Peas are planted. Now it's wait and see. Thanks to @rotuts I expect the police on my doorstep any day. I'm sure Alexa has already called them.

I figured it was store-bought, as is mine. Mine never looks so appetizing.
-
Those pictures really looked good though!
-
For how long?
-
Beautiful! There must be a secret to orecchiette I have not found. However tomorrow I might just buy some spinach.

Same. Though I have yet to open it.

Thank you. That's what I would like to know. I didn't think it was too bright to cook down tomatoes and garlic in a carbon steel, however that is what the recipe said to do. I'm in the process of re-seasoning. How do others work their sofrito? Next time whether it's traditional or not I plan to prepare the sofrito in stainless steel, then add the finished sofrito to the cooking rice. I have other recipes that do it that way.

I sort of meant to post the paella in the dinner thread but since it was around 4:00 am and after a liter of MR, I suppose breakfast was equally appropriate. There is a story to the clams. I wanted littleneck and amazon Prime Now had them, but the unit of measure was a "1". Not "each" (as it was for cherrystone). I took a chance and ordered. As it turns out "1" means 1 very large amount of clams. About five dozen. I am 1 person.

Sofrito stripped most of the seasoning though.

Having a new DARTO paella, paella...

Nice wood block though.

@rotuts the smart plug will do all sorts of schedules but I am happy to let the Click and Grow control itself: 16 hours on, 8 hours off. I just needed a way to turn the Click and Grow on at the proper time to get the schedule started. Still, "Alexa, turn on the grow light!" has a certain ring to it. The DARTO pans are on the second shelf under the Click and Grow. I couldn't figure any other place to put them. The peel, which is about four foot long, is hanging at the far end of the Click and Grow. Don't worry, I saved six spaces for the peas.

My guess is there is too little dough for the size of the bowl. I use a KitchenAid 5 quart bowl and for best results I have to scale up the MB recipes. Since that results in too much bread, often as not I make do and suffer.

Here is my setup. Were it a telescope this morning was first light: Pizza peel and DARTO pans shown, umm, for scale. Peas seeds have not come. I started three basil pods last night. A feature of the Click and Grow is that the 16 hour light cycle begins from the time one plugs the unit in. I wanted the cycle to start just after sunrise. That means I would have to remove my bod from bed just after sunrise. I planned to set my alarm for 7:30 but I was sure there must be another way. I remembered I had a smart plug purchased a couple years ago for $5 as part of an amazon promotion. I had never used it. Just a few hours later and I was sitting down with my mai tai long after most revelers had gone to bed. Why choose the easy way when you can ask Alexa? So far, so good. The light turned on as promised. Now waiting for the seeds to sprout. One thing I haven't figured out is how to tell when to add more water?

It depends on whose standard.

Yes, and it's not necessarily a bad thing. Chickpea juice, if I may call it that, can be whipped like egg whites, sort of. As much as I like dried beans, canned beans are not the devil. Many a time I have given thanks for finding a can of beans in the bedroom.

That is the kind of friend to have,

A favored oozing Brie type cheese of mine is Pierre Robert: https://culturecheesemag.com/cheese-library/Pierre-Robert Every other Brie I've bought is plastic. Pierre Robert is ripe in every sense of the word. Pierre might come up if you asked me to name my favorite cheese. But then again there's Parmigiano-Reggiano.

Do the gel drops have water?

Don't know how to phrase this. Last night I searched for a small brush that I intended to use for scrubbing a few clams. This is not a brush I use often. I searched through the kitchen drawers and cabinets, the bedroom and then the living room. And then I searched again. Then again is less likely locations. Tonight I found it! Sitting out in plain sight on the Boos kitchen cart.

Beautiful food. But I must say I thought a Wellington was what one ate when trapped in pack ice searching for the Northwest Passage, after all of one's toes were frozen off.

Ten coats of seasoning. Note slight ding in rim of largest pan. Edit: now where can I store them?

My Polyscience has a cycle for holding vacuum.

I thought @chanjying meant the bag sealing function.
