Katie~ Do you do that with basil, too?

Now, back to kosher chickens.............. bought my first kosher chicken today because I am so very tired of tasteless chicken. I usually brine, or presalt but would like an alternative for the times I don't have the opportunity for either. So, here is the question, after reading this thread (some of which had to do with chicken ) it sounds like people frequently brine their kosher chickens. My understanding is that you don't 'cause they are already salted. Wassup?

Here you go: VOCATION VACATIONS A little pricey but could keep you from making a mistake..... OMG, we have spellcheck ...... when did that happen?

So very good, and so much more promised.

Holy Moly............. FG~ I cannot wait. I don't know if I've had any decent Chinese since I moved from the East Coast 27 years ago. Things obviously have changed since I was last there ! (Chinese sushi? ) Free sesame noodles? NO FORTUNES !?! I've had very good Japanese here, good Thai. But Chinese If you can tell me how to get the best they have to offer (still might not be good but...) from our mediocre Chinese restaurants here, SIGN ME UP !

All in all, however, I think THAT is the most awe-inspiring and intimidating thing ! (the emphasis is mine......)

I just paid $20/lb for some last week at Albertson's.........I feel USED !

I know what I'm having for dinner..............Hot and Sour Soup and potstickers!

So, has this been good for black beans, also? Seems like there were some mixed results.

Alright, I'll play........ Although technically a fruit, how about: MAGGIETHECAT'S Tomato Soup Cake ?

Abra~ I am amazed that the ginger/lemongrass soup is not only NOT coconut based but uses powdered ginger! Who'da thunk? Were the Banana fritters a little sweet? What an interesting meal. I am jealous that we don't do anything like that around here. Maybe we need to start.............. HEY ! Central Coast eGulleteers!

You mean, like "The rose was the color of Benjamin Moore Tomato Cream Sauce #208" ?

You mean Cow Patties? SB (as distinct from beef patties) ← Yeah, but I think I could have done without the image, thankyouverymuch But, back to Pasture Cakes...........

To quote Christian's tasting notes: Four Vines 2004 Paso Robles Spanish Tempranillo Blend Loco Tempranillo from the "Tres Cajones Vineyard" in Templeton is blended with Syrah and Grenache. Massive, massive wine. Big fruit, big structure, big balls…in fact three. On the palate, big black fruit that seems to resonate with angst. Huge structure with rich tannins; long, long, long on the mouth; a rich oak finish. I'm not sure that I could have said it better myself

OMG.........it never OCCURED to me to use bags from anything else in my Foodsaver !!!! wowiezowie.

Kent~ I have a Lab who is a washout from the Guide Dogs for the Blind...................believe me, they are tempted, just too well trained to let you know
