Mushrooms

We've all been there. Standing in front of the spices in the grocery store.

Why is there no dried mushroom spice/flavor? I mean they can come up with a ton of different stuff, most of which most of us have never heard of. But mushrooms are delicious in everything from spaghetti, pizza, most other pastas, and a ton of other stuff, but we always have to buy mushrooms (which go bad quickly) for this addition. McDonalds even puts freeze-dried onions on some of their "fresh" burgers. Yeah.

The 30-Second Watermelon Challenge

Source / Via

I can probably do it in 30-40 seconds, but if I tried to beat 21, I'd lose a few fingers.

Yep.

Every kitty does this. Tons of edible material in the bowl is not good enough. So they seek you out, act like you're their best friend for 20 minutes.. Then you realize "ahh, must be out of food." Refill not completely full bowl. There you go. Repeat...

Fried Mushrooms

My pic

This makes some excellent fried mushrooms! I've actually never tried it at home before, but I was definitely impressed with my first attempt. Heat up a packet of instant cream gravy to go along with it.

Hint: Instead of 1/2 cup of mix & 1/3 cup water for the batter, use all the rest of the mix that's left after dusting the 'shrooms, in the correct proportion of course.. You'll need it all. Then you can drip batter into the deep fryer for crunchies!

I also added a pinch of salt, and a shake or two of both cayenne pepper & black pepper to the mix.

Homemade Ranch Dressing

Here is a link to a delicious-looking homemade ranch dressing that I found.. (somewhere)

Here is the Pioneer Woman's home page.

I can't wait to try this! It's fairly common in my house that we are out of ranch dressing, so this is a gem.

Spicy Wontons

Source / Via - (NSFW)

There's this appetizer my wife and I love to get at a local Chinese Restaurant. It's called Spicy Wontons. We've tried our best to figure out how to make the delicious sauce, to no avail. When I saw this picture, I had to save it and post it. That looks almost exactly like the sauce in question - the only difference is they serve the sauce over the pork-filled wontons. And they're not fried, but probably boiled.. like meat-filled noodles.. with yummy, extra spicy goodness on top.

Family Destroys Norwegian Cabin

Apparently a family of FOUR broke into a Norwegian cabin earlier this week. The owners found the cabin completely ransacked, with a wall destroyed, and numerous furniture items completely destroyed. What's even crazier is all the food in the cabin had been eaten, and that included 100 beers!

It's a good thing the perpetrators didn't hang around when the owners returned - because the responsible individuals were not human. It was a family of bears!
