    if you do this again , tryn a little more RB40

     

    the flavor of the finished steak is different than w/o

     

    for me in a good way.

     

    can't really say what that flavor is   certainly not fishy nor salty.

     

     

     

    I would love to see a cost/benefit analysis between Prime Now/WF DAS and RB40.  My money (or in this case American tax payers' money) is on the DAS.

     

    Your tax dollars at work.

    When I was first away from home, I had a great time cooking. I think I owned a few cookbooks, however, I've always liked to ad lib. At one point I realized that all my food ended up the same: some version of tomato-based pudding or stew. So then I bought Joy of Cooking and carefully followed the recipes. (I sometimes reference JoC, in part because I know where things are, or at least, that they exist).

     

    When I got married, I got two versions of Julia Child's How to Cook. It never got the same treatment JoC got though.

     

    Now I have a bookcase of cookbooks. Which I read for entertainment.

     

    When I'm trying something new, I peruse my book shelves and online, and collect a thrice or two of recipes. But I usually close all the books before I start cooking (except baking). My B-I-L, a good cook, is horrified by the idea! Works for me though.

     

     

    When I was in collage and cooking for myself and others I used a lot of MSG and green food coloring.

    I also hold the apron with the back facing me.  I hold the straps where they cross in the back and put my head through into the opening in front of that cross, then stick my arms through the sides. I feel like I need to make a video as it's easy to do but hard to describe!

     

    You are a genius!  Tonight it took me only seconds!  (Don't know yet if the success is repeatable.)

    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.

  5. 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.

    Jamie Oliver has a 5 ingredient meal show. Today included a pesto chicken puff pastry thing. I left out the green beans, so it was 4 ingredients, but I added-in garlic-mustard leaves. It really needed added garlic and salt, so I did that. It was fine. Not great, but perfectly OK. The puff pastry added a mild "wow" factor, but didn't really add to the flavor. 

     

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