Came here to say the exact same thing! And you’re welcome to stay for hours upon hours in the library. And in a lot of libraries you can bring in your coffee. Heck, we have teens ordering pizzas during exam week and we have to page them from the front desk.

World Market, if you have one locally.

I’m an edger - send me your address. Teamwork makes the dream work

I could have sworn there was a Good Eats episode where Alton debunked the mushrooms absorbing water thing. Whatever I’m thinking of, using a scale they found the amount to be so minute as to be insignificant.

I’m in Florida, so late summer = December 21.

Pancakes freeze pretty well. So, you can also make a big batch and then just pop then in the toaster later on.

Mirepoix =/= Holy Trinity

The freezing is to prevent you eating it all.

It’s the coil part of this that confuses me. I’ve frozen bacon flat before, but never in coils.
