@IvyTheTerrible I have seen a similar thing done with dates when I was deployed to Jordan. They also had an almond in the middle. I don’t think it was cheesecake filling but it was still delicious.

We took it from Randall’s Adventure and Training (a.k.a. RAT). if you’ve seen Ontario RTAK, RAT 3, RAT 5 knives, they were designed by Randall’s Adventure and Training. They now have their own lines of knives called ESEE knives.
They train military and law enforcement (we had a few rangers and military with us) as well as civilians in various disciplines (rope techniques, self defense, firearms training, search and rescue, field medicine, land navigation, survival, bushcraft etc.)
I would recommend them any day, they have very experienced staff, super helpful, and they make sure you get to test your skills in appropriate conditions. We had a 2.5 hour military PT session, followed by several days of food shortage and sleep deprivation throughout the course to replicate conditions of a survival situation. Other courses are more educational, you learn the techniques and practice, but you don’t have to go to crazy length sleeping with bugs on the floor.

Thanks for the tag @IvyTheTerrible !
nothing fancy here, my man and I are kinda lazy when we cook. we’ve been doing a lot of stir-fries recently, Asian style. my man has quite a sweet tooth so we use a lot of hoisin sauce, sweet chili sauce…

Does anyone want to try my signature spring borscht with chicken and sour cream?

I love dill in my borsch, but I make it red with beats. BTW, I teach Americans that there is no ‘t’ in borsch, and then you come along and spell it with a ‘t’ haha.

BОRSCHE I also like beetroot! But that’s another story! And in General, better borscht with t than without sour cream

Hold the sour cream, but that looks awesome!

Hahaa, gotcha. Borsche (that’s how I’m gonna spell it from now on) without sour cream is like a toast without wine. Speaking of toasts, I’m also trying to make my friends stop saying “na zdorovye” when they make a toast. I just give them that look, like “you just said ‘you’re welcome’ in Russian.”

To paraphrase a great Russian movie quote, “Borsche without sour cream is like a wedding night without the bride”.

I got my kids those tricerataco holders a few years ago for Christmas. They were 19 and 25 at the time. They loved them.

I’m finding new (old to you…) threads I want to be apart of all the time 
Like a lot of people locked in their houses food became an anchor of normality. Get up and make smoothie, eat lunch, make tea (dinner) but after a while you get bored.
So I decided to make pies with movie scenes on them.
First up is my tribute to Jurassic Park. My Harry Potter pie was disaster (tasted nice) but I’m mulling a new one this weekend…

Sometimes, before going to bed after a hard day’s work, I allow myself to drink a small cocktail. The recipe for this cocktail: homemade grape wine made by my father, mineral water, fresh mint that grows in a pot on my windowsill, and instead of ice cubes-frozen sea buckthorn and frozen tangerine. A toast to you, friends!

Cheers!
