So kind of like the Vietnamese caramel sauce (Nuoc Mau) https://www.vietworldkitchen.com/blog/2007/10/caramel-sauce.html I get it.

I think they are close. In the US hoisin as one sees in squeeze bottles in pho shops is sweeter and less funky. Kind of like Huy Fong Sriracha versus HF chili garlic sauce. https://blog.themalamarket.com/sourcing-tian-mian-jiang-sweet-wheat-paste/

Slate Article: Gordon Ramsay Changed Everything About How My Kids Eat
heidih replied to a topic in Food Media & Arts
Yes he pushes the envelope on senory experiences but I tke issue with his non-normative emotional outbursts. I have worked with autistic people and there are less dramatic ways to integrate issues with nutrition and sensation . I am not a fan of the term "normal" so do not mean to imply that as a meauring stick. However as we intergrate iot society there are judgments and norms. Yelling and screaming - ,maybe not so productive -
I find it intersting that the first place I ever saw a Smithfield country ham in that sort of canvas bag was many many years ago (pre internet) at a Chinese market (99 Ranch).

Oh you cheese enablers! I succumbed to this small piece of triple creme @ $18.99/lb!!! http://www.aoap.com.au/content_common/pr-white-mould-cheese_guilloteau-fromager-daffinois-excellence.seo May be dinner.

@weinoo Slightly ot but of interest to NYC pizza afficianados - did you listen to Ed Levine's history of pizza interview? Pete Wells chimed in. https://soundcloud.com/user-306003081/special-sauce-uncovering

Yes we have often discussed them esp in France but peppered in other topics so no link. So many snacks...so little time ')

Several horticulturists favor zip bags. Closed till grminated then slowly wope kore and m0re. They sell those big ones to store your sweaters in.

@Shelby Beautiful crab - love the knuckles. What is the green dish?
-
I'll defer to someone like @kayb
-
In a regular oven it is a dense piece of meat so to get it a bit firm and glaze nice as @kayb describes makes sense. But I am odd - not a fan of juciy ham. Not applicable to a Smithfield or similar country ham

Those cheap (unfotunately 9/11 flash back) box cutters work well http://www.thefreshloaf.com/node/3784/box-cutter-lame

I was a kid listening in on the name branding arguments by the founders. They wanted to make a marketing impact. They took "der' off cuz gramatically incorrect in German after complaints. As a preggo I was addicted to their chicken sandwiches. I'd waddle over there. Perfectly fried breaded chicken with fresh lettuce/tomato/mayo.

I think it is all silly. You know what makes sense. Heck butter or other fats are now OK and eggs after years of drama? You can follow trends but in the end a balanced diet coupled with joyful life rules

Pink food! I love beets but that is more vibrant magenta. All the pink Valentine's Day stuff makes me cringe. It doen't even get to taste as I won't put it in my mouth.

On woking with phyllo: don't ovrthink it and don't doddle. I've been wrangling it since I ws a young girl so it is second nature to me. Make sure your hands are dry. It gums up with moisture. We used to do the butter (margarine!) every layer but as @Darienne noted Chefcrash in the baklava topic turned my thinking around. Melissa Clark has an interesting recipe where you drape the phyllo over a Bundt pan, poking over the tunnel, fill, and fold over excess. No spinach but I think it would be a welcome addition (well squeezed). Holes are poked and butter over top. It is on deck for my next gathering. https://www.nytimes.com/2009/04/15/dining/151arex.html

Some version is on deck tomorrow. I'm torn between the flag fold triangles , a sheet pan pie, and a rolled "strudel". Also up in the air on herbs. Anyone have new input?

Did you do the traditional addins? I love the variations. This is one of my favorite food writing articles: http://articles.latimes.com/1994-10-13/food/fo-49542_1_red-posole

Outside the Brown Bag - Taking my Kitchen Toys to Work

oops thought it was a 2 second rule. Yes agree the immediate reaction of scalding heat on hands is to throw them up. Good save -
I think he s referring to the Breville Steam Oven Air Fryer Function https://www.williams-sonoma.com/products/breville-smart-oven-air/?catalogId=60&sku=5235432&cm_ven=PLA&cm_cat=Google&cm_pla=Electrics > Toasters %26 Ovens&cm_ite=5235432&gclid=Cj0KCQiAkfriBRD1ARIsAASKsQIdMUmPAANizXV17qWmNDVeRy19p8J6qY_MErILoRJqruX4b1rf0IQaAkwsEALw_wcB

OK I get the crazy moment. "fine pastry" I guess I am so used to the odd mash of english in many Asian goods that I kinda of shrug them off. How many times can you say "really?"

Bimbo makes Hostess look like small potatoes. Odd sounding but part of the culture. Maybe I missed something. Bimbo delivery trucks roll around here. Largest commercial bakery in the world. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Grupo_Bimbo

Pumpkin is most definately a winter hard squash. https://robinhoodradioondemand.com/podcast/pumpkin-recipes-from-lucinda-scala-quinn-a-way-to-garden-with-margaret-roach-october-22-2018/ Just like butternut, hubbard, acorn and all those hard guys. Hello Halloween

Kindness & Salt: Recipes for the Care and Feeding of Your Friends and Neighbors I just listened to Ed Levine interview the 2 guys. Really like their philosophy.

Oh yes - a wonderful segment of cheese. I like this article https://books.google.com/books?id=c7cacFl04bgC&pg=PA518&lpg=PA518&dq=pecorino+cheees&source=bl&ots=awjswZ2MIU&sig=ACfU3U2seyR9Yb-eXOjjm7bLn_yP8Y7D1g&hl=en&sa=X&ved=2ahUKEwj6xcyO6KrgAhURVK0KHRZBBiEQ6AEwBnoECAgQAQ#v=onepage&q=pecorino cheees&f=false and overall I love the work Sister Noella does amazing work https://www.finecooking.com/article/heavenly-cheeses On a fresher note I am plotting goat milk soft cheese ala Ethiopian buttermilk standard. My "cheese awakening" as a teen was in Corsica so I have a bit of bias http://www.gustidicorsica.com/en/5/filiere/corsican-cheese.html
