I use this technique to make a tomato spread. Toss halved romas with oil, garlic, onion, salt, pepper, dried herbs and spread cut side down in a single layer on a sheet pan. Cook all day @ 200, flip once in awhile (the house smells wonderful). When they are nearly dried out, pull off the peels that come off easily, scr…

Found this is in a deli. Works on toast, also chicken, shrimp, fish, pasta. Great alternative to the DIY version

I think it will. Thank you for your post. Kindness comes in many forms.

What I really appreciate with posts like this is the community replies with all sorts of ideas and inspiration. I’ve been in a big funk lately about everything and have gotten away from making my own. It’s easier to buy, etc. You have all inspired me to get back to it, one recipe at a time.

In 1973, the cost of beef went through the roof, made even worse by the fact that we kept kosher, so beef cost 3 times as much as supermarket beef. In response to the crisis, my Mom made salmon patties on meatless dinner days. I never liked the super fishy taste of canned salmon, so I “invented” curry mayo to slather…

Detectorists Season 2 Episodes 2 & 3 cover this most brilliantly. it’s not a lost wallet, it’s even better. It’s available on Netflix. (Watch the entire series, it’s really very special.)

I don’t know what I spend on food vs non-food items each week. I shop at the Safeway around the corner most weeks, for everything. There isn’t a week that goes by where I have a big ticket non food item: paper goods, shampoo, OTC medication. Living in San Francisco costs a lot and I try to avoid the higher priced…

I’ve still got a mimeographed cookbook from my junior high home economics class: The Galloping Gourmets of Redwood School, Summer, 1971. It includes: stuffed celery, marinated mushrooms (Wishbone Italian!), beef jerky, root beer (makes 1 gallon), spaghetti with meat sauce, scrambled eggs, streusel filled coffee cake,…

• What’s your preferred corn cooking method? I don’t have a grill, so steamed or poached (boil water. drop in corn. cover & leave for 15 min)

I completely understand the “buy a lot when it’s on sale” mindset, I can’t agree with the “they taste better when frozen”. Toasted nuts & seeds are truly at the peak of flavor. All sorts of wonderful chemical voodoo happens when you toast them. I keep my stash in the freezer, take out some as needed, toss them in the…

Club sandwich: Lettuce, Tomato, Bacon, Poultry (I’ve had chicken & turkey clubs). If CLUB is an acronym, what about the T?

The “featured video from Lifehacker” when I loaded this page:

My mom died. My best friend. Nothing will be the same again. I may get past it, but will never get over it.

Carrot Ginger Soup. Hot or ice cold. Like orange velvet in a bowl.

I’ve used AppCleaner for ages and find it a necessary addition to every Mac I use, but there are things it misses. I’ve deleted GarageBand, iDVD, iMovie after upgrading to MacOS 10 and later found sound loops, template files and receipts in their respective Library sub folders. The bigger the app, the more stuff it…

I bought an accusharp classic at the hardware store to keep my garden cutters sharp. Now I keep it in my knife drawer. it’s really very good.

I even learned something-I tried Charlemagne to Han Solo. It connects Charlemagne to Hungarian language to Quechuan languages to Solo. Turns out some linguists have tried to connect Hungarian to Quechuan, which we of course know is balderdash. But everyone knows Greedo spoke a simplified version of Quechuan. And Han…

I have never seen anyone throwing something on the ground, nor am I doing it to shame people who see me pick up trash. I just feel that I am doing something constructive and hopefully setting an example for others. Something my mom told me once, be the person you want others to be. It’s hard sometimes, but I try when…

I started doing it at the university where I work. . I’m not doing it to shame anyone, I think the campus is a beautiful place, and I want to help to keep it that way.
