6 Mini garlic naan with tomato sauce, artichokes and cheese.

I suspect it is less a question of shelflife and more a question of a market for such a product. Any time that I have had a bacon fat dressing on a salad it has been a hot dressing. Cold bacon fat doesn’t do a lot for me in terms of a dressing.

Wow. Of all the people I would never have guessed that you might be anti collard. I cannot explain why this would be but it is a fact.

I know it’s not the greatest photograph and I debated whether to even post it. But, given @Duvel‘s mantra that if there is no photograph then it didn’t happen, I relented. Citrus Shrine, goat cheese and excellent balsamic vinegar on Wasa crispbread. It has been more than a month but the citrus still needs longer to soften up properly. But this was a great combination of tastes and textures.

Shame can be a huge impediment to discussion.

I can find many instances suggesting that roasting refers to an oven temperature of 400° or higher but no support for why this should be or who decided on this cut off point. But dictionary definitions seem to suggest that roasting is nothing more than exposing food to heat. It is an interesting question.

I was going to hang my head in shame until I read what Carlos Villar had to say here. You will need to scroll down to the comments.

I am guessing then it is over my search grade. But I did find this nugget of wisdom from Rachel: “Hand grating adds nothing to the latkes except the occasional bits of skin and blood. And bragging/martyrdom rights.”

Thanks I didn’t even see that there was a link there.

What is supposed to come through?

Cold Duck and Crackling Rose. Oh how sophisticated we thought we were. Those were the days!

I want to make nachos but every time I think I will do so I discover I am short at least one critical ingredient. 😂

Are you perhaps thinking of this?

Very, very small order this time?

If you do a search on the quotation I gave, you will find the TV ads that ran in Canada using it. They were a little more subdued than the American take.

Then, of course, there are foodies like me who think that anything you can do to disguise the taste of hummus is quite legitimate and should be encouraged. 😂

I was not arguing. I was merely quoting the ad jingle that became a very Canadian idiom as it were.

For a change this one was also $1.99 on the .ca site so I grabbed it.

Yup. Only in Canada you say? Pity.

I spent much of yesterday evening and most of the early morning hours today researching what @Kerry Bealand I could eat for lunch. With so many restaurants closed and others opting to do only evening hours it’s not an easy task to find something a bit different to share with you. So after all my work it was Kerry that came up with the idea that we should get food from a diner! This diner. Kerry was impressed with how carefully the server took her order. And we were both impressed with the way she packaged the gravy: Regrettably though the french fries which were the raison d’être for the gravy didn’t make it into the order! Kerry’s poutine which she generously shared with me to make up for my missing fries. Kerry’s supposed Reuben. I am not much of an expert on smoked meat sandwiches but I gather this missed the mark. My liver and onions. I was most impressed with the vegetables. My plate with some of the poutine in place of the French fries with gravy on the side. lots of leftovers including a side of gravy.

OK. I have to give her that. Most likely most of us have some pet pronunciation that we know is totally wrong but that has been part of our vocabulary forever. Words like pasghetti and osco bosco. But like all inside jokes they don’t translate well outside of a small group of people. But have to give her credit. She got an awful lot of free publicity.

So if the yolk is completely raw why cook it in the first place? Many Caesar salad dressings call for (uncooked) egg yolks. Is this some sort of attempt at pasteurization to avoid salmonella? I’m just curious.

Looks quite delicious and reminds me of my favourite pepper and sausage dish. This.

Sorry I missed the part where you said you had found the topic.

You might possibly have second thoughts. Here.
