Butterscotch Latte

Hello!
Today I have a drink to show you. This is the Butterscotch Latte - All the richness of butterscotch with the smoothness of sweet coffee. A very nice and pleasant drink, easy to make and easier to consume 😁.
The caramel touch from the butterscotch sauce with the aroma of the coffee go really well together. For this drink I used a vegetable substitute for milk and barley instead of coffee (unfortunatelly, since I am off my stomach medication, I seem to be more sensitive to lactose and I would get severe heartburn if I drank coffee - I still can consume both things but I need to take in consideration quantities, how my body is feeling that day and other criteria). It is easy to make the coffee overpowering though so we need to pay attention to use about three parts butterscotch sauce to half part of coffee. I was just bummed that I didn't have more butterscotch sauce to use since the quantity of barley I used ended up being more than it should and it overshadowed the butterscotch flavour... but it was there, the aroma was there. Subtle but existent 😊 Oh, and I believe this must be even more delicious as a freddo drink 😉.
Enjoy!
The food will be rated from 1 to 5 stars, meaning:
⭐ - This could be part of gross foods! Ugh :(
⭐⭐ - Waste of ingredients but edible...
⭐⭐⭐ - Ok. Not my favourite thing but also not that bad
⭐⭐⭐⭐ - Now this has a lot of neopotential :D
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ - Wow! Was this created by fairies?! Yummy!
Now remember that this is, obviously, my opinion only ;)

Butterscotch Latte - ⭐⭐⭐⭐ - This drink received four stars out of five because the barley I used overpowered the butterscotch aroma. I also prefer my drinks cold instead of hot. But otherwise this is a very good drink!

Shenkuu Shrimp Fried Rice

Hello!
Today's neopian recipe on the menu is Shenkuu Shrimp Fried Rice - Shenkuu Mountain shrimp are extremely rare...not many survive mountain life.
This was news to me because I had never cooked fried rice before... well, at least not this way, which was the closest I got to the fried rice recipes out there right now.
Anyway, as you may know, I have no way to get Shenkuu shrimp (and I believe all of us don't 😂) so I just picked the most exotic/weird looking shrimp I found on the supermarket.
The end result was an amazing bowl of Shenkuu shrimp fried rice that was our dinner and left us craving for more!!!
Enjoy!

Shenkuu Shrimp Fried Rice -  ⭐⭐⭐⭐ 1/2 - this neopian dish ends up with four and a half stars because it was amazingly delicious and the more we had, the more we would eat. Those shrimps might not be from Shenkuu but they tasted amazing!

Apple and Brie Omelette

Hello!
Today I am bringing you a neopian food I've made in January, pretty much right after New Year celebration because I had a lot of remaining cheeses and fruit from it 😄 so I decided to make the Apple and Brie Omelette - Apple and Brie? Must be the latest fad in Tyrannia.
It was a very pleasant omelette to eat but I felt like the Brie and the apples were not flavorful enough to make it a very big deal. All in all it almost felt like both flavors cancelled each other 😅. Which is a real bummer 'cause usually cheese and apple go really really well together!
Enjoy!

⭐⭐⭐ - Ok. Not my favourite thing but also not that bad

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ - Wow! Was this created by fairies?! Yummy!
Now remember that this is, obviously, my opinion only ;)

Apple and Brie Omelette - ⭐⭐⭐ - This omelette received three stars because, despite not being unpleasant, the flavor ended up being a bit bland for my taste. I was expecting a bit more from the combo of cheese and apple but, in this case, and I suspect it was because of the cheese being Brie, the combo was not very "in your face" flavorful.

Cheesy Courgette Slice

Hello!
How about sharing a simpler neopian food like the Cheesy Courgette Slice - Three generous slices of baked courgette stuffed with lots of melted cheese.?
I must confess I am a cheese lover so this had to be done 😁 Now, I know that courgettes taste pretty much like nothing, and I should have been a bit more demanding on the cheese I used, but I had just bought a package of a mixture of shredded cheeses and I thought "why not?", well, now I know I should have used stronger cheeses for this, not that this wasn't good enough, but the watery courgette flavour almost won over the very little flavoured cheeses I used - a mix of mimolette and mozzarella - gladly I used some salt. Well, lesson learnt I guess 😜  
Enjoy!

Cheesy Courgette Slice - ⭐⭐⭐⭐ - I rated this neopian food with four stars because it tasted more of cheese than anything else. And I am a cheese lover. It was a good savory snack and the crunch from the courgette really gave this another dimension, since it wasn't cooked all the way through, so I had crunchy and creamy all together, which was really good!

Veggie Delight Omelette

Hello!
I was missing me some omelettes 😋 This is the Veggie Delight Omelette - Lashings of peppers, tomatoes and mushrooms make this omelette a vegetarian feast! And the description is totally accurate! I was not the one eating this omelette but I could tell just by making it and just by looking at it that this was, indeed, a vegetarian feast (don't forget that even though this has eggs it can be considered vegetarian, since there is a lacto-ovo vegetarian diet (includes dairy and eggs)).
Now, this omelette was the first Neopian omelette I've made using my tamagoyaki frying pan. After a change of comments on Neopets Nation Facebook Group with Kimber Gonzalez and Becca Garcia, I came to the conclusion that I really had to get a tamagoyaki pan to try this. I had already wanted this pan for quite some time now and I finally got it. And the omelette came out just really rectangular 😁
Enjoy!

Veggie Delight Omelette - ⭐⭐⭐⭐ - This omelette was rated with four stars. It was a yummy fluffly omelette with all the nutrition and flavour of the used veggies (mushrooms, bell pepper and tomato). And those veggies are a great combo!
