    They're usually just called bush oysters, in my experience.

    oh, yeah, true. But this was something to do with a very specific animal (can't remember which), and was quite clever.

    Not quite cooking, canning. Just starting the last few years, the jalapenos were bought from the farmers market.

    ks73vyuxs7k8.jpg

    Left is pickled and candied jalapenos. Left middle pickled green beans with dill and minced garlic. Middle right is pickled zucchini, dried red pepper, pepper corns, garlic cloves, dill, carrots and baby onions. Far right is simple just pickled zucchini, garlic cloves and pepper corns. Yes the two on the left have already been opened. The two on the right were quick pickled, not self stable, so they stay in the fridge.

    It is quick/cold pickled so it all stays in fridge. Other than the veg as I mentioned white wine vinegar, small amount of red wine vinegar, kosher salt, very small amount of brown sugar and a bit of ground black pepper corns. Heat that up let it cool and add to jar with veg before you seal it. Again though that is not shelf stable, still needs to stay cold.

    Ok. So I have a fair amount of fresh mint from my mint plant. Any thoughts/ideas on what I should do with it/use it for?

    Mint chocolate chip ice cream, mint ganache (for anything, really, but I used it in truffles) and Moroccan mint tea were my three favorite ways to use fresh mint when we grew it. My wife would probably insist on including mojitos too.

    Mint infuses milk or cream really nicely, so anything you would make with dairy like that can be flavored with mint pretty easily. Make a mint creme brulee. Infuse your milk and then make chocolate pudding with a really nice mint flavor. Anything like that.

    If you want more savory options, look into different Middle Eastern cuisines. Ottolenghi uses it in green couscous and all kinds of different salads and other dishes.

    Hey here's a food idea I had yesterday:

    Chips Benedict

    Poached egg, diced ham and hollandaise on a bed of chunky chips/fries. Ideally paired with a frosty Bloody Mary and eaten during the grey hours between the night before and the morning after.

    Eggs Benny on a rosti is excellent, so chips Benedict sounds like a winner!

    I made my first ever batch of macarons and while they're far too big they didn't crack, feeling good (they're orange due to food coloring because I'm filling them with pumpkin cheesecake)

    Pretty sure I’ve had a potato hash thing similar to this and it was excellent, so count me the heck in. Make mine on wedges please.

    a place called 'The White Rabbit' serves this exact dish not 15 miles from my house. They call it breakfast poutine and it is the stuff of sin

    It's possible there might be a massive crippling ice storm coming through this week. So I'm making a giant pot of burgundy beef stew just in case.

    Please do me a favor and smoke some garlic and report back on how it tastes. I've never heard of it before, but I'm sure it's a thing.

    The supermarket I go to sells bulbs of smoked garlic. It's good for dressing and such, but the smokiness is lost in cooking.
