Yes it is brilliant. I thought it existed but my vision is very challenging at the moment but I wasn’t comfortable saying anything in case I was hallucinating.

I must delve into the series because this is the first I have seen. Thank you.

OK Shelby. You absolutely know I love you so I can say this with impunity I hope. I frequently roll my eyes at things our members post but I do not believe until today I ever rolled my eyes at something you posted. But burger bombs? Pizza bahn mie. Oh Shelby! I think I’m going to blame it all on Covid!

I found the whole article to be so much fun. As if one can lay down laws about how to eat toast and jam! Nevertheless I was intrigued by the concept that toast with a topping should always be cut on the diagonal. It is very logical in my mind.

Are the jim-jams worse than the heebie-jeebies?

That is my best practice! I use a spoon for the topping.

And the substrate would be?

I was raised in postwar Britain and it was certainly either bread and jam or bread and butter but never bread and butter and jam. Now it is mood-dependent rather than ration-dependent. But the guilt never fully disappears.

Ah yes! Now I do see it. Thank you.

My favourite jam!

Here. “The toast needs to be spread liberally with butter, but the jam should be a 1-2mm screed across the top. No pools, no lumps, no hillocks. If you overdo it, the jam will create an overbearingly sweet mouthful. The flavour should be butter, underpinned by toast, the jam a restrained spritz of fruity sweetness up top.“ I think @Kim Shookmight get a chuckle from this.

I am still not seeing what you are seeing but I followed Faith Durand on microwaving eggs and found this .

I will check that out. Thank you.

No worries. I found it quite disappointing when I checked it out and realized that it had nothing to do with microwaving poached eggs!!

Yes. I frequently have that issue. Fish that are fishy don’t pass the smell test! I like the smell of shrimp and don’t consider it fishy. When shrimp start smelling fishy they get binned at my house.

Yes I do know that and I commented upon it. I found the comments very confusing something got really badly mixed up! But there are other recipes around for poaching eggs in the microwave. I will probably have to try it myself.

Have you tried poached eggs? In the microwave I mean of course.

For the most part reheating food is better done in the CSO than in the microwave! If I was forced to choose between one or the other I think the CSO would win in the end.

OK. Thanks but I thought @weinoosaid he was rolling them out. It’s hard to imagine anyone attempting to use a press to make flour tortillas. Although I’m sure it’s been tried because I tried it myself — once!

You have lost me.

Absolutely. It is a tool just like any other tool. Some jobs it does really well. Some jobs should be executed using a completely different tool.

Having tried it I can only say that corn tortillas lack gluten so once you press them they stay pressed. Not so much flour tortillas!

So this is what David was proposing and this is what I was responding to. Is anyone on board for this particular preparation of rabbit?

And more.

I think of rabbit as needing a fair bit of cuddling while alive and a fair bit of coddling in the pot. I just don’t think it would respond well to this treatment. But I am certainly not speaking from experience. I will be interested to see the input of people who have more experience cooking rabbit.
