OH no, I tried that float I had in mind with the chocolate milk and club soda, EEECH, so wrong, lol. But didn't waste much product on it and just did chocolate milk, scoop of vanilla, topped with whip cream. Just wanted to play it safe after... OH, so bad, seriously.

I'm so ashamed, LOL...
Lol I really cannot imagine but as I said, this thread is about life on the edge :cool:

Speaking of chocolate milk... I have developed an iced coffee habit and found that half chocolate milk is great because I am actually not supposed to have caffeine anymore. This way I can still have something with a little kick but it won't cause palpitations. Sugar OTOH :rolleyes:
 
I’m trying to remember how we made sodas at the DQ- , milk, soda water, sundae topping, mix with milkshake mixer, add ice cream, top with whipped cream and a cherry. Gosh has it been 50 years?!

Malts were milkshakes with liquid malt added.

Well, you’d never know you didn’t like it if you didn’t try it, right?

You reminded me of an ancient tv commercial—
Waiter said: Try it, you’ll like it!
But, what is it?
Try it,you’ll like it!
So I tried it.
Thought I was gonna die.
lol! Anyone else old enough to remember the tv commercial?

When I was a kid I remember making 7Up floats or Coke floats at home. Just the 7Up or Coke with a scoop of ice cream. I loved those!

When we were kids we tried to make floats with Jamaican ginger beer. They were terrible lol!

Do you all have A&W or is that a Canadian thing only? Because A&W root beer floats are superior IMHO. I also think cherry coke would be good with ice cream FWIW :)

Now and then I like a vanilla malt- so i use vanilla ice cream, powdered malt, vanilla and milk and put it in a blender----- ya know what? it doesn't taste anything like the malts I used to get at the soda fountain or even in a diner--

I never cared for iced coffee and don't drink coffee at all any more. When I wanted a "specialty" coffee at home, I used to stir a tablespoon or so of Nutella or canned chocolate frosting into a steaming cup of coffee. If I had Cool Whip on hand, I'd top the coffee with a dollop. My "designer" coffee was as good as Starbucks - without the designer price :)

There are A&Ws in the states, but there isn't one near me. Haven't been to one in many, many years but it was a special treat when I was growing up. We always went to A&W after my ballet recitals. There were still carhops back then, so we sat in the car sipping root beer in heavy chilled mugs. Some grocery stores carry A&W root beer in glass bottles.

There was a sale on International Delight iced coffee last week. I'm not buying an iced coffee every day, they're $5 at my local place :confused:

Lindt chocolate or a Rolo in the bottom of the mug is the way to go. My mom took me to the A&W carhop when I was little! I can still remember the speaker and everything was bright orange lol. I think the "chilled mug" is their signature thing?

My family occasionally went to the A&W for root beer as a treat when I was a kid. I remember the heavy chilled mugs.
 
I love salmon patties and I have a few different recipes depending on the ingredients I have on hand.

This is my favorite but I don’t always have fresh dill in my herb garden, so sometimes I leave it out.

Hi,

so I made this for dinner today and followed your recipe fairy closely, only changes I made were 1 onion instead of 2 and used panko breadcrumbs both in the patties and also to coat them. Oh and I added about 1TBSP of the juice from the salmon.

They were really nice, it made 6 largeish patties - we managed two each (with oven baked potato wedges and baked beans) and had a couple spare. We weren't sure what we fancied with them so had an assortment of sauces on the table to try. Tartare sauce and sweet chilli sauce both worked well.

Thanks for sharing :)

sounds delish
 
This reminds me of a muffaletta. Has anyone ever made muffaletta?

INGREDIENTS​

  • 1 large round bread loaf, 8- to 9-inches in diameter
  • 1 cup Creole olive salad
  • 4 ounces salami, thinly sliced
  • 4 ounces cappicola, thinly sliced
  • 4 ounces mortadella, or deli ham, thinly sliced
  • 4 ounces fresh mozzarella cheese, thinly sliced
  • 4 ounces provolone, thinly sliced
  • 3 tablespoons olive oil
  • Salt and pepper
  • Pickled pepperoncini, for garnish
You get it all melty melty in the oven by wrapping it up in foil. It's nice! I'm not a big olive fan, so I do really, really very little olives on there.
I’ve never made one but love the ones from Jason's deli. The muffuletta buns they use are so good. They’re gigantic, but they sell them in halves and quarters, so I get the quarter size. It’s the size of a regular sandwich.
 
Anyone else have a Splice in their country, or is it an Australian thing?

It's a frozen treat on a stick. Pineapple lime water ice on the outside with vanilla ice-cream centre. So, I know those two flavours go really well. So if you have a pinelime soda, then it will go well with icecream.

For some reason this brought to memory a punch we always had at baby and wedding showers when I was very young, in my teens and 20’s. It was made with two ingredients…. pineapple or lime sherbert and either sprite or ginger ale soda. I loved that stuff! Now I’m thinking of getting some sherbert and mixing with diet sprite, lol. I don’t eat much sugar anymore, but at least the sherbet is low in fat.
 
I’m trying to remember how we made sodas at the DQ- , milk, soda water, sundae topping, mix with milkshake mixer, add ice cream, top with whipped cream and a cherry. Gosh has it been 50 years?!

Malts were milkshakes with liquid malt added.

When I was in high school I loved the chocolate malts from DQ. And their burgers too. I could get away with it way back then as I only weighed abou 90 pounds, lol.
How did I eat so much ?!

We used to have a Polar Bear Ashburns ice cream shop in the town I moved to in the 80’s, they had the best chocolate sodas. Not heavy at all, just delicious and refreshing. A shame they’re no longer around. It was like an old fashioned soda shop, and we sat at the counter and watched them make them. The chocolate syrup they used was fudgy tasting and not too sweet. He mixed in the chocolate syrup before adding the ice cream and whipped cream.
  • Old Timey Chocolate Soda Recipe: Fill four 16-ounce glasses with 1 tablespoon of chocolate syrup at the bottom, 2 scoops of ice cream, and another tablespoon of chocolate syrup. Top with club soda, whipped cream, and a cherry.

My dad used to make us "Boston Coolers" as a summer treat: Detroit's Vernor's Ginger Ale with a scoop of vanilla ice cream.

 
Opening ceremonies for the Paris Olympics today at 1:30PM EDT. Looking forward to the pageantry and days of competition. I enjoy winter Olympics more than summer, but I will watch men's and women's gymnastics, swimming, diving, and equestrian events. I got the ingredients for Coq Au Vin yesterday and will make the French "chicken stew" tomorrow. There's lots of prep - cooking bacon, browning the chicken pieces, carrots and onion - but once that's done, you just let the stew simmer for about an hour. Cremini mushrooms and frozen pearl onions go in near the end of the cooking process. Serve with toasted French baguette. Very French and very good.

DH made Parm chicken yesterday with Michigan corn on the cob. Takeout tonight - we haven't had fish & chips for a while. I love the Greek lemon rice soup that comes with it.
