Sorry, the cheesies (cheetos?) in the cocktail made me cringe. lol <br /><br />Deb -<br /><br />When we lived on the edge of Los Angeles (the time I refer to as The Exile), we only had one vehicle so I was home during the day with baby Eddie A LOT. (Too much.) And, I got totally hooked on a daytime cooking show with a nutty British man named Ainsley Harriott who, besides being a TV chef, was, most importantly, in the cast of Red Dwarf. ;) And, to this day, I still do something I learned from watching that show. It's the best, best, best kitchen tip I've ever picked up: Curl your fingertips in while chopping. You'd think this would be a no brainer, but almost no one I know does it. Hang on, lemme find a pic or diagram:<br /><br />http://i-cdn.apartmenttherapy.com/uimages/kitchen/2008_03_04-onionswithouttears.jpg<br /><br />http://www.cookincanuck.com/2011/01/how-to-hold-cut-with-chefs-knife-knife/ <br /><br />BTW, because of VeggieTales, any mention of bok choy (yummy though it is) makes me giggle because I always think of this: (start at 8:29) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WQ3W5uT8F6w Remember, Bok Choy prefers hugtime over a light spritzing of olive oil.

Your little group certainly did yourselves proud. And, might I add, you guys sure had one well-stocked beach house! Wow!\<br /><br />The pictures are beautiful, just enough to convince me cheetos (cheezies?) are better off in the bag they come in. :)<br /><br />I'd take up the challenge. I just can't promise I'd be able to produce something tasty. It'd all wind up tasting like it did at the beginning. I've got to take a spice course someday. I'm SURE there are more spices than just cinnamon and garlic salt, and that a tablespoon probably isn't the correct amount to use of any spice. :)Dawnhttp://boom-child.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1528510907038944744.post-2583844263209670122012-09-03T13:26:42.710-04:002012-09-03T13:26:42.710-04:00WOW ...comming from a very picky eater, I must sa...WOW ...comming from a very picky eater, I must say that it all looks so yummy and refreshing!<br />I love this idea it sounds so fun and creative.
