Oh! men are creatures of habit so the same good stuff works for them - sexist but I think true..They love you

Oh Chum! working dogs are so awesome. So when you hear a bunch of giggles and chatter outside your door it is eGullet members crashing your party.

Interesting. For some unknown reason I have done corn (which I love) with a curry paste. And I like green beans alongside. Thanks for the inspiration.

You reminded me that dried shrimp are missing from my pantry. I have great access- I just added to the list (which I typed as lust - oh the brain)- cuz w/o the list am a loose dog in the store

Oh well the local Japanese population would collect mussels off the the rocks even when signs warned "danger" - nobody died...

Oh my - a new repeatable phrase "repeat until replete" - brilliant

Well m'dear your "just a baguette" is what most of us consider over the top special. Your bread baking inspires me. As soon as I get my kitchen back (hopefully mid October) - the dough will be aging (cold ferment girl) and baked

Oh my - my peeps are hyper honest. One of our old members did a blog about hr farm and her hubby published in a well known book book about farming. - I put it up but can not find/ This is their farm blog and older newsletters http://www.mariquita.com/news/news.html

I sent your hunting pics to a former employee who landed in Wichita. He would love a hunting connection, He is from Michoacan, Mexico. So you globally inspire

Oh my goodness - that oven is a work of art!

In terms of produce I prefer to buy from local farmers. My farmers market peeps are honest. They will say "no pesticides - not organic certified" and you can ask them exactly how they manage their fields. The certification process can be excruciating and as noted above "organic" is a fluid term.. Fish similarly - know your supplier who also knows his provider. I know exactly where my fish come from and they will tell me openly the status and provenance. PS: went to school with the boys https://santamonicaseafood.com/

Who knows (or cares) but my peeps from 1700s high German used it. No hard "a" as they do in the US. When folks toss around jam or jelly I still have to think what they mean to say.

In my experience they do not keep so well. I would juice and freeze it in ice cube trays. Then whenever you need a jolt- pull one out for a dish. Alternatively you can do what many Asian countries do - gather a crowd and enjoy. Like a party featuring fruit - quite common.

I caved to the raw peanuts in the bulk area of the Korean market. Small, skin on. I roast them but circumstances impede that for a few weeks They are currently in tupperware type container in a cool dark place. Freeze?

Oh hell we have the thriving chain Veggie Grill here. All mock meat. Years ago I bought a cold prepared dish at 99 Ranch - i did not realize until later that it was Buddhist vegetarian - I thought it was a ham/spam product in there - but nope- t'was fake meat in 1994.... https://www.veggiegrill.com/

And do we not all wish stopping off at Eataly was possible. You are killing us! Oh I have ik but it would tame me hour and a half each way within the city https://www.eataly.com/us_en/stores/los-angeles/

That is what dogs or ants are for

As @Duvel says - I'd go with the roll with stuffing. Julia Child has a good recipe but my book is buried somewhere. It may have been veal breast, but same idea. One of the most memorable meals I made as a young cook. I don't really see veal as "red meat".

Yes everything I have read is so so complimentary of his humor, liveliness and caring

My dear we always have to watch for the cat - magical creatures

I appreciate studies being done with the best research frameworks possible. I also know that the neural connections and the testing and imaging abilities have come so so far. Data, as long as its basis is clear, is a positive. However, what I feel not being addressed in the studies is the bio-psycho-social factor of being mentally satisfied with taste when it comes to humans. We've come a long way from the routine application of rodent studies to people. A huge bag of Ruffles potato chips eaten mindlessly cuz they "don't hit the spot" versus really well done fries are miles apart in the enjoyment realm and in my non scientific experience that affects volume of consumption and also translates to future food that one eats.

Stunning views and pottery. Thank you.

I really enjoyed this article on the Barnacle Queens of the Spanish Seaside . Gives perspective. https://roadsandkingdoms.com/2016/barnacle-queens-of-the-seaside/

Oh and Edna Lewis writes lovingly of the young green https://www.giarts.org/sites/default/files/What_is_Southern.pdf

I appreciate the thought you put into your food. As Tom Roston just said about Windows (paraphrasing) it was love not money
