Al Mealim, preferred choice, rather sweet and sticky with layered sweet pastry, much like Baklava.
Must give in to temptation, certainly less nutritious than the Dates.

If you were here you would be more than welcome to help yourself..

It's quite the rare sweet treat in my neck of the woods as well..
Distant memories of my youth and my association with Dates is all...

Peanut butter sounds good..
I snack on pitted Deglet Noor dates fairly often these days but shouldn't eat more than 2 at a time at most, due to carbohydrate content. Them, and the organic Turkish sun-dried brown apricots which are better for me health wise and have slightly fewer carbs in them.

And yes, putting one or the other into my mouth with 5-6 pecan nut halves (a 'super-nut' or 'super-food' of sorts) tastes awesome, like a small bite of a really good pecan pie or something. And I DO like pecan pie, though the only ones we've made in the last years have been keto pecan pies, and yes, they're OK. Not like the original real deal, but OK.

oh god, pecan pie...i knew i forgot something at the grocery store. :eek: pecans! have you tried the pre-made pie crusts that are made from pecans ? it's almost gilding the lily...:yummy:
My wife makes a diabetic-friendly pie crust from ground walnuts, pecans, and a touch of whole wheat pastry flour with LOTS of butter in it to hold it together. She uses this with diabetic-friendly cheesecake, pies, etc.

Homemade deluxe beef and organic bean burritos on larger, burrito size keto flour tortillas, with all the trimmings; sliced avocado, chopped romaine lettuce, sweet onion and slices of plump, red, greenhouse grown tomato, with Tapatio Sauce on top, then rolled up, though not too tightly or fully closed, due to the amount of contents. Burritos you only eat ONE of.... even if you have the munchies.

Washed down with a New Belgium Brewing 'Fat Tire' beer.

Two-handed deluxe beef and organic refried bean burrito on larger keto flour tortilla, with grated sharp cheddar cheese, chopped romaine lettuce, chopped sweet onion, slices of ripe avocado, and slices of vine-ripened tomatoes. Topped with a bit of La Victoria hot sauce and Tapatio sauce.

Chased down with a glass of this year's homemade raspberry-rhubarb wine.

Stir-fry, mild Szechuan style, with organic Golden Acre cabbage from our garden, sliced organic Scarlet Nantes (from the garden), thickly wedge-sliced sweet onions, chunks of organic white button-top mushrooms, and broccoli flowers, with a touch of molasses, a minor drizzle of organic Canadian maple syrup, a bit of the erythritol-monk fruit sweetener, soy sauce, garlic, 5-spice,yellow mustard powder, a touch of cayenne pepper of moderate heat, touch of white pepper, coconut oil in the wok, chicken base, sliced calamari steaks, combination of wild-caught Patagonia shrimp and farmed shrimp, and 14 sea scallops. thickened with a bit of corn starch in the chicken base that was left over.

My wife was a bit tired of the Thai red curry preparation with similar ingredients.

And just under a half glass of the homemade raspberry-rhubarb wine. Still very tasty.

Sounds AMAZING

Pics ?!

One of the best things we make is a red Thai curry steak frites that we ripped off the idea from at a local popular restaurant ! Absolutely delicious but we don't make it so often because the recipe really takes a nosedive if we don't get the real authentic fresh herbs from the Asian supermarket

No pics of tonight's kitchen adventure. But there are pics of similar stir-fries with red Thai curry and a thick organic coconut milk.

Which reminds me now. There were also organic frozen peas and organic frozen corn in tonight's stir-fry, too.

Here: The past Thai stir-fry.

Holy , some restaurant quality cooking there my friend. Super pro looking!

Do you guys use the prepared red Thai curry pastes in your base?

We've been making the rounds trying most of them that we can find, currently on this one

We had this once at a beloved Indonesian Thai high end restaurant in our region and then shamelessly tried to rip it off

Can only get "Snake Beans" at the Asian supermarket and the Thai Basil is a must as well

We tried substituting green beans in place of string beans and regular basil instead of the Thai and couldn't believe what a difference it made (for the worse) so we now know a trip to the Asian market is a must

I should try growing them in my grow tent

Try the green curry with chicken, galangal lemongrass shrimp. Its a bit more spicy i think
