  1. You will note that this menu offers Miracle Whip but not Mayo as a salad dressing. That says something about something
  2. explains why llamas lick clay before eating potatoes https://www.smithsonianmag.com/history/how-the-potato-changed-the-world-108470605/?fbclid=IwAR0zpyW0mTEYyJ2WmyJ1H5LYkFzASbABbIqV4RNtGAIW63GRFsJ7slR0UzU#zmuOFVl6cH97TVhf.01
  3. Yup.
  4. I don't think that 2cc aliquots of simple syrup are enough for a cocktail. But TSA will let all the airline bottles of booze through that will fit in a 1 qt bag. About 8 IIRC. So why not scale-up using 50 cc bottles? Or just carry confectioner's sugar which will dissolve easily and won't bother the feds.
  5. Kale makes great stewed greens. It loses its kaleness by long simmering with garlic, wine, red pepper and ham hock. Great sub for collards if they are scarce. And airfried with oil is nice. But That’s it.

    BBQ salmon and charred corn salad
  7. I checked out the "careers" section of the hospital website. They are looking for a cook and the description appears to involve cooking. So there's that
  8. I think that there is no kitchen. These things are made elsewhere and trucked in.
  9. Son of Lidia, ex partner of Batali. But yeah, I read his book years ago and he seems like a creep.
  10. Scaling isn’t as bad as the other stuff they might do. I’d imagine pastas would be tolerable. And wine. If you have gum issues you might consider periostat, an anti inflammatory that improves periodontal dz without surgery.
  11. The one in the center looks like a ........
  12. This is really appalling
  13. Inquiring minds want to know....
  14. Good. The tragedy is that lesser chefs who did this stuff too will never be prosecuted.
  15. First class on an airplane costs less than a day in the hospital, yet they manage to feed people with much less disgusting food. It's all a matter of wanting to do a decent job. They ought to let Chik-fil-A do the catering. Or Boston Market.

    Potato-scaled halibut with burre blanc I need to work on technique, I think. Looks a little clunky.
  17. I have a bad feeling about this. Counter space is not freely yielded
  18. Haven't seen Sealtest milk in 40 years at least
  19. Avoid anything on mt washington, Lydia, Paris 66(horrid) primanti’s morcilla, cure, legume are good
  20. I cheat and use a torch. I never get it right, grilled.
  21. I'd like to know much more about their microbiology techniques.
  22. (didn't seem like a year has passed...) DSM classification is an interesting thing. For mental illness on the lower spectrum of severity, inclusion seems tenuous. For example, someone who is a total jerk, eg the Bagel Boss guy, is just a normal jerk until there are a lot of people who are jerky in the way he is, then it becomes a classifiable disease. A bit of an over-simplification, but not too much. Re weird diets, is it just over-strong belief in the wrong science or a form of mental illness? I'd say mostly the former. The internet enables the unschooled. Dunning-Kruger effect etc.
  23. From the archives... Corn with basil and scallops Charred corn salad with basil and lime juice
