Sous vide a pork roast in the hot dog water. Finish on the grill or with a searsall torch. Poor man’s smokey bacon roast.

As bad as a bland diet of rice and other foods (for electrolyte and mineral balance), I would just be happy to be rescued. Fried chicken in a few days beats starving to death in the dark. I think I would request a window view in the hospital.

Still has a way to go before going weirder than the DMC implosion. New car companies are hard to start and sustain. Dreamers and scammers have been part and parcel when automobiles were new. If they make it, great, but don't invest all your life savings in an automotive start up, there are many failed companies that…

Needs a redesigned bottom plate to shed heat.

Hmm. I get the “they just glanced at the badge” issue. However, you are talking about a smaller population of people in the trusted persons line. You may have missed the “Hi Bob,” and “Hi Fred”. The badge just shows they are still employed there, the security personnel may see and know them well, or at least by sight.

If you only have a bag of waxy potatoes and one lonely half of a russet, I guess you could cook and mash the russet, and mix with the dressing to get the texture you want. Honestly, I never thought about using two types of potatoes. I now have to see how it turns out. Maybe I will have something for the next holiday.

The recipe does sound good! But....

I needed that laugh! You are technically correct, the best kind of correct. Meh, if you like it, have at it.

Rounding a half gram per serving of lactose down to zero on the package label does not help the severely lactose challenged. Happily, there are lactase pills that can help break down lactose in low lactose foods (does not work for me on dishes with regular milk, heavy cream). Tolerance to lactose can vary greatly for…

Take a chill pill. Well, lactase pill. Probably good enough for most cheeses. For lactose free sour cream, cream cheese, yogurt and butter, look for Green Valley at your local grocers. Whole Foods carries most of the lactose free line near me, but I can find the butter at three or four other stores. And lactose free…

What happened to keeping the potato salad cold in a bucket of ice? With technology these days, you can get a small inflatable cold bar for the table you can fill with ice to keep food cold.

Never tried the Ener-G bread. I tend to get Trader Joe’s gluten free whole grain bread, and Canyon Bakehouse when I want something fancy. Never did a full loaf recipe at home I liked. Still, I do have one I can use for knishes, and other small stuffed breads (using a variation on Brazilian cheese bread, but it is low…

Start with what you love. I was diagnosed with multiple food allergies of gluten, soy, tamarind and intolerance to lactose (milk). I said, well that’s it, no more cheesecake ever. It took a bit to source ingredients, but I figured out how to do it at home. The cheesecake is pretty close to a regular one, but it’s…

Maybe Tesla's cash crunch is solved. Now, just a couple years production to catch up, and they are golden. It is now a wonderful problem to have, instead of a yoke around the neck.

Nice back of the envelope, but it ignores wealth. If you don’t sell your stocks, you can earn billions that don’t accrue as income. And cash is king, if you have the money, you can buy it, even if it’s 80% of your money. Maybe not Suzy Orman smart, but still hundreds of thousands of people that can purchase one at $70…

Waiting for them to advocate eating peach pits next. That should go well.

Don’t make marshmallows, but there is more than store bought options. Still get the gourmet ones occasionally for the wife putting up with me.

• What condiment is totally worth making yourself? Thousand Island dressing. Everything at the grocery is soy based, and I can’t eat that due to my allergies.

I prefer a light snack when on a flight. Fitting it in the carryon can be difficult.

*Shrugs* Its chicken. Enjoy, save the schmaltz for later, move on with life. Mmm, schmaltz.
