be TOO resilient.)1 -

It's the growing them inside (apartment living). I really need a window box to give them enough good quality daylight, but I have my doubts over how secure that would be. If it were to fall down, I don't own the garden on the ground and would have no access to retrieve it!
Plus, as I said, it's a gift. Some people are naturally green-fingered. I'm the opposite.0
