With tariffs on coffee and tea, WaPo thinks yaupon might catch on.

Misen nonstick frying pans are 40% off; the rest of the site is 20% off. I use the 12" and like it a lot, especially the even heat distribution. https://misen.com/products/nonstick-pan

Tonight: Mushroom-chickpea burgers, coleslaw Tomorrow night (or maybe Sunday): Gumbo w/shrimp + Toulouse sausage from my favorite butcher Both nights, maybe: Buttermilk ice cream w/strawberry-rhubarb compote

Indeed -- from The Waste Land, part III, The Fire Sermon Oh, and a couple of weeks ago, Kumiko won the James Beard Award for Outstanding Bar.

I store mine in a wine fridge -- 55°F and low humidity is ideal. Plus it's an opportunity to get acquainted with their future dinner companions.

Yes, definitely peel them. If you don't, you'll wind up looking like this:

Zingerman's summer sale is on!

My page shows only $100 off an $800 unit, or 12.5%, which isn't so deep (dish) in my book. Does yours show more? P.S. The link in your post doesn't work -- there needs to be a 6 at the end of the URL.

I just discovered this show. The original series plus the newer "Tokyo Stories" are still on Netflix. Ms. Alex and I watched the first three episodes of Season 1 tonight. It's indeed gentle, charming, and touching.

Moi aussi.

Thank you so much! Unfortunately, I developed a gluten sensitivity, so no more pastina for me. Ms. Alex, who grew up in Detroit, had never heard of pastina until I mentioned it to her five minutes ago. (She did eat pasta stars.)

That was my favorite pasta dish when I was a young'un in NYC! And now I can't even find it in the supermarkets here.

Yes, very much so.

Ouch. That's just the pits. I assume this involved a knife, not sprinkling lime and salt on your hand, then taking a bite.
