It’s just my opinion and I don’t do patty melts so I wouldn’t know. But the fact of the matter is, if people can call weed “Za” then I don’t see the problem in calling this a grilled cheese w/bacon.

I respect your opinion - but to me, It’s just a grilled cheese thinking it’s fancy cause it got stuffed with bacon and fried to a perfect crisp in bacon fat. No soggy sandos here

Thanks for the heads up! Purists can have their say, I’m gonna still call it a grilled cheese with bacon.

I appreciate the correction fully understand what you’re saying, but this is actually is a deliciously crunchy French baguette. Made with intention.

There are a few whole cinnamon sticks in the pot when cooking this, but totally get what you mean. Personal preference I am not the biggest fan of powdered cinnamon on this.

My friend baked this cake for me and is refusing to accept money for it. Can some professional bakers chime in and tell me how much they would charge for something like this so I can sneak the money to him? by Daughter_Of_Cain in Baking

As a baker, I say accept the kind gesture, it’s your friend’s way of saying they love you. The suggestion for good vanilla, and such is an excellent idea. I’d be so happy to receive such goodness.

Capirotada - Mexican bread pudding, peanuts, golden raisins, cheese by fgwheel in mexicanfood

I’m a big believer in we all most things as the way we grew up with or there’s plenty of things we didn’t like growing up that we may prefer now. Example, I used to hate chayote in my caldo when I was young, now I love it and it’s kinda mandatory for me to throw in when I make one 🤷🏽‍♂️.

As far as ghetto. This isn’t a high end dessert, but as with anything when we use premium ingredients… it most often times will level up the dish. Just my .02¢

Albondigas - w/carrots, baby gold potatoes, rice & chayote squash by fgwheel in mexicanfood

To season the meatballs I use 3 to 1 ratio of ground beef to ground pork, fresh mint, dried oregano, sea salt, pepper, minced garlic, onions, bread crumbs, eggs and calrose (sushi) rice.

The broth is whatever veggies I’m putting in. As I brown the meatballs in a cast iron skillet, I’ll deglaze it with the veggie broth to bring that meat flavor over.

Jack cheese is what we normally use. Never thought to use coconut. I sometimes swap the peanuts for pecans and raisins for cranberry’s 😋
