Four Foods on Friday #48
Going to get this in real quick, then I think I need to get to bed, even though it's early for me. Sandy's had vomiting bouts in the middle of the night the past three nights, and when it happens, I just can't get back to sleep. Plus, it's taken me over an hour to fall asleep as well, so I'm running on about 8 or 9 hours of sleep total since Tuesday night.
#1. Melon. What’s your favorite kind?
Watermelon! Especially when we get it from a local farm stand and it's icy cold out of the refrigerator. I think I could eat a whole one myself, but I force myself to share. Even the dogs go crazy for it, especially Sandy.
#2. Orange citrus. What’s your favorite - oranges, nectarines, navel oranges, tangerines, etc.
Blood oranges. Gruesome name, absolutely delicious fruit. A blush of red on the skin, and the fruit inside is ruby, sometimes almost purple. The taste is reminiscent of raspberry. Unfortunately, we can't get them until after Christmas. Until then, I really like Mineolas.
#3. Oreos. What kind is your favorite? (Don’t eat Oreos? What about olives?)
Trader Joe's version of Oreos is the best. At Christmastime, they make a peppermint version that puts the Girl Scout Thin Mints to shame. But my heart would belong to anybody that would make an Oreo-type cookie with a coffee cream center.
#4. Pot pie. Share a recipe. (No pot pie recipe? What about a casserole or some other hot meal you bake?)
I always use Bisquick's Impossibly Easy Chicken Pot Pie recipe. I use fat-free cream of chicken soup and skim milk to make it a little less fattening.
Good night!
