There is a song right? My regular A city of immigrants is not shy.

Nice plants. Oh that taco seasoning packet. My mom LONG ago made tacos for the stone masons with it. The closures! - I spoke to an older surfer the other day - one of those who gets up before dawn - closed the beaches (whole South Bay) and ticketing (a new revenue booster)

Reminds me of tamago - not my thang but who am I

Quite cold 50F and rain by noon so David Lebovitz rendition of cabbage soup on deck and cornbread on the side. The bread will have lots of flat leaf parsley as opposed to the soup which will get either ancient poppyseed or caraway. Trying times.

Is there not a quote about "there are no mistakes". Experiments drive human progress. Though I say leave the moon alone - lets just figure out earth first

Oh gosh I so so need to hear the tinkle of the vendor's bell. Not happening now...

That is my good handwriting! Blame the French nuns - a mashup of American and French and my stubborn streak. No idea why 2 different stocks. Anything with good flavor. On a desperate day watered down soy sauce works

personally when I rest dough for I tip a bowl over it to retain humidity. Women have been doing this for many many years, tired as heck from life drama, Ya got it.

My old cards say "navarin" My first was at Valentino - it was "something else" https://la.eater.com/2019/1/2/18163217/valentino-closed-santa-monica-last-days-feature Tad heavy on the sherry -

Oh I miss my sake ceramic ware. It must be somewhere. The old Japanese dollar store is muchly missed. Daiso not cutting it.

OMG orzo close ups are completely larval to me

not sure what you are looking at. The one that circulated around the neighborhood for years was more biscuit style. Nothing to dream about but a change of pace. Like this or this https://www.food.com/recipe/beer-bread-73440#activity-feed or https://www.recipe-diaries.com/beer-bread/ We did it more drop biscuit style.

@BKEats beautiful squid (but hold the tomato sauce stuff for me) My dad's wife who can NOT bake has a container of self rise flour on the counter top here just for the beer bread! I suppose if I get desperate... I have quarantined her 3 hours away

Ha when the docs come in to do tattoo removal at HomeBoy the docs ask me if I have an issue - low grade burns on my fingers from the nerve damage and high heat cooking. Just life.

Clearly you are not my neighbor or well there would have been no image. Than you for the visual and descriptive treat

'Florida panhandle had a growth spurt

I do not think so.but get some new and see

I think we need a "go fund me" to send you to a mamale in Mexico once the borders open or come to LA and I'll take you to one.

You are driving me to seek out wild fennel. Maybe a hike after the upcoming rain An image from the past

I thought it was intentional frico

I am more in the "oh you are so good at X" - you just dug your hole. I tried doling out chores to BIL who said he wanted to help. It was painful to watch. Almost kicked the ladder out from under him I am not a burger girl but those look appealing.

Nutritionally but using Cal water to service buyers abroad. It gets dicey.

Overheard a young guy asking about egg delivery at the market. Employee said there were pre-cooked ones. I waved at him and said "I would not. Maybe if e wait it out we will all appreciate them in future" He returned big smile and said "I am with you". Or...get some chickens. https://www.gardenbetty.com/backyard-chickens/

Yes my go to "fresh pasta" as a young cook was frozen from a small corner Italian deli versus air dried (+egg) that great grandma made. Now I am on the hunt for the Stag embossed noodle tin with tiny perforations to allow a bit of air. Aluminum.

@BonVivant Thank you! I saw poppy seeds somewhere in this hellhole. Probably 20 years old but....
