Apart from the idiocy of encouraging people to travel around during the pandemic surge, the source of this “contest” is an online gambling portal.

I was thinking this morning that it would be amazing to have a piece of that history. Like buying a piece of the Berlin Wall. They could take pieces of the dish and sell them. The money could be used to help secure the remaining parts of the site.

My menu for one included Cornish game hen, gravy from the drippings, Stove Top stuffing with lots of additions (dried cranberries, mushrooms, walnuts, celery, onion) green beans & carrots, cranberry jam and a slice of pumpkin pie from the grocery store.

Apple slices with peanut sauce (1 T. natural peanut butter, 1 T. hoisin, 2 T. water in a Pyrex custard cup. Heat in microwave on high for 15 seconds. Stir until combined.) Apple cut in thin slices (takes longer to eat).

I spent the last 4 days transcribing cookbooks for the Kansas State University Library. Recipes date back to 1882. One part history lesson, one part good deed doing, no calories consumed. I’m having a wonderful time.

While I am in the “butter on a breakfast sandwich” camp, I have used mayo on the outside of the bread. It goes like this: Spread mayo on bread, cover with a generous amount of grated parm. Press down to secure parm in the mayo. Fry the cheese side down in a skillet until brown. Remove to plate. Spread un-cheese side l…

Would it not have been useful to publish this weeks ago? Granted, you can’t come to a decision yourself, but this article is a much clearer description and contains more information than what came in official voter booklet. It sure would have been useful for California readers, we received our ballots in October.

His greatest feat: Playing every character, regardless of origin, with a Scottish accent.

Sausage and cheese waffle with sauteed apple slices, crisp bacon and coffee.

I don’t know why I haven’t noticed this before, but in addition to Allison’s cooking skills, she is no slouch in the food glamour shot department. That photo is beautiful.

One day, on a whim, I added some tiny crumbled bits of Parmesan cheese to my usual mayo/dijon/lemon combo. Wow. Those little Parm bombs are some powerful deviled egg juju.

Ah right, I didn’t put that together. Sometimes my brain needs time to catch up with my fingers. A VPN is the key. Thanks.

Jews don’t eat pie-piffle. Tell that to my Aunt Rosie, and she would make you her applesauce pie. A triumph of frugal minimalism: A graham cracker crust that uses margarine; 2 1/2 cans of applesauce, cinnamon, sugar, lemon juice and flour to thicken.

“...if you’re using a secondary Facebook account, you’re going to want to be absurdly diligent about keeping your life as separate as possible across the two.”

This isn’t a utensil or vessel, but damn if I don’t use it nearly every day and it was less than $20.

My beloved Holmes HAOF87 Lil’ Blizzard Oscillating Table Fan.
I use it:
When I’m chopping onions to blow the fumes away.
To cool off soups before pureeing, nuts after roasting, anything before refrigerating or freezing.

Why are those people in the top photo sitting on the floor when they have a couch?

This recipe reminds me of a cheddar cheese crust, streusel-topped apple pie I made once. It was the best pie I ever made. I never attempted it again.

It took me ages to find it on Comcast, which does not provide an “HD” feed. It’s in the 20s, where you find QVC and basic cable Spanish channels.

Where else in the wide wide internet are you going to find an article about picking the best butternut squash that uses a paint swatch? Just so perfectly Takeout.

I had two dorm mates at UC Santa Barbara in 1981. Their drink of choice was generic rum and Tab. Let’s pour one out for Marla and Nancy.
