Thanks for sharing that photo. I rather doubt that I'll find it this far south, but at least I know what to look for!

There is a nice distribution of Daiso shops in the LA area:

Avocado & kimchi toast:

Here's what I picked up on a recent visit to my local Daiso Probably not as large as the one that @Anna N & @Kerry Beal visited but still plenty of interesting gadgets to capture my interest!

I just got an email that mine is out for delivery. I just got on a plane in Washington DC so I should have a treat welcoming me when I get home!

Not my cooking, but an excellent dinner out in my hometown Duck Leg Confit & Grilled Housemade Chorizo Sausage - with duck stock reduction & apple-mango chutney, toasted potatoes & carrots. Not sure the snow peas belonged with this dish, but they were fine. Edited to add this link to the restaurant site. The chef/owner has been with the business for 30 years and many of the kitchen staff have been with him for 15, 20 years or more. He’s a childhood friend who grew up in the old ‘hood so I like to eat here whenever I’m in town. Doesn’t hurt that it’s the best food around!

Looks like a boy bunny to me.

I guess that would be me. I recently made the Greenest Goddess Dressing/Dip from Tartine All Day. Recipe available online here. I used homemade aïoli and sour cream. I and my friends thought it was delicious as a dip with some citrus arancini and raw vegetables (previously shared here over in the avocado cook-off.) We did not try it on toast 🙃 but it would be great on a chicken sandwich, for sure.

Dang....I was hoping for a “Take Your Bunny to Work” thread 🙃

The additional accessories included with the non-US version make it more attractive to me than the design alone.

Can you affix a little backpack/basket to his back/front and pipe decorative straps to disguise the cracks?

I have one like this and quite like it, though I usually don't think to put it on until I've already gotten something on my clothes 🙃

I also had an airport breakfast - Huevos Rancheros, rice & beans from Loteria Grill @ LAX No amazing plating but it will keep me safe from plane food!

On Instagram, apparently.

Another thank you from me. Your food photos are amazing as usual and the before and after photos are striking. Thanks for sharing!

Interesting. Our HoJo's had icy cold metal cups - like your tongue could get stuck to them!

This video of a guy breaking his chocolate egg made me think of you: https://www.reddit.com/r/MadeMeSmile/comments/b2smef/this_guy_breaking_open_chocolate_eggs/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=web2x

I have no personal input for you and this may go beyond what you are doing but for another perspective, you may want to listen to Episode 358 of Dave Arnold's Cooking Issues podcast where a vision challenged user called in looking for an induction unit with a knob rather than a membrane touch pad, or some other way to get positive, non-visual, feedback from adjustments. It's not a specific need that I have but I can imagine it being useful for many people.

I understand there have been diet associations with cottage cheese which would taint it for anyone singled out and required to eat it but I was still really surprised that the college students refused to buy it because they didn't want to be seen with it in the grocery store. This did bring back memories of a "Cheese Danish" recipe that Weight Watchers used to promote - basically cottage cheese with a little vanilla & cinnamon broiled on raisin bread toast. This version calls for ricotta but is basically the same thing. It is very, very far from a Danish pastry but it wasn't a bad breakfast. I may have to revisit that one!

Interesting article, @Alex, thanks for sharing. I'd never really thought about how cottage cheese was made and didn't realize that curds and "dressing" are made separately and then mixed together. I like an occasional summer meal of fruit, especially melon, and cottage cheese but I don't keep it on hand regularly. It always seems to go off rather quickly and grows weird pink slime.

I used to see frozen rabbit from Pel-Freez Foods in grocery stores. I haven't seen it since their animal welfare concerns but they are apparently still in business. The name always caught my eye as we used to have Pel-Freez prepare custom antibodies when I worked in the lab. I always wondered if they used the same rabbits to make antibodies and then sold the meat.

Egg, avocado & bacon onigirazu with brown rice (Massa organics) Somehow my egg cooked with an unintended bubble on one side which I filled with the avocado slices 🙃

I don't know how they'll be used but they look like beautiful sculptural pieces!

Back in this post, @Katie Meadow said the use of fish sauce in this NYT recipe for Citrus Salad With Peanuts and Avocado made her wobbly. @Smithy's friend reported the fish sauce being a bit much. With those advance inputs, I give you this Citrus Salad with Peanuts & Avocado: I used Red Boat fish sauce and it's quite salty so I reduced it by half. Tasting the dressing before tossing, I bumped up the rice vinegar a bit and had to omit the cilantro because I am out. Citrus and avocado are all at their peak at the local farmers market and that may have contributed to my positive response, but I like the salad and the little hit of umami that the fish sauce adds.

I spooned some lentils under my poached egg:
