@PedroG, so good to hear from you!

Hello, you too @mmoorree. Welcome!

Thanks, again, for taking us on this lovely trip. I never open your posts unless I have time for a good, long look.

@liuzhou, best wishes to you.

My second best pizza is shrimp halves, whole sage leaves, fresh goat cheese, small amount of grated Parmesan Reggiano. 6 minutes.

@Kim Shook and @CookBot could you please provide recipe or instructions or photo to explain this "internal hack" for cinnamon rolls?

Hello @Maistoprofas. Looking forward to learning more about you. Welcome.

Oh, gumbo. Yum! Looking forward to finding out how you make gumbo. 😄

I have a 2 roll DYMO label printer (from my old office). One of the rolls is filled with 2-up file folder labels. Nowadays it takes much less time to type and print a label than write one. And a godsend if multiple labels are required. With an added benefit of being able to write very specific info about the contents.

Hello @Ralf Pi. I too am interested in Brazilian cuisine, so shall be very interested in your posts. The folk here are quite friendly. Welcome!

Hello @cookbot, I shall be interested to hear your discoveries and thoughts about restaurant v.s. private cooking. Also, perhaps in the future you might treat us to a close desription of one of your meals. Lots of folk here are very friendly. You're sure to soon meet some fast friends. Welcome to eG!

"Like the “Holocaust Survivor Cookbook,” released by Israel’s Yad Vashem Holocaust authority in 2007, “Honey Cake & Latkes” is more than a collection of recipes. It also contains inspiring stories from the survivors as well as archival and contemporary photographs showing their resilience." This references two cookbooks, one just published. “Honey Cake & Latkes” was started ("took root") in 2020.

(JTA) — Eugene Ginter was 12 days shy of his sixth birthday when he was liberated from Auschwitz in January 1945. Emaciated and alone, Ginter landed first in a hospital and then in an orphanage in Krakow, the Polish city where he was born. Several months later, miraculously, he was reunited with his mother. Her first order of business was to help him regain weight and health, but he had no interest in food after being deprived of it for so long. So she created a rich sandwich made of things she knew he liked: black bread thickly coated with butter and finished with grated dark chocolate. Eight decades later, that “Chocolate Sandwich” is the first recipe in “Honey Cake & Latkes: Recipes from the Old World by the Auschwitz-Birkenau Survivors,” a new cookbook that showcases recipes that connected survivors to the worlds they lost and gave them comfort as they built new lives after the Holocaust. https://www.jta.org/2022/08/30/food/food-was-a-comfort-for-auschwitz-survivors-a-new-cookbook-showcases-their-recipes-and-resilience

I have been using ginger cookies in place of graham crackers. But the old standby ginger cookies have gone downhill too. Rats!

Jo, you know we all love you, right?

I have my mother's Mrs Beeton which was published IIRC in the early part of 20th Century (though I can't lay my hands on it at the moment. But I could track it down, if important). I've read parts of it many times but I don't think I've ever cooked from it directly.

Hello @Louisedk. Welcome to eG!

Yes, please!

@Annie_H, do you seed the tomatoes before roasting? Or freezing?

I have been roasting Italian eggplant à le Ottolenghi (for purée for a pizza) but I think he removes the seeds. So far, I haven't removed the seeds. Should I remove the seeds? (Seems to me a lot might get wasted)

Welcome to eGullet, Jeff. 🙂

Thanks muchly.

My house too. 😅

Citric acid. Fill up the dispenser with the powder. It's a trick to clean the dishwasher (told us by our appliance repairman). Every couple of months or so; you'll get to know. Followed by one full wash with no soap. Years of melted grease are trapped in the drain, etc. Now the inside of our dishwasher looks like a new dishwasher. An interesting byproduct is that we put those "filmy" wine glasses in at the same time. Filmy stuff is greatly reduced.
