Crustaceans and Donuts

Yup, shellfish are it right now, lots and lots of details. I love fish and shellfish so it tends to make me hungry........ I am a little distressed to discover how many of my wonderful shellfish dishes that I love are cooked alive. EEEWW. I would love to cook lobster for my kids but they would probably disown me if they thought I murdered their dinner.

I made churros last week, that's Brazilian donuts, and dulce de leche, which is caramelized condensed milk. The kids love the donuts but I cooked the condensed milk too long and ended up with a very think, actually immovable, paste. So we just ate the donuts.

We had a lecturer visit last week and speak on coffee and tea. Very cool. I know now when I buy decaf to buy swiss water decaf. Why you ask? Because, if the label does not tell you anything, a dry cleaning chemical was used to decaffeinate the coffee. A process which manages to pass health safety,.....but still......I don't think I will buy it.

Oh I passed my midterm! 74% not the best, actually I spent a black night because I had wanted an A. I studied hard, ah well roast beef tonight!

Cheers
