If anyone would like to see a recipe for my pickle chicken, you can find it (along with several others) here.

I finished it today... need to start thinking about what to make this week. I have the idea to maybe try marinating ground turkey in pickle juice to make pickle-flavored turkey burgers, which I bet would be really great with some ketchup and mustard.

My daughters brought me back some Shake Shack after going to a night time light parade in Phoenix.

Enjoyed the bacon burger. I got about half of a chocolate milk and cookie shake, and I swear it about put me in a diabetic coma. It’s got to be the sweetest milkshake I’ve had in my life.

Is that Bob's? Seeing that donut has me tempted to pick up a baker's dozen this morning.

Well , no German CHRISTmas markets or even Advent VTL flights to SEA , YVR or even SFO . But we have Raffles Hotel :)

First at the Lobby Lounge for high tea and then the Long Bar . Others adjourned to the Butcher Block for dinner .
Descriptions of victuals will be posted later . The menus were only on QRCodes 😬 😳

The waiter from Estonia at the Long Bar could recite the drinks & descriptions for us too , actually the whole menu ‼️ 😉
FYI , we are not permitted to drop / throw the peanut shells on the floor any more ..

You guys have my envy! My two favorite bars in the world are both long ones--the Raffles and the Waldorf Astoria on the Bund. Even now, whether it's from a sense of tradition or superstition, I still order my drinks on the left end of the bar whenever possible.

Stunning pics by the way, and has me longing for the unrestricted travel I used to take for granted.

Breakfast: home fries, spicy vegetarian sausage, 3 extra large eggs cooked over unintentionally hard as I got distracted reading the newspaper. Espresso roast k-cup coffee, OJ.

Breakfast: banana greek yogurt, Cheerios
Lunch: spicy tuna roll (did not eat the rice), salad, light chicken noodle soup\
Afternoon snack: sweet potato

I now have four turkey patties marinating in pickle juice. I am very excited to see how this turns out, though I'm not sure if I should make them tonight or wait until tomorrow. I have a 50% coupon for Uber Eats expiring tonight that I would like to use.

Is there something about pickle juice flavor that makes something extra delicious? I guess I don’t see the upside. :)

I don't know about turkey burgers but pickle juice is a thing. Great flavor and saltiness. I have always heard it for chicken. But I also love pickle flavored potato chips and even cashews.

I have always loved pickles... I tried it with chicken on a whim over the summer and it was great. The other day I thought it would be great with a burger (since burgers are often served with pickles). I actually just finished making it and... well I guess we'll see when I try it tomorrow. I do not think it will be as successful as I was hoping.

Dinner tonight was steamed chicken breast and steamed veggies (and a whole wheat pita) from Eva's Kitchen in Kew Gardens. Had an Uber Eats coupon so got that along with extra steamed veggies and an egg white wrap that I will have tomorrow.

You would love pickles on pizza....a pastrami pizza.
