His choice. As was mine to ship his book back to amazon.

I was making a judgement.

Thank you, thank you! I'd been wondering the same thing myself. The last horseradish I bought eventually went soft and spoiled. Cookbook authors cheerfully call out for "prepared horseradish" but they never share a clue how to actually prepare it.

@Ann_T how I wish I could make fish and chips like yours! Though, dare I say so myself, I can make a damn fine mai tai.

Oh, oh how I understand! Though to my sorrow, as I learned tonight -- with dinner ingredients, not every tomorrow is another day.

Still tired from the shot, though unlike the night before I didn’t not have my mai tai. Tuna salad, romaine, radishes Ankarsrum sliced. Bread and wine not shown. Hope tonight I can actually get some cooking done.

I haven't asked yet, thanks for reminding me.

If they were corn tortillas, I'd say you need to deep fry them. At least that's what I do: Old picture but now I am hungry for tacos. I've never tried to make tacos out of wheat tortillas. Nor have I ever seen wheat tortilla tacos in a restaurant. But then, please forgive, I am in New Jersey.

You convinced me for pasta for dinner.

Not only are Chinese restaurateurs robbing graves, Liberian sea cucumber divers are facing privation and hard times. The Asian export market for sea cucumbers has dried up because of covid, and west Africans won't touch the stuff. When they ran out of money for food and designer shoes, the Liberian divers were forced to come up with sea cucumber recipes and actually eat sea cucumbers themselves. So far no one is convinced. "The divers claim that those who ate the echinoderms were startled by the aphrodisiac effect -- and fisherfolk never exaggerate." In news of Norwegian cuisine, cod tongues traditionally harvested by young children are criticized for exploitation of child labor. A recent documentary showed Norwegian youngsters toiling in blood-spattered oilskins. However an hour's work can earn $143* "not bad if you're six," says The Economist. By way of social progress the cod tongue industry was previously dominated by boys. Now it is open to girls. Frugal Norwegian children are said to be saving up for a fishing boat, a car, or a home. *no decimal point in there.

NJ -- mostly skinny, depends on brand.

Finish eating all the peanuts at the computer before carrying the empty bowl back to the kitchen. Usually works.

This is the heading of an article in The Economist reporting restaurant grave robbing. "By day Mr Wei sold pancakes in Shaanxi, a northern province. By night he led a gang of grave robbers who tunneled under an ancient temple near his shop." His success was such he and his business partners opened a chain of restaurants near other shrines and pagodas.

I shall never again spill peanuts in the dining room.

Thanks. Get well! Good it was. My previous pizza a couple weeks ago was a disaster. Most of the dough stuck on the peel. Everything else incinerated. My boss insisted I take a sick day, since I'm recovering from my second Moderna shot. Around 6 pm I went to bed and slept for an hour and a half. I was shaking and tired, but had no fever. Tonight's dinner may be chicken cacciatore, or it might be more peanuts.

90 seconds of goodness.

I'll be happy when I see you safely home again. Were I you I'd kiss the ground and stay there.

My one experience with powdered egg whites was pretty vile.

For baking a cake I'd be inclined to use only bottom heat, no fan. (And use the strips as @chromedome suggested.)

Edit: wine.

I learned something. The APO lets me adjust cooking parameters on the fly, without turning off the oven first. Some may be laughing, but my big GE oven doesn't let me change settings without cancelling the cooking first. Nor does the CSO. (Or at least if it does I don't know how.)

Looking forward to your output.

I keep two types of peanut oil on hand: less refined and lower smoke point for when I want peanut flavor, and more refined with higher smoke point and essentially no flavor for stirfries and deep frying.

You stole my reply.
