I follow PBS cooking shows in my area on Saturdays : the usual suspects : Simply Ming , Lidia's Kitchen , Sara Moulton sometimes a ' new ' show enters a time slot where something else just finished up thus Flour Power https://www.pbs.org/video/flour-power-t4azyp/ this show , not https://www.pbs.org/show/flour-power/ which is being broadcast in my area now if you go to the first ref , you can watch the Prevew which is 30 minutes . Minnesota and river power : white bread very ver interesting.

Mise en place : Capari tomatoes cut into 8 pieces . Bean ( very little cheese ) taquitos Tj's Parmesan-ish , small dice. 1 ) if you slice // chop at least three things , the result becomes Home Made. 2 ) French always helpful bowl soaking to hydrate the taquitos . the bean T's worked well. wish I had some fresh adult spinach , or swiss chard to chop up and add at the last minute . a very nice keeper for me.

I love very pink pork . esp the darker meat that's around the tip ( towards the head ) of whole loins this meat is frequently markets as Country Style Ribs. cook this < 135 F and you are in for a treat.

this has become one of my favorite products @ TJ's : when I( first got this , quite some time ago , I thought it wasn't spicy. but it is . Micro for a fw minutes the chicken is juicy and not dry , the white and wild rice is very very nice and it is a little spicy , like SW seasonings. very nice.

https://www.kitchen-knife.jp/news/price.htm pleased he has given people some time @ the older prices. well worth it if this is a style of knife you are thinking about , and willing to take care of.

@Dave the Cook very interesting points re : tots : I do much better in the CSO , on parchment paper steam , no steam not the point I punch in a number , from experience will work w the tots inside maybe a few seconds more. and its done , crunching as i like , etc Re Fish Temps : Im in complete agreement w youy and Im hopeful @Shelby will think about it.

@Duvel that dog looks not only delicious but ' sappy ' : i.e. the skin is browned and very maillardy , ' tight ' and has a very definitive snap to it as you bite in. delicious

Ive had three take-outs from Thai Noodle. total. im very pleased there are still here and the Duck w thai basil and curry leaves ( broad rice noodles ) is still as tasty as ever Im told

BTW this ' leakage ' may be real or more noise from FB ( down 25 % ) so does any one know about this ? Im guessing that commercial gas appliances home and restaurant are fairly heavily regulated . doubt they are going to get the nod if in the specs there is a line : Leakage ppm ?

recently the idea that gas granges ' leak ' is In the News. lets say some do , some don't. Id be very interested to hear any reliable inso on this ' leakage ' and do the very high end ranges ( Blue Star , Wolf etc ) have documented ' less leakage ' orno leakage ? this is an important aspect of gas ranges . and it would be interesting to see data ( real usage , home or restaurant ) about this leaks . is it cost sensitive ? cheaper lines of rages , have more leakage ? I do have an ulterior motive it would be difficult to legacy in a BlueStar 4 burner gas if there were documented ' leaks '

@blue_dolphin what section of TJ's has those pancakes ? Fz ? Refrigerated ? I hope to remember to try to find them next visit.

i have not had rancid nuts , flavorless dried fruit , and there are no children tues 8 am, its true that its changed over time . there used to be no fresh meat , except empire chickens. now all sorts of other cuts. the people are more or less the same , and friendly their ( table ) wine selections are large enough that i can find a few i like. no problems here for Tj's. they do have cakes , donuts etc. no one put a gun to my head and said I had to buy any of it. for me , it puts WF to shame. RB40 ( the same bottle ) is 1/2 the price @ TJ's

forgot to mention : got this : https://traderjoesrants.com/2022/01/07/trader-joes-green-and-red-hatch-chile-flakes/ very very nice. now if I only had a Deep Dish Chicago style pizza to sprinkle this on.

First , my apologies : something is wrong w this pic. however , the soup ++ was very very tasty and the best Ive ' added to ' in quite some time. a keeper Progresso Italian Wedding Soup and as before , two chicken taquitos , sliced into 1/4 " , and diced TJ's Parmesanish however , I added three Campari tomatoes , from a blister pack @ Tjs's that I aged in a brown paper bag w apples for a few days. this tomatoes actually tasted like tomato and had a serious crunch to them eaten plain. they get 1/4'd and into the soup w all the rest. i let there soup sit for a bit , so the tortillas can hydrate , then 3 + minutes in the micro the tomatoes get ' just cooked ' and the diced cheese is partially melted. still w some chew. next time Ill chop up the tomatoes a bit finer. they had real tomato flavor , and the acid was a nice contrast w this soup. Kalamata olive oil after the micro. this one is a real keeper.

blitz'd TJ's just now gaps here and there no kringle ! wraps missing several varieties , but got wat I needed. remember , Big Snow here revently out of taquitos ( Ck ) so trying the black bean and cheese the fresh bread was there and that's what I really went for.

I will personally maintain that using the two shapes above if the surface area of the wine is the same in each glass assuming the widest area the the newer design is just that Newer . like Newer stuff ? or indeed, it does look sort of cooler than the rounded one . you get that one . or one of each for Mood not wine. but same wine , same wine experience w either glass.

thereis one think Id really like to know : using a wine that had significant nuance : and not knowing which glass what which while tasting back and forth etc : would I , myself be able to tell any flavor differences between the angles or curves at the bulge between these two ? blind ? Honestly ? both would have to have the same Lux fee; and very sharp thin rim

all I drink is plonk these days and mighty fine plonk is is these days from TJ's : no oak , dry , no benzene . in insulated very very stable glass is for Ice , my plonk stands right upito it

the more I think about it I wonder if that ' newer ' central angle is meaningful I do think EA knows a lot about wine , and has been luck to taste some delicious Humdingers and more importantly , try several similar wines at the same time. that really sharpens your discerning skill. but were the glasses tested ' blind ' ie same wine in each glass . effective blindfold the tasting . would be easy to do . move the glasses around so you sent k ow which is whihc only hold the stem , and use the other hand to find the lip etc.

one thing I do like in a wine glass : a very thin lip at the rim. my Baccarat has that. exact same shape @ Crate&Barrel did not. $ 2.00 ? to preserve the Baccart elegance , the C&B's were used more often now I very much favor : exceptionally stable! tried these first : not so easy to hand wash.

@Anna N baklava you bet

@Anna N Im very much smiling looks so delicious enjoy

Excellent Writer understands Targeted Audience .

I hesitated mentioning this article : https://www.nytimes.com/2022/01/27/dining/drinks/best-wine-glasses.html?action=click&algo=bandit-all-surfaces_filter_new_arm_10_1&alpha=0.05&block=trending_recirc&fellback=false&imp_id=405885839&impression_id=31f3191a-81e2-11ec-aaa8-ed200c0a53f9&index=1&pgtype=Article&pool=pool%2F91fcf81c-4fb0-49ff-bd57-a24647c85ea1&region=footer&req_id=650480765&surface=eos-most-popular-story&variant=1_bandit-all-surfaces_filter_new_arm_10_1 but not for long. its a review of 5 current High end wine glasses. I enjoy EA's writing , and have appreciated differences between wines he has reviewed , but will never taste. He has balance , and decent style. then , ooooops , off the deep end for the Targeted Swells of the NYTimes : for review purposes : """ Over most of the last decade the top glass among wine lovers was the Zalto Denk’Art Universal, which, when I first encountered it in 2011, seemed fundamentally different and radically better than the other leading glasses. But in the last few years several other high-end glasses have been challenging Zalto’s supremacy, which brought me to these five lead-free crystal universal glasses, each precisely designed (and marketed) to be the only glass anybody would need to drink every sort of wine. Anybody, that is, willing to pay the roughly $60 to $90 price per glass. Most wine drinkers, admittedly, will neither want nor need such rarefied glasses. Many casual drinkers are happy these days to use inexpensive goblets or even stemless glasses, which I would not seek out, though I am happy enough on occasion to drink wine from a tumbler. "" this glass : the Josephine. got the antenna twitching : """" The Josephine resembled the Zalto, with a significant difference: The bowl bulged slightly around the lowest part of its circumference as if it had a circular love handle before beginning to taper toward the rim, in a gentle arc rather than the Zalto’s straight line. What’s the purpose of this unusual shape? “When the wine is agitated in the glass, the kink breaks this movement and allows the wine to flow back into the belly in a spiral motion,” a Josephinenhütte representative told me. “In doing so, it absorbs additional oxygen.” """" " The Jancis and the Gabriel-Glas were, to me, the most aesthetically appealing in shape and feel. I simply wanted them in my hands because they felt so good. But there was a discernible difference in the way the wines presented in these two glasses. Whether sparkling, white or red, wines in these two glasses seemed slightly less focused, the flavors and aromas not quite as clear or as intense. The differences were subtle but apparent.

Im keeping this combo on my list.
