All this liver talk. I feel like fava beans and nice Chianti.

Tonight I think I'll try my hand at Home Chef's chicken, mushroom, and ancient grain risotto. And wine, definitely wine!

:D There had to be someone in the crowd.

I made fettuccine with spotted prawns in a sage cream sauce.

Charcoal Brioche ?

Yes , seems quite popular to use activated charcoal powder , food grade , these days for healthy wellness trend .
The charcoal brioche / buns will always be obvious as are the only black ones if served in a basket ( unless others ones are also charcoal ) rye is lighter shade .

Fascinating. Does it taste just like a regular brioche, or otherwise are you able to describe it's unique taste?

That’s an awesome price for any fish. Around here, maybe tilapia or catfish in sale, but most fish would retail at $10-25 a pound.

thanks. Costco Sf. Yet if it’s from Canada, how can it be fresh? Surely it’s frozen on boat, shipped to a Costco distribution center, trucked to the local Costco store, thawed, and repackaged in-store.

I am strongly trusting that it’s wild and not farmed.

mega yum! Where’d you get the ingredients? How easy are they to make? I did read that inserting frozen soup within the dumpling is how the soup is part of the dumpling; I read it in a China tourism magazine or webpage in 2006.

Umm, someone else prepared them... I think they were premade, so not freshly made.

Regardless, they were tasty. :)
