There is a timing issue with indoor starts. I highly suggest Margaret's tutorial https://awaytogarden.com/seed-starting-supplies/

The season opened in November and this year was not great. Right now my local bestie Quality Seafood says they are at $16.99/lb, At season opening they were as low as $7.99. Your cheap guys may be previously frozen? Still taste good but interesting to know.

@lindag The slimey thing is not an issue with me as I grew up with Cream of Wheat (Nestle's Quick was fave add in). As mentioned above you can bake, The overnight oats craze is huge. Much more chewy and low on slime. My problem is that oatmeal makes me hungry. Protein in the morning works for me or even dal.

I think immigrants from Europe were scale users. I spent a long time as a child converting our recipes to cup/TB/tsp. Used an old scale brought from Europe that used the sliding weights.

In the era of Costco I think not. https://www.costco.com.au/cake-order-form

And its Kosher! Yes they had this problem in 2017 https://www.eater.com/2017/9/1/16239946/sriracha-huy-fong-foods-suing-chile-pepper-producer

I always leave the seeds for the soak. Quick and dirty if I have no muslin is into a coffee filter with a twist. Seems to add pectin.

@kayb well you are thinking way ahead. If Lent starts March 6 then the 5th would be the crazy day I think, Do you put figurines in and what types

Really? We get all types in our Asian markets. I have had discussions with folks in the market and depending on cultural background they have preferences. Of course Los Angeles is an Asian food hub though I think NYC is as well. (hell only magazine I subscribe to is New Yorker...)

Attractive jars. I think the adding sugar and letting it sit is quite common. i remeber the experienced women Vivian Howard interviewed on her series did it,

Well politics. Luckiliy it is back in production. There are more complex and interesting sauces but I like that average Joe has embraced it. A local mens recovery home buys it by the case to flavor up their often boring food.

I have to say I have zero freezer issues but reading this makes me feel remotely more organized. One less issue to check off the list

Ha I have dear friend who adored DD & D. She is a local independent business owner proponent so it inspired her to seek out such places, You never know what inspires. An example: Dales when we go to one of most significant swap meets in the US. https://www.longbeachantiquemarket.com/ http://dalesdiner.com/

We had quite the controvrsy when they were going to shut the factory down due to odor complaints! Idiots. Its in Irwindale - yup where on a clear day the racetrack noise will shatter you on traffic and auditory levels. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Huy_Fong_Foods http://irwindalespeedway.com/

I think he may be an MD so will moderate intake. I'm the nutter that does not enjpy pancakes so no temptation.

Interesting. Thank you for the historical perspective. I don't watch shows like that but many do. The back story is always interesting to flesh out the presented picture.

I was torn between the oreo topic and this one. Today's Sherman's Lagoon. As background the fossil is something he found on the beach and gave to his wife Megan as a cookie cutter.

But thatin no way guarantees availability

Sadly I can not give personal tips but if you have a moment a quick read of this Roads and Kingdoms article might help. I trust them. https://roadsandkingdoms.com/2016/know-before-you-go-to-taipei/

Our freezer is a bottom drawer. When I had an ER nosebleed drama the doc said I should absolutely not bend over for at least 10 days. I unearthed one of those gripper things with the long handle and used it both to open freezer and to retrieve.

if not commercial use it is

Quite excellent but mine does not carry it anymore!

As a former "buffet' queen who understands the need for longevityy of product I like meatballs in slow cooker (think sweet & sour- the classic grape jelly ones). Kale based salads with dried cranberries and seeds hold up well and add color and texture. Bean dip with spicy sauce and melty cheese and chips is always huge winner. With the griddle I think Baja style hot dogs (you could up grade the sausage) would be fun. Our street carts griddle onions and japanos to offer, like shown on this site) no affiliation http://www.dirtdogla.com/

Yes but ya gotta love the paper plates. I am often torn on paper versus on "real' plates in a drought state. Halal groceries here are often the best source of lamb or goat. (as are Hispanic markets)

I think compound butters are a "new but old" thing @HungryC as I recall does ramp butter As a side note the roasted shallot yogurt from White Mustache intrigues
