Is there any mention in Modernist Bread of Georgian cheese breads, khachapuri? Or other Georgian breads? The index is no help, and I confess I have not finished reading MB cover to cover.* *or more properly, covers to covers.

I don't see any way to purchase it?

For mine I use dried aji amarillo rather than paste. Also aji panca and serrano peppers. Lots of cilantro. Mayonnaise and sour cream. Garlic, lime juice, and vinegar. I don't measure.

Georgian Tabaka from Tiko Tuskadze's Supra (p140). She says when she was little she ate Tabaka almost every day and recently I find myself not far behind. Served, perhaps less traditionally, with Peruvian aji amarillo sauce and tater tots. Accompanied by Vietnamese stir-fried green beans from The Slanted Door: Chartreuse Green V.E.P. as the digestive. Edit: from The Slanted Door cookbook -- I'm a bit far from San Francisco for takeout.

I bit my hand tonight. Methode rotuts tends to do this.

Count your blessings. I have Shoprite.

Long ago I learned to trust Burpee to ship my plants at more or less the right time.

I've never been in a Walmart, but then I've only been in WF twice. Whole Foods was pretty. I bought a lovely feather duster that I've used often for years. And bulk chocolate that was inedible.

Yet it looks like poached chicken?

Eschew modernist carrot soup -- at least modernist carrot soup slavishly following the preparation pictures in the book. No one in their right mind with all their digits slices carrots lengthwise. Once my thumb had healed I devised a safer method of coring carrots. And since this is the cooking forum I shall share: wash and/or peel carrots according to your preference. Then with a vegetable peeler remove strips (of carrot not of thumb) till you reach the core. Discard core. Proceed with soup.

Mine was simpler: bib lettuce, avocado, can of tuna, Hellman's. Lime juice and bread.

For hand towels I prefer cotton. Fortunately, here the bathroom is right next to the kitchen.

Sorry if I don't have a tea towel to prove it, but according to 23andme.com I am 4% Neanderthal. The good news is I am 96% human. And for what it's worth my kitchen towels are linen.

I'd love to hear how well the steam function works...and I wish they offered a less expensive model without the microwave. What is the maximum temperature the Panasonic can cook with steam? (For those who don't know the CSO can steam bake at 450 deg F, 232 deg C.)

Facing the prospect of an avocado myself for dinner, I cannot envision exactly what this is? Google took me to the restaurant. My plan is avocado and tuna, which sort of looks like what this is.

Yet the specifications claim "Simultaneous Combination Cooking".

Seems Best Buy Canada doesn't ship to the US. Otherwise I think my friend would have gone for it. My other friend who recently bought her CSO from Canada complains that wonderful though it is the CSO is too small. Another reason the Panasonic might be nice if it were not vaporware.

Japanese curry... Previously unused picture from the same batch a few nights ago. Sorry. Found a bottle of sake in the refrigerator. Yes, I know it is coothless to serve sake with rice, but I claim my right as a barbarian. Besides, I have a seldom used sake cup (old picture):

I think the variability of the CSO is because amazon itself is out of stock. I expect things shall soon return to normal.

What is expensive? At the moment the CSO is going for $553.65 on amazon US*. (Last week it was $220.) *with free shipping!!

Have you tested with a quarter sheet pan?

I was using a funnel. But not a funnel three feet across.

Do you have a floor or bed?
