cheeseandchocolate, that's a great story about the baguette. torakris, the other day I laughed out loud picturing your hungry family lined up while you carefully take pictures of their dinner for this thread! EDIT: well, golly gee whillikers. That was my 1000th post. Bless you all. EDIT: also to say that for dinner tonight, I wanted the ol' filet and bearnaise gut-bomb. Settled for: hot-and-sour jumbo shrimp, stirfried served with stirfried walnuts and wilted watercress Basmati rice Beer Oranges
Yes, I did. There was also a thread, "Collective Food Diary," I believe, started by Kikujiro , where everyone (well, OK, not everyone) posted everything that they ate all day. I used to love that thread.
Admin: Threads merged. To bring this back up. I'm confused. MSG = umami. Is that correct? Do mushrooms have MSG in them? They taste like they do. I didn't know that MSG could be naturally-occuring until I read this thread. The only time I ever had a problem with the stuff was when adding it (very copiously) to a stir-fry at home, years ago, before I knew dick about cooking. My fingers swelled up and I had to remove all jewelry.
No. It's not milk, and it's not eggs. Come to think of it, I don't know *what's* in my fridge all the time, but something is, and it usually ain't beer.
But what are *you* going to drink then? Dude, I'm going to drink the other 25 cans that are sitting on the floor outside the fridge in the 30-pack cube. Fridge crowded! Just wanted Fritz to have cold beers.
I'd win by three lengths. Try twenty below, Little Black Dress, snowstorm, pantyhose, high-heeled sandals. Smokers: Dumb but Strong. Yes. I have done this. Only I refuse to wear pantyhose. So no pantyhose for me.
Made a garlic-rosemary oil and roasted some baby eggplants in it. Tossed with penne. Shaved Ricotta Salata. A little Parmigiano. Foccacia with caramelized onions. Dessert was (homemade, er, schoolmade) plum/blue/rasp/blackberry pie with streusel topping. The end of a bottle of weird wine that's been sitting around for a week.
I was thinking the same thing. You should not encourage my sick nature. Nah. Go ahead & answer the damned question. There are a couple of bars in my neighborhood that might be a good starting point. Carry on.
