I'm really impressed with this book. Good looking recipes (except those involving okra) that are novel and very well explained. Howard seems like a good and thoughtful human too.

How come?

So Canada has TG before Halloween? Brilliant! esp if you ignore Halloween altogether. Does that mean your stores start Xmas stuff in October?

I just boil sliced and peeled yukon golds till done. Drain them. Add a couple splashes of cream and mash by hand (a mixer or blender can make a gluey mess). Salt.

Me too. I grew up outside Philly and thought them tough and unappetizing not-green-beans, but not choke-worthy as a despised lima bean.

Today I bought several New Zealand lamb racks for about $11 each. The local supermarket sells it for $24.

Its choice. But the best choice around. supermarket has choice, but its crap. Costco also has prime, but I'm quite happy with choice.

Really easily even if all you buy is meat there. And the meat is far better than the local supermarket chains (Acme and Giant).

Let me cast a weak vote in favor of occasional imprecision. Some recipes defy absolute quantification and rely on feel. I'm thinking of a cauliflower gratin I make. If the cauli is very fresh it is so wet that the gratin is soupy, so I precook it to dry it out a bit. I suppose if I could test the density of the thing then I could give a precise recipe, but I can't; so I rely on feeling the heft of the cauliflower and prebaking as needed.

Had the same experience. Banana peppers growing next to hot peppers came out lethally hot.

Nor is I & O in PA. Sad state of affairs.

I had my first In and Out Burger last week. A double double. VG indeed. No gloppy sauces, good burger. Not a fan of toasted rolls though. FFs were not very good at all. Mealy they were and pale

That sort of thing has greatly decreased in the past few years. Too many extravagances. I think it is for the best, in general. RE WW2 heroes. I understand that Monty had ringing in his ears all thru the war due t o all the quinine he got via gin and tonic

The 4 hospital doc food groups: Pizza, Chinese, Chocolate and caffeine

That's more like it!

I take the lazy way out and make a frittata

Who funded the soirée ? If it was the school, I'd reconsider my donations in light of the disrespect.

Cath guys do that all the time....What sort of movie?

Buy it. You can always put it on eBay and turn a profit.

What a nicely detailed recipe. Could be a useful book indeed.

I make a soy and red wine infused onion "jam" that would go well

And your back...

@Franci How do you keep the silicon molds so clean. Mine get all blackened in spots. Won't scrub off

I like a single small ice cube. Maybe two if its as hot as WT101.

When I've seen this it was always in a private club. Sometimes there are no prices for anyone's menu. Sometimes only the host. No prices for anyone is the more common example of this rare phenomenon in my limited experience. It has never seemed to be related to gender.
