      @Filthy:

      That Panda Express orange chicken is one of my favorite things ever. I ate it four times in a week when I was in California back in November.  🙂

      I'll have to try that one specifically.

      I´m going to make that recipe tomorrow, I planned on doing it today and bought everything but I got sucked into an online gaming session with some friends and wasnt to motivated to start cooking when we finished at 9:30 PM  😃 I´ll keep you posted.

      I cant do a comparison though, we have a lot of US Chains over here but Panda Express never made the jump and i´ve never been to the US to date.

        They actually sell the sauce in the grocery store now. Maybe you can import it on Amazon or something?

            Bonnie and I drooling over your Hasselback Harissa Roast Butternut Squash. Any chance you can point us towards a recipe?

                The promised orange chicken, i like the orange nuance but the General Tsos I made a view days ago is a tad finer and more subtile in flavor, both are almost the same amount of work so I would redo the General Tsos over the Orange.

                      Partly inspired by Giles and partly by them beeing on every social media platform all the time, hasselback potatos, creme fraiche sauce and cheese sausages form my freezer with a local ketchup (a fancy one that comes in a glas)  😉

                              That is a heartwarming looking dish @Giles, I would shovel that up.

                              @Steffen homemade creme fraiche is one of my favorite little secrets. It's simple and so much better than store bought.

                              1 cup heavy cream, 1 T buttermilk. shake it in a glass jar and let it sit on the counter for 8-24 hours depending on how thick you want it. mix in any flavors you want and add to eggs, soup, tacos, everything.

                              so good

                                      @RoxRocks86 Thank you  😉

                                      @jordanscollected That I didnt know thanks, I always buy really fancy french creme fraiche from my cheese monger but i´ll try that one for shure.

                                      @Chap I read a little Interview with the rice farmer, very intresting with the dry growing and the whole rice varietys.

                                      Today I made "real" Mac N Cheese for the first time, I usually make a Hybrid between Mac N Cheese and a Pasta Casserole, I´d say I like both so that goes into the rotation. I also bought new Flowers  😃

                                          Looks splendid @Chap I always think you´re using paper plates because the design of your plates look a bit like them.

                                          I was fed up with my mise en place situation or the lack of it so i went out to the local gastro supplier and bought 3x6Pcs of stackable Glass Jars, they are made in france and where like 10€ in total so an easy and cheap way to sort out the "problem".
