i’ll see your parmesan-MSG-nutritional yeast popcorn seasoning and raise you popcorn coated in marmite-soy sauce compound butter, then dusted with nutritional yeast and parmesan from a shaker.

put frozen peas in the colander. dump the hot pasta/water into the colander to drain. shake. perfect peas with pasta ready for sauce or pasta salad.

that’s how i do it. both with tomato paste and with sweet red bean paste because i only use it on ice cream and never use a whole can at once

maybe claire will do it and share the results on skillet. *raises eyebrow in her general direction*

this sounds delicious and like something i need to try soon!

delightfully, youtube abounds with “how to make your own clotted cream” tutorials that involve heavy cream, shallow pans, ovens, and a lot of time usually. one of these days i might even actually try to make it

oh yeah, rest the batter. when i make crepes i rest the batter at least an hour, overnight if i’m smart enough to plan ahead. 

yup, my family had one of these when i was growing up. in fact, the same one still lives in my parents’ kitchen, where it has been for over 40 years. 

the more i think about this comment, the more i think you could make a savory cream cheese spread for this using the base of a crab rangoon (cream cheese and worcestershire sauce with an allium) that would be divine on crispy hash browns. 

DIY sweet potato hash browns and use them for the sweet stuff. maybe cinnamon roll flavored sweet potato hash browns

hash brown sandwich? maybe hash brown calzone.
i have cooked hash browns in my 1990's era triangular sandwich iron before, and even stuffed them with cheese. i think maybe now i will try them with ham and cheese. 

lately i’ve been eating my extra crispy (convection oven) hash brown patties with a sauce that’s not entirely unlike a mornay sauce. it might be some other kind of sauce that i just haven’t seen as an actual recipe yet. start with a bechamel, use a sharp cheddar cheese, skip the nutmeg, make a paste of a dry white…

the coffee filter drainage method is minimal cleanup if you ever want to try it.

have you tried making your own? it’s pretty easy if you have some greek yogurt, a funnel or strainer, and a coffee filter. then you can control the consistency.

i volunteer with a cat rescue and one of the options we offer for people who aren’t sure about adopting a cat at all, or a specific cat, is “foster-to-adopt”. it’s a trial run program. you still have to pass the application process for adopting but you don’t pay for any of the adoption fees or medical expenses until…

depends on where you live in the US. i could only effectively air dry clothes for a couple of months in the winter. the rest of the time i am running a dehumidifier in the house to get the humidity down below 80% (yes, sometimes my ceiling rains in the summer even running a dehumidifier) and that’s with the a/c…

so. many. towels.

yup, i tend to use a dollar bill also. i try to remember to carry a cheap tailor’s retractable tape when i go to thrift stores but when i forget, a dollar bill can give me a rough estimate quite easily

when i am in a hurry i make red-eye gravy with goya ham flavoring. while i like ham BTB, it’s too sweet for traditional red-eye gravy.
