Oh heck. My thought at first was winged cat then seeing your post just now the expression "catbird seat" embedded. Had to look it up https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Catbird_seat Always nice to have a mug that makes yiou smile.

So 2023 is Tuesday Feb 21. @kayb gave us a preview of her King cakes beginning here. Plans? https://forums.egullet.org/topic/155077-your-daily-sweets-what-are-you-making-and-baking-2017-–/?do=findComment&comment=2377946

Lost my steady Meyer lemon source but sounds appealing.

Do you use a commercial product for the jam or make your own. I've seen lime but rarley lemon. They sound lovely - welcome.

The ones that advert spicy generally have the spice packet in a separate sachet. The labeling will usually say "contains" and note the sepoarate packets.

I grew up saying pop-rik-uh. I got confused when people said puh-pree-akuh No h pronounced in herb or herbal. Famous nationalbrand shampoo here in US - Herbal Essence - no h sound. Checked u-tube commercials - def no H. I do not recall the orgasm commercial from '98b with Dr. Ruth - amusing.

I too assumed green apples. Whenever the big Chinese or Korean markets get a plump looking new crop the shoppers swarm around the bin. Not as big as those shown above. I grabbed a handful once and only recal being unimpressedbut obviously they are prized by many. I recall an almond sized pit and very firm texture. I did not repeat try though.

I've never heard people pronounxe the L where I live.

I too braced myself when I opened the SoCalGas bill. Shockingly there was an insert that said I had a credit of I think $50. "California is fighting climate change and so can you. Your bill incliudes a Climate Credit from a state program to cut carbon pollution while reducoi oiur energy costs." Last bill approx $148., the recent one approx $36. We shall see next time. Cold here too - low 50's daytime.

Seriously -do you EVER get complaints?!

Every time I hear or read posole I think of this wonderful article by the late beloved Patricia Quintana. It will make you crave a bowl along with the add-ins. https://www.latimes.com/archives/la-xpm-1994-10-13-fo-49542-story.html

Wow those were fragile glasses or had inherent flaws. I thought you were going to relate an "oops" situation or tendency but the cracking and faiing - wierd. I've lost so many glasse to the clumsy me and always the ones I liked/loved. How does one shatter heavy Waterford? I dropped and shattered the lovely champagne flutes my oldest friend gave me.along with every adorable Christmas glass I've owned. Apparentlyy congenital. I gave my sister a beautiful water glass when she first got pregnant to encourage hydration. Lasted the pregnancy but not the nursing. Bunny Love is a common carrot brand here. The ones packaged in a plastic bag.

Yes the brand and tyoe @Maison Rustique linked are an instant rice noodle dish. I think something @Kim Shook might enjoiy as a pantry item for a quick mini meal.

Goodness I don'l knowr hat I have ever seen Crisco in this type of recipe. interesting amd apparently from your review (and historically) it works. A sort of lard sub. We used Fluffo all the time for pastry like semi puff plastry dough - just not in a quick bread where i am more familiar with oil https://www.walmart.ca/en/ip/fluffo-all-vegetable-shortening-454g/6000188765241

Toe IndoMie I get are to be boiled for 3 minutes, well drained. Then the packets of various flavoring oils and seasonings are to be mixed in. Not like the Top Ramen stuff.

Since liquid smoke can be a bit ot a teeter totter I find soy sauce a better way to bring out the meatiness of King Oyster shrooms. A touch of horseradish or "wasabi" in the slaw is nice too.

That fried and dipped into glop sounds more Americn-Chinese

OOh sounds pretty gloppy. In future you may want to give arrowroot a try. I like the gloss and consistency.

So the vac pack method seems to be causing the glues together phenomenon?

That flour(?) tortilla roller/cutter is interesting. Never seen that before. I confess - not a mariachi fan having lived in an apartment opposite a fish market that had live mariachi Friday thrugh Sunday. I was on 3rd floor amd going out on balcony to enjoy ocean view and weekend energy was an onslaught of the sound. They drowned out the waves and the seagulls...

The long time tou-tuyber Mark Wiens lives in Thailand and often shoutd out to guide companies. Worth a look at his ones set in that country.

Is it the cut that bothers you? Exposed edges? PIA to open? Be specific with them. I can see their possible notion being that it is more enticong to customer to "see inside" poerhaps.

@rotuts Have you copnsidered https://www.traderjoes.com/home/contact-us

@Kim Shook oh no! are tomatoes on yiur Dr.'s no no? That restaurant and its mission - nice.

All appealing. Have not had Ritz in over 20 years -I now need to reaquaint myself. But you must explain the apple cornbread. Never seen that before.
