    Caesar Salad

    The glass tends to be pretty thick but you get salt crystallization at pour spout - no big deal - rinse so you can close. I do not care for the Filipino patis. as a general ingredient.

    Caesar Salad

    He is referring to Red Boat 40 fish sauce from Vietnam https://redboatfishsauce.com/products/red-boat-fish-sauce-40-n-64-oz ersonally I think any fish sauce wwill do In these desperate time the onky one my delivery service has is Thai Kitchen. And I usually use 3 Crabs as does my Viet born great friend.
  3. I am so desperate for my kitchen I set the alarm for 3am so I can get in the kitchen, clean up, air it out and pretend I was never there. Kroger brand pork & shrimp potstickers work as dumplings with frozen spinach= soup. I am a "souper" - Huy Fong chili garlic - I am good. My hands do not work well so my chopping is clunky but just for me so I let it be. (simple words of wisdom...)
  4. No that is cook's treat well fried and the blown up bladder is the children's balloon (see Laura Ingalls Wilder).

    Artichokes

    Yes that was 70's traditional dip. Mom and bestie took cooking classes through Southern California Edison (ya know the All Electric Home era). We were on a deck overlooking the island and thought - channelling @Kim Shook "What fresh hell is this?" - but it was fun and great. These days I go more gussied up mayo.

    Dinner 2020

    Cornbread croutons are under-rated. I love the taste nd the texture :)Will admit they are often an "oops" rescue
  7. They are cute! Love the raven and cat on the mantel. They all play well together. Check your PMs
  8. Living in a Hawaiian Japanese area these are always on offer. I just find the nuts too one note buttery. But they ARE popular. Glad you enjoy them. I prefer the in tact nuts in a bowl as visual art and the cockie loved the challenge of cracking as they do not really have a "seam".

    Dinner 2020

    Kinda dooling over that re-crisped skin and I can smell the duck broth.
  10. I think our boy needs a field trip intervention
  11. It is not baptism by vinegar but a subtle inclusion during the fanning process as others have noted. As always there are variations. Mixing around is not "it" in my experience.
  12. Wow - I can not eat when I am upset. Lately so much to be upset about - but food is connection and play and joy. I move it in that direction. I just learned that a business nemesis died at 64 10 days ago. I called his mom. What did she bring up: are you still doing that wonderful holiday baking. I was not gonna this year - but I will.
  13. Gaaawd I just want my kitchen back! Oct 4 can not come soon enough. The Pinterest sheet pan on Food52 with artichoke, fennel, cabbage, eggplant had me twitching with lust. Sorry y'all are "mojo-less" - it will return. Eat some Lean Cuisine or Chef BoyR D and you will be propelled back to your cooking selves
  14. I must be missing something. Is not the very joy of a cast iron skillet its non-stick quality if properly seasoned and maintained??? Plus who needs arm weigt when moving them round
  15. It is a subtle seasoning addition along with sugar and salt. As you "fan" : the rice you incorporate the add ins. Without it is just short grain kinda sticky rice. https://www.justonecookbook.com/how-to-make-sushi-rice/
  16. Wow a feast. I was most drawn to the 2 ceramic? sauce bowls .
  17. No! The "ponies" are the calm ones that settle the hot bloods. They have a strong purpose. Seriously - I have never had a mint juel - maybe next year.

    Artichokes

    Why I like Trader Joes IQF ones - use as many as you like without the "box issue"

    Artichokes

    I have lived in California all my life. We are artichoke capital of the US. https://artichokefestival.org/about-festival/
  21. Hey we all have our unique skill sets. Thanks!

    Artichokes

    Oh you must! Even more profound than the difference between canned asparagus (run!!!) and fresh.
  23. Isn't that the general comic strip identifier for fruit cake? But do you have a better version as some of us have done with FC above?

    Dinner 2020

    Those "noodles" look like dumplings?
  25. This could be your year to cross over to fruit cake as an adventure. Love to see an image if you make or receive a honey cake. Interesting on the booze and the sort of Seinfeld muffin top scramble.
