My copy is in...too many other things to read first.

I love English muffins and I really, really want to try these. My excuse is I don't have the right sized cutter. The Modernist Bread English muffin recipe is one of the reasons I purchased my dear DeLonghi griddle. Somehow I can't help remembering though, years ago, someone from England telling me English muffins do not exist in England. Anyhow Chris, you should be banned for pornography with that butter.

I ordered some myself. However it's Modernist Pantry.

Why are the lower tiers light brown? Dare I say gravy color? (Please note I have never seen a real life chocolate fountain.)

@Smithy shallots here are comparatively rather small. Pretty sure I have one in the bedroom but I don't feel like getting up to take a photograph. The shallots sold here are produce of France. Where do yours come from? I despise navel oranges. I just had a bag of navels rot and molder. And not for the first time. I love Valencia oranges but the local Shoprite almost never carries them.

You don't like blueberries?

@emmeyekayeee I have had good results from this Japanese beef broth recipe: https://umamimart.com/blogs/main/japanese-curry-scratch The broth as shown is the basis for a curry but it is very flavorful on its own.

Reminds me of the $3 per shrimp I used to be able to buy from amazon. Expensive, but wow were they good. I had always wanted to try the scallops. Sadly the service was discontinued first.

Dinner for a wintry work night: Leftover chicken cacciatore over linguine. Capers. Wine.

I thought that was Mexican.

There is something else? (Except for canned bacon of course.)

I'd love another Watanabe but I can't decide what. I seldom butcher octopus.

Pictures or it didn't happen.

Is there something about North American nuts that evokes a pejorative response? By the way those butter cookies look much like the ubiquitous tins of Christmas butter cookies we get here each year from Denmark. Perhaps not much to write home about, but as my son might say, not half bad at all. Particularly with a glass of milk.

What? No amazon prime in the desert? http://amzn.com/B006POH22Y This is the asafetida I have.

Done!

I shall never again leave a very sharp pointed meat carving knife where I can back up into it.

At work today someone brought in a bag of lucky candies. It will be lucky if there are any left tomorrow.

Small world. On my pile I too have Madhur Jaffrey's Vegetarian Indian from the library. Currently reading my most recent score: Emily Hahn's Time-Life The Cooking of China.

39 minutes? How many seconds?

That is beautiful! I have to ask: what is the salmon being served on?

My point exactly. Thing is I have only a lime and a half left and the grocery store is so very far away. Come to think of it the Wray and Nephew is a little low as well.

Tonight I have a cold. I cannot taste my mai tai. I believe I may be beginning to feel it though. Need more vitamin C.

Ironworks? For barrel hoops?

Beats me, but I don't have much choice of where I plug things in.
