*snort* Until no one can see you with your face in the dish.

Yes, this is why I recommend people buy flood insurance every spring, because there’s no risk to my clients. It’s not at all that there very much is a risk, and that every single year when they get flooded and screech at me that they have a foot and a half of water in their basement I want them to be able to get the…

No pizza ever needs ranch dressing.

Also, it really highlights how unlike the presumed rest of the Midwest Chicago is, when this sentence about NY can easily be describing the former: “there is nothing foreign about immigrants, there is nothing unusual about your friends’ parents who can’t speak English, there is nothing ‘exotic’ about shawarma or…

Wait, what? Culinaria has a book on us? I love their books, how did I not know this? (I stopped buying paper books is probably how. Do they put them on kindle yet?)

It sounds like a good thing to have on mobile. You can just check it out for a bit a few times daily and otherwise let it just run. I wonder if a port is planned.

I have too. It’s the time to buy, people, if you’re going to do anything; not to panic sell.

It’s just me, so I don’t need a whole lot. But hm...I think I’ll go to Kohl’s or somewhere and take a look at it live. Thanks!

Well...Hm. I’ve starred this, but don’t actually fully agree. Sometimes you need a milder beefy taste. I have a spring mushroom and butterhead lettuce braise (yes, I know, and yes anyone making that face, you can cook lettuce) that works well with a milder beef. I’ve bought fillet mignons for that before (also served…

Same here, but we always did it with filet mignon, so that everyone had their own and it could be done to scale. We did the filets, the duxelles was bound with an herbed neufchatel and brandy mixture, and instead of prosciutto used shaved beef navel. It wasn’t difficult, but maybe that’s because we’ve had it (it was…

Hm. I might actually have to try that now. I’m looking to buy an air fryer too (oven frying in my cheap apartment gas range is not going to happen.)

Does anyone have the Ninja Foodi Grill with airfryer function? That’s what I’ve been looking at, since my contact grill has recently died and I already have a multicooker. I’m still on the fence, though.

I personally kind of like turnips. But yeah, I can’t imagine they actually would french fry well.

Turnips, rutabagas, other starchy tubers according to where you were (so basically whatever you had that imported potatoes replaced.)

And all the toilet paper you can fit in your car!

Australian damper or dhamper (I’ve seen it spelled both ways) is a soda bread without the fruit. Given the number of deported Irish prisoners and poorhouse evacuees that were shipped to Australia whether they wanted to go or not, it shouldn’t be a surprise that it’s either soda bread or from the same root.

The whole corned beef and cabbage thing...I don’t even know how it got associated with the Irish. The oldest recipe I’ve been able to find for it calls it “New England Boiled Dinner.” I think that particular meal has always been an American version of poor man’s pot-au-feu.

Yeah, someone does this pretty much every year.

I’m a bit of a food and drink history nerd. Not that there’s ever really much payoff in that! LOL!

And ceramic baking dishes!
