  1. The nut job blogosphere and instagram etc is crazy for faster, quicker, no-hassle, - so get take out and leave me alone to cook.
  2. Yes and for the non hot chocolate times trending them towards kids like KinderEggs as I noted earlier opens so many possibilities. We look forward to your continuing adventure.
  3. I think that would not be on a cold Teller. I just wanna know where he puts all the lovely food. I mean smallish as told to us apartment, 2 people. ????
  4. Honestly I think it is a very balanced happy marriage. Nobody pushing or shoving to be noticed. The coconut was minimal so I do not detect it really. These cakes do better with a bit of age. I just cut another small piece as my black tea was lonely. I did use some cracked clack pepper as well. Again - nobody stands out as "the flavor". Maybe an unconscious metaphor for 2021 hopes of congeniality.
  5. Oh these puppies are the best commercial to me. I adore well roasted in shell from farmers market or roasting shelled raw ones from Korean market at home, but after that >>>. Different. All peanut, all day.
  6. So fish you maybe caught and thus has not been frozen as I understand most "sushi grade" fish has already been?
  7. I brilliantly decided to take turkey thighs out of freezer last night, without light save for a memorial candle lit, and no glasses. Around 4am I had a flash that perhaps I'd taken out the wings meant for future stock but too cold to leave my perfectly arranged blankets. Yup wings - BUT so cold minimal defrost had started. I was going to thick slice and roast the sweet potato for tonight but I think a brief MW session to give them a head start might be wise. Since I opened a can of very rich coconut milk yesterday for my orange spice bread I think I'll poach the planned shrimp in a spiced coconut broth. Coconut milk is also in the blenderized broccoli soup whose leftovers will be lunch today.
  8. Although @liuzhou has repeatedly dissed "Mr. Google" I think we can all do that if needed.

    Dinner 2020

    Had not heard it but will file "picky chicky" away for BIL. When here he gets the Costco chicken. Sets up his "station" on the kitchen island and offers to be the sandwich maker allowing him to pick away. When he is done I ferry the carcass into the crockpot in garage and start stock.
  10. Do you not like the herbs under the skin method so much as it interferes with browning, is a pain, ultimate texture or? Wondering as I do rough paste in cavity and dryer on skin but under skin always made me tear it. I am a klutz.
  11. I was just going to make my simple olive oil orange cake but my citrus was too sour so I mashed it up with just fragrant zest, lots of warm spices, 1/2 dark brown sugar, coconut milk as the liquid, and a touch of cocoa and Bonne Maman cherry preserve. Smelled wonderful baking and tastes as good as it smelled. Happy. Just brown so no image. Will repeat for gifting in New Year.
  12. Well my neighbor was messing with my head and showed up just now with the wonderful peanuts
  13. Stepmother's banker sent what must be See's chocolates based on shape and weight. UPS Next Day which the driver conveniently left at the bottom of steep driveway that I would never have seen. Sweet pool guy brought it to me. She won't eat it, I won't be offered, so really! When gifts are more burden than thoughtfulness - especially these days when you know it was just a click by a secretary. My sweet neighbor who usually gifts excellent peanuts said he was just not up to it so our long phone chat was gift enough. Their kids got them meal deliveries as a gift. I told my usual cookie giftees we'd postpone until later.
  14. @Kim Shook oh the lists - deja vu my past life. Not that you need permission, but it is o.k.to cross-out & change times when life is chasing you. I can rationalize most anything

    And then Wolfie turned it all upside down in L.A. ach whatever tastes good. Screw the moniker. https://www.masterclass.com/articles/wolfgang-pucks-signature-smoked-salmon-pizza-recipe-from-spago
  16. Ride the tide (but don't fall off the raft).. Self care is not just a woo-woo phrase. Best wishes in interesting times. Still appreciating yeast angel
  17. One of those "ya had to be there" taste memories maybe . Not mine. Plus panettones are generally denser in my experience. I have had high end nd drug store. I was at a CVS or Rite Aid one year and the elegantly dressed couple in front of me had a loaded cart of them. I looked with tilted head at the guy and he said "she loves them - we are gifting and stocking up" https://www.instacart.com/landing?
  18. PS: Sometimes we just do olive oil, anchovy and garlic and omit butter. Mood dependent.
  19. First on pickled beets - i keep them always around. Just cooked how you like and a pour over of vinegar with a much sugar as you prefer. Hey you have a ton you can experiment. I keep it simple with just rough smashed black pepper, onion, salt of course, and something in the anise world like star anise or clove. Bagna cauda - we wing it. This is close to our outline. Good bread too please https://www.epicurious.com/recipes/food/views/bagna-cauda-2827 Pre CV19 a great gathering thing. Still works in smaller quantities.
  20. Thanks I looked on line later and you are correct - not in there. . I think the stained glass ones were in a holiday book The BC book though - perfect for projects with the younger kids stuck at home during lockdown. Cooking and baking address so many life skill sets
  21. Carrot hot dogs - assume we are not going there right?! We like bagna cauda and enjoy the root vegetables both boiled or roasted. Roasted adds another layer of texture and flavor. The roots that work raw are fun alongside their cooked brethren.
  22. Nice green slender celery - bet it is flvorful. As for the carrot glut - do you do spicy pickled carrot coins? Always a great snack or conterpoint to a richer dish.

    If this is correct it orginated in the UK so using the term downunder would make sense. https://www.beefitswhatsfordinner.com/cuts/cut/2466/porterhouse-steak#:~:text=The name Porterhouse originated from,end of the Short Loin
