Tom Hanks did OK in Cast Away... <br />But if we're keeping real, I guess fish of any kind 3 times and then manicotti (with quality lean poultry in the sauce?) could suffice for dinner (fixed in different ways, of course, since it's fantasy).Cal Orey, Author-Intuitivehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08907014033577524662noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8446697274481194462.post-5534513198605237422009-08-14T18:42:20.723-07:002009-08-14T18:42:20.723-07:00No meat in Caesar Salad. I've had one from the...No meat in Caesar Salad. I've had one from the original place where it comes from the Caesar Hotel in down town Tijuana Mexico. That was one of the best dinners I've had there. I've been there several times over the years and it's always as good.<br /><br />I've been making my own pasta for a couple years now and I have to say fresh home made pasta is the greatest. I saw a English chef that has a TV show on cooking do it on a late night talk show in minutes. I liked buying fresh pasta but still that's not as fresh as making it and eating it that day. The quality, thickness and taste are all so much better. I make it with butter, black pepper and fresh grated cheese. The dry stuff pregrated works but it's nothing like doing it fresh where the cheese is soft and not crusty like the stuff in cans or bins. Cook 5 minutes, add a cup of cold water to stop the cooking and drain. Though the goodies on and eat.<br /><br />I see the company in Italy makes newer pasta machine which are manual but you can get a motorised add-on. They also make ravioli add-on maker. <br /><br />I've wrote to the factory in Italy and the owner is very nice. Said I eat my pasta then she does. They have machines from around $30 dollars to several thousands for a full on kitchen in a restaurant. They also come in nice pastel colors, mine an older one, was chrome plated.<br /><br />Ice cream, never thought I see that there was much difference in it. Sure there are premium brands but I tasted some home made ice cream at the casino,(REd Hawk) not to far from me. It's so good even vanila is better then any store bought. Last time I was there they had fresh blueberries added to vanila ice cream.Out at Bob'shttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16955456500125663553noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8446697274481194462.post-71974394156490787902009-08-14T17:59:11.128-07:002009-08-14T17:59:11.128-07:00Brainstorm.

Since I'm the one who doesn't like to cook/bake--I may be tempted to take some shortcuts. I'd order a gourmet all-natural homemade pie (that's going to take some work); the salad is easy to do; ice cream--got it covered; manicotti I can make as well as the lobster (a task). <br /><br />Do you feel this would be an easy day of cooking/baking?Cal Orey, Author-Intuitivehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08907014033577524662noreply@blogger.com
