Some foods/sauces etc are a pain to make with limited added benefit. For me that is pesto. I buy myself a Rao’s pesto for around $6-7 and save myself the hassle of buying cleaning and stemming basil and buying pine nuts I’ll never use again before they go bad.

What about you?

So I had family visiting from Korea and made them a wide variety of American baked breakfast treats. One of my faves to make is lemon poppy seed loaf. My family stayed away from it because apparently poppy seeds are illegal in Korea and the government has scared the population to think that even a small consumption of poppy seeds will trigger a drug test to be positive and you can be fined or jailed up to 5 years. Does any other countries have these kinds of restrictions on ingredients like this?

Ok, in my family my grandma made a dish calling it chicken divine and I loved it so much I learned the recipe. It's made with shredded chicken, mayo and cream of chicken mixture, asparagus ( I use broccoli), lemon juice all mixed together with a layer of bread crumbs and cheddar cheese served on a bed of egg noodles. Chicken was used instead of turkey because she always has chicken left over more often. When I asked where it came from, mom told me her sister saw the recipe in a magazine. Not much could be remembered, this was like 30 years ago when she saw it. So I'm just curious if anyone heard or made something like it.
