  1. My mind went to creamy cilantro sauce on your shrimp - popular round here. I'm not usually a beef lasagna person but "pillowy" intrigued me. I envisioned it as maybe thin freshly made pasta sheets and a ricotta whipped with egg. Probably totally wrong.

    Homemade Granola

    Sounds like a nice mix. What do the chia seeds add?

    Not seen the baking soda treatment - helps with crisping? I simply want your soup - cold here - well considering Los Angeles
  5. Right. Chicken wire is kinda wimpy. Aviary wire is sturdy. Black coated is visually not odd - no glare. I do not recall if it came black or if we sprayed it.

    Eggstatic about eggs

    Or to parrot Utwo maybe there is no name.

    I realize you like precision but "shell membrane" does not cut it with you? https://digitalcommons.usu.edu/cgi/viewcontent.cgi?article=1153&context=foodmicrostructure
  9. Not my legacy but it felt like our biz. Western Packers wholesale and Golden West Meats retail. Started by a Jewish guy from New York and a loud cigar chomping Texan always wearing Stetson. It took Rosemary in the front office to keep them from killing each other. Legendary arguments I could hear even out on the loading dock.They hired my dad to manage & purchase because he knew meat and had connections with LASKA meat machinery in Austria. The retail stores were packed on weekends but I just had to say I was Johnny’s daughter and they were hilariously nice. Like the tales above – it was an era. The shift was starting to all inclusive big chain groceries. By a stroke of good luck the plant was smack dab in the path of the planned Century freeway. CalTrans bought it and leased back to them for a nominal sum until the project after much litigation got underway. Everyone was happy. Part of why I make a point of getting to know the butchers at my markets.
  10. oh lor - someone else here got me on Maggie and now you have replanted. Curse yu

    Leads to better starch/creaminess retention too
  13. Yes I meant to link it but system won't allow edit 4 several minutes on OP post THANKS o
  14. Iguana quite popular in Mexico - in the pot. "Good soil" can dry out like heck. Personally I'd put some in a pot and less great soil and more shade to see behavior. Gives you control. Gardening is a learning experience. S: I was talking bout rocket
  15. Poor keyboard though
  16. A well written glance at master. I am old enough to remember the ninety nine cent specials. Dad in law lived near strip so I got dragged there many times. https://www.newyorker.com/magazine/2005/09/05/the-egg-men
  17. I think your Iggy Battle will be constant. Rocket is a weed - do not treat it too well. Does your local garden center have ideas on netting to repel the green goobers?
  18. Now y'all have me into snails. Topic here and Turban marine on deck when can go back to Quality https://forums.egullet.org/topic/106406-snails/ http://qualityseafood.com/
  19. So so lovely. I got weepy at the Moet - my champagne intro. The asparagus quiche as presented and the strawberry dessert scream SPRING
  20. It was Madeleine Kamman that got spanked. The window is the thin protective casing over their opening. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Operculum_(gastropod) Yes less snails down here = drought I think. We had huge apple snails invasive non-native in our local lake - those were cool. Lake was dredged and cleaned - thank you 4 your crud Shell.
  21. Maybe I need snail education. I suppose the canned ones are not the taste winners
  22. You have explained this to the kids? They are mentally prepared? https://www.newyorker.com/magazine/2013/12/23/the-intelligent-plant

    Ground Pork

    Oh gawd - what a misnomer. I did not know what it was but it looked good and was made in the back o store still warm Like warm bologna - I was expecting liver taste. Once was enough but I can see it as nostalgic.

    @paul bacino As native Angelena it is embarrassing to not know Happy Easter in. Spanish. Jose Feliciano got all on board with Feliz Navidad. I had to ask Mexican(Jalisco) gardener. So thanks for the Pasqua meal- nice feast
