I believe that most paper ignites at Farenheit 451 if Ray Bradbury is to be believed. If the propane burner is sooting-up the pan you might want to adjust the gas/air mix to get a blue flame that will be less sooty. But a really neat tip in any event. GP

Gourmand is another of those words that's losing real meaning by frequent misuse. Same thing has happened to "notorious" which used to mean infamous, and "reactionary " which does not mean something done in reaction no matter how many times the media and politicians screw it up.

Or clamp it right to the toilet tank. Changing the water will be a snap.

I'm more disgusted by the "apology" than the crime.

As though it weren't there. -
Perhaps there are tradeoffs., but I'm sure that the right experiment would show that weeds themselves are beneficial to a garden. Landscape fabric is non-chemical, reusable and practical. On a large scale farm the choice is fabric vs Round-up.

Why not mulch with plastic sheeting or fabric and forget about the weed pulling?

An issue with the whole app/main thing is that the customer orders from two uncoordinated lists of apps and of mains. The chef might pair the calimari ap with a NY Strip, but the customer could pair the calimari with flounder and then find the fish bland because the squid's sauce blasted their taste buds.

I'd add egg salad/deviled eggs as a place for yellow moutard. But a hotdog is #1 for me.

A delicate situation, then.

Jo, what does your lease say about planters on the balcony?

Shelby, is that horse corn in the field or can you eat it too?

That's more like it , ladies!

Re Shake Shack...it's a well-marketed burger. Even if New Yorkers line up for it it's still a burger. How good can it be? Why not have a definitive ny pizza instead? Or go do Eataly. Or something more about NY. Do a study of meatballs. Or dumplings. Anything but a lump of ground beef between a roll and stood an hour in line for. Having said this, I like burgers but...

Here's a relevant piece. http://nsnbc.me/2015/06/19/shocking-report-from-medical-insiders/ In spite of the sensational headline this isn't fluff. A lot of published peer reviewed research is just wrong.. One of the big reasons not to be blown to and fro with every new report and a very big reason to insist on adequately powered studies and author integrity issues.

Publishing underpowered studies is a failure of either reviewer or editor. On a couple of occasions I've seen papers that were killed by the peer reviewers published anyway because of the "sex appeal" of the topic.

I recently did a turkey porchetta sv and then dried the surface with paper towels and popped it right into 1/4 inch of oil. There was a little sticking but not much. The fact that the skin was lashed to the turkey with twine doubtless helped the situation.

I'm thinking that engineered molecules are why Hershey's chocolate tastes so bad

"this is a chemical, not a material." is a meaningless statement in the article re titanium dioxide. Anything that exists is of course made of chemicals. Using the logic of that quote one could say that asbestos is a material not a chemical and infer safety from that. Titanium dioxide is not a new compound and has been used to whiten all kinds of stuff for years ..even in micronized form. It was nano before the concept existed IIRC. (Which is not to say that it has to be safe because its been around a longtime) That article was about keeping engineered molecules out of organic food (which seems in keeping with the philosophy of organic food).

Food You Eat That Car Makers Would Hate You For

I eat double whoppers with cheese (no pickle no onion) in my car because I'm hungry and on the move. -
Perhaps if sliced into thin wedges...steamed like a dumpling first and then seared ?
