I am really uptight about food safety but even I would eat this.

If it is filled with raw pork you might.

Me neither. I’m sure there is such a thing as young broccoli but I have never seen it in stores or even farmers’ markets. Somehow I don’t think that young broccoli would have an appearance similar to broccolini.

I would think if you live in an area where removing your shoes to enter a home is not an ingrained habit then someone would surely give you a heads up.

Maybe it has to do with the culture where I live in southern Ontario but I don’t know of a single household that I have visited where it is not expected that you remove your shoes.

After all the many ways we have to cook cauliflower simple steamed cauliflower with butter is quite appealing.

Are they just a different variety? I know them as banana shallots.

Be still my heart! I grew up in Britain and rabbit made a regular appearance on the table. I had an uncle who was a gameskeeper on large estate in Lincolnshire. He would frequently come home with a rabbit or two. His wife would turn them into the most amazing rabbit pies. In the past I have cooked rabbit but never very successfully. They are not very common here but I know a couple of supermarkets that do carry them in the meat department. They are by no means cheap! I have never seen rabbit on a restaurant menu but that could be because I am choosing the wrong restaurants (or was before Covid). I shall be happy to follow along as others cook rabbits.

I am with you there!

Oh wow! That pork looks absolutely perfect.

Me neither!

Perhaps my favourite Japanese dish. So simple, so fast, so good.

Could you compromise and have two fingers of Whistle Pig?

You know how much I usually admire almost everything you make so I think I can say what I think about this dish without offending you. Except for a few ingredients it seems to be a dish designed to take away even the hint of an appetite for me. It is as if somebody had gone around and collected all the things I dislike the most and put them into one dish! Even the name causes me grief being as close as it is to the word choking.😂 I am glad to know it only appears on your table a couple of times a year! Were I ever to visit I would make certain it was not during the winter time.

Oh! So much better than a hot dog!

Me too!

Haven’t we all!

I doubt many of us consider you an idiot! But it’s good to know that you are healing and that the worst is probably behind you.

This unreliability of eggs is enough to drive one to drink (Advocaat)? I can pass on a never-fail recipe to someone and guarantee that it will fail.

The French Laundry and Per Se.

I love potato chip sandwiches. I am happy with just potato chips between slices of well-buttered, white squidgy bread.

Looks quite amazing and those mushrooms really call out to me!

And I appreciate it. Your posts frequently break up a very long day for those of us confined to spaces even smaller than a New York city apartment. Living vicariously still beats the other option! But I do worry about your insufficiency in the matter of Thai basil.

Or you could plant some Thai basil in them. That would make @KennethThappy.

I am sure the poster can speak for herself but I believe she is referring to the foot in the lower left-hand corner of the first photo.
