Thomas Keller’s book “Bouchon Bakery” has a recipe for Demi-epis. That may be exactly what you are looking for @AlaMoi.

Be careful you don’t make it so easy to slide that it slides right off the counter when it’s running!Very true! I added felt to the bottom of my Kitchen Aid’s feet and sometimes it will start dancing on the counter. When this happens, I keep an eye on it and make sure it doesn’t dance near the countertop edge. For the majority of my mixes it does not travel.

I can’t say they’d be worth a special trip, but if it’s on your way or a short detour at the right time of day…worse things could happen!Thanks. Won't make a special trip but will try them out when I happen to be nearby.

Today’s bacon egg and cheese breakfast sandwich was purchased from the local outpost of Rise Southern Biscuits and Rightous Chicken. They are a chain with a whopping 2 locations here in California, one handily located about 2 miles from my house and their breakfast sandwiches are my guilty pleasure.
I confess to stealing the photo from their website as I always get a runny egg which was especially messy looking today.🙃. The bacon is always nicely cooked, not flabby, with good smoke flavor, and covers the whole biscuit so you get some in every bite and the cheese is always melty.
You can see the menu at the link above but won’t actually see all the options unless you pretend to place an order.
You can get all the sandwiches on a regular buttermilk biscuit, cheddar biscuit, blueberry biscuit or a potato roll. The egg can be fried, scrambled, ❤️runny❤️, or egg white only. Cheese can be American, cheddar or pimento cheese.
The same options apply to sandwiches with sausage, country ham, fried green tomatoes, or chicken with sauces and more additions for the chicken plus sides like mac & cheese, cheese grits, tots, fried okra, etc.
I order online, leave the house and it’s usually ready when I get there. Kinda dangerous. Good thing they are only open until 2 PM as late night munchies could be deadly. They also have ordering kiosks and a few tables for dining in.
As fast food breakfast sandwiches go, I think they’re excellent so give them a try if you see one around. My only complaint pertains to the sausage which needs a harder sear. And the biscuits don’t hold up to wet toppings like fresh tomatoes, avocado, extra sauces, etc so go with the roll if you load your sando up with that stuff.
Interesting, never heard of this chain but there are two within 50 miles of my house. 🙂
Thank you @blue_dolphin.

Lots of varieties of shelf stable quail eggs at Lotte and H Mart. Some much better than others. I have found brands with jammy yolks and non-rubbery whites.

@liuzhou thank you very much! Your explanation and website link about Bobo Chicken (钵钵鸡) are very helpful. As for the Four Sisters jar of tasty and edible ingredients, I’ll just sample that and decide how I want to use it.

Google Lens is worth a try while waiting for a human translator.
Here's your 3rd pic:
Interesting. Definitely not impressed with the Google lens translation.

Good morning. I'm busy this morning, but free in the afternoon. So I can look at later. 5 to 6 hours from now.
They are Sichuan style products.
Thank you very much! I look forward to learning more about these products.

I was at a trade show and received the pictured items. I suspect that the jar contains chili crisp (as we call it in the US) but I'm not sure what either item is or how I should use them. Please help. @liuzhou

Tried a new popcorn snack today, peanut butter coated caramel popcorn. Very tasty!

Pastry base, almond frangipane, vanilla pastry cream, strawberries, and whipped cream.
Definitely out of practice with plating / presentation.

AUI has a promo on Des Alpes 63% & 73% so I looked into it - 6 kg boxes, made in Switzerland, with the exact same piece design as Felchlin, is this Felchlin's secondary brand and I'm just now figuring it out? 😅
Perhaps ask your rep for some samples…. Let us know if the taste is similar to the Felchlin you usually use.

@curls walked me through nougat at the eGullet Workshop - thanks again! Got around to making some on my own this week. Happy with how it turned out. Inclusions are dried cranberries, roasted pistachios, almonds and hazelnuts.
Beautiful nougat! Delicious sounding combination of inclusions! Thrilled to start you on your nougat journey. Start thinking about fun stuff to try at next year’s workshop. 😉

Have you tried Maria cookies? They might have the taste & texture you are looking for.

Ditto on the pan set.
I have only used the griddle. It is great when cooking for 1-2 people. I like it when I want to cook something that won't fit well in an 8" skillet but is too small to bring out and clean my two burner cast iron griddle/grill pan. Great for a small batch of pancakes, steak & eggs, etc..
Would also work very well in a hotel.

I think it's just an awkward illustration.
I was finally considering jumping on the trend, but now that TJ and Costco have it, maybe it's too late. 🤷♀️
Just saw this video… didn’t know that so many companies were making Dubai chocolate items! May still be time to add your own version to the mix.

OMG! This is sooo good! It's something that butterfinger wishes it could be. Was this demo'ed in Las Vegas is 2017/2018? I love it! Sadly, I only got one piece
Thank you for asking about that piece. I only picked up one piece and wondered who made it, very tasty. Thought it might have been a sugar lamination piece... we've had a few attempts at this at various workshops. I think we got a recipe from Mark Heim and one from Rebecca Millican. Would be great to know which recipe was used - wish I had seen it being made.

@Shelby delicious meals & gorgeous peonies! So glad that this year’s visit from your Mom included air conditioning and better weather. I find that the house is so much quieter the day after company leaves — I also don’t enjoy that first super quiet no guests breakfast. Probably a sign of a great visit… otherwise I’d be thrilled that the visit is over. 😄

Beautiful strawberries! Which farm did you get them from?

Wow! That is a huge quail egg. Wonder if the hen will keep producing such giant eggs.
