Anyone have/read this? I have the opportunity to buy it from a friend and am wondering what people thought>?

I was looking into getting a butter crock as I use butter but not frequently enough and wanted to extend it's shelf life. Then it occured to me why not use a food saver resealable vacuum bag, the ones with the circular vacuum pocket you can reseal. I've seen a bunch of 'best butter dishes' but this seems to be a better way to do it. Any reason why this wouldn't be the best way, it would suck out all the air

What do you all recommend to read or watch to advance in cooking. I can cook, that is I can follow a recipe, have knife skills and equipment. What I can't do is improvise, I don't really understand the 'why' of some recipes and it's frustrating. The books I've tried to read are either too detailed and daunting, I'm looking for something that goes over the basics but also explains the 'why'

Stir-Fried Beef with Green Asparagus - top-sirloin steak is stir-fried with green asparagus, scallions, garlic, ginger, fresno chili, soy and teriyaki sauce, toasted sesame oil, lime juice and corn starch. Finished with toasted sesame seeds and cilantro. Served over rice.

Pasta, egg tagliatelle with a sauce of bacon, mushrooms, garlic, chilli, and baby spinach. A sprinkle of finely chopped parsley and lashings of pecorino. I know that ‘he who must be fed’ will never say no to pasta.

Did you order a classic too? If so, hopefully it arrives tomorrow.

Likely when we get a sufficient number signed up that we start to think about limiting - looks like that was around mid April last year.

A couple months ago, I bought a cookbook because I know the author. There is apost about it here at "Cookbooks and References". It is the next to last entry on the topic Show Us Your Latest Cookbook Acquisitions. I'd post a direct link to it if I knew how to do it. I've read the book from cover, now I am starting to try some of the recipes. the two I did today are Travelers Meat Pie and Jalapeño Bison Jerky... only I used a round roast.The Jerky shown here is about half the recipe. The rest is already gone. The author is half sister to my son's former wife and her heritage is Mexican and Potawatomi.

My triple chocolate arrived today. Clearly the custom officials preferred the classic.

Mrs. C made carrot and ginger soup with lots of warm spices for dinner. I added crumbled feta to mine. Cayenne and Aleppo peppers made it a little spicy (which I didn't mind) so she will probably cut it with coconut milk for the family gathering this weekend.

I dunno what’s wrong with me. I keep a list of grocery items I need on my phone. Here’s what it said this AM: Farmers Market: Garlic Parsley Cilantro Gorgonzola Brussels sprouts Celery Kumquats Kale Squash Cabbage Potatoes Eggs Sourdough bread Grocery: Olive oil Fava beans Asparagus Artichoke hearts Here’s what I got at the farmers market: Lemons Meyer lemons Oranges Pears Baby kale Frisée Cauliflower Snap peas Manzano peppers Avocados Eggs Sourdough bread Lord knows what will happen at the grocery store! In my defense, a few vendors were missing from today’s farmers market, including the ones I wanted to get the kumquats and Gorgonzola from. Everything else, except garlic, was there but my shopping bag was so full of stuff that wasn’t on the list that I deferred them to tomorrow when I can stop into a local farmstand. Sheesh!

My understanding is that diet change typically can change blood cholesterol by maybe 10 % so not usually enough. As my brother said, "We chose the wrong parents" They do have a drug which will inhibit the uptake of dietary cholesterol. Didn't get me to my target but I told my doc that I was happy to spend the money on it if it meant I can eat cheese with less guilt

That looks gorgeous, @RWood !

Pineapple Upside Down Cake for my aunt Joyce’s birthday. She is shocked I used a fresh pineapple 😁. I guess she never thought of it 🤷‍♀️

@Maison Rustique thats a great buy! Those flights are usually around $20. And mine at least has different options in the flight depending on time of year.

new Sushi place very near me Tama Sushi lunch special , 3 rolls : $ 20. : That's a Hoponius Union ' on ice ' @Duvel might look away. delicious . I dont get spicy rolls w tuna // yellow tail , as the spice clouds the fish flavor. the eel was outstanding. Ill be geting 3 eel avocado next time. the H.U was delicious , and now , a short nap.

after the trim . maybe he made tallow ?

My GF, who when younger had lost weight easily on the Atkins diet, more recently tried it again. She lost no weight, but her cholesterol hit alarming levels and she's now on a statin for the duration. OTOH, going back to 2017, I lost 30 pounds or so on an eating pattern that was pretty heavy on carbs, albeit mostly in the form of whole grains (because I'm not one for keeping track of details, I centered my eating around fiber, because fiber content overall is a pretty good proxy for "healthfulness": if you're getting the recommended amount of fiber from whole foods, rather than a supplement, you probably can't go far wrong). Have kept it off since, though over the past six months or so I've regained 5 of 'em because I started slacking a bit. It didn't help that the drought meant I lost a couple of hundred pounds' worth of veggies that I'd normally have had in my diet. (ETA: GF is now losing weight steadily again, despite her arthritis-enforced limits on physical activity, with a balanced eating plan. She's shrinking out of some clothes and back into others, and is delighted with her progress.)

I 95% follow this guidance. (And I also take a low-dose statin!).

Thanks. Love the stuff. We have a Dutch grocery store here that sells some Indonesian products. We are never without kecap manis.

Yes, that's what I was calling "sweet soy sauce" from time to time.

Thank you for taking us along for the ride. Looking forward to the next one. Do they use kecap manis there?
