Midlife

Sorry. I’m a bit lost. Taking a few pics will accomplish what toward prepping the TJs’ chile rellenos at home?

Rotuts, thanks for ‘taking one for the team with the CRs. I’ll try the air fryer>400° method soon. OTOH, I just had a restaurant CR a few days ago and that much batter on the TJs is certainly not how they did it. Hopefully max crispness will help as an alternative solution.

Hmmmm. I’ve been seeing these on line and felt as if these would be a hard NO. I feel the same way about cold leftover fries with dry ketchup. OTOH, you at the who bag in one sitting, so…… maybe.

I’ve never seen anything like that here and the size is almost intimidating. I’d need a much larger refrigerator!! 😜

How are these different from the scallions (green onions) that are ubiquitous in the US? Google says larger, but they don’t look larger than most I buy. Flavor differences?

Makes ketchup on hotdogs look gourmet. 🙄

I’ll have to give the Chiles Rellenos another try. I tried them a couple of months ago and, although the flavor was good, I found the coating to be overpowering (as in 75% coating, 25% pepper and cheese). Maybe I’ll use the air fryer on them as well.

I walk daily and pass a house where someone sets out gallon bottles to make what I’d call ‘sun tea’ (tea bags in water, sitting in the sun). I’m pretty sure this is left out much of the day, and I see it a few times a week, so I’m going to conclude it hasn’t harmed its maker.

I got an Anova Pro for Christmas and was turned off that they DO now charge for the app. It’s US$9.99/year, but the Pro can be controlled directly on the unit without the app. I sprung for the app because that’s pretty cheap and I’m lazy and because it does give you access to cooking info (though I think the Joule’s app is much better for that).

‘Technically’ yes, but that wouldn’t make very much starter. You don’t need a whole lot but you do need more than that.

My local store says the Bleu Cheese Potato Chips were a seasonal item only and will not be back. There was some degree of internet mixed reaction to these, but I became addicted. Gonna need some counseling.

Just paid US$2.99 for a dozen large white eggs here in SoCal. Prices seem to be all over the place. Must be regional as supply has been affected.

Read this book recently. It, and the octopus documentary mentioned above, kinda made me take octopus off my food list. https://www.thornwellbooks.com/book-reviews/remarkably-beautiful-creatures/

Spicetrekkers appears to be in Canada and I’m in the US. Not sure about how buying from them would work.
