    All the Engineers up from Central & South America at my work mix their instant coffee with Nestle Nido. I haven't tried it, but it smells pretty good at least.

    ”Some”. Lol. 

    What was your MO? I have friends coming for a dinner party in a few weeks and I need an incredible stock recipe for ramen.

    Ended up with about 3.5 gal. May have got a tad carried away =)

    Roasted a turkey wing, turkey neck, and a couple of other parts, with several skinny carrots and several stalks of celery. Added that to about 20 qts of water, and let it simmer all day. A few fresh bay leaves and sprigs of fresh thyme. And a quart of pork stock I found in the freezer.  Made Demi glacé with 1.5 gal, and gravy with 1 gal. Saved 1 gal to make gumbo later this week.  

    I needed more collagen in the mix, so noted for next time. For ramen, I’d add more roasted bones (veal, beef, chicken wings or feet), etc. 

    Haven’t started my deep dive into Ivan Orkin’s “Ivan Ramen” yet, but it’s on the cards!

    Second one was too done.  I think medium rare might be right.  Needs a little more structure than well done provided, but this has the makings of a decent dessert.

    First one was good, but needed a bit more time.  Second one will try a bit more time.

    Incredible.  Have you tried smoking eggplant?

    Was it grilled banana by itself? I’ve seen a post before where someone stuffed an unpeeled banana with something. Maybe topped it off with ice cream, when serving. Can’t recall the deets.

    Just the banana.  I jad some bananas that needed to get used, and a hot grill. They tasted really good, like bananas foster, but will take a bit more trial and error to get the texture right.

    Stuffed banana would be a cool twist.  Might have to dwell on that for a minute.

    Lay the banana flat, about 1" from end, cut the peel, not the banana, all the way thru, then cut a straight from one slit to the other, then slit the banana and open.  Then stuff the slit with Hershey squares, mini marshmallows, or maybe vanilla wafers, cook until everything is melted, then top with whipped cream or iced cream.  Wouldn't take much imagination to come up with an "old fashioned banana split".  Options unlimited.  Will rival anything you you have ever used a banana for

    she sees complications with seniors with bad medical problems and focuses with that sub group only, cant seem to convince her that old people with severe medical conditions have complications that may be there without the shots. that and she .......ill leave the politics out
