I miss the lovely rosemary smell and the pretty little flowers. What herbs, I wonder, would do best in pots inside in winter. I have a south facing glass door.

Last spring I dropped and broke Rosemary's pot on the dining room floor while I was carrying her outside. I still have salt preserved sage from last year so I didn't try to bring my sage bush in. I confess to looking at an oregano plant at the store earlier this week.

Dribble glasses are popular in some circles.

With the tablecloth set on fire to provide illumination. Actually I once experienced a tablecloth set on fire in a restaurant. The late Serrano in Philadelphia. Though I don't think that is quite why the restaurant closed. I wanted to yell "Fire!" but I had aphasia and could only wave my arms and point. Memorable meal.

And I note the Falk 16cm Signature Line Mousseline (the one with the tacky if overly practical stainless steel handle) is less than half price. A good deal in my book. But I've ne'er assayed a sauce Mousseline in my existence and I can't get past the ugly, ugly handle. In contrast I am weeping for the Classic wrought iron handled 16cm Mousseline at 30% off and may yet cave.

How is someone like me going to read this small menu?

Never having been to Japan I am surprised how much signage is in English.

I seldom dine in restaurants (fine or otherwise) but seriously I can't remember ever being served wine in a glass without a stem.

Celery.

I suppose one could imbibe one's MR right from the pressure vessel if it hadn't been in the freezer long and if one's lips didn't mind the threads...but I am of the school a wine glass should have a proper stem.

I have been remiss in changing the filters. Now after more than 4 months the double filtered water is 34 mg/L. At the start of the experiment the double filtered water was 2 mg/L.

Falk USA has 30 percent off through 11/24.

Naw, she worked our adult reference desk for I recall seventeen years. She does not take her holds lightly. But she is my neighbor so maybe I could steal it from her house. Unfortunately we tend to read the same books.

I say shoot the messenger.

Can-can looks like a knock off of the Hamilton Beach 932.

Most recently I have been favoring Oomda. Non-homogenized Halal whole milk yogurt. Good stuff. Once you get past the "CONTAINS MILK" warning.

Menu on a box?

Tonight I confessed my addiction to my boss. "May I remind you where you work?" gently she chastised.

Here I cook and dine alone. You can always share your success and failure on eGullet, and find good company.

I never even thought to try! Next time for sure.

Had I seen this first it would have saved me writing down the information...

I've been waiting and waiting to get a copy. A friend has Simple sitting on our hold shelf. I hate her.

Soaked it over night in the sink and it cleaned right up. I probably should have used parchment though.

No but she was serious, she liked it! Limited selection and high prices but easy to use interface and good delivery. This afternoon when I'm back inside the paywall I'll try to take another look.

Last night's dinner: Whole Roasted Branzino from the CSO Recipe Booklet. A favorite dish of mine. Citrus and fennel, herbs and shallots, garlic and Piment d'Espelette.
