They're a very tough plant. Did you start with top-sets or older bulbs? You said that you didn't properly prepare the soil...what do you mean by that? I moved a patch last fall and some have been heaved out of the ground by the frost (bad winter here.) I need to get out there and reset them soon but in the long run it's not going to bother them a bit

Why?

Who knows for sure how rampant it is? Nobody! One need not be a jerk to become a target...just being different or whatever invites the wrath of some. And management shouldn't be considered immune to participating.

Because they constantly watch anything and everything that every single employee does in the restaurant...right? http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2012/07/17/burger-king-employee-steps-in-lettuce-busted-4chan_n_1679793.html

Why not? I've done that for years.

They call it jerky.

It's safe. More here... http://forums.egullet.org/topic/42707-duck-ham/ I use a little fish salt to boost the umami when making things such as this...which cure and dry relatively quickly.

A south-facing window will work. I recommend a professionally formulated seed starting mix..therer are organic ones available. Craig LeHoullier (the guy who introduced the Cherokee Purple tomato to the public) has a good method of starting a lot of seeds in a very small space.....

Yeah, not much there, especially in a squab which is mostly what we ate...not so many older birds. Roast or grilled squab mostly. Squab is most excellent.

Looks great Norm. There are a lot of my favorites there!

Very nice. I raised meat pigeons for many years....mostly White Kings.

I blanch the bones, etc., and rinse (not cut-up for white stock) pack tightly in a canning jar, cover with water and seal. Submerge in the water bath.....

Looks good, but looks like lamb loin rather than tenderloin.

It's a Washington Post article, what do you expect? The referenced research is interesting.

"The takeaway is that part of what makes Indian food so appealing is the way flavors rub up against each other. The cuisine is complicated, no doubt: the average Indian dish, after all, contains at least 7 ingredients, and the total number of ingredients observed by the researchers amounted to almost 200 out of the roughly 381 observed around the world. But all those ingredients — and the spices especially — are all uniquely important because in any single dish, each one brings a unique flavor." http://www.washingtonpost.com/blogs/wonkblog/wp/2015/03/03/a-scientific-explanation-of-what-makes-indian-food-so-delicious/

Yeah, 180 to 190 degrees.

Snack time! Black olives stuffed with anchovies....and a beer! MMMmmmmmmmmmm!!!!!!

Fireplace or campfire....the best toast...by far!

Tempting but the price of seed is crazy..... http://www.johnnyseeds.com/c-958-flower-sprouts.aspx#

FWIW, I read somewhere some time ago (can't remember where) that the multiple blanchings are to not only mute the pungency of the garlic but also increase it's sweetness and nuttiness without over-cooking.

Interesting article. I know one thing for sure, If I had a life-threatening food allergy I sure as heck wouldn't depend on busy restaurant or bar staff to protect me. Even if they claim to be accommodating, people make mistakes. This demands personal responsibility!
