Do you cook shrimp from raw or are they frozen cooked ones. ?

Nice use of light and framing. Thanks!

I always imagined Hiroyuki's as not crisp. Someting to be made for us ithi a few days. I am used to the shaker jars or packets where it is a dry seasoning sprinkle.

As someone who s;ent years doing CPMs you are are super on target! https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Critical_path_method

Prickly pear sounds interesting. They litter the hillsides here. How would you describe the tartness level? My head (which is often wrong) thinks like pomegranate?

My standard bread revival is cupping my hand under the faucet and rubbing the stale loaf and then putting it in the oven wrapped in foil. Oddly my now standard no-knead loaves keep super well - probably cuz of the high hydration. Like a week on the counter

Notn on topic but when I thumbed through a local mag and saw this ths topic stuck in my mind.

I am an MC fan girl so interesting. I am more used to the sandy version. Hope others will try amd report back.

I love Frank. For me as well over 50 I think noise and over explaining bother me the most. As old school as I am (cried when I read Valentinos was closing https://la.eater.com/2019/1/2/18163217/valentino-closed-santa-monica-last-days-feature) I don't like over fussy but am still willing to explore.

I have not been around my Meyer lemon source so I am in mourning, I refuse to buy. Pictures would be great.

Yes whole duck makes sense. I am more of a Julia traditionialist https://www.saveur.com/article/Kitchen/Grande-Dame-Duck-a-lorange I do take liberties with the citrus as I live in citrus land so whatever looks good on the trees. It is all crazy now as we had RAIN! Nice plate - manufacturer?

As a Melissa Clark fan girl thos one I enjoy https://cooking.nytimes.com/recipes/1013024-greek-goddess-dip Very green. Feta tang is a bonus for me.

I'd not seen that paint concept before, It is almost tactile for me. Of course I am the kind of nutter who got so fascinated with the idea of leaving the edges of white doors simply raw with varnish and did whole house remodel that way. You must be both exhilerated and exhausted!

You just reminded me about the Smart & Final ones. It is where many of my gardening friends purchase theirs.

Interesting how some cultures are beet centric like my Aussie side. With the former SU I suppose it is the cold as cabbage is also a major player. I'd have been game for then whole dish

Oddly despite what the internet might portray it is NOT a neigborhood. Nothing like K-Town in mid Wilshire or the SGV for Chinese or Little Saigon in Orange County. But ya did pique interest so I will check around. "Cambodia Town" is close by https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cambodia_Town,_Long_Beach,_California

now you have me on a belacan quest. I've known it forever just never sourced it.

I'd forgotten the common term "cleaner fish" https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cleaner_fish

Like ya see with birds on rhinos - they pick off the junk so it is mutually beneficial. http://www.animalplanet.com/tv-shows/wild-kingdom/about-animals/rhino-nights-facts/

I am simply in love with the color. Hey vultures function well ecologically. In my area it is crows/ravens who clean up our roadkill.

I think Green Goddess dressing appears more "green" when finely blended. Otherwise it is just a herby creamy dressing.

Agreed! Hello flour, yeast, water and salt. (generally) - It may not be cnsistant but it always works barring complete mishaps

I am in seafood lust mode. Also thank you for the turtle images. I spent my honeymoon eons ago in partial blindness because I opened my eyes swimming with them offshore Cancun and the contacts floated away...

Wow - you put so much thought and creativity into the project. One often has to point things out to people to help them have a full experience - ex : the wall. Like Vespertine (EOM's design) the elements Eric put into the design are lost conceptually when a guest experieces the space.. Perhaps on your website (in all your spare time) you could guide the "common folk" through the aesthetics. I say that in seriousness. BEST!

I can't even bring myself to wear a garden apron. I bought one and it just feels constricting. I grew up in an apron era. First Home Ec project sewing was usually an apron. The women in my circle generally wore the ones that were more like a long vest - no ties - perhaps better for rotund gals.
