I may as well just have diluted some ... Vegemite?

Bonox and the Campbell's stock are both beef. My real whinge is that the stock made it saltier than if I'd just flung a teaspoon of Bonox in. It's really watery, so it took ages to reduce the dish to something presentable.

I'm just going back to making my own.

Pizza from the little Italian restaurant around the corner. Price just shy of 17 bucks.

Poor man's vanilla latte.

1/2 cup coffee, 1/2 cup whole milk, vanilla extract.

Good cold in the summer.

I want some of that pizza and I will be trying the vanilla extract idea.

Sharing something I did not know.

Even if a chilli isn't registering much on your taste buds it will leave enough capsaicin on your fingers (if you are infra-dig enough to eat your tuna patties with your fingers) to do horrible things to your eyes, if you rub them.

Here a better photo of how the pizzas usually look. The one I posted above was kind of sloppy.

I have bitched about this before, in regard to bacon.

Smoking is a preservation technique. The addition of nitrates is a preservation technique. Air exclusion packaging is a preservation technique. Refrigeration ... you get my drift.

How does bacon go nasty in any timeframe shorter than a century?

I bought a smoked hock 5 days ago, left it in the original packaging until I went to make pea-and-ham this morning. That hock is currently making my kitchen smell like rotting meat.
