What’s up donut girl!?
Great photos. Those housemade dinner rolls are insane. I think I ate two full tins myself. I also probably burned myself on the cast iron pan twice as well. How good were those coconut donuts?! Though I didn’t care for the citrus aspect. That being said, banana-Pecan Upside-Down cake with rum caramel banana sorbet & malted milk ice cream was insane. Get that next time.

I think it’s totally appropriate to place a lot of importance on a restaurant’s bread basket. Think about it - in most cases, it’s the first food item they bring you! If the bread is bad, that doesn’t bode well for the rest of your meal. And if the bread is mediocre but the rest of your meal is incredible, then that means they’re not giving enough thought to presentation and/or the diner’s overall experience.

Or something. I like bread, too.

I am not a cook and need full instructions. Is the plastic wrap they come in the “Flavor Saver Wrap?” Do I punch holes in the wrap. Geese. Why not just give some instructions and stop all the guessing. Don’t they actually want to sell these things to those of us who will pay for the convenience?

This is fantastic…who knew you and Tracey were such talented exterior decorators/landscapers?

Tell me you ate every last crumb plus all the icing.

This makes me long for Christmas! Even if I am sick of the cold!

By the way, try Uni at one of the better Sushi joints in town. It should be nutty and slightly sweet with the essence of the ocean.

I grew up in NY with one of the rare mothers who cooked. She was a first generation American(Greek) who did not give up all of the good bits like others. Between her and my father I was eating offal galore as a child though my brother and sister rejected these items. When a chicken was roasted I would only eat the liver, heart, gizzard and skin then eventually dark meat. It was only as an adult that I could stand to eat white meat. On rare occasions she would roast lamb heads in the oven revealing all sorts of good parts, especially the tongue. This I suppose led my parents to enjoy tongue sandwiches at the Jewish deli despite our non Jewishness. Because of a child hood like this, i tend to seek out things that are new to me.

As to why they are good, well just for the reasons you mentioned. First off the different parts taste different and have wondering various textures. I happen to like the feel of rubbery chewy cartilage and gizzards and of the creaminess of liver. A good cabeza taco with all its heady parts has a fatty unctuous profile that makes it one of my favorites.

As a NYer I never ate Pizza Hut until college and found it utterly revolting. Sugary sauce thats more like catsup on top of poorly made bread with a rubbery off tasting cheese, blech. To each their own.

Oh man…I love making those. So much fun. Yours are pretty tidy compared to how mine normally turn out. I usually have the whole thing covered in candy so as to disguise any flaws

My favorite part is after the holidays pretending to be a big abominable snowman and crushing them to bits…then tossing them into the sink and mashing it down the garbage disposal.

Where did you grow up that you were being fed all of this stuff as a kid? I knew of exactly one restaurant in Ohio that served offal, and it was this Mexican dive in a part of town no one went to.

What is it that makes you like all the weird parts more than muscle? The intense flavor? The creamy yet rubbery texture? My boyfriend’s on a major chicken livers kick for those two reasons, so I guuuuuuess I believe that you could like them, too.

I’ve only had uni once, and it was an awful experience just because it wasn’t fresh, but I do know I have to try it again since all sorts of people seem to love it. Plus, it was a couple of years ago, and I barely remember it, so it doesn’t seem as horrible now.

I liked being called out, I admit, and you can say anything you want about my love for chain pizza, because I’m a Pizza Hutter for LIFE.
