TicTac

Precisely. As long as its immediate family, chances are you are sharing glasses, food, and sufficient microbial particles are being exchanged through said interactions; a rolling boil would put any weaklings mind at ease to kill those whee (super scary!) beasties.

@Kim Shook - it is haiga rice. Great idea on the roasted cauliflower though, it would have taken the yolk quite nicely too. My kids however; are rice fiends.

Just found a local spot that sells replacement parts. $95 to replace the bowl...!

They went downhill big time during the last takeover when they did a major overhaul on their UI. Site moderation became far too Stalin-esque and pushed many away. Certainly an opportunity for EG to recruit a larger audience as many are scrambling as to 'where to go now' - some folks have posted about some Onion site....surely EG should be an option!

We have been very cautious with the bowl, but it is starting to scratch a bit and a few flakes peeled off. Curious if anyone is aware of a source to replace the bowls? I believe we have a 10cup version...

Sadly (but not) I only thought to take a pic on the last bone of said rack of ribs. But clearly the meat called out to me and wanted to be remembered in some glorious fashion…so without further adieu - dry rub bite shot, ‘better late than never’:

Creepy 🤣

Too yellow to be Meyer. Needs more of an orange tinge. My guess, at least 😛 Oh - @Duvel - that lasg looks epic, btw!

Was gifted a dozen huge, fresh duck eggs. Apparently there is such an abundance they feed some of the eggs back to the ducks. The yolks when broken are almost firm and mailable in texture. So rich - unreal. Could nearly not finish the second!

You may have just exceeded your monthly quota of fries @Shelby 😛

But it is used to make stock? When you said you kept it next to your marmite, I was wondering if you spread this on toast as well...lol.

Is this akin to a stock cube in paste form?

Maybe I missed it - negative press around gas ranges!? I would not trade in my gas range (wolf in this iteration) for all the ranges in China!

Nailed it.

Agreed. Ready to cook - perhaps....ready to eat; doubtful! Save it for stock.

My grandfather always told me stories of a buddy of his at hunt camp that would put ketchup in his coffee. Not sure if it was true, or if he was just trying to gross me out - either way, he sure got a kick out of our reactions. Garlic bread with pasta....oy.

I am not scientist (though @Duvel appears to be!) - but this logic does equate. Does ice that is perfectly round and clear make for a tastier drink (because that is what all the cool kids are doing these days!) 😛

We were invited to a restaurant by a client of mine to celebrate a very large project last summer. It was during a lull in COVID and we were under the impression it was outdoors on a patio - not so for a 'large' party of 6. After much grumbling and deliberation we decided to chance it and ate indoors (there were maybe 15-20 other diners many feet away and they had a large overhead door open to the patio). Everything was fine, but have not ventured out since. With a 4 year old who cannot get her vax yet and a 97 year old grandmother, I am just not willing to chance it. We do order in every couple weeks but that to me at least, is fairly low risk given the airborne transitive nature of the beast. COVID anxiety is a real thing though.

Love community gardens. I have seen a few pop up under the electrical tower fields here (do they benefit from the constant buzz/hum!?) as well as a local one behind a church. At one point I thought about joining the local one (our back yard faces North and has tons of trees due to the ravine) - but then I just said fuck it and built a huge garden on my front lawn (plan is to get rid of all the grass eventually - devilish creation!). The neighbors seem to like to pause on their walks and converse while observing it evolve. I simply love being able to share produce (especially seeds!) with interested parties.

Second attempt at a frittata spinach/mushroom/leftover corn/potato filling - bit of aged white cheddar and crushed crunchy leftover taco shells. Great platform for dumping leftovers into; evidently

Great photos - especially those waterfalls (I am a sucker for flowing water!) - unreal, those rock formations behind them!! Thank you again for sharing.

Sounds like we bake similar pita's.....

Beef bourg; topped with fantastic maitake and organic shiitakes; from Costco of all places…! nice burgundy

Thank you for sharing and welcome! Would love to see more photos of the property and gardens. Chocolate is nice and all, but let's have at those tomatoes!!!

I thought one of the 'perks' of condo-living was not having to shovel!?
