Elsa's top three pix are:1) Bitter orange marinade ~ Goya
This 100% Seville orange concentrate also includes grapefruit extract and orange oils. Tart and bright!.. I use it in marinades (pork & chicken) , salads, dressings, cakes and cookies...wonderful in Asian stir fry, splash some into mixed drinks...wash your face with it!
2) Extra light olive oil ~ any good brand
Just discovered this oil and the little gadget in front of it (see picture) which is an atomizer for oils...has a filter so you can even scent your oils and it won't clog. Pump the cap to pressurize and spray it onto your pans for lighter flavor and lower calories. Especially good for oiling baking dishes for cakes and cookies when evo would be too strong. I also use it by the cupful in cookie and cake recipes... spritz it onto slices of eggplant and other veggies for broiling.
3) Candied Ginger ~ any good brand
I use Trader Joe's uncrystallized as it has a nice strong flavor. I'm never without it...chop it into curries, add it to corn bread mix along with a handful of minced pecans, goes into chutneys, marinades, curries, cookies and gingerbread. It is the all time best remedy for upset stomach when you pair it with saltines and sip a little club soda ...perfect seasick cure...always have it when I go deep sea fishing. Then there's mulled wines, glogg and teas.
Well...that's all for now, have a great day, don't forget to bookmark this blog...and send me your contributions when you have a minute. We're all enjoying this...so family members tell me.
Posting a comment simply because I like posting comments. Nice blog! Though nothing about Johnny's supposed Xbox360...hmmm..maybe it was just a legend.
