Scottish crab. Container box just said chilli - I doubt that it was anything more than chilli powder. I keep wanting to be pleasantly surprised by fresh ravioli but never am. Maybe this is where having a better sense of taste comes in! At least the sauce I made was good.
What did you cook/eat today (May 2017)?

I heard that fresh turmeric stains everything easily. I have seen it in the shops but, knowing this, has put me off buying it. Plus wise, it is said to be a powerful antioxidant!
It certainly does! But it is wonderful - such a subtle beautiful taste. My friend's hand blender is a lovely shade of yellow (I cook at his place a lot). Keep it in the freezer and grate it into dishes from frozen - then return to the freezer.

Nothing wrong with turmeric. The amount I use, everything in my house would be yellow if it was that bad. It makes a good tooth whitener too
So are you saying this info is false, i.e. that fresh turmeric doesn't stain chopping boards, fingers etc?Nothing wrong with turmeric. The amount I use, everything in my house would be yellow if it was that bad. It makes a good tooth whitener too
You're preaching to the choir. (About trying new spices). My wife isn't as easily inspired.
I have turmeric in the cupboard for an interesting reason. A year or so ago I was doubled over in pain one morning. It felt like broken glass stuck under my sternum, at the top of my stomach. Since I was unable to get a doctor appointment for 2 days and I had to work many hours, I looked up a possible holistic cure to that symptom. It was suggested that I might have gallstones, and a tsp of turmeric in the morning and again at night for 2 days might help break them up. It worked like a charm.

I didn't say it was false, I just said it was not that bad. My fingers never get stained by it, and chopping boards, counter tops etc just need a wipe over with a damp sponge if any gets spilt on them.
You just need to be careful to wipe up straight away - but I have bamboo worktops and I still have a stain that won't go away! With white plastic mixer attachments it will stain them but - does it matter? Dried turmeric mixtures will also stain utensils. Its just that the fresh is more intense.
Did you enjoy the food? What did you have?
I had sirloin, chicken, beef ribs, mushrooms, baked potato, a bit of shrimp. Oh and a 3 cheese bacon salad with Ceasar dressing.
I also got two hugs, one from a manager and one from the grill chef and a kiss on the cheek from our waiter when we left.
Sounds like that may well have been worth the extra $10? Are you a regular there?
Now that they have decent management again yes.
Our area has severe employee problems.
And yes it was worth the money.
By employee problems, I mean everyone is hiring especially in retail and food.
When the oilfield is going strong, all the wives go home.
To tell you how bad it is: do not call a company to complain about bad customer service. You will be offered a job. I once got offered a management job sight unseen because I complained about how a section of books was handled. I got offered the book manager job because she had left the company due to the way she wasn't doing her job. The guy I talked to said all the book sections were messed up.
