I am going to make my mom's cinnamon rolls today -- if I can get enough energy to open the flour bag.  

She made the best cinnamon rolls.

So... - did you get that bag of flour open?

I am feeling the same way about making bread today - you have to be in the mood.

Now cinnamon rolls - that sounds much tastier than plain bread! (drool)

I did not.  I managed to look at the flour bag, but that was about as far as I got.

So - guess what I ended up making? I took my bread dough, rolled it out into a rectangle then spread it with butter mixed with brown sugar plus another quarter cup of brown sugar on top of that. Then I rolled it up and put it in the bread pan. After it rose and doubled in size I baked it (it smelled so good!)

It was a cinnamon raisin loaf already - turned out good but I better watch myself - I might end up regaining those 20 pounds I lost if I am not careful

I made my cinnamon rolls last night.  Not my best batch, but adequate in my time of need.

Looking at this delicious menu, the very first sandwich, the falafel -- part of the ingredient is "Rocket".  What is rocket?

And I would definitely try that warm herb potato salad, but what exactly is black pudding again?  I should know this but I forgot.

Smashed avocado and poached eggs -- I've never had a poached egg, but I would try this.

Yep.  I could eat my way through this menu.

Hedda Gabler

Oh hell.  They have a pasta menu.

Hedda Gabler

Oh man. Barry & Browne looks really tasty too!

Hedda Gabler

Oh my god I'm so hungry.  What I would give for someone cooking me a great meal.

Rocket is a plant leaf that's used mainly in salads.

Black pudding is a type of sausage made with pigs blood and a couple of other ingredients. It's normally cut into circular slices and either fried or grilled.

ahhhh, arugula -- yes I know that.

Eeewwww.  Maybe I couldn't eat that black pudding thing.  Have you eaten that? Is it good? Something similar you could compare the taste to? perhaps, chicken?

Hedda Gabler

I will move food talk to Neesy's thread.

Yep I've had black pudding more times than I can remember, I can't place it's texture close with anything else, both the black and the white pudding are somewhat spicy, it's a perfect breakfast food, a traditional Irish breakfast would not be complete without pudding included on the plate.

So you've got a ❤ reaction emoji purely for the "traditional Irish breakfast "... but please know this: should I actually wake up in Ireland one day and we were to meet and decided on a breakfast someplace? You would be the one eating the black pudding. I'll stick to the bacon, thank you. 😄

We called it "blood pudding" when I was growing up in Canada. It is a little spicy. We'd fry up slices of it about 1 cm thick. Didn't think too deeply about what it was made of, but it was good!

My old Mom loved this stuff too - she had a hard time finding it in Canada (compared to when she was back home in Scotland). We would all gag and make gross noises when she talked about it.

Maybe it was an east coast Canada thing -- a lot of us had Scottish ancestors only a couple of generations back. My great-great-grandfather on my mother's side emigrated from Arran in the 1830s. There was a section of the town near us called "Inch Arran" -- I understand Inch means Island in Scottish.

I'm 41% Scottish.  I'm not eating blood discs.
