    Nice fish. Mangoes can vary. My South Asian neighbor would buy a case and share- once in a while - dental floss time - scent good though
  3. Looks plump and lusty. Plants are individuals - not all behave as one expects.
  4. When you had to use a match to start the gas burner. Comes in handy now with rolling blackouts when electric igniter is a no go.

    Popsicles

    Great question (do I sound like a horrible media person) but it is a great question. When we were kids the moms just left them in the molds until we wee begging.

    New Kitchen

    Must be tough with CV19. My guys are getting slammed because they could not work in lockdown. My favorite electrician of 30+ years bailed on me because too busy. I was happy he was busy. The other one had no guys available and drove over 50 miles to come out yesterday and he is the owner and they normally only do commercial work. but he did it out of loyalty to my former company. Looking forward to your images, .

    OK so tofu as a flavor sponge which I get. Looks forward to hearing how it turns out.

    Sandwich press good idea. I'd have just eaten the innards. with good rice. Rather than frying tofu I like a touch of olive oil and under the broiler/salamander - like the taste of decent tofu without interference.
  9. Some good oregano never hurts and a few drops of precious balsamic >>>dinner
  10. In am dealing with dad 1922. Still telling me what to do.... And till scoping out the ladies despite married....
  11. It is all about the process and the company. Part of every Hallmark romance movie
  12. Sorry! I sometimes type before I think. I shall blame the Pandemic
  13. Looking forward to your dish. Love the blood on the knife. Yes we eat animals that used to have beating hearts with blood coursing through. Reality
  14. You know way better. She showed us some amazing info
  15. You know you are at eGullet when people casually throw out "I have some venison loin"
  16. Not when you are in a virtual classroom with grad students who do not "get" references to JFK, MLK, RFK, etc. Or who do not know what a s'more is in reality as opposed to a coffee house or cereal flavor.
  17. It was a different time with different goals. Happy you are here now.
  18. @weinoo Those flavor packets bring back memories of @torakris when she was living in Japan. Housewives use them all the time. Sure you will report back. Oh that cheese - I had to go look in the mirror to see if I was literally "green with envy"
  19. When I was young and constantly dieting (the era of Twiggy) I was religious about calories all week and gave myself one day a week off. I usually indulged at a wonderful local place where the Napoleon had super flaky crisp layers, a flavorful cream filling, and an artistic minimalist chocolate squiggle on top. Bakery gone now though ts replacement looks interesting. https://www.pinwheelcafebakery.com/

    Dinner 2020

    @BKEats you do give a giggle on a rough day. - quoting you "Then used a glass to cut rings... Actually I used a jar and it kept sucking the rings up into the jar and ripping the edges but, i was in the middle of a phone call and I was preoccupied and didn't want to dirty a glass and sometimes you I get satisfaction by purpously making something harder than it should be." I do also- why why why. But we always used glasses to cut out cookies but you have to use a jiggle motion and be fast. That suction thing is not good. Sure taste was nice.
  21. Better steamed with those really dry Chinese kinda sweet sausages all on top of rice My half Viet god daughter still remembers mine and she is now in her 30s and a physician. Food memories are strong

    The locan 99 cent often has TC - I like it.
  23. But not used in isolation. The beauty of spice paste is the interplay of flavors.
  24. looks pretty good - smell? I tend to judge on smell first
  25. Get duck eggs! Our hens were of various breeds and yes sometimes more "yolky" in taste. They all ate the same feed though they foraged. in a good size yard. Do report your experiment results. The supermarket eggs from either Kroger or TJ all taste the same to me.
