I read today that a 1000 year egg has been found in Israel. No tea leaves were harmed in its preservation. Chickens apparently were introduced to the Middle East by Romans. The yolk is being saved for DNA analysis.

I've tried reheating tortillas with steam but my memory is they got unpleasantly tacky. Deep frying for me worked better.

I'm envious. This is what I wanted night before last. But I couldn't summon the energy to chop the salsa or press the tortillas. Besides, my avocado wasn't ripe. At least my Rancho Gordo Moro beans were good.

I keep vacuum sealed pasteurized proteins in the refrigerator for a few weeks. Even I would worry after "a few months".

I bought 1.1 kg of Blue Diamond Smokehouse Almonds for $1.38. The sad part, having nothing to do with Prime Day or food, I ordered a limited edition Roy Andersson blu-ray collection from amazon UK. But I got free shipping! And then King Arthur Flour Baking offered me 10 percent off their stuff.

(eg. delivery from Whole Foods.)

I am of the conspiracy school that believes Milton's original shipment of European powdered milk was spoiled in trans Atlantic transit, and the initial rancid flavor that Hershey consumers expected had to be reproduced. The baby vomit I could almost get by. My problem with Hershey is I have never seen a Hershey bar in temper. Chocolate is not supposed to leave fingerprints and bend.

Amazon Prime Now.

I am a failure. I had a beautiful avocado so I decided to make tacos. I got out the tortilla press. I put on a pot of Rancho Gordo Moro beans. I needed serrano peppers for my salsa so I placed an order with Whole Foods. Long about 9:30 I realized tacos were not about to happen. It looked like dinner would be a second mai tai. But I'd included some ground beef in the shipment from Whole Foods. What could be faster than a Kenji smashburger? So smashburger it was, with frozen fries and a lovely salad. Smashburger and fries were excellent. Sadly for the salad the romaine had frozen in the refrigerator. The tomatoes were unripe. And the avocado too hard to eat.

My hands don't go in the dishwasher.

That's about the size of my milkshake cups. I got them on amazon. Probably not a good match for your needs.

I worry about a lot of things.

I've heard that said of Scotch.

I use a milkshake cup. Bamix makes a stand: (eG-friendly Amazon.com link)

At least for my Zojirushi the manual suggests adding a tablespoon of water per bowl of rice before reheating. That is after having used the keep warm functions. I had not been doing this. I also saw that Zojirushi recommends holding rice longer than 12 hours only if you have a pressure model rice cooker (as I do). My Zojirushi is supposed to hold leftover rice up to 24 hours. I noticed my model, NP-NVC18, has been discontinued and replaced by the NP-NWC18. The new version allows greater control over keep warm temperatures. Even so, I've held leftover rice in the Zojirushi longer than 24 hours and found it perfectly OK in terms of taste and texture. How long leftover rice is safe is an entirely different question.

$9.12 US dollars per kg.

$9.12/kg.

Often as not it takes two Shoprite or Whole Foods limes to make a mai tai. Three have been known to happen. Thankful that tonight was one and a half.

Eggs are eggs. The last time I served caviar was dinner for a (relatively) recent coworker and his wife and daughter. The daughter was about the age of my young sons, and they liked each other, having met before at their house. Her parents refused to taste the caviar (best caviar the provincial town of Princeton had on offer), so of course she didn't either. Because she wouldn't, neither would my sons. There may also have been oysters. They didn't fly far either. Wine was grand cru Chablis.

I can only compare this to @blue_dolphin's popsicles.

The only time I have found my Zojirushi next day rice to be somewhat dried out is if I try to keep just a couple tablespoons. Still eatable, however. Other than that -- more than day old rice is comparable to freshly made. The Zojirushi has a seal because it is a pressure cooker.

I'm still using FTP over WiFi to transfer pictures from my Sony to my Windows 10 computer. Works great for me.

Does the reheated rice really have as good a texture and flavor as rice held at temperature in the Zojirushi?

@blue_dolphin could you share your camera technique for this shot from the breakfast thread?
