I'm still a relative n00b, so my list is necessarily short: dry beans and stock are the only things I've done more than once so far.

Hmmm. I'll have to give it another try, I suppose. I've done a few things in my IP that would ordinarily be braises, and didn't feel they were quite as luscious as when cooked conventionally. Also, of course, there's the pleasure of smelling them for hours, but I'd be willing to forego that occasionally when needs must.

I've seen those as well, and they're both improvements on the basic lazy susan design. Truthfully, the only time I'm likely to do this is if I'm building a house to suit my needs. I'd avoid a corner cabinet entirely, if that's an option, but if I have to have one I'm open to one of the higher-end solutions. What feels "stupid expensive" as a retrofit is a relative drop in the bucket when you're first building, especially if you plan to use that kitchen for decades. Which, if I have the opportunity to own again, I certainly would. After a lifetime average of <18 months per address, this stone is pretty tired of rolling.

No, you have to drag it out. "Scallop rolls? Agaaaaiiiin?" Ideally with an eyeroll and a despairing flail of the hands. (j/k...those look amazing)

My setup is similar, though my lazy susan isn't self-centering. I use it for pots and pans, because that's what *needed* to go in that space for various reasons. It's much more useful than an L-shaped pair of shelves would be...I've had that option, and loathed it. OTOH I'm not a big fan of this arrangement either. The handles of my pots and pans often jam, and there's a lot of wasted space behind the lazy susan. Also, if anything falls down behind the lazy susan, it'll stick and you'll have an entertaining time trying to excavate the culprit (on arthritic and damaged knees, in my case). Watching reno shows, I've seen a couple of arrangements I like better. This page shows a couple of the ones I like, the "glideouts" shown at the top in the animated GIF and the pull-out trays shown further down. I've also seen a variation that combines those basic themes. https://www.shelfgenie.com/blind-corner-cabinet-solutions

Nifty notion. I'd seen a couple of his seed-saving articles on the Mother Earth News website, but didn't put the pieces together until I'd Googled him.

That's gotta be a whole year's worth of validation, all in one paragraph.

I raised my kids right...both of 'em could quote/imitate Durante, or Groucho, and any number of my heroes from back in the day. Properly speaking I *am* a bit too young for that generation of entertainer, having been born in '63, but I know what I like.

So many times I heard Jimmy Durante speak of her, and now I know where she's been all this time.

After the discussion here, I'm working a mention of it into an article I'm writing. Just because.

Well...major centers in Canada, anyway. I don't expect to see one where I live anytime soon. Greater Toronto is said to be the most cosmopolitan urban area in all of North America, surpassing even NYC, so it's not surprising to find such amenities there.

I take them all with a grain of salt, because pretty much everyone I know in the business has been shaken down for freebies or discounts with the threat of a negative review. Yelp has actually been taken to court (and won, which is a travesty!) because they straightforwardly and unapologetically surface positive reviews for restaurants who pay them, and negative reviews for restaurants who don't.

Ontario and Quebec, Oreinos Mylopotamos brand of dry mizythra, recalled for potential listeriosis risk. http://www.inspection.gc.ca/about-the-cfia/newsroom/food-recall-warnings/complete-listing/2019-04-02/eng/1554256405689/1554256408446

That doesn't sound right...I'm pretty sure I remember reading that parrots are blue when cooked.

Ugh. Yeah, I missed that salient detail. Let's go with this list instead, and the original one goes bye-bye.

A few other food-related April Fool's efforts: Edited to remove original list. See down-thread for a better one from Eater.

As a Californian, you have special dispensation - nay, a moral obligation! - to incorporate avocado wherever possible, whether appropriate by outsiders' standards or not.

I have a bunch, and try to remember to wear one when I'm cooking, but seldom do. The upshot is that most of the clothes I own have either grease spots from the cooking part, or bleach spatters from cleanup (I routinely add bleach do my dish hand-washing water). I have a special knack for managing to get stuff on a new and slightly costlier-than-usual piece of clothing the first time it's worn.

You would probably know it as Kamut, which is a trademarked name. Khorasan is the generic word for the same grain.

I remember loaded fries being a "thing" long before I ever saw my first poutine. Might just have been an accident of timing and geography, mind you.

A correction/expansion of the tea recall from upthread: http://inspection.gc.ca/about-the-cfia/newsroom/food-recall-warnings/complete-listing/2019-03-28/eng/1553810114913/1553810115430

It seemed strange to me, too, but perhaps it shouldn't. Tea is basically leaves harvested by humans, just like lettuce and spinach (etc) and we've certainly seen plenty of recalls on those.

Salmonella in some Lee brand teas. National recall. http://www.inspection.gc.ca/about-the-cfia/newsroom/food-recall-warnings/complete-listing/2019-03-27/eng/1553732465930/1553732466196

I believe it's a jacked-up coffee beverage. Not that I'm partial to caramel-flavored coffee either, but it's a bit more broadly acceptable perhaps.
