premade tartlet shells in SEA?
Obviously this is an old post, but something else you can do is make your own tartlet dough and use reusable metal shells. I got mine for $0.59/piece. And maybe you can buy the dough fresh from a market perhaps? Or make your own at home. Anyway, just an idea I wanted to throw out there.
Quick, Casual Dinner before Tanglewood
Find a grocery store, something like Fresh Market, Whole Foods, IGA, whatever and make your own dinner. Something that does well cold or at room temperature, like sandwiches, sushi, noodle salads, potato salads, regular salads, fruit, yogart, whatever! and find someplace nice to park it and eat. Tanglewood? I'm sure you can find a good view. And while you're at it, get a soda or two. I think that would be fun, tastey, and quicker than sitting down, staring at the menu, ordering, waiting, eating, checking out, and driving off. And probably cheaper. And you get the tips.
Foods to enjoy at room temp/slightly warm
When I lived in Italy last year I learned a lot about food, how to store it, and how to eat it. I was working with an opera company in Lucca (Toscany) and there were 6 of us musicians crammed into on apartment. We had one fridge and two sets of bookcases we used as shelves. Tomatoes, along with most vegetables and fruit, don't need to be refridgerated till after they've been cut. A suggestion: a great healthy snack is tomato with some olive oil and sea salt drizzled over it. Tastes great, especially when its hot outside. They don't believe in AC in Italy, and I don't either. Once you live w/o it you never miss it.
Boiled Egg Frustration - Peeling
The longer you wait after making hard boiled eggs the easier it can be to peel. It's usually most difficult right after they've cooled. I usually make them a day ahead of time or in the morning etc. I'm too impatient to wait...so it's easier if I do it and then forget about them. Anyway...good luck.
Frozen strawberries?
Goodhealthgourmet pretty much hit the nail on the head. They would make a really great sauce. You could do it with short bread or ice cream etc. Another idea would maybe to make some sort of bread with it? I always use bananas for banana bread. But maybe strawberry banana bread? Sounds wierd, but sometimes experiments prove to be good treats. Or jello? Lol. Jello is cheap, and if you have kids, usually a success. You could always just do the jello thing and feed your mushy strawberries to the kids...I experiment with my little cousins all the time.
Um...you could also make a nice compost out of them :P
Application Error!!
I'm getting really tired of trying to access a recipe and coming up with this application error page. I come to Chow to find recipes for Beef Bulgogi or the Carrot/Mushroom Bulgar on the Recipes Page. Anyway, Sup with that??
