Sure - it's from one of her earlier books, Marcella's Italian Kitchen (eG-friendly Amazon.com link)... And is as follows: My copy, an original hardcover, is practically falling apart due to heavy use over its life of 40 years.

One of my favorite pans (Staub) to use for making pasta sauce, and then tossing the pasta in the sauce. Setaro Maccheroncini Rigati in a Marcella mushroom sauce. Cremini mushrooms, onions, garlic, anchovies, white wine, tomatoes.

In London, you might like BRAT.

Comté, Parmigiano, Manchego/Idiazabal, Kraft American slices - just for starters.

This is actually my favorite product from Trader Joe's: Their New Zealand rack of lamb, which usually runs right around $20 or so. I cut it up into little chops, marinade in a little olive oil, s & p, rosemary, lemon... And broil them. With roasted potatoes and carrots.

Even though your friend doesn’t want to, I find that zip-lock bags, into which I repack produce mostly well wrapped in Tri-fold paper towels, to be the best way to store produce. I reuse the zip-locks many times, alleviating any potential guilty feelings. The only produce that gets other treatment before storage are lettuces, which get rinsed and spun and wrapped in kitchen towels before going into a plastic bag.

Staff note: This post and responses to it have been split from the What did you buy at the liquor store today? (2016–) discussion, to maintain topic focus. It’s really the pickled onion which makes it a Gibson!

What did you buy at the liquor store today? (2016 - )
weinoo replied to a topic in Spirits & Cocktails
The only issue I can see is that most recipes for a Gibson call for gin; have you ever tried that? -
I think he copied that from me.

I do love the stuff! Some day when you're ordering from Amazon, do try Amora (and my friends at Formaggio Essex sell it)- as @Margaret Pilgrim mentions, it's one of my favorites in its class.

The other night I made spaghetti and meatballs. We drank this: Fantastic nebbiolo +. Lots of cherries and berries, though I seem to have missed the forest floor! Wine Enthusiast Lest anyone think I spend this kind of money on a mid-week bottle of wine at home, you can be certain I don't. This bottle was inherited, and I'm sure it was purchased upon release, when the price was probably around $15 when bought by the case. I have quite a few bottles from this producer - 2010s, 2011s, 2012s, and so on. Looking forward to when they will be opened.

I think, but don't quote me even though I am quoting you, that most Dijon mustard is made with mustard seeds from...Canada!! To quote the ever knowledgeable Wiki: France requires 35,000 tonnes of mustard seed to make Dijon mustard and 80% of the seed is imported from Canada, mainly from Alberta and Saskatchewan where most of Canada's mustard seeds are grown.[10][11] Canadian production experienced a smaller crop in 2022 caused by a heatwave. The 2022 drought resulted in halving its usual harvest.[12] The 2022 shortage was exacerbated by stockpiling by consumers. (How do the tariffs work on that??!!)

I'm gonna guess it's this place...https://www.voyage-adamsimmonds.com/

Yeah, it's great for a French-style salad dressing...it really helps with the emulsification; I usually make salad dressing by the cup, and keep that in the fridge. It generally gets used up in a week. It's also good in pan sauces, potato/egg salads, and those other French salads I like to make, whether with carrots or celeriac. And certainly - on sausages and sandwiches.

Everyone who has mustard older than a year-old in your fridge; you're just not using it enough. I must go through 6 - 8 jars of mustard a year (Dijon-style unseeded, Dijon country-style with seeds, German mustard, NY Deli-style, etc.).

This is the main issue…mustard loses its potency more quickly than you might think.

Cheap Oversized Nonstick Cake Pans that Don't Warp at Higher Temps?
weinoo replied to a topic in Pastry & Baking
I'm just gonna throw this out there, but wouldn't the most cost-effective thing (in the long run) be to buy a pan that you're positive doesn't warp (or at least if it does warp you can get your money back), spending that money up front? Certainly seems as if you are replacing a pan after 7, 10, or 15 uses, that a more expensive pan that never needs to be replaced will save you money in the long run. -

Cheap Oversized Nonstick Cake Pans that Don't Warp at Higher Temps?

I don't know about this, but is it in any way possible to work with parchment paper in a standard sheet pan? The pans I've found to not warp are these: Nordic Ware...https://www.nordicware.com/products/naturals-bakers-half-sheet/ And Chicago Metallic. But I guess then we're getting into that $40 range....have you seen these? I know nothing about these, but might be worth a try...USA Pan Bakeware Half Sheet Pan, Warp Resistant Nonstick Baking Pan, Made in the USA from Aluminized Steel 17.75 x 12.75 x 1 (eG-friendly Amazon.com link)
