    checked out Spiceology. All look interesting, except they all contained salt and orange peel (high in potassium)

     

    Pretty sure I linked specifically to the salt free blends? The first one listed has neither orange peel nor salt.  my apologies if it wasn't helpful

    havent seen one for 20 years.

    You haven't seen dried Apricots for 20 years?!  or am I misunderstanding. The Trader Joe's California slab Apricots are pretty great

  3. Take reviews with a grain of salt on steam ovens. They can go off rather quickly if they are not cleaned and maintained properly.. Most people are used to ovens being bullet proof and rarely clean them. That just doesn't work when you have water and electronics (especially hard water) 

     

    No one is going to blame themselves. Not to say there are no problems with the ovens but there are plenty of alternate explanations for the poor reviews

  4. Could it be a misspelling of Yucatan? There is a well known one from there called Sopa de lima (lime soup, with lime juice, chicken,  fried tortilla, broth ect)

    Per this week’s ad from a local market, oxtails and short ribs are both $6.99/lb

    That's wild! even my local 99 Ranch (Westwood by UCLA) is 13.99 per pound. Usually they are more inexpensive than other local places

    I wonder what restaurants do.

    keep it refrigerated and make only enough to last 3 days (or frozen depending on the shape / available space). Some use pasteurized egg products as well, egg yolks are available in a carton and easily available through distributors the same way egg whites in a box are at regular markets

  7. A lot of it depends on your Sourdough. I've never had it and I don't have your taste buds but as long as you keep it refrigerated I don't think over night in the fridge is really long enough to get it very sour. And (I think) you will need that much to get the light and fluffy part. 

     

    Try it your way and see how it goes! It's probably going to take a couple tries to get it exactly correct but I have faith that you will dial it in

  8. I would do everything by weight myself, but I guess the the real answer is a question -how active is your starter? I mentioned earlier that I would start with 20% so that would be about 110g/ 3.5oz sourdough. (If My math is correct, I am a couple drinks in on a Friday night!)

     

    I don't trust volume measurements but if that's your thing try 1/2c starter and subtract 1/4 cup flour and water from the recipe (assuming your sourdough is equal parts)
