Next time you're gonna use fish sauce use oyster sauce.

I'm not sure I've ever heard of fish sauce. From the descriptions of it though it makes sense because I have a very refined pallet that doesn't waste my time with bad tasting food.

do you like Thai food?

My family makes fun of me for fish sauce. 

Something I love is when they tell me that the _____ is really good tonight, and I get to ask them if they know why.

Yeah but I don’t eat it a lot.

Scrambled Eggs; Use cream cheese instead of milk. Milk waters down the taste, cream cheese boosts the taste!

I do this amazing cooking hack but with greek yogurt. Everyone always says "wow Stevesie, these are the best scrambled eggs I've ever had!" so I know they're good.

Homemade things that are NOT worth the effort (just buy it from the store):

Cinnamon Rolls
Salsa
Potato Salad (see my previous hack about adding hard boiled eggs to Sams Club PS)
Egg Nog

Homemade things that ARE worth the effort:

Fruit Pies
Guacamole
Soups
Cookies

Most salsa on the store shelves is absolute garbage. A lot of homemade salsa is, too, but it's really hard to find good salsa that isn't homemade.

I knew that one would ruffle some feathers.

We always get the MEMBERS MARK FRESH SALSA©. I've made salsa a couple times and it tasted almost exactly like the MEMBERS MARK FRESH SALSA© only slightly worse. Thus, it's appearance on the list.

If you really like spicy things and want your own blend I could see how homemade salsa would be important.

Picked up my cake. It was sealed, or course in a brown container. Got home to see they spelled my son's name wrong. Verified the online order was correct. Apparently JACOB is a hard name to spell.
No,I do not recommend this product.

Used to enjoy this salsa but not now. After having it delivered went to open the jar ... It exploded all over the kitchen. What was left had little fresh taste and very acidic

This salsa is very bland and tastes of bitter tomatoes. I can see the onion in it, but I can't taste it. The cilantro one is better.

I think the recipe has changed since this was last sold, and it tastes better. Not as good as the cilantro version but it’s one of my favorites.

I like this variety from Kroger as store bought salsas go:

https://www.kroger.com/p/cocina-fresca-cantina-style-medium-serrano-salsa/0089097500135

I also fully agree on homemade cinnamon rolls being a waste of time, although they are pretty fun to make if you’ve got plenty of time.

I also wonder if _33 has ever made eggnog. I’ve done a couple different recipes and none take more than 15 minutes in the kitchen. (Although my favorite is aged eggnog that’s been sitting in the fridge since Halloween).

Mama Lupe’s hot salsa is very good and I’m pretty sure it’s from Kansas somewhere

I've made egg nog, it was fine. Not worth it though when you can just pick up a 1/2 gallon and add to it whatever you want.

Spoken like someone who has never experienced the pleasures of aged nog (TM).
