Forking Thoughts – My Local Supermarket is Always a MESS!

Leave a reply

My local supermarket is always a mess.

This you just have to see to believe.

It’s also not as clean as I would like.

I always get blocked off from going down an aisle and forget to go back…..

I hate when the packaged food is also messy.

Sometimes it’s a mess as soon as you walk in.

This is NUTS.,,,,I can’t get to the nuts.

Sometimes things are spilled on the floor.

Instead of mopping the floor they just throw these orange pads on the floor.

Poor dog.

Another poor dog.

Another FILTHY shelf.

Some of the food you buy here has already been on the floor.

My local Supermarket is always a mess!

Notable Dish Of The Week – Prime Rib Burger from Carve Prime Rib at The Cannery Hotel/Casino North Las Vegas NV

Leave a reply

The most Notable Dish of the week was the ten ounce ground in house Prime Rib Burger from Carve Prime Rib at The Cannery in North Las Vegas Nevada. It’s just so darn flavorful and juicy. The majority of burgers out there just don’t come close to the delicious flavors here in this burger. I prefer my burger without cheese but Swiss cheese is the cheese that is included with this burger. The great BIG burger comes with sautéed mushrooms, the usual lettuce, tomato, onion, pickle, and skinny fries in a heated bowl. Some people will get two meals out of it and some people do eat the whole thing.

***Update Cook’s Country Potato Cheddar Pierogi Recipe

Leave a reply

One of the all-time-BEST recipes I ever came across was the Cook’s Country Cheddar Pierogi Recipe. (Published on here but slightly different I think the only difference was that I fried mine). Usually Pierogi are served like ravioli (just boiled) and the next day get served fried but I think pierogi are always tastier fried.

My ****UPDATE**** is that I just learned by accident that the pierogi come out even better if the filling is chilled hard. When the filling is fresh made it is too soft to shape and stuff well…..

I had chilled cheddar potato filling that I made for stuffed potatoes and I thought the leftover I’d make into pierogi. That is how I figured it out.

That is my update to Cook’s Country Potato Cheddar Pierogi Recipe.

Notable Dish Of The Week – Emeril’s Banana Cream Pie from Delmonico Steakhouse at The Venetian By Emeril Las Vegas NV

Leave a reply

This was a better than average week with a lot of great food. One of the dishes that is always incredible is Emeril’s Banana Cream Pie. It’s so life changing that even if you hate banana cream pies you will love this one. My husband HATES banana cream pies but also loves Emeril’s Banana Cream Pie because it really is FORKING AMAZING and like no other. It’s just FORKING DELICIOUS. It is a sin and a shame if you go anywhere where there is a Emeril’s Restaurant and don’t get the Banana Cream Pie.

Available in several states but my last one was at….

Supermarket Discounts are getting harder to do now

Leave a reply

Back in the old days……..(not so long ago)…..You only needed your shoppers card to get your supermarket discount sale items.

Besides using your shopper’s card…….several years back they added an annoying digital add on to get discounted sale prices.

Now there is another new choice for discounts.

Now we suffer with Delivery or Drive up and go prices.

UGH!!!!!

And That’s The Forking Truth

Notable Dish Of The Week – Japanese Baby Peaches from – Bazaar Mar by Jose Andres – Las Vegas NV

Leave a reply

Bazaar Mar is a Seafood Tapas Restaurant with Spanish Embellishments by multi award wining and Michelin Stared Chef and Restauranteur Jose Andres and Team. This week it was quite hard to pick the notable dish since almost any from Bazaar Mar could be the Notable dish. A close choice for me would have been the mini fish shaped sandwich on a special hallow bread called bagel and lox. It was really exciting but the Japanese Peaches with za’atar were also extra exciting.

Japanese Baby Peaches from Bazaar Mar

The little green fruits are the Japanese Peaches. The plate also contains stracciatella cheese, hazelnuts, little crunchy bites, fresh green leaves, and za’atar.

You are suppose to gather one of each on your spoon to eat it.

It’s so interesting…..So different……It’s also light and refreshing.

The Japanese Baby Peaches from Bazaar Mar is the Notable Dish of The Week!

Notable Dish of The Week – Funghi Fritti from Bramare – Las Vegas NV

1 Reply

Bramare is a newly opened modern Italian Inspired restaurant located about ten minutes from the Las Vegas Strip in Nevada. They serve incredible dishes and I was torn between three dishes they served me. They served the most amazing salmon collar I ever had anywhere. The only reason that isn’t the notable dish of the week is because the cucumber salad they paired with the salmon collar was good but was a bit stronger with flavors and was a little too strong for the fish. The other crazy great dish was the broccolini that had taste and textures like no other……I went with the Funghi Fritti because it was absolutely perfect and had maybe the most going on with it. It was these unusual honshimeji mushrooms that were lightly coated and fried with a crisp but extra thin coating. They were dressed with a garlic Chile sauce and also were embellished with pecorino cheese. This is a really great dish that almost anyone would enjoy.

The Notable Dish of the week was the Funghi Fritti from Bramare.

Showing Off is just to show you that I am still cooking or baking things.

Up above is a plain pizza with a good amount of fresh mozzarella on it.

Next is a slightly different onion galette. I used asiago cheese and added seeds and flake sea salt to the ends of the crust.

Below are spaghetti cupcakes

Next are-

Baked Salmon Mousse Balls and I also made a Mandarin Ginger Sauce to go with them and they sit on these cute little cracker bowls.

Sweet Potato Hand Pies

From the leftover sweet potato filling I just added an egg, more sugar, flour, baking powder, baking soda, pomegranate, and a few chocolate chips, and then embellished the tops.

I packaged them like this.

That was a little bit of showing off.

My FORKING Thoughts on Savoursmiths Truffle Rosemary Vegan Luxury English Potato Chips

Leave a reply

I noticed these Savoursmiths Truffle Rosemary Potato Chips for around $6.99 a bag at my local Sprouts Grocery. They became discontinued and were marked down to a $1. a bag so I decided to give them a try.

The bag is marked Vegan and the ingredients don’t seem too far out so they seem safe to try.

I open the bag and take a whiff.

They smell strange…………Maybe a little like a herbal soap?

I pour some out.

The chips differ in size from small to large in size and do appear to have bubbly layers in the chips……

Texture-wise the chips are amazing. Crisp but not too crisp with layers also dry and not oily.

but-

The chips are coated very heavy with powders and are over seasoned. They even seem cheesy but cheese is not listed in the ingredients.

Between the cheesy taste, mushroom, onion, garlic, thyme, rosemary, truffle it is all too much and is far too powdery to enjoy.

Those were my FORKING Thoughts on Savoursmiths Truffle and Rosemary Chips.

Your FORKING Thoughts may indeed differ.

My Forking Thoughts on Pumpkin Pie M&M’s – Oy Veh

Leave a reply

I used to love M&M’s Candies. I grew up enjoying the original and peanut varieties and latter I enjoyed the almond variety. Over the decades these candies changed things up and also introduced new flavors. Some I liked and some I didn’t care for……It’s been a very long time since I found a new flavor so I gave these Pumpkin Pie M&M’s a try.

WOW! It says on the front of bag ARTIFICIAL FLAVOR ………how good can that be?……..

Anyways

The M&M’s are different colors (Orange, Brown, White) and different sizes? Regular and mega?

I taste some…….I taste some more……

These are just too fake tasting to identify.

They sure DON’T TASTE ANYTHING LIKE PUMPKIN PIE

But even worse……

They don’t taste like chocolate either….

They are kinda sweet but not too sweet like some of them….

They just don’t taste like anything familiar.

Those were my FORKING THOUGHTS on Pumpkin Pie M&M’s I do note that YOUR FORKING THOUGHTS may indeed differ.
