Guilty Pleasures – Even Great Chefs Have 'Em – What's Yours?
Alex replied to a topic in Food Traditions & Culture
Nothing guilt-inducing about that to me! -
Thanks. One day I'm scheduled to be not too far on the other side of La Rambla at 10:30, so if I can get myself moving I'll check it out.

I won't be going to the big market (Boqueria) -- too crowded, too many tourists -- but I might go to Santa Caterina, just to look around. A couple of blocks from my lodging there's a small mercat where I'll be buying my yogurt, jamón, etc. I'll keep an eye out for the pepper.

This is my favorite photo of yours. I didn't know how much I missed yakisoba until I saw your photo. It was my go-to bar food when I lived in Japan (Hamamatsu and vicinity). I know I can get it here, too, but w/o the setting it's not the same.

Here's my food and beverage agenda so far: Bar Mut Betlem La Sosenga Salterio Gelaaati Di Marco Maleducat Sips (review) (the #1 bar in the world for 2023) instead, Xerta (Michelin 1 star) Saga Coffee Stories Parallelo Gelato Bar Andorra Nomad Coffee Lab La Balmesina (a maybe; it's the aforementioned #10 pizza in Europe, minus Italy) Sartoria Panatieri (the aforementioned #1 pizza) Chocolata Amatiler (gift for Ms Alex) Las Vermudas (vermouth tasting and crafting) plus whatever I pick up at the nearby mercat (yogurt, jamón Ibérico, etc.) There also are a couple of bakeries I didn't mention. Think that's enough for a week?

Thanks. It's still there!

Welcome, @Rurban24. I'm looking forward to your questions and the related discussions. Two years and a few months ago, in the "Cookbooks – How Many Do You Own? (Part 5)" topic, I wrote, "We probably should have a topic for folks who are contemplating -- or actually -- winnowing their cookbook collection, and could use some encouragement and empathy. Or maybe there's one already but I've forgotten about it." And now it's time. Good things come to those who wait. In the mid-70s I was planning to move to St. Johnsbury, but I had a work commitment in New York for another few months and the agency couldn't postpone my offer.

Yes. Subtract X from both sides, then add 180 to both sides. Flip the sides, if you like (I do), and you get 1.32*x = 180. Divide both sides by 1.32 and you get x = 136.363636...
