Thanks, last night was an early dinner. More typically I eat between midnight and 2:00 am.

Chicken cacciatore: Not leftovers. I know it has been only a couple days, but I do love it so. Bread and Boursin not shown.

I'd call amazon and ask, but so far I've not spoken with a tech support person who has ever seen an Echo -- or so it would appear.

That was one wonderful review! I should so much like to eat there. Once I was once in St. Louis for a conference in the 1980's (dinner was not memorable, probably OK) but the odds of my returning there are approximately between none and zero, as they say. What I picked up on is that the tips are included in the price. Having to tip is one reason why I don't eat out.

With regard to Alexa setting a timer: is there any way to control how long she makes the timer completion sound (without having to ask her explicitly to stop)?

Forgive the insult to anyone's food culture or ethnicity: Lobio, Georgian beans, served with broccoli rabe. Anyhow it worked. Bread not shown. Unfortunately I finished neither the lobio nor the broccoli rabe.

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.

39 minutes? How many seconds?
