In Chinatown this morning, lots of mangoes - especially the champagne variety. They were going at 4 for $5...nice size. Mott St., Mulberry St., wherever.

In keeping with this thread, I probably will never again ask this, but why do you need a thermometer for a braise? And maybe the intention of being so perfect with certain aspects of what should actually be fun and hobby-like (i.e. cooking), is why dinner is so often delayed? After all, Escoffier's firmware was not often updated.

I think that's the same as the Francis I had purchased from my street corner guy.

Made a large amount of meatballs and gravy the other day. Pork and beef from Walden Local. Meatballs and gravy with Faella casarecci. Peas and carrots to complete the meal.

Oh - you read step 1??

Just one of the many reasons why I refuse to use delivery apps...goes back to way before the pandemic even started... http://tastytravails.blogspot.com/2019/06/

Do you unplug the CSO before doing the repair?

Of course - I'm not fond of fond for crab! And what fun is fond feasting on fine crab cakes?

Crab cakes. Served with ramp pesto potatoes and house made cocktail sauce. Salad on the side.

And a really wonderful seafood market (or two)! Cape Cod baseball has, for a long time, supplied the majors with some outstanding players over the years.

It's a great, little city.

Rice was never that big of a multi-times a week thing for us before either. But once I bought the Zo, and found the Rice Factory, things changed, and it's become more of I may make it 3 or 4 times a week. Leftovers for fried rice (not these Japanese varieties usually) are never a problem. Of course, this has been discussed, one might say ad naseum, in another topic I had started back during the first we're fucked by covid era.

I like this one, good all around...Hokkaido Yumepirika And this one - especially good for sushi, chirashi, but can be used for everything as well...Minamiuonuma Koshihikari -南魚沼 こしひかり- 2021 Crop This is fun too...Yumepirika Comparing the Tastes of 3 Kind of Milling Rate Rice - I'd certainly try to get a few different milling rates along with a white rice.

Oh god, even worse than shredded, which at least doesn't potentially all slide off the bun at once.

Oy - I wish you had asked; but yes, a couple of days away. Seems like a few places pushed back their openings this year.

Yeah, that's pretty much based on what's at hand. Since I'm weighing the rice (and usually weighing the rice after rinsing to account for the additional water weight), it's easy enough to weigh the water.

You'd probably be better off grilling that tri-tip to, say, a medium rare.

Two things I noted in that video: 1.. He's NOT using a Zojirushi - it's a Tiger or some such...quelle horreur!! 2. He's weighing the water. Yay.

Very cool. I look at (and now purchase) rices the same way some of us do high-quality chickens, or Kurobuta pork, or Anson Mills/Geechie Boy et al. grains, Rancho Gordo's beans, high quality chocolate, coffee, tea, etc. etc. Of course it's a commodity product here in America and other places, but that doesn't mean we can't up the game. Sure - a little more expensive, but once again, looking at it as price per serving, not really that much more.

Yes - the butter and herbs are a perfect addition; I think Jacques adds a little cream (and maybe a tiny bit of sugar) as well.

Fresh corn sautéed in butter with ramp bulbs and chives. Little gem salad, house-made buttermilk ranch dressing. Garbanzo bean and vegetable soup with ditalini.

Which might be the best thing about the Lobster Pot. Do you, @liamsaunt, ever pop into the legendary Old Colony Tap? Or have pizza at Spiritus (which surprisingly isn't bad, especially when it's the end of an evening)?

Just approved for import into US six months ago...https://www.producebluebook.com/2021/11/29/aphis-approves-colombian-mangos-for-u-s-market/#

I opened the Francis last night... Nice and juicy, a little fibrous towards the pit. Pretty rich flavor that I don't know if I prefer over a Champagne mango. But I'm not really well-versed in mango taste, descriptors, etc.
