Ok, Iâll give you that, but youâre a damn good one. Is that better 
Thatâs better.In all honestly I feel like when people call me a âchefâ of any kind that it is almost like stolen valor. As a vet I take that personally. I have two family members who are classically trained chefs who graduated from Le Cordon Bleu College of Culinary Arts in Portland Oregon. Both have worked as chefs and one is on his way to being a head chef at his current place of employment. A chef is far more than a good cook. I am just a cook. Iâll accept that I am a good cook, but I am cook. . .a hobbyist. . .not a professional in the culinary field.
But I do appreciate the compliment. I sincerely do. Cooking for people and having them truly enjoy it is a great pleasure of mine.
I can respect that. But you are a damn good cook.

Herself, the Sue Chef, highly recommend this show. Itâs probably only on VHS⊠1993.
My dad used to refer to tapioca as fish eyes and glue.
What about Celebrity Chef? Would that be acceptable; less about the food more about the banter?
Dan, just wondering if youve tried the tapioca yet? 
(sticking to the thread and somehow, not)
Tapioca, probably on my top five list of favorite desserts and one I have never personally made, either from scratch or even dry packaged. Always buy it pre made. But I love it. Its hard to make the call between homemade vanilla ice cream (even though it personally hates me), Creme Brule, cherry cheese cake, tapicoa, and Dutch apple pie.
We can call me whatever we want as long as its not late for dinner. As long as its in fun and we understand I dont claim to be a trained professional in the trade. I just love cooking. I am fat and I tell people you can only get that way if your wife can cook or you can cook. My wife canât cook.
This recipe, I think, substituted milk for the TB1.
We might have to try this one anyway⊠Thermomix Machine for other Manly Activities
While I am a Elmers connoisseur (as a kid , got over that) I am pretty much the cook in the family, and while I am not as devoted to things like BD and âThe Bullyâ I enjoy the playing with spices in my simple food .
Side not, there are a lot of Indian and Sikh truckers and some of the small truckstops have been purchased by them and has buffet style takeout food. It took a bit for me to ask one of the drivers there to guide me to something to start with and that added to my waistline and food I want to try more.
This is an easy to make Indian recipe that is fantastic. We will have this and naan for dinner when I make it.

I will save it for later I donât even want to read recipes right now , today is drink 64oz of liquid to clean the system for a Dr visit / look ins see thing tomorrow, so liquid diet today
I have made that or at least something very similar to it.
So we really fired up this thread the past few days and it has me a bit hungry. It has inspired me to make a themed meal this weekend. Should be a fun meal. So with out further ado . . . I present. . .
The Large Scale Cafe (LSC) menu
You presented a really Blah menu!!!
As in nothing, just what I can, perfect for me for today! Well now it finally shows up, making my post confusing and now I canât delete it
Pete
I kinda picked you as a go with the flow sort of guy but this post shows leadership! I think we all can see by choosing the 64oz cocktail, youâre trying to start a movement!
Hope your doc is experienced. Itâs hard to tell these days, they all work they way up from the bottom!
âŠtry the Veal
Iâll let myself outâŠ
Speaking of large drinks.
When a bunch of us went to help close down Ken Bruntâs railroad, @Cliff_Jennings and I met for dinner at Plaza Azteca Mexican Restaurant. As usual at a Mexican place, I order myself a Modelo Negra. Guy asks âshort or tall?â and I get a tall, because thatâs usually around 20 oz instead of 10-12. NOPE! 34 oz.
Not my picture, but:

Wow. 4 beers in one glass?!
4 beers in one glass? 34oz? no wonder Australians are grumpy. If your beers only come in 8 ozs Iâd be cranky also. A bottle or can of beer is 12 oz. A real glass of draft beer should be a pint (16oz anything less is a criminal offense punishable by death). Or is Australian math different?
Nah, we just donât like our beer warm! In Queensland it makes sense getting to an un-airconditioned pub and ordering a 7 Oz beer, then annother, then another. However, Australia has decided what a standard drink is and most beer bottles say this bottle contains 1.2 standard beers.
You also have to realise, until relatively recently (I think the 1990âs) any Australian brewed beer could only be sold in the state it was brewed. Northern Territorians drink 15 litres of pure alcohol each year - three times the global average. But Devon, there is a bit of truth to the grumpiness, and when you travel to pubs out of state this can occur, because we call different sizes by the same name. Read this if you want to know why we are grumpy. This is a short article by Aussies, for Aussies A deep dive into Aussie beer sizes
Ironically, when discussing American Brews (before your microbrew revolution), the were affectionally known to be like making love in a canoe ( f#@&-ing close to water)

Fair enough statement about what passes for an American beer. I donât like what most people drink for beer around here. Boycott Bud Light you say . . .Um Okay I have been boycotting it since age 12 when I had my first beer. I whole heartedly agree that the microbrew revolution was one of the best things to happen to the U.S.A. Probably more significant than the First Revolution. I much prefer the dark beers like porters and stouts or a good darker ale like a nut brown.
As for beer sizes isnât that interesting how culturally different something like a glass of beer can be. Would not have dawned on me. But the only Australian beer that I know I have drank is Fosters and it comes in a giant can lol. But it does make sense that in a hot arid climate multiple smaller beers would make sense. And that insures your beer wonât get warm while to take a break to wrestle a stuffed Croc.
