This is completely untrue. I would have left them up for all to see. :D C'mon The Velvet Curtain, did you not know that TastyReuben wore suspenders and no trousers and paraded outside his house (on my request). Can't find the link right now but the photo is somewhere on the forum.

Now I'm way off topic...

I really, really want to see it. Who shot it, Mrs. T? I'm sure the neighbors are all quite used to his antics by now. "What's that screaming noise, Mildred? Oh, it's just Mr. T in his skivvies, again. The new neighbors just got their first glimpse."

You don't know the half of it.

Once, I was in my all-together, so to speak, and remembered I needed to water the flowers out front (that's not a euphemism- I actually needed to water the flowers).

Grabbed the nearest thing to put on, which was a pair of mesh athletic shorts, popped outside, started watering...and here comes the neighbor woman.

I was trying to constantly position myself so she wouldn't see anything, which had the opposite effect, in that it drew her gaze to my midriff, trying to see why I was contorting myself so, and the look on her face at one point told me when she got a view of the Tasty Empire, so to speak - very much a :eek: and then a quick, "Well, I gotta go now... :oops:"

On my birthday one year, my wife sent me a funny meme that listed all my virtues. Most of them were rather rude and can't be shared here, but two of the items listed said "...he cooks, he cleans..." :laugh:

You do realize how, at a quick glimpse without my readers on, "he cooks" could be totally misread.

Doesn't Thousand island dressing have mustard, mayonnaise, ketchup and pickle in it? I'm not fond of it on a salad but on a Big Mac it's ok.

No idea if there is pickle in Thousand Island, I always thought TI was a commercial rose mare sauce.

The cheeseburger sauce really tastes like Maccas cheeseburgers though and we have “burger sauce” that’s a pretty good approximation of Big Mac sauce.

Maybe in the US TI is different? Even in the US the ingredients can vary slightly depending on whether one is making it themselves or between various brands. It's not something I buy, that's for sure. I'd never put that on a salad.

From what I have seen on labels and recipes, the ingredients usually include mayonnaise, mustard, ketchup, and pickle relish in addition to other stuff.

From Reuben Sandwich with Thousand Island Dressing

A final note on the naming of Thousand Island Dressing is the visual of minced onion and sweet pickle relish resembling thousands of tiny islands in the ocean!

Thousand Island Dressing
1 cup mayonnaise
4 tablespoons ketchup
1 tablespoon yellow mustard
2 tablespoons drained sweet pickle relish
2 tablespoons minced shallot
Salt and pepper

Found it - here is the link to the few posts that run up to it. Yeah - I think Mrs T must have snapped it.
 
Not something I buy either. I remember it being a bit of a big thing for a short time when it first came on the scene here. Maybe late 1970’s or early 80’s? As a child I liked it but not later. I haven’t had it in many many years though I’m sure there would be a bottle in the fridge at my inlaws place as they tend to get food nostalgic for the 1980’s.
 
Last weekend was a long weekend here and there was much cooking that I apparently didn’t share here so I will rectify that.

My partners birthday & he requested chicken schnitzels- some of which rivaled that pork & cheese monster for size.

72487


Coleslaw, pickles, caponata, grated pecorino & schnitzels

72488

Caesar salad, lemon wedges, mayo & rolls/bread slices.

So everyone could have their schnitzels how they like them.

About half a dozen couples used to have a dinner club in Chester. We tended to focus on Indian restaurants but eventually decided we could do better. About every month or two the "dinner club" meal was hosted by one of us. The host cooked the rice and bread/chapatis/poppadoms and each of the others cooked a curry (pre-planned). Interesting that the "cooks" were invariably the males.

I used to know a pommy from Camden town,we used to have curry nights, there was even a trophy but the old saying, don’t lend friends money, he never paid me back.
I’ve had dinner club here one Xmas but with 10 to 12 people it cost me a bit. I’m the best cook among all our friends.
I do enjoy dinner club though, last night was in a completely new area to us, there’s an Italian place next to it,so my wife said we are going there next month. Her choice.

When I was in my 20s, I dated a few chefs. I never had to cook. I didn't even have to help, I'd just chill in the living room drinking wine and listening to music.

In my 30s I met my husband who had custody of his 4 children. His cooking skills were limited. I learned to cook.

I see nothing wrong with men in aprons turning out fantastic food. I miss it sometimes.

Now I know how my wife feels, chilling on the couch while being waited on,lol

You always post such fantastic 'feasting' photos. Lovely!
