    Dinner 2023

    Amazing how much gas pilots use. When we switched our old 8 pilot vulcan for the no pilot Blue Star the LP gas use fell so far that we got a call from the supplier asking what in the hell we did to reduce usage so much. 😃
  2. Green peppers are less ripe red bell peppers.
  3. Size difference's cooking times are solved by sous vide, but not portion inequality

    Food recalls

    Indeed. An awful lot of oyster-derived infections goes unattributed because of the difficulty in tracking sources. I once heard a lecture by a NOLA infectious disease guy. Gulf oysters are a no go for me. I rarely eat them raw anyway.
  5. That is a tremendous number of words in that article. I confess that I never saw the attraction to fish and chips. Still it is a thing and it makes me sad that its endangered
  6. Be careful what you wish for.
  7. And there is, of course, Methode rotuts
  8. Yes indeed. Le Cav is very good. They redid the Green Room a bit (still very elegant) and installed a great chef. But I'd go 4 blocks to Bardea Steak. Seriously, I wouldn't schlep from Baltimore to go to Fair Hill.
  9. American Airlines lunch. PHL-TPA Not terrible. A braised beef and macaroni and cheese. Sensible choices for the 737's galley incinerators. It was tasty. The spice cake was nice. The Seuss-hued hummus was gross, but I am no friend of hummus.
  10. Yup. Cabbage and cauliflower used to be cheap too. And not that long ago. Crazy
  11. Fair Hill is right around the corner from us. No restaurants near there until you get to Wilmington where there are several good ones. If you stayed in Wilmington at the Hotel Dupont you'd be closer than Baltimore and near some good restaurants (La Fia, Le Cavalier, Bardea Steak (which ain't no steakhouse) . But I endorse Charleston whole heartedly.
  12. Correct about grinders in Philly terminology. But NOBODY ordered a sub within city limits without being slapped around . 20 miles from the city takes you a long way into Godforsaken territory
  13. Here's another Canning Funnels for Kitchen Use,Food Grade Silicone Collapsible Kitchen Funnel Set of 3,Large Wide Mouth Funnel for Mason Jars,Jam and Spice,Small Funnel for Filling Bottles and Powder (eG-friendly Amazon.com link) Widemouth funnels for jars etc.
  14. I only have 2 long forceps. Clearly I need more. 😉
  15. Besides the general barfyness of it? Someone who is looking for "cooking inspo" generally is searching for a can of mushroom soup not $300 of iberico pork
  16. There's a link on that site "Need cooking inspo?" Good grief.
  17. We all have them. I'm not talking about expensive stuff. Here's one of mine Silicone Lid Set (eG-friendly Amazon.com link) Silicone lids. Flat and store easily. I wedge mine into the space between the range and the backsplash. They can look crappy with long use...so buy a new set.

    Pork Skirts

    Only in Georgia
  19. So secreto steak is either a mystery treat or a scam. I prefer the idea of a mystery treat that butchers have saved for themselves all this time
  20. Esp if you sous vide it. I recall destroying a brisket that was papain-treated by SV at about 150F. Turns out that the temp optimum for papain is about 150....

    Its everywhere here. Even in the supermarkets, although you need to go to the Mexican groceries to get the good stuff.
