Let me see what else have I had lately that's actually been pretty good....

Stone/Victory/Dogfish Head Saison du Buff.

It's an herbal infused Saisson ale aged in red wine barrels. Surprisingly smooth for a Stone beer! Usually I don't like stone because they seem to enjoy brewing beers that punch you in the mouth over and over again.

This one is also really good. For something so high in alcohol content, it was really REALLY smooth, like dangerously so.

Yeah definitely an underwhelming release for sure. I'm a fan of their hazelnut ale myself.

It came out sweet for you? Damn. Mine tasted like 12 types of burnt wood with a slight maple flavor finish. :( Not what I was expecting honestly....but I guess that's because of all the roasted hops and malts they used.

Did not know that about the guava paste. Thanks for the tip. I think I saw some of that at my local mexican supermarket.

Good points all around.

Breakfast. The usual suspects. Fruit, granola, cereal even spread it on toast with some sweet jam.

If you have a blender you can blend fresh fruit and yogurt to sort of make a poor mans smoothie.

Lunch and Dinner

Yogurt actually goes really well with grilled meats. You'll see it often used in things like shwarma and the like. Try spreading it over toast and putting some sliced meats and cheeses in a sandwich, or if you've got some cucumbers and tomatoes, you can chop them up and throw them in a cup with yogurt and a dash of salt and pepper for a nice cool refreshing salad.

And as the previous anon mentioned, adding yogurt to say, tomato soup will thicken it nicely and give it a good tang. Making cheap onion dip with spice packets or just making your own dip with yogurt as the base instead of ranch dressing goes a decent way for chips.

You has options sah. :)

As others have mentioned if you're still puking, try to take some over the counter anti-diarheal medication. Pepto bismol, Immodium-AD something like that. Keep attempting to drink gentle liquids like Pedialyte if there's a pharmacy nearby, things like gatorade, water or herbal tea. If you keep puking even after all of this and it doesn't let up for several hours, you should consider heading to the ER so they can get some IV fluids into you. The most important thing right now is to replace lost fluids and nutrients that your body is venting out.

Try also eating toast or white rice to try and get some calories in if you can.

Oooo

This guy has the idea. Bacon and split pea soup. Boil the dried peas with carrots and bacon in a chicken broth for an hour or two depending on the size then puree a few cups of the soup and add back into it. Salt and pepper to taste.

BLT mang. Classic that can't go wrong.

Yer got your bread, sourdough is my personal fave
Nice fresh leaf lettuce
Tomatoes, beefsteak if you can swing em.
Mayo/Miracle whip depending on what you like

Optional deliciousness: avocado.

Combine. Nom. Happiness.

To get an idea how bad the smell is.

This is a video of guys opening the can outside in frozen snow.

With handy Subtitles!

Dunno about beef, but me and a friend did make a batch of Bacon Infused vodka with our home cured and smoked bacon.

The Result?

A VERY intense smokey bacony taste. It pretty much was undrinkable straight, even chilled. However we did discover it made some of the best damn bloody marys we ever had. Ultimately that's all it turned out to be good for. :-/

Pic related it's what their fruit tarts and cakes look like.

ah mah gerd. Those cheese guava pastries I'm firmly convinced are laced with crack. :( There's a reason the glendale one has boxes of a dozen of them ready to go. And 2nd'ing the potato balls as well. God tier stuff.

And if you guys ever need a cake from them, their fruit tarts are to die for. I don't know where they get their fruit from, but good lord, that is the crispiest freshest tasting fruit I've ever had in a cake period.

Yeah it's pretty straightforward to make just get the equipment I mentioned, fill the pot with water, line the wicker basket with cheesecloth and put a few scoops of rinsed rise in. Any Thai market that carries these pots should also have the rice there too. It'll usually be labeled "Sweet" or "Sticky Sweet" or even just "Sticky" . Rest assured its not actually sugary sweet or something like it, but it's very aromatic, like top shelf jasmine rice.

Oo! Also, if you're using the steaming pot for the first time rinse out the wicker basket and make sure it's soaked well. You'll want to do this to make sure the bamboo basket fibers don't leech into the rice on the first cook.

Then just fill the metal pot with water, just enough to get a good steam like 2-3" worth, put the basket in, line it with cheese cloth and then the rice. Fold the cheesecloth over the rice and if possible, cover it with a pot lid to improve the steaming. It'll take probably about 20-40 minutes of steaming to get it nice and clumpy. Then you pretty much tear off chunks of rice and dip them in sweet chili sauce! NOM!

It's flogging awesome. You'll usually see it in Thai Restaurants.

It differs from pretty much all other rice in that it's actually steamed in a wicker basket and not boiled like most rice is The attached pic shows the pot in which it's cooked in. Boiling water goes in the metal one, and then rinsed sweet rice is put into the basket and usually covered with Cheesecloth. You can find the pots for cheap at most Thai markets if there's one nearby.

Anyhow, It's usually served as a side to grilled meats served on a stick with sweet chili sauce, or as part of an awesome dessert when mangoes are in season. They slice up a mango and mix Sticky Rice with condensed milk and they're served together. It's delicious.
