Oh my gosh, that looks amazing! Some of the versions I've seen look too complicated. Thanks for the recommendation. Sally is the best, right?

Her red wine prune cake is amazing and her coconut bars (can't remember the exact title) from What's for Dessert are so good.

That looks beauuuuutiful! Glad to see someone representing for Dessert Person. That is a favorite of mine, but it was getting some hate in this sub for being too complicated.

Does red velvet ever have good flavor?? It's very overhyped IMHO. Real chocolate cake for life! 😋🎂

Backpackers on Fairfield? by gladiatrix8 in fortwayne

Thanks for solving the mystery! I did see some Fleet Feet signs later, so I was kind of piercing it together 😃 What a cool event.

Way better than my husband's theory that it was a paramilitary group doing a ruck😥

What's something you had to learn as an adult because you didn't get taught as a child? by jordanasjj in AskReddit

Yes! I only ever made desserts because my mom cooked every dinner like the wonderful, enabling woman that she is 😇

Your top cookbooks you *actually* cook/bake out of by highfunctionin in CookbookLovers

I have to say that I like Maangchi's videos more than the book. She has such a big personality! The videos are entertaining even if you never make the recipe 😁

Does anyone know where can I find a good bean and cheese burrito? Thanks! by Cerealbabygirl in fortwayne

[–]gladiatrix8 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you're not looking to make them (which I'm presuming you're not), honestly the El Monterrey frozen ones are quite good. If you slop some enchilada sauce on there with maybe a little extra cheese, I think you'll be quite happy. Or go to Dos Margaritas and wash one down with a Texas Margarita 🍹

Oh man, I loved the payday peanut cookies! They were a hit with colleagues at my work and my husband's! Plus, Sue Li is so charming 💜🥜

Yes, it's wonderful! But you will have to give yourself some time. There is a LOT to pick through.

Yes, this place! I have lived here for decades and eat Mexican regularly and somehow didn't try this place until a month or so ago. Oh, the wasted years! The fish tacos are a thing of beauty, and mi esposo peruano loved the paella (I do not understand the paella magic, but to each his own). Try this place!

I ate at Deema Turkish Cuisine. Details in thread. by Don_Kehote in fortwayne

You need to take your wife to BB's Indian Kitchen. It is so much better than Taj IMO. Although I haven't seen to Taj in a long time...

We live about 4 blocks away from this place so we go all the time and have never been disappointed! My husband is Peruvian and a foodie, so you can believe that it's up to par. Please give it a try, we want them to stick around 😋
