Cookin again

[Dannyalcatraz]

In many countries, people take their hot tea with some form of dairy and sugar. As someone who usually has tea- hot or iced- with nothing more than some lemon juice, that seemed odd to me. About a decade ago, I tried it at an Indian restaurant, and liked it. But it didn’t affect my preferences.

Since then I’ve tried Burmese and Yemeni teas that used sweetened condensed milk, and enjoyed the hell out of it! I still prefer my minimalist tea, but when I hit a Burmese or Yemeni joint, I take it their way.

One day, though, I thought why not try iced tea with dairy & sweetened? So while I was at a buffet that had free soft-serve ice cream, I tried some vanilla in my unsweetened tea. Pretty good!

When I tried it a second time, I used a chocolate soft-serve. The results were similar to an iced coffee.

Again, I still usually drink my minimalist tea, but I do enjoy the occasional tea float, and tonight was one of those times.

I’m same usually don’t like dairy in tea or coffee. Some teas it just works well.

Sometimes, at the holidays, if I'm feeling festive I pop a little eggnog in my coffee.

I often put coffee liqueur (usually Kahlua) in my eggnog.

I don't like dairy in tea. Black no suger. Dash of cold water maybe.

Coffee is different and at home drink pod coffees. No suger.

I l8k mocha from a cafe but don't add marshmallows or chocolate fish. The hot chocolate has suger in it. 1-2 per week.

I am having a bad, very bad, totally horrific cooking day. Ever make a recipe you know worked before and have it turn into a disaster? Beef carbonnade isn't supposed to be difficult, and I'm more than a little worried it's in the process of destroying the pot. Oh, well.

Well, good news. My wife's birthday dinner came out tasty, if not exactly the texture I expected; and even though I was willing to clean out the Le Creuset, she is--and she seems to be having some success.

Prabelem solved?

Prabelem solved?

Mostly, but there's still some cruft in the pot that's being a bit of a payn.

I'm here for this.
