Very different from New York cheesecake. Noticeably lighter and less dense.
“Take this, all of you, and eat it. This is my ice cream.”Patty O’s Cafe in Washington, Virginia, serves ice cream in a chalice. Quite the presentation—and quite good ice cream, of course.
Is that pimento cheese ice cream?
It was butter pecan.
Chicken piccata pasta recipe.We've made this several times and it's always good as an alternative to regular chicken piccata. Last night my wife wanted to make this, but she wasn't paying attention to the recipe and didn't get the chicken thighs out of the freezer in time to thaw them, so instead we used a one-pound package of already-cooked Perdue Short Cuts chicken strips. It was still good; maybe not as much flavor as there would be with thighs, and because breast meat has less fat to render we wound up having to add some more oil to the pan. But I was extremely hungry last night, so we still ate all of it (we made more or less the full recipe except that I didn't measure the amount of pasta, just eyeballed it).
Based on the visual evidence, the picture shows a traditional Middle Eastern or South Asian spiced rice dish, most likely Kabsa (also known as Machboos in the Gulf region) or Riz bi-Djaj (Lebanese Chicken and Rice).Key Components of the DishProtein: Pieces of roasted or simmered chicken are arranged around the center. In the middle, there is a layer of spiced ground or chopped meat.Rice Base: A large bed of long-grain yellow rice (likely Basmati), colored by spices such as saffron or turmeric.Garnish: The dish is generously topped with toasted almonds and golden raisins (sultanas), which add crunch and sweetness.Accompaniments: In the background, there are small plastic containers that likely hold Daqoos (a spicy tomato salsa) or yogurt, which are traditional sides for this type of meal.Likely OriginsKabsa / Machboos: The national dish of Saudi Arabia, often featuring this exact combination of spiced rice, meat, nuts, and raisins.Riz bi-Djaj: A Lebanese "special occasion" dish often served with shredded chicken over spiced rice and ground meat.Mansaf (Variation): While the national dish of Jordan, Mansaf, traditionally uses lamb and a yogurt-based sauce (jameed), chicken versions exist but are less common.
Hey Var, looks like Richmond is getting a Culver's. Henrico County, across from White Oak Village near the airport.
I like Culver’s. Right across the street here in Orlando. I go back and forth between them and Shake Shack and Five Guys as to my favorite burger.
There's a new Shake Shack in Fairfax, might have to try it for the first time.
Shake Shack opened near us last year. Burgers are good but i'm not a fan of their fries, and we have better options in Five Guys and Foster's IMHO. The one near Capital One arena is great for a pre-game meal though.I think we chatted about this, but none of them hold a candle to Spelunker's in Front Royal. Culver's reminds me of Spelunkers. I'll go out of my way to visit one whenever i'm in Florida.
