Exactly - I have it on the ledge above the washer. Just for fun. The big avocados I showed on my blog long ago came from a sprouted avocado >>> tree!!! My landlord was a nutter but he got lucky.

@Dejah I have too many OMG/yes please comments to specify. Two quick questions. I always see cheery as preserves. The jelly was a true jelly with no bits? The tofu skin rolls - can yiu explaon what the fry then steam acheives. Seems it would eliminate any crisp but maybe just to firm up the skin? I have yet to ever play with the skins but they are readily available here.

@BonVivant The bread from the Mosel Valley - yes please. You have given me a good idea for my ripe avocados - adding toasted nuts to the mash. Better with your bread but we cope.

Victory gardens. I know the meaning was different, but empowerment same?

Clever boy. Murphy was with me at a neighbor's house. as we stood right there he plucked the largest beautiful tomato and scarfed it.

So American style

Did the queso have green chiles?

Those crispy oatmeal ones = perfect! Craving intense.

That just means real though can be said sarcastically. The phrase "Echte Amerikanerin" (female reference) or "Echter Amerikaner" (male) There is a movie

Nice find! What were the filling options?

@Kim Shook Sucks on the fridge but in my experience it is so annoying that one either tunes it out immediately if still moving things around or it times out after you leave room so not hugely helpful. I try to remember to hip bump the doors.

In a topic I do no recall, snow crab was mentioned as super high priced now. Today at Ralphs (Kroger) fat long legs with nice clusters were $8.99/lb. The King Crab legs though --- $60/lb

Your liquefication issues recently may require an eG "how to store" intervention. Sure the canid was as startled as you were.

Depends on the spices. I use pumpkin as the creamy ingredient in soups including noodled, works well combined with coconut. If the spices are in the vein of pumpkin pie - pass

Eliminates the cost of dental floss

@Dejah I always enjoy the array of flavors you pack into your meals. You inspire! I enjoy the chew of udon and am a bitter melon = comfort food fan

if you can find Chinese celery in your market you might give it a try. https://www.melissas.com/products/chinese-celery Or try some lovage on your windowsill https://www.foodnetwork.com/healthyeats/in-season/2013/08/herb-of-the-month-lovage

In my experience everything you describe is okey dokey in a cold fridge well covered. Don't sweat the small stuff And they are dog people with big hearts - not food critics That includes the salads

My local Ralphs/Kroger does that. They are good.

So enticing in this warmer weather. i have wondered - do you wake up inspired, assess ingredients available in the morning, or do you plan night before. My goofiness is planning the meals as my "counting sheep" method.

@Shelby I think taste rules over "classy" I mightnot buy the Cheeze Whiz but I'd eat the cauliflower dish ')

Interesting. I keep grocery store produce department live basil on a windowsill and notice over time that the leave size decreases but the flavor intensifies. These are the little 2-1/2" pots that are really just a load of seeds sprouted in on pot - not a single plant. One or two usually remain useful for weeks. I pluck leaves off versus cutting stem.

For those of you who occasionally use the bagged Asian Salad kits and who keep a cucumber quickle bowl un summer I am sharing a nice enhancement (here is looking at @Shelby and @Kim Shook adding some of the vinegary quickles w/ their onions really adds interest. Did it yesterday for first time. I'd always added some onion and cider vinegar but this was better.

Thanks for that -I was gifted a little square of an almond pastry cream and pear sweet with that little crunch on top and could not remember the name. Such a welcome contrast. this one but with the topping - maybe they do not always bdomit that way. https://www.littlefrenchbakeryla.com/

Harbor Freight rules. All the men in my area were in love. I have been there - for the free stuff.. I didn't realize how national it was.
