Ahhh, @Duvel - listen to your DW - much better choices!

Not exactly a new idea; the ubiquitous fruit and vegetable vendors who set up on the streets have been pricing bananas like that since before Joe traded. Usually 4 for $1, or $.35 each.

Pretty easy and quick to prepare: Faella "Tofe" with assorted raw tomatoes, roasted Hatch chilies, feta, Parmigiano, olive oil, salt and pepper.

I roasted (on the közmatik) the fresh Hatch chilies from Trader Joe's: Of course, it being Sunday (and Saturday was a late night), the közmatik is unceremoniously being used upside down. The chilies are pictured after the first turn; I think they took around 15 minutes to get nice and blistered all over, and then the skins slip off easily, after they steam in a covered bowl for another 10 - 15 minutes. I used them in what I'm sure would be everyone's favorite dish, to accompany pork chops: A sauté of fresh corn, sweet onion, GREEN BELL PEPPERS, Hatch chiles, assorted herbs. Pork was pan-roasted and sliced - it's served atop a honey/mustard pan sauce. White Marcella beans on the side. Had I had all the ingredients on hand for New Mexican style Calabacitas, I would've made that instead. Perhaps next time.

The only time I had a problem with one of the electric ignitors on the Wolf range here, I gave the ignitor a gentle, yet thorough cleaning, and that took care of the issue. They don't like water and/or crud around them.

@KennethT - have you ever had the Big Tray Chicken from Spicy Village on Forsyth Street? It's quite good (no comment on its authenticity).
-
Exactly. Kind of why I quit the bean club - after figuring out the ones I really like and being able to purchase those by the pound at a close-by store.
-
As an addendum, I think when using beans of questionable age, they must be overnight soaked.
-
Basically why I'm moving all my rice and stuff like grits, polenta, oatmeal, flour, etc. to the fridge/freezer. The beans are gonna have to wait, but I hope to use up my supply while it's still relatively fresh, and then only have a pound or two of beans to deal with at any given time.

Nothing really gets better as it sits in a pantry.

The full fat, in all its guises, is great.
-
What restaurant is doing that?! Because it’s WRONG. I had beans at Foul Witch recently, and they were cooked till soft and luscious and not bursting.

What did you buy at the liquor store today? (2016 - )

It is still unopened as of this morning; those Basques sure talk funny! (The distilleria is located just south of Bilbao). -
Not necessarily a Trader Joe's product, but purchased an hour ago at Trader Joe's... Trying to avoid any rocks or other contaminants in my food, I stick to mostly produce. Today, avocado prices were way up...I think two weeks ago, I paid $1.49 a piece; today they are $2.49 (appears to be a shortage of Mexican avos).
-
Failure to take a picture before we start digging in means... The table looks a bit like a crime scene, though I've cropped out the really bad part...oh, what the heck... Marcella beans, reheated in the oven with Parmigiano and bread crumbs. Criminal green beans and wax beans "marinara." Gambas al ajillo.

Another non-recall, but... Not for nothing, I generally don't eat oysters in months without an "R" in the spelling, nor am I a fan of oysters from warmer waters like the gulf.

Antica is delicious, and certainly saw a surge in popularity with the "craft cocktail" movement. Formaggio Essex is currently carrying Pane Carasau from Sardinia - and it gets here in good shape! -

After reading an article about the "vermouth hour," I stopped into a small shop today and picked this up (only because it was what they had): The article: This Summer, Pause for the Vermouth Hour -
I like the wild caught gulf or Keys shrimp, simply because they don't fuck with them like they do with Argentinian shrimp. Here's the ingredients for the Argentinian shrimp: Ingredients: Shrimp, sodium-metabisulfate Both of the salmons are cold-smoked; the "gravlax" is also a cold-smoked product that they simply add gravlax herbs and spices to. They should last up to a week, with the amount of salt and smoke in them. I will let you know; it might be a while.

Figuring I'd give Wild Fork a try, since a few of y'all like it. Received my first order today (with $20 off and free shipping, not bad!). Arrived frozen solid, with a small few pieces of dry ice in an insulated bag inside another paper shopping bag. 1 lb. of Key West wild shrimp (10 - 15) 1 lb. sea scallops (10 - 15) 1 lb. Halibut filet skin-on 2 lbs. USDA CHOICE BLACK ANGUS BEEF THICK NY STRIP STEAK (2 steaks) 1/4 lb. oak smoked salmon 1/4 lb. Gravlax salmon All in for $98 includes a $10 driver tip

It seems as if (from the recipe) it's fruit puree with an addition of milk (or cream), as opposed to milk (or cream) with the addition of fruit. The first would be sherbet, and the latter would be ice cream (I think). I guess the Rose's recipe falls in the middle...not quite ice cream, not quite sherbet? https://www.masterclass.com/articles/ice-cream-vs-gelato-vs-sherbet-vs-sorbet

Dave Arnold is such a great geek. And since he’s my neighbor…respect.
