FROZEN LOVE!

What does a girl do when 100 degrees is the norm?
OK so I have a new Cuisinart ice cream maker because my 1970s version finally died. So I was looking for anti-melting recipes. I met Don Pablo the coffee Lord on Saturday at Costco. (See my earlier post today). What an experience. I’m still blown over from it. So I had some left over coffee from all my Sunday morning experimentations.  Not wanting to be wasteful and discovering a whole new level of LOVE JUICE; Let me tell you this leaves ALL the big names and numbers in the dust!
REALLY HARD TO DESCRIBE HEAVEN but here goes the ingredients:
Makes about 1.5 quart
14 oz sweetened condensed milk
1 1/2 cups brewed strong coffee; add 1-2 tsp or more of espresso powder as needed if not strong enough to your liking
3/4 cup half-and-half or whatever kind of creamy milk substance you have
Instructions:
Don’t worry there were no recipes or documentation with my Cuisinart machine. Just GO for it. Welcome to the paperless society. Whisk together the condensed milk, coffee, espresso powder, and half-and-half. Freeze the ice cream maker unit according to the manufacturer’s directions, or in my case there were none so just GO FOR IT and add ingredients. I added about 1-1/2 tsp of ground coffee into the mix for fun. It was not noticeable and I think added to the whole sensory experience. Eat immediately then transfer leftovers (if any) to a covered container. Share with family and friends and enjoy!
DH says he would omit the espresso powder & grounds and go with that. Me, I LOVE IT just the way it is. I think I will have it for BREAKFAST!
Taste Test! Sugar Free Maple Syrups
24
Jan
When you want syrup you really want something that tastes like what we call syrup. For this installment Myra takes a quick tour of a few name brand sugar free syrups. Since she is not a food professional nor is she paid or sponsored by anyone these are her real time comments.
If you have another suggestion for a sugar free syrup Myra would love to have your opinion and the name of the syrup, too. Just leave it in the comments section at the bottom of the page or use the Contact page to let her know.
Have other ideas for taste tests for Myra? I happen to know she loves a taste test about as well as anything else foodly.

Oh I just discovered this little teensy place off of Barrett Parkway near the Town Center Mall that packs a HUGE sushi punch. You need to check this place out. It is very cute inside and they offer great deals on Bento Box Lunch Specials. Very clean, very fresh and very fast. I love America!

This is more than a meal it is an entertainment and cultural experience. A new meaning to the word fresh with endless sides. Be adventurous and start off with an enormous sized appetizer the Korean-style pancake pa jeon with seafood and scallion is served on a sizzling iron platter. It is a tasty pancake-omelette that is stuffed with squid, oysters and loads of tasty green onions chives and herbs.
Then go to the seafood stew with egg. It comes out of the kitchen in a stoneware pot and boils done right in front of you, the server cracking a fresh brown egg into the sizzling stew. Truly authentic Korean BBQ available too with seven of their tables fitted with built-in grills and large overhead fans for parties of two or more who wish to cook their own fresh selections and served in beautiful stoneware.

Such a Jerk!

Please give me a THUMBS UP at the bottom of my review on facebook No Reservations: Hungry for More inspired by Anthony Bourdain and The Travel Channel.
Caribbean food includes all of your favorites??seafood, chicken and steak??prepared with the flavorful and colorful ingredients of the islands. Some popular dishes are coconut shrimp, jerk chicken pasta, chicken kabobs, ribs with guava BBQ sauce and Key Lime Pie.
Food plays a central role in family life and traditions in the islands. Cooks spend days preparing menu offerings for holidays, festivals, and special family gatherings. The cuisine of the Caribbean is like a cultural patchwork quilt. Each ??patch?? or dish represents the plentiful bounty of the islands’ lush tropical vegetation, combined with the one or more diverse groups of people that have lived there, including the original Carib and Arawak Indians, followed by the Spanish, British, French, and Dutch settlers, as well as Africans, who have had a profound influence on the food and cultural traditions of the islands. Later followed Indian and Chinese settlers, and travelers from the United States.
Try these on for size. Habanero Wings: Crisply fried and tossed in a spicy habanero pepper barbecue sauce. Bahamian Grilled Chicken Kabobs: Wood-grilled chicken breast, fresh mushrooms, onions, peppers and squash served over yellow rice.Cuban Sandwich: With ham, roast pork, salami, Swiss cheese, with lettuce, tomato, and mayonnaise, hot-pressed on Cuban bread. Chocolate Island: Rich chocolate mousse on a fudge brownie Island in milk chocolate sauce and vanilla bean anglaise.

I could live here. This place really exists. I’ve seen it with the whites of my own eyes. As seen on The Travel Channel, the world famous MUSEO del JAMON or loosely translated ‘Ham Museum’ you just gotta see and smell it for yourself. This was THE kobe beef LONG before kobe-style beef became popular with acorn and hazelnut free range grazing. When in Madrid eat and drink like the Madrilenos. Feel free to move about the country.

South of the Border, Paradise style. Newly renovated, Paradise South of the Border is an add-on to the Paradise Grille bar, and the neighbors are really happy. It is a spacious new Tex-Mex Mexican restaurant; eat-in or available outdoor tables if you wish. They also have a meeting room available at no extra cost (min 12 people). The service is very fast very friendly, and the location is very clean. Very inexpensive and great for business lunch, family date or dinner.

This place has been here forever, well ever since I have been here, and that is at least 11 years. They never mess up an order and they serve good hot fast Chinese-American style inexpensive Chinese food. They deliver ALWAYS fresh food in about 15 minutes if you are lucky enough to live or work nearby. The driver is a very nice man. The owners are good people just trying to hash out a good American living. Food is yummy and fast and I’m delighted.
