  1. As someone who has done marketing I see it as classically gender based. Egg -= female so by default big red is male.

    Lunch 2020

    I'll head over. Tortillas are just a "bread product" - use as suits
  3. I tried to interview a local Rabbi at the Chabad center around this time of year being clueless until he said "not good time, busy, High Holy Days". As we come up to that time of year I thought Honey Cake might fit here. Anyone make it? https://www.npr.org/sections/thesalt/2015/09/13/439573786/the-jewish-fruitcake-honey-cake-is-a-sweet-and-stodgy-tradition Marcy Goldman is the author of several baking books, including one on Jewish baking, and she's heard all the complaints: Honey cake is too dense, too dry and too heavily spiced. "Honey cake is considered the fruitcake of the kosher kitchen," she jokes. "The same resistance people may have to fruitcake, a lot of people have about honey cake."
  4. From a marketing perspective it does cleverly evoke the iconic Lady & the Tramp image.

    Can you elaborate on "burnt onion" - either you or somepne else used the term recently and I well - help me out. I will blame the ash in the air if I've fo rgotten
  7. I am always amazed at how a couple days mellows and rounds the flavors of a marmalade. My orange, lemon, craisin one I mentioned above is really excellent now. It will be repeated once I reclaim my kitchen in 3-1/2 weeks
  8. Sounds Italian-American red sauce joint to me. Where are you.

    Caesar Salad

    Yes good. - I only like it with the Lacinto /Tuscan kale. I prefer Melissa Clark's take on Franny's version in in Brooklyn. No mayo, no W. https://cooking.nytimes.com/recipes/11746-tuscan-kale-salad

    Breakfast 2020!

    One pick one's battles Never had the pleasure of mangosteen. I like the description that it has a tart element. Sometimes the "exotics can be too one note sweet for me, Then again I live in Los Angeles where the street fruit cart vendors hand you a packet of chile/salt/citric acid or a lime wedge when you buy a cup. They also include cucumber.

    Breakfast 2020!

    @Nicolai I like the look of rambutan. Do you prefer them to lychee or ? I prefer both ice cold on a hot day. Nice "breakfast" spread.

    Artichokes

    That is not mine - stock photo. My friend does bottle trees but only those intense blue bottles. She has a sign at garden entrance - "Rust Lives Here" - vintage and distressed item collector. I had cardoons which are similar. Love the huge dust gray-green leaves and of course the blooms. I had a crazy gardening neighbor who collected my seed and strew it round the hood. She was intent on promoting thistles.

    Lovely color on the delicata. I could eat just that with the simple but flavorful sauce you mentioned. Why the water?

    Caesar Salad

    I associate the garlic rubbed bowl with 80's wooden bowls - t'was a thing.

    @Shelby Your zucchini soup looks interesting. A rough outline? I did visibly shudder that your beautifully fried flowers were drowning!

    Artichokes

    I just take a large serrated knife and cut cross top. I think the phrasing is not "you would not want to eat the choke" more like you would choke on the the choke And if you were ever able to grow them - let a few bloom - they are magnificent
  17. I am a green lover and a mug person so this 99cent store one does it for me

    Dinner 2020

    Just steam or nuke and side with a mustardy mayo. How we came up. My favorite are halved (after a light steam) and on grill along with charred lemon halves. I still like a spicy mayo with that. Heathen but... Some do like to scrape out the choke for service but with big fatties - just go for it and deal with choke when ya get there. As an intro I do like the prepped hearts that Trader Joes tends to have in the frozen section Not flavored. Pretty simple and gives you the flavor profile. I can snarfle a whole bag myself.
  20. I think hers were imitations
  21. Looks good. I am always the do it the harder way girl. No idea why. Even my body won't process hard core pain relievers like morphine. Like sugar water. We'll just bite the side of our hand until it stops.... Sure you will keep us in the loop.
  22. @Franci Moving - never fun but you will survive the drama. BUT now you have me searching for Corsican cheese to order. Those ewes grazing on the maquis! - the flavor and aroma from those wild herbs
  23. Channel new mothers - sleep -what is that? Ya just get up every few hours and ....
  24. @andiesenji I am completely in love with your jadeite mugs And the history is fascinating. I would love to see your brain in one of those test situations where you can see the neurons firIng - a true fount of information
