  1. Those would be helpful stars if people would stick to them faithfully but I have doubts that they would. There's also the problem that most recipes if judged realistically, even from this distinguished group, would be two-stars or maybe 3 at most. But friendly charity would creep in and grades would inflate. I still am in the no stars camp.
  2. I'm against a rating system for all the reasons stated above. In addition, it isn't eG-ish, its Yelp-y. Comments would be helpful. ***/***** wouldn't.
  3. Acorn squash ring stuffed with allspiced, mashed, smoked yam topped with brown sugar. (lifted from the dinner thread)

    Pork roasted with apples and onions, acorn squash rings filled with smoked yam puree with allspice, saged fingerlings.
  5. The WF sort of in my area is about to get a run for its money. A big Wegmans just opened. The prices seem a bit better...selection is better...meat and fish seem equivalent and perhaps cheaper. The nearby Fresh Market is doomed, I think.
  6. Is it PB in maltodextrin?
  7. Will it take a good scrubbing without losing its finish?
  8. BTW, Rotuts, I love the tip of the hat to that old Letterman bit in the title
  9. Epiceram is great stuff but pricey. The microbiome of the hands is highly variable and depends on what you last grabbed. There is no one microbiome to restore on the hands. Its a desert, dry and without much for bugs to eat. Not to say its sterile, but it doesn't have much of a stable flora compared to oily or moist areas. Most of the microbiome products are ahead of the science anyway.
  10. The problem is that some people have a weaker skin barrier and weather change or challenge by solvents...soaps etc causes the skin to become inflamed ...which further weakens the barrier and the situation spirals downward. A tendency to eczema adds in that hyper-irritable tendency and adds itchy digits and palms and little blisters. When the problem is mainly back of the hands irritation is the big culprit (not eczema) and moisturizing with a ceramide containing lotion eg CeraVe is important because it speeds repair. Bag balm and greases are helpful protectants, but not as helpful when used alone. Both have their place. Mid strength Rx steroid creams when used judiciously are a big help. Getting hands tuned up before fall/winter is important. If you only start after there's a problem you end up playing catch-up till spring.

    I'd say light details here, unless requested. Or perhaps a link to the FB page where the details reside
  12. So how does a bottled mustard eg dijon, keep its heat?
  13. Clearly, US crude oil causes classic rock songs. https://www.google.com/search?q=rock+oil+production+graph&tbm=isch&imgil=kQncvZ5xdcGnBM%253A%253BRArH2twCZPQ6JM%253Bhttp%25253A%25252F%25252Fwww.overthinkingit.com%25252F2008%25252F09%25252F23%25252Fthe-hubbert-peak-theory-of-rock-or-why-were-all-out-of-good-songs%25252F&source=iu&pf=m&fir=kQncvZ5xdcGnBM%253A%252CRArH2twCZPQ6JM%252C_&biw=1280&bih=887&usg=__amFdh-5qUyf8iLdOH7OPvFrA1pE%3D&ved=0CCcQyjdqFQoTCNC2jO7n-8gCFYZJJgodMYYLgw&ei=x548VpC3DIaTmQGxjK6YCA#imgrc=kQncvZ5xdcGnBM%3A&usg=__amFdh-5qUyf8iLdOH7OPvFrA1pE%3D
  14. My OCD allows no mutant dumplings.
  15. The rolling is my downfall and a pasta machine doesn't quite get the job done
  16. Thats exactly what I do. The gyoza wrappers are surprisingly hard to find reliably around here in supermarkets and egg roll wrappers or won ton wrappers aren't quite the same to me...an issue of thickness I think

    "Katherine Hepburn brownies".....crusty and bitter?
  18. That's a great question,Liz. The bags of frozen dumplings at Costco are junk. I don't get why they aren't everywhere you can find crappy frozen pizza rolls.
  19. That is an issue for sure. I keep my SVS in the basement because kitchen space is precious.
  20. I had been just thinking about the cooking temps, but I agree w Lisa, mustard and honey clash with the mushrooms and don 't really cooperate with the bacon either. Lots of heavy flavors that don't pair well. I think I'd add a touch of acid...diced cornichons or pickled onions or something...to brighten the thing. Or maybe pickled mushrooms...
