	Not sure why some nights I have a two and a half minute pizza and some nights a two and a half minute mess on the oven floor. This was a two and a half minute pizza.

	Cream of Wheat, I reckoned, was splendid occasion for my new pinafore. Being errant Cream of Wheat can burn like napalm. (And I did burn my tongue but that is another essay.) Anyhow -- there must be a deterministic method for putting on the apron. Really. Has anyone solved the puzzle? I spend several minutes before the mirror, or perchance more than several, placing my arms in random places. Often as not with results that would baffle Houdini. Even if I eventually get the apron on, it is not clear how I do it. I almost wish I had chosen a more traditional kitchen garment.

	My outdoor peas just germinated! They were not there last night.

	Puff pastry isn't flour, salt, butter, lard, and water?

	This week's bread. Yes, I was wearing my new Rough Linen apron. It worked! The flour I spilled went down my jeans and moccasins. Not a speck despoiled the pinafore.

	Is some degree of browning really burnt?
- 
	I'm guessing if the milk were really burnt you wouldn't like it. Nor would Migoya. Disclaimer, I've read the book but don't recall the recipe. Is it like dulce de leche?

	Good stuff and attractive site. I went down the rabbit hole a while.

	I have a new beechwood pestle for use with my chinois. I am unsure whether to oil the pestle or not. Suggestions?

	Yes, I had seen that article but I didn't find it helpful.

	Chicken Tetrazzini. Not my best but it got the job done.

	Baking with Myhrvold's "Modernist Bread: The Art and Science"JoNorvelleWalker replied to a topic in Pastry & Baking Chris, what does "KM" mean?

	While I was enjoying my evening shower I had a thought: what about baking the soil capsules? Or as Click & Grow calls them, Experimental Plant Pods? There are no dead roots. This is something close to synthetic soil formed to a frustrated cone. What time/temperature destroys fungi responsible for damping off of seedlings? Note we are talking about only a couple cubic inches of "soil". My most recent pea seedlings were overwhelmed and destroyed by a white fungus. As far as I can tell the pea plants turning brown was a different problem, which I believe was heat.
- 
	If I wanted to safely sanitize the soil capsules for my Click & Grow, is there a way to do it?
- 
	Several of us could divide up the platter and it would make a tasty meal.

	At my age I don't have to justify my dinner: a pot of Rancho Gordo Moro beans* enlivened with what @rotuts would denominate DAS. Georgian walnut sauce (because I can), coleslaw, and hexapartite tomatoes. Bottle of John Wurdeman's Pheasant's Tears Saperavi 2008. It all came together. *spoiler alert: there are no Moro beans in this month's Bean Club shipment. Edit: oh, and I forgot, a bag of Cape Cod potato chips.

	I'd give it two "likes" if you scraped off the cauliflower.
- 
	You're joking. Right?
- 
	I sort of lied. I found seven grains while cleaning out the rice cooker. But I guess that is still "accounted for".
