Yes same press the juice vendor used when I was treated to it as a child - at Original (1934) Farmers Market in Los Angeles. SO good.

That "salad" had me wondering. Somehow I find the word Jello more appealing than congealed. How the mind influences our tastes

I saw the weather pattern reports. We are expecting quite a bit. Which shrimp did you get? My Ralphs (Kroger ) now has both types - same packages - but the Key West were $16. I got the Argents. Leftovers going into dinner soup. You made me look up Joan of Arc beans. Can you describe what makes their taste special to you esp since they are canned? Nice result on yor puff pastry spanakopita. That is a pretty but large piece of pork.

Carp being akin to catfish might be nice with the famous Paul Prudhomme blackened prep which uses a sweet paprika. Yes Renee's is a nice seed source.

I can't be specific. My maternal side was Hungary influenced - all those border changes. In my experience you'll know if you like when you smell it, and freshness makes a huge difference. Stepmother's friend brings some back from her yearly trip to Hungary and it is lovely - full fruity round smell and taste. I sneak some. My fish cookery trends more Asian/South Asian so I don't recall when I last used it there. Maybe with thresher shark. As with many things, a trial run with scrambled eggs can help you with the differences and nuances. Have fun!

I can not see images of the classic Knudsen in the pink container with pineapple without remembering love of life husband - daily lunch. Don't see it anymore. Almost forgot. https://www.instacart.com/landing?

I thought those were mostly back of box recipes. We went through a period with the red one. Much more pleasant texture flavor and taste than Jello. Rennet based. https://www.amazon.com/Junket-Danish-Dessert-Raspberry-4-75-Ounce/dp/B00473UBEQ

From AgriBiz perhaps, but there are seed saver exchanges and passionate people all over keeping the genetic lines alive. As our @rancho_gordo with corn and beans and chilies

Oh me too - just had to get over its association with those traumatic intense dieting years. It melts! Perfect tossed with hot pasta, stirred into a creamy soup etc. Yes should have remembered it as sub for ricotta in lasagna but we used ricotta. Sat in salon couple years ago and an elderly client brought in a lemon jello, pineapple, cottage cheese tupperware bowl and plastic spoons, The ladies were raving. Sure the recipe is in one of the pamphlets posted in this topic.

It was not until later in life that I came to appreciate the subtle sweetness of properly steamed zucchini. Growing up it was always being disguised. Just put it on my shopping list. Thanks.

Think we have all been there. From my pocket into 5 gallon bucket full of water. The rice betrayed me but the promise of a good Yelp review got a start up repair service to fix it quickly for free. Humans can in fact work cooperatively.

OOh my - grew up in part with Uncle Ben's converted. Makes an ok pilaf thing but no rice taste. Love the video and the reference to drying your unfortunately drenched phone in rice. Thanks!

In my experience most Asian markets trend to bigger quantities. Also the wonderful array of rices is fun but I find knowing the best way to cook each type massively affects the outcome.

Never a need to apologize here. Welcome "back". I realized reading through I had never replied. I have down-sized for many reasons over the years and divested many books.. Never really cook from recipes, just use them as inspiration. I mean the piqued interest I've gotten from males seeing Madeleine Kamman's "When French Women Cook" on the shelf in my little beach kitchen was quite hilarious. She has wonderful stories. And Kim Severson's "Spoon Fed" is always on the nightstand - on top of it though is the one that gives me the most cooking propulsion so I'd have to call it my "one" for now: Melissa Clark's "In the Kitchen With a Good Appetite".

Unfortunately all I ever get is too small to see teensy snails with the living basil - which then rapidly go to monster devourer size! The above mentioned horney=t must have been "mad as a hornet"

Not only are those seasoning packets cheap - they also tend to be fresher than the stuff in the mainstream spice aisle.

Definitely a wonder wife! I have seen and heard more hilarious things in ER waiting rooms - comedy routine worthy. All social restraints lifted. Poor injured person in the back waiting for care while friends and family provide soap opera worthy performances seeming not to realize it is an open space. Oh as to your custom shoe efforts - good idea. When I'd lost use of my right hand for several months and sloshed boiling water all over my belly it required some re-crafting of clothes. I was a sight.

Interesting. I rummaged around and found an ancient McCormick jar of bay leaves (I'd toss but if step mom shows up she will consider me a wasteful @#$ though she never uses herbs). A suggested use on the label is to add a couple bay leaves when boiling potatoes for mashed - remove before mashing. On the fresh - pre Google my mom got some California bay leaves from her friend - fresh from the bush. She put one or two into long simmered meat sauce. We were all bay traumatized for a while.

Oh yes! I ate my share of those plates. It was, I think, the days of little dairy selection thus it also landed in lasagna, in our cheese strudel,,,,, Also a "thrifty and nutritious choice" during the reign of home economists.

That cottage cheese and pineapple seems to have been a popular "fancy" thing - in jello too.

My Vietnamese friend never wears shoes in the house or anywhere she can get away with barefoot. She is always cooking something. Clearly more graceful than I am. Sad on the sauce. The whole fiasco plays like a slow motion horror movie underscored by pain and the need to clean up.

Oh yes. I always freeze such cookies just in a zip lock. Quality good even after many weeks. Lets you keep a variety on hand so never bored.

Somewhere here we discussed the stories about the snakes on the banana boats - in among the fruit. I remember my sister in Yugoslavia picking a plum off a tree and finding a lively worm inside. Put her off plums for a very long time. She was 4.

Depending on state of greens you get a quick pass of water and paper towel wrap makes a difference - a re-hydration. I was more responding to the cleanse/scrubby procedure. Some stores here do the water spritz a lot. Even a beep alert to let you avoid getting a light shower. I have to shake them off before putting in bag. I do point to back of bin so as not to cause unwanted shower effect on other shoppers.

Oh my - ya jump out of way but the hot stuff is still on your body part. Amuses the cats and scares the dogs. What is the healing protocol?
