  1. I start people off with no-knead to show the ease nd simplicity and magic of flour, yeast, salt & water. Not a baguette but some pretty decent bread.

    This article compares them. Personally do not care for any goo that affects the crispness of fries. Some friends enjoy the saltado at our plentiful Peruvian places. - Comfort food. No poutine here. https://www.ajc.com/entertainment/peruvian-dish-worthy-obsession/QMxpCxwosBBEGqGs9AvaVO/
  3. Oh I have no hesitation. Gonna simmer forever anyway.

  5. I thought the same I think Meyer lemons would work. They are sweeter overall with a thin in comparison to the Eureka type.

    Dinner 2020

    @Kim Shook Gotta love the March Christmas party on the Easter theme plate The cinnamon pecans and glazed almonds really look good. What a lovely array of goodies.
  7. I meant difficult to grow from seed in a greenhouse. Scattered to the winds they feel more at home as you observed
  8. Uber alert text just now - free delivery if you order from local restaurants. Not completely spelled out but interesting.
  9. Oh we had that dairy service at grandma's. Wind the back window down and be the superstar who got the bottles. There were local dairies as well. One down the street from my first grown-up house left the adorable building in tact. I always wanted to buy it and remodel as a home like some do with deconsecrated churches.
  10. We did not have one but a neighbor a couple years ago remodeled her house and insisted the contractor leave it intact as she was so taken with it. Reminds me of the back door of the fireplace. My grown sister did not know that it had been there all the time to clean out the ashes without making a mess in the house.
  11. That is a lovely color. I've seen them in waterwise native plant gardens. Pain to propagate as many wild flowers are - They crave that starvation and then rain cycle in my experience,
  12. I don't get them but many buy the cold flour tortilla wraps. Sometime my friend wants coffee at StarBucks before farmers market and I will get their spinach-feta-egg white wrap but they toast it.

    Get a touch of water in the palm of your hand, rub it over the bread, bread in foil loosely encased, toaster oven or whatever. Remarkable. CPR for stale bread. At least for me for many many years.
  14. And really though not authorized you can slip them cash. To make it ok "thanks for bringing the piece of mail I so accidentally left by the door". That has been going on forever.

    Dinner 2020

    Oh goodness this reminds me of a Japanese market I used to go to regularly (Hawaiian influenced) At the beautiful fish counter they had some sample recipes and mayo slathered and broiled was always in the mix. And now we are Momofuku Kewpie based dressing chanting praise. Interesting. Is there a mayo board like dairy etc?
  16. OK so purring rain, only one grapefruit left so I did a super small batch riffing on David Lebovitz recipe above. Really good balance of flavors.
  17. Nancy Silverton does a great primer on natural yeasts in several of her books. If library closed you have time to play
  18. I also use S&B - it has a nice depth. Depending on my supplies I like to add fresh ginger for a different note. Since I have way more citrus than we can use or give away I'll cut some type in half and drop in the pot. The pith adds a hint of bitter. Citrus leaves also work as does lemon verbena. I used to buy whole coconuts and the whole making the milk thing but admit to canned now And as you note NOT low fat one. For that type of stew I prefer chickpeas and eggplant for heft rather than potatoes and maybe some tofu and serve with a short grain rice. Being a California girl the rice is usually Calrose. Freezes nicely for future meal as well.
  19. Oh ja - I think the current phrase is "hunker down"
  20. Reminded me of the zucchini noodle twister. And for nostalgia the pencil sharpener mounted for some odd reason on our garage shelf
  21. Oh goodness you have taken me way back. My mom (deceased '83) had a box of Thai food cutters, Stepmother tossed it so no image. All these cool cuts you see in some Thai food images. Ggrrr Replacing not an option personally.

    Breakfast 2020!

    47F here at 8am. Could not sleep so started crockpot of lamb shank at 3am with plenty of liquid. So lamb broth for breakfast. Meat and veg on "hold warm" for rest of day. Really really good. The gross looking yellow blobs are squirts of ballpark mustard - ran out of Dijon.
  23. A Calrose? I did stock up before this mess
  24. I am not a corned beef fan in general - give me house made pastrami which I grew up with. . However at the St Pats prices - in the crockpot and portioned out to flavor beans or greens - not a bad freezer staple.
