Kim Shook " Paul – I’d love to make scallops like that. How did that work – getting the breading to stick to just the top? " For the scallops -- standard breading --dip in flour -into egg wash -into potato flake --allow to set and dry a bit more in frig about 1hr. Before frying I think i did a 50 /50 butter olive oil --it doesn't need to be smoking hot your just tring to cook the flake.. then finish in a 425 oven Cheers Paul

When I cook my longer sauce tomato ( type sauce ) ie Gravy stuff.. my meat sauce example I always drain the juice for the can of San Marzano whole tomatoes. .For example Cook the sauce the extended period.. I usually do a cook -- cool -- cook method. But I will add back in the fresh juice of the tomato ( in the re-cook ).. you tend to mute the flavor in a longer sauce and I think it needs brighting up a bit Paul

I know when my sauce is getting close.. when you get those glisening fat droplets on top of gravy.. I always say it the little Retzyn crystals forming : http://hsionline.com/2005/03/24/what-the-heck-is-retsyn/ Otherwise I use short ribs, and other bone meat.. that needs that braise ( loosely used ) time

I roasted half of my crop of German ( orange with a little red ) Tomatoes that I peeled..in the oven @ 225 F till dried and concentrated with onion celery .. then a bit higher heat to finish .. I think I went 275F The other tomatoes ( I did add a couple Celebrity reds ) --I just sliced and cooked on the stove with a little Sutter Home Pinot Gris white wine Cooked those till it reduced slighrly Put everything together and ran it threw a food mill to remove seeds and skins and fiber ( reduced that ) What I liked about these tomatoes is they have a great acidity and sweetness . I used salt and white pepper tt I then sauteed small diced carrots carrots in butter. drained added to soup Garnished with lovage and a sprinkle of Cayenne Add Pretzel bun croutons

I looked at a Stalk today.. Trader Joe's had it for 3 bucks You know I almost pulled the trigger on 2 of their 3 dollar products .. today 3 buck Chuck too dC how was the Stalk ? Artichoke ish?

Prawncrackers Where did you get your molds? I have the silicon molds and never have achieved that color? But I have only made them 2-3 times!! Did you coat the inside with beeswax? Cheers Paul

I think dcarch..could solve the problem...by building a resting rack..that would keep the head off the ground or table. [emoji200] snort or I use a melting tool ( like a soldering iron ) for plastics and it has a collar around it with hexagonal sides.. so tip is always fulcrumed up and the square sides keep it from rolling around
