    Dinner 2021

    Cartoon Saloon designs on cells not computer. Think Bambi v. Pixar output. Oh and thanks for your Fleishsalat Rezept -

    Has he seen Wolfwalkers? Your pizza always enticing.
  3. Do you add spice heat during cooking or at table or both? Preferences?

    Maybe only opened tins but you also have access to lovely breads! My buddy Martin used to lead whale watching tours here and he swears they look at you and they "know" you. Ancient knowledge. During migration season the nuns let us out of class to go to telescopes on cliffside and watch.

    Nice piece of fish. Salsa = sauce in Spanish so go wild
  6. Agreed. I like to lay things out so I can see all the ingredients, the cooking vessels, the spoons and spatula and such. My mise en place of everything. So...counter space. However when pressed I can cook using the top of MW and fridge as staging places. Some clown convinced ex we needed a prep sink in the big island. Really?! I only popped vegetables or drippy stuff in there for staging. The day it splashed back at me and the cooling pastries I shut the stops off. One of my mantras "more is not always better".
  7. Even in L.A. that median is high! We have this kind of ridiculous yes but the best part of some older homes is that they have the breakfast nook area which can be repurposed without expensive drama. https://www.realtor.com/realestateandhomes-detail/1-Pine-Tree-Ln_Rolling-Hills_CA_90274_M20238-90642
  8. I used to frequently do a carrot cake with a similar moisture level. The results always identical twin like. As to oven placement I did my spice cake oddly yesterday and learned that the right front side of my oven bakes differently. It happened cuz my hands hurt so I slid it in haphazardly. Exorcism is an option
  9. Not surprising by FB - they do seem to dance in the dark over there.. I know the UK meaning but in today's world it still startles me when I see it in print.
  10. I think you posed what would have been my first question. Can you track the pan that "falls". Also oven placement. Same rack? Also if same rack is it same oven spot? Welcome to eG

    Well that was a clever save! Did you think it up or had you seen it elsewhere?

    To me not flavor bomb - just comfort food - creamy, pickly, mayo, cold cut goodness. Beige image not worth it. I get it from this place. https://forums.egullet.org/topic/138482-eg-foodblog-heidih-2011-a-slice-of-life-in-the-south-bay-of-los-a/?do=findComment&comment=1812212
  13. It reminded me of the old celery vases. https://www.atlasobscura.com/foods/celery-vase ETA: Eater wrotw a. bout scallions in vase last year It’s that kind of proper specificity that elevates “regrowing scallions” to “displaying my prized greens for the enjoyment and envy of my guests cat.” Make your victory sill look truly victorious, give your glorious sprouts the pomp they deserve."

  14. As usual we have done this before with excellent input https://forums.egullet.org/topic/89026-making-tortillas-at-home/ That hand to hand patting is a classic sound when women make flour tortillas. I like this tutorial https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K8gWQxNStiw I think her resting guidelines give you an edge. Have fun!
  15. Just not as even
  16. I see. Was thinking corn. Once you involve wheat flour you face gluten. I have not made then in a long time as so many local excellent and dirt cheap. Rolling works. I prefer an initial press of the dough ball and then treating it like pizza dough. Top of your fingers underneath and lightly stretching around.quickly.
  17. Oh and do not regret leaving the wooden tortilla press. In terms of presses every Mexicn restaurant or home kitchen I have seen usess the cheap metal one. Quite compact.
  18. FIL gave me one once along with a banana hanger. I do not care for bananas...
  19. Fun tour of the kitchenware shop. As to the reamer - thats what forks are for. Insert and twist ;

    Breakfast 2021

    Mushroom envy here. I wonder if part of your french fry success is that you used an adequate amount of oil. I've seen people go so low cal crazy they might just as well have nuked them from raw.
  21. I prefer the "all in together" approach as I don't care so much about appearance as taste. I like the cream and mustard to really mingle with the protein.
  22. Mustard oil? Has skull & crossbones here sometimes. "Not for internal use". Some old regs - tell that to South Asians.
  23. As is the rape - brassica napus.

    Dinner 2021

    Nice looking. Is the cherry element a preserve? I stumbled on some discounted Cherry Bonne Maman at Kroger - just the right tartness and sneak it into lots of dishes.
