@jedovaty Interesting is the "" La Española "" that makes and sells top end ' Spanish chorizo ' but made locally in CA ? I used to get some of those Chorizo's and they were very very good . same as in Spain.

What exactly is your time frame from a) finished meals at home and ready to go to b)be placed in the community fridge to c) pick up by eating public? No, there is no rush on this question. Just trying to get it all straight.

Interesting play on the traditional Sicilian pesto known as Pesto Alla Trapanese, which is made with fresh tomatoes, almonds, garlic, cheese, olive oil, basil, and mint. Traditionally, the pasta used is busiate, a special pasta from, yes, Trapani. Good stuff, though I prefer my Brussels sprouts on the side. Why ruin a perfectly fine pasta dish?! 😉

Maybe egg salad sandwiches? I like my yolks runny but egg salad on whole wheat (with some romaine or spinach or sprouts is a pretty healthy lunch or dinner. Those and some carrot, pepper strips on the side?

That's the choice? Of course, so many choices would not work as the bread would get so soggy. Hmmm... I've never really given it much thought before. I googled the topic to see what I could find and the vast majority of them are too 'wet'to last the time frame required or too costly for your budget. The only one I could see using is a pulled meat. But then you've obviously done your homework.

I'm interested, too!

Just a note on another interesting item Misfits had: Garleeks . I love green onions, I bought these out of curiosity. I should have bought 1 bundle, but I didn't know the size and got 2. It's a large bundle of garleeks. Been using them as I would green onions, they are a bit sweeter and not as "hot" on the tongue. The greens I used in Emerald sauce, a local creation by Chino Bandito restaurant. A very simple recipe. 3 cups minced green onion 1 cup minced fresh ginger root 2 teaspoons salt About 2 cups vegetable oil

That soup sounds fantastic! My guess is the tomato water. The gel around the seeds has a lot of proteins and pectin, so when it heats up it can create that scum layer. It won’t hurt the flavor, but it’s annoying to skim in a thick soup. If you want to use the juice again, straining it more finely or heating it separately first might help.

I love soft yolk eggs -- though I really love eggs, so I would try a hard fried egg sandwich.

There's a little spanish market/deli in Harbor City "La Española" that carries some amazing products and in particular tinned seafood and fresh anchovies. They have all sorts of canned products, paella pans, and and things we don't often see around here. I particularly enjoy these piquillo peppers filled with cheese and either tuna or spider crab. I go 1-2x a year to stock up, warm them in the toaster oven for a few minutes. Truly delicious. Spidercrab version was on sale this time, expiration is next year!

When I left my first husband suddenly many decades ago, I had little money. I lived on hard fried egg and cheese sandwiches for about a year. Not sure most people would be interested. I must have OD'd on them because I don't think I've had one since 1979.

Just looks fabulous, as usual, @liamsaunt. If you go back to Solaris, would you please taste the Grilled Pear starter? It has serrano ham & nut crusted fried brie cheese, fresh herbs and hot honey. It might be divine. Might even work for dessert. 🤣

Our new place has a really old electric stove which is slow to adjust temperature, I end up having one hot plate on simmer, one on high heat and one medium. It’s painful. Recently we bought an induction single burner and I love it. These type of noodle bowls are in regular rotation. I can boil two eggs and while they cool, cook noodles in the same pan. Separately on the induction burner I make the vegetables and broth. This one had Napa cabbage, mushrooms, baby bok choy, tomato and leftover cooked chicken. Chilli crisp and spring onions on top.

I use a small jam jar - dip out with the measuring spoon . . .

Very sad news. The world and cuisine was a better place because of her.

@weinoo excellent. Im sure you will pick out the tasty ones. Its a long trip for me to save $ 1.99 // pack .

I have (eG-friendly Amazon.com link) and one similar to (eG-friendly Amazon.com link). I like them both and they are both for foaming soap. I've had a few other dispensers that I did not like as much or that died early.

Not to bust your bubble or anything, but my corner fruit/vegetable stand guy has been selling various tomato packs (including the newer "varietals" I'm seeing at Trader Joe's for $4.99, as well as Camparis) for $1 a pack. The varietals are proliferating like crazy...https://www.sunsetgrown.com/our-produce/tomatoes/

Always interested! The planning and prep is a big part of the travel, right? 🙂

Thank you. Yes, I plan to be heading out sometime after Christmas, maybe in January. I'm still working out where to go and when, and how much food to pack. 😀 As usual there's more in the house, garage, and trailer than one person (or even the former two) needs. Which cookbooks? Which cookware? Which dishes? There were things I was sorry not to have along last time, because I packed in such a hurry. Now I have (relative) leisure to sort it all out. The Princessmobile has spent most of the summer at the shop, for one reason or another, and still needs work before I can launch. Once I start packing and arranging, I'll update this topic to show something of the packing and decision-making, if anyone's interested.

I do know they are actively hunting them and the meat is featured on many menus. I like the taste of it, very mild and sweet. I am surprised there does not seem to be more of an effort to catch and serve them in other places we visit. I have only been able to order it once on St. John, though I see lionfish frequently while snorkeling there. I am aware that dealing with the spines can be problematic. On St. John, you need a special certification to hunt them. I am not sure what the rules are here in Bermuda.

Campari tomatoes are on sale this week @ Stop&Shop $ 2.99. went by this AM after a stop @ TJ's @ Tj's the ' crush ' has already started , but not so @ S&S . Im posting as these were quite large for Campari's , and , they are very fragrant . bought 4 packs . will be in the Linguini in a few days. Sale ends Wed. so good luck

😂 Hard fried egg sandwiches are off the table! PB&J back on the list.

@liamsaunt wonderful looking food and vistas . thank you for the menu's

I feel this way also. A reheated fried egg sounds somehow unappetizing to me. But then eggs are one of the things that have to be cooked just right for my taste and I usually like to cook them myself. But then that's me. I do have a long history with eggs.
