Here is the first package: dcarch

She told me she will be sending different cuts. So I will have a variety to play with. dcarch

A good friend will be sending me different cuts of Bershire pork. Known as Kurobuta Pork in Japan and Berkshire Pork elsewhere, a very nice kind of pork. My friend raised the pigs herself free-range and organic. They were young when they were slaughtered. What would you suggest? I have a sous vide cooker, but I don't always insist on sous vide everything. Thank you for your help. dcarch

Sorry, off-topic: 1. How do they de-bone duck's feet? You can buy them in Chinese stores, and they are not that expensive. 2. I have never seen turkey feet. You can buy animal feet for all animals (except fish), but not turkey. Do they have GMO feetless turkey? dcarch

MSG!! People pretend that they are a good cook by using MSG. dcarch

Why waste good chicken feet making stock? Braised chicken feet make a wonder snack. dcarch

There are those who feel scotch should be enjoyed at room temperature. dcarch

And there is the white kind of wood ears, "cloud ears" dcarch

A very popular mushroom you see in stores is eringi mushroom. It has a very very thick stem. dcarch http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4089/5051966697_e3b8837c87.jpg

What about Chinese truffles? dcarch

It depends on many things. Suppose you roast one in an oven for 1 1/2 housrs, shut off the oven, and let the bird inside the oven rest for 1 1/2 hours, that can make a lot of sense. dcarch

Activated charcoal: Pet stores which has aquarium supplies. dcarch

Looking forward very much to share your food experience. Thanks. Just saw a program here a day ago in NYC public TV channel about kangaroo problems there. They are moving into urban areas. dcarch

"---How do you explain crushed ice melting faster than cubed ice based on the above?---" The ice may melt faster, but the total melted ice will be the same at the end. It depends on heat of phase change, which is a constant. dcarch

There are many recipes which call for pouring very hot oil on food, after the food is cooked. dcarch

Thanks, nothing special, except I added wild rice flour. dcarch

Nothing complicated. I have this dwarf orange tree which makes a lot of small sour oranges. I used the orange rind and a few leaves to put in the SV bag. Very nice infusion of orange citrus flavor into the chicken. dcarch

Someone from Greece. dcarch

The purpose is not to have all the oil smoke. The purpose is to heat up the cooking vessel to the hotest possible temperature to retain maximumn heat. When the oil starts to smoke that means you should not go further heating up the oil, you should start cooking. dcarch

I don't care what other people eat. I love to be invited to a vegan dinner. I do meatless days regularly. I am curious: Do you think it is OK for children to have no food choice in a vegan family? dcarch
