Sorry I misread. You have a "small operation". So unscientifiic but when we sanitize our 3-1/2" plastic pots for seedling transplant we just stick them in a tub of water and add household bleach like you would add salad dressing. A pour over. Seems to work well in the greenhouse. There is always fungus among us

Rubbng alcahol is how we clean thngs like mealybugs off growing plants. We spray it on. Plant doesn't care but bugs get suffocted. Work on fungus too.

I have had success with some lemon or lime juice and a boatload of an herb like parsley or cilantro or adding tomato paste which is sweet.

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

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?

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
