You do you!! Sadly, most of us are addicted to salt and sugar, because it starts at a very early age, through no fault of our own. My feeling is if it's not causing any health problems, or if one doesn't care about any health problems it might be causing, enjoy away!

before you buy stuff like this at markets like this, do you buy one to try or ask for a sample?

Of course, at almost 300 mg. sodium PER TABLESPOON, it must taste good.

I've taken to really enjoying the method Jacques uses. https://www.pbs.org/wnet/americanmasters/jacques-pepin-makes-sauteed-brussels-sprouts/19365/

Wow - I didn't see "waitlist" beans...but that's always been a part of Rancho Gordo's supply issue. I don't believe it has to do with a shortage of beans. In any event, here's what Steve has to say about that...

How about taking your own advice and reading previous threads, rather than starting a new one for every single thing you do in your kitchen?

Just a quick check of Rancho Gordo…he’s not out of a single bean he offers: https://www.ranchogordo.com/collections/heirloom-beans?page=1

Every store I go to, if they stock beans, has tons of beans. That's just bull.

I might've actually read this thread about pork stock to see what people do for that, and then combine it with the deep knowledge of chicken stock that the op must have. My guess is that there is also a lot of info contained in various Instant Pot topics.

It just has to be boiling hot when you pour it onto your body parts that you want sterilized.

I'd venture a guess that one's hands are more bacteria laden than one's room temperature tea.

I think what's actually happening is "younger people" (old Gen Zs and young Gen Ys) are trending to cocktails, especially Martinis (or, god forbid, espresso martinis). One or two of those, with an order of fries, becomes dinner. Or as a restaurant owner recently told me: Four kids come in, order Martinis and share an order of fries. No need for wine. Look at this "Happy Meal" from the restaurant Cecchi's: NEW YORK HAPPY MEAL MARTINI & FRIES | $25 Every day 5-6pm & one hour before close And then there's this, from Grub Street:

Did you make furikake after infusing the dashi?

I like the idea of rice and various accompaniments, as well as dashi. As a matter of fact, there's a great source for dashi of all types, here in Brooklyn. I love this shop... https://okume.us/ Where they will custom blend any dashi ingredients of your choice, and bag them for you.

I certainly like Nueske’s, but Schaller & Weber make good stuff too… https://schallerweber.com/collections/bacon
