The Thanksgiving Feast in a Bag Potato Chips by Boulder. A full Thanksgiving Flavored Dinner of Potato Chips.

Turkey and Gravy Flavored Chips.

I found these inedible. These were the forking worst of the bunch for me. There is a nasty powder on them.I can’t stomach them. It was sawdust and chemicals to me.  My companion said they taste like cheap turkey gravy.

The Stuffing Flavored Chips.

They taste like thyme and little bit of poultry seaoning with a little bit of something bitter.

The Pumpkin Pie Potato Chips.

Something is missing. I get cinnamon,  nutmeg, a tiny bit of sweetness,  and something like a buttered potato.

Cranberry Sauce Potato Chips

These Chips have a Slight red tint added. They have a little tartness and a little sweetness to them with a potato taste. They taste almost like children’s strawberry breakfast flavored cereal but with potatoes.

Maybe Sherif Joe had these chips made for the prisoners in his jail for their Thanksgiving Meal? Because these would make the Forking Saddest Thanksgiving ever.

Forking Truth

I wasn’t forking sure what Red Velvet Flavor is suppose to be? Every-time I tried it I didn’t care for it because it was like not so good tasting bloody looking chocolate with a not so good tasting icing. Not good enough to be chocolate and not yummy enough frosting to eat….to me.  I do know most people forking like Red Velvet. Maybe I just haven’t had a good Red Velvet yet?

I did a little FORKING research. (and no I would NEVER eat a red velvet pop-tart)

NO FORKING BODY KNOWS the exact forking history of the Red Velvet Cake.

Some people believe somebody from the New York Waldorf Astoria invented it in the 1920s.

The definition of a Red Velvet Cake is a Reddish Buttermilk Coca Layer Cake topped with cooked Roux Icing or a Cream Cheese Icing. The Reddish Color is either from Beet Root or Food Coloring.

There isn’t a forking lot of difference between Mayonnaise and Aioli. This is what they are.

Mayonnaise is an emulsion of neutral oil, egg yolk, lemon juice or vinegar. Adding the addition of mustard to Mayonnaise turns the sauce into Remoulade.

Aioli was invented in France. Aioli is hand made by pounding garlic cloves into a paste and then whipping egg yolk, lemon juice, and olive oil into the mixture.

Forking Truth

In 1941 CheeriOats were introduced and became what we all know as Cherrios and are made by General Mills.

Some time in 1976 General Mills said a Forking Cherrio to just selling regular forking Cheerios so today you have maybe TEN flavors to pick from.

Fruity Cheerios (for when your thinking about that cute Birdie Sam, The Fruit Loop Bird)

Multi Grain Cheerios Peanut Butter (unless you have a peanut allergy)

Multi Grain Cheerios Dark Chocolate Crunch (because we hear Dark Chocolate is healthy)

Frosted Cheerios (because original Cheerios are just too forking healthy)

Apple Cinnamon Cheerios (an apple a day keeps the doctor away)

Honey Nut Cheerios Medley Crunch (sometimes you feel like a nut)

Honey Nut Cheerios (without the forking medley or forking crunch but hey there is a free car inside)

Cheerios Protein (????)

Multi Grain Cheerios (For when you don’t really feel like eating forking Cheerios)

In 2009 Cheerios had to pull their Forking Advertising of saying things like “You can lower your Cholesterol 4% in 6 Weeks” because the FDA said that kind of advertising made Cheerios to be an unapproved DRUG due to labeling.

2014 – Cheerios are no longer made with genetically modified ingredients.

Cheerios meets the Criteria to be certified for the American Heart Association.

Forking Truth

The Forking Truth is that Red Kidney are the most Toxic of Beans.

Oddly UNDERCOOKED red Kidney Beans may be MORE TOXIC than raw red kidney beans.

NEVER cook red kidney beans in a slow cooker because the slow cooker doesn’t boil and will never get hot enough to kill the dangerous protein in red kidney beans that can make you forking sick!

Eating as few as 4 or 5 undercooked red kidney beans can onset extreme nausea, vomiting, and diarrhea.

Some forking truth about Red Kidney Beans.

Forking Truth

Sushi fish must be fresh and sweet tasting and the rice should be seasoned and be prepared to the proper texture. Sushi is meant to be eaten in one bite so the size does matter. Soy sauce is used to season the fish and fresh grated (or real from frozen wasabi) not powdered wasabi is the perfect compliment. Ginger is used to clear your pallet between courses. When made correctly sushi is delicious light and healthy.

I prefer Sushi over Carpaccio. Both are forking raw. Something about eating raw cow flesh is less appetizing to me than the pretty colored sushi.

A local place near me did all these things correctly but has changed ownership and isn’t the same anymore.

From Sushi Catcher Glendale AZ (still open but under new ownership with different recipes)

Made two attempts to find good sushi in the area.

YUK! Old and not good! This place recently changed ownership and has a very good rating on a review site.

Looks good but not so good. Not tasty….. The rice isn’t right and not sure about the fish. Sometimes it’s hard to tell the difference between quality and freshness.

The test for me is to try something with tuna. If a Sushi place can make raw tuna taste good it usually is a winner. This Tuna didn’t taste delicious to me and I already wasn’t a fan of the way they make their rice as it was too soft and missing seasoning. This place also has an excellent rating on a review site but has only a very average rating according to our local newspaper.

The search for Good Local Sushi may continue.

Forking Truth

According to the Arizona Republic The Forking Truth is that 70% of all pumpkin in Arizona are grown for forking ornamentation. I wonder how those pretty white pumpkins would look as food?

I normally buy Kabocha Squash. I think this is one of the best tasting of the squash and or pumpkins that I tried. It’s sweet and creamy and has sort of a chestnut flavor. Pictured below is a Kabocha Squash.

Some people call the Kabocha Squash a Thai Pumpkin or a Japanese Pumpkin. But I think it looks the same as an Italian Delica Pumpkin.

So I’m not sure WTFork it really is?  Thai, Japanese, Italian and is it  Squash or Forking Pumpkin?

You basically have two ways to prepare it. The first way is good for a mashed kind of dish or a sauce. If you are careful and get it out at the right time it won’t be too soft and be firmer than being just mashed.  I recommend this way the most because it’s easy and you won’t get hurt preparing it this way.

I recommend just roasting it in a 375 degree oven in a covered pan with a little water. Depending on it’s size it might take 1-1 1/2 hours to get it fork tender. You might want to flip it half way but I usually don’t need to.  When cool enough to handle just cut in half scape out the seeds and then scoop out the flesh. Some of the Chefs on Food Network say you can eat the shell but I don’t care for it.

Another way to do more with your Squash (or Pumpkin) is to clean it up before roasting it.

Scoop out the centers.

Peal

Chop in Chunks and either steam till fork tender or roast in a covered pan with a little water for about an hour or until fork tender.

The peal method isn’t for everyone. I heard somewhere that many food related accidents are from handling hard squash in this way. You need the right knife, pealer and enough strength to do this or you might forking wind up in the hospital. To prepare the squash (or pumpkin) this way would be good for Kobocha Gnocchi, Pumpkin Risotto  or Pumpkin Curry.

I think more than 30% of Arizona’s Pumpkins should be forking used to eat and not just thrown away.

Just trying to select the Classic Premium Saltine Cracker has now become  forking dizzying in the grocery store.

It is too much work to break your forking crackers in your soup so just buy the new small sized  crackers.

Maybe you don’t care for the square shape? So go for the round shape.

You can buy the crackers in smaller wrapped portions to forking cut back on your plastic wrap usage.

Maybe you like your crackers shaped like oyster crackers?

You might have a whole household that needs a bunch of these crackers.

You can go forking Crackers at the Super Market.
