    Dinner 2019

    Friends for dinner. I forgot to photograph the steaks (duh). Appetizers Pimiento Cheese Charred yam and potato salad Jalapeno and plain cornbread Sweet Corn salad Apple upsidedown cake with salted caramel sauce Before and after
  3. Fried lebanon bologna (not the sweet kind) is great too.
  4. Amazon just announced a new microwave/air fryer/convection oven.
  5. I still catch on the term ultraprocessed . It is so nonspecific that it is without meaning. A pickled cucumber is processed. Saltines are processed flour. Everything that isn't raw is processed to some degree. And some raw stuff will pack the weight on, eg honey. I'd much prefer something descriptive like high calorie high salt.
  6. You can just bag it in a ziploc and forgo the vac sealer. I do this most of the time. Just get all the air out by the submersion method. I'd spend what you save on the slightly more expensive anova, which has a great record of reliability You are going to have fun!

    pokeweed

    I was just thinking of that too. Foragers scare me unless they are pros who really know their shit.

    pokeweed

    I don't trust most foragers. @gfron1excepted. Too many bad things that a sloppy, ill-trained forager can fob off as safe food. If I can't recognize it as safe on my plate it won't eat it.
  10. Me too. And Kenji isn't all that rigorous.

    pokeweed

    Apparently the very young Spring shoots are OK...but even then need boiling to inactivate/extract the toxic stuff. I have a ton of in in the field. Deer won't touch it. Wonder if @gfron1 ever uses it. Its Ozarky as can be.

    It is as AB says. Did he have a dancing cilantro plant?
  13. Kenji has made a nice career out of doing the sort of things eG folks work out for themselves.

    LOL I should say tastes like stinkbugs smell. The aversion has moderated over the years. Cilantro is only a little obnoxious now. Manager's note: this post and the following six have been moved from the Dinner 2019 topic to keep that discussion focused on dinner.

    Cilantro. Leaves taste like soap and flowering parts like stinkbug

    pokeweed

    good thing you checked from webMD Pokeweed is UNSAFE to use. All parts of the pokeweed plant, especially the root, are poisonous. Severe poisoning has been reported from drinking tea brewed from pokeweed root and pokeweed leaves. Poisoning also has resulted from drinking pokeberry wine and eating pokeberry pancakes. Eating just 10 berries can be toxic to an adult. Green berries seem to be more poisonous than mature, red berries. Pokeweed can cause nausea, vomiting, cramping, stomach pain, diarrhea, low blood pressure, difficulty controlling urination (incontinence), thirst, and other serious side effects. Don’t touch pokeweed with your bare hands. Chemicals in the plant can pass though the skin and affect the blood. If you must handle pokeweed, use protective gloves. Special Precautions & Warnings:
  17. But, but....isn’t this just an electric frying pan without a handle?

  19. What’s your point?😀
  20. Brings the movie “dirty rotten scoundrels” to mind
  21. RCF is a little different than RPM. RCF varies with speed and the radius of rotation, and I believe the angle of the rotor. But whatever, If you stay within the limits you should be fine. Looking at the specs of your unit it seems like it will detect the rotor and not allow it to overspin. I'd also clean it with bleach before you use it. Who knows what hideous stuff was in there before.
  22. I've worked around centrifuges for years and never saw a problem. If the rotor is intact and balanced it ought to be fine. Going that fast you ought to weigh the containers, not eyeball them to make sure they are equal. Why do you need to spin that fast?
  23. But which one?

    Peas, and Lima beans for that matter. Contaminants that need to be suppressed
