If I eat wurst with no onion, then it's mustard. Weird huh?
Yes!

Jimmy.. what is liverwurst? pork or beef liver? I remembered when we grew up we like to eat liver paste, spread them on a slice of bread.. yum2.. I can't find it anymore, it was a Chinese canned product

bethk wrote:Imelda, the meal I had at Outback was pretty good.  We haven't been there in years...Dane's not a big steak lover anymore.  I had a new offering...called "flights".  It was a couple chunks of their house sirloin ( cooked medium rare) on a little deep fried potato pattie and a slathering of bernaise sauce and it came with a side of green beans.  It wasn't a large serving so I didn't get too stuffed, although I think a hungry person would have thought it was more of an appetizer serving.  It was only $10.99 for the two and also was offered with 3 as well as 2 or 3 using their filet instead of sirloin.  Dane ordered a rack of lamb and he said it was " ok".... Not exceptional, but good.  

The main thing was getting together with our friends.  The food was incidental.  And, Jimmy, Barney wanted to get that darn burger delux again but decided to follow suit with everyone else and had a steak last night.  He did make some funny comments about the Bloomin' Onion appetizer.  He wanted to know what kind of onion plant to buy to grow one out in front of the jail.....lol

I think I saw their steak flight ads on TV, it looks delicious... I've never tried other thing except Rib eye steak.. the last time I was there, they did not charge my meal, because I could not finish my steak, it was so dry (I ordered medium well).. I did not complain, but the waiter saw it and asked me why.. so I told him I could not eat it, too dry, no pink at all and so tough to chew.. then the manager came out and told me they'd make me a new plate if I wanted.. I said I did not want it ( I was stuffed with their Blooming Onions anyway   .. so they took  my order out of the receipt.. nice, right

bethk wrote:Imelda, I've never had a different color Jasmine rice.  Was it a nuttier flavor?  It looks like you made a sort of fried rice?  Chicken thighs are my favorite, too!  It looks really yummy....enough brown sugar to give a molasses flavor and get some crunch around the edges...good stuff!

I don't like that recipe. The pudding is Too Much Pudding, and not enough rice. Plus it is too creamy. I like my rice pudding more on the dry side, and the long grain rice like Uncle Bens
used. I don't like raisins in the pudding either, and even though I love raisins.
Not in Pudding for me!

  actually rice pudding should be made with short grain or sticky rice. this rice is more starchy.

It absorbs the sweetened milk wonderfully without turning mushy.
