I thought you were going to ask, "What time is dinner?"

Sweetie, granted I'm a shiksa from California but even I know that it ain't an egg cream with Hershey's syrup. Oatmilk, well, that's another stretch, but without Fox's U-Bet, it just ain't an egg cream. Maybe you call it frothy Hershey oatmilk?

"carnitas" tacos...were really fried up pork rillettes. Kissing cousins.

I used the cold oil method last night. Fries were CRISP and remained so to the last straw. 3/8" cut, BTW.

Gorgeous. Lobster should never get farther from the ocean than this.

You are eating so healthfully! And deliciously.

This reminds me of Oscar the Grouch. But sounds delicious!

Lasts night, peppers, then chicken Strogonoff with couscous Early dinner tonight, blistered shishitos and mushrooms, followed by bloody hamburger pucks, greens and frites

Thanks for this memory "bump up". Judy Rogers had such extraordinary taste and culinary imagination.

Friends have soda stream in their basement. Husband who drinks this water exclusively would love to have a kitchen spigot. My husband taunts by repeatedly suggesting that they bore through the marble countertops and indeed plumb in this delivery. Wife is not amused nor moved. Back down the basement stairs...

Lots of melamine bowls here.

As the only one in the house who eats yogurt, I regularly have containers on hand well past their "best by" date. If anything, they get more tart and dense. If at all discolored, I toss.

Just to get you started, of course you can make all sorts of "real" waffles, but I find that Bisquik made with milk, a spoon of white vinegar and of oil, even skipping the suggested egg, works sublimely and without fuss. And of course you can "waflle" all sorts of foods as described here on eG.

LOL, I am reminded of a young man who was]my assistant years ago. He came into work one morning fuming about his mother. "She is SO LAZY. Every morning for breakfast, waffles, waffles, waffles, every single day!" I told him I thought that waffles were in fact a breakfast only a very devoted mother would make on a regular basis. His answer, "Eggo???"

Husband enjoyed bacon and waffle, maple syrup and butter this morning. I don't do maple syrup, but that bacon fat with pan-crunchies called out to me. So, I fried up an egg in it to top my waffle. Voila! Waffle with runny egg and bacon fat drizzle, as sun streamed in the window.

@Kim Shook Our warmest thoughts, Kim. One is never ready for the passing of a parent. You were an extraordinary daughter.

Had to Google "fry-roast" jianju chicken, watched instruction, and will definitely make this. Thanks much for the nudge.

A shout out to scubadoo. Hang in and relax. A few years back, husband had double hernia surgery. Outpatient. We lived one long block from the hospital. After surgery, he was asked about his transportation home. He told them he was walking. NO WAY! YES, I am. So there was consultation and he was told, it you insist, and we don't recommend it, go NOW before your meds wear off. So he did. All good. and so you will be...

That chicken marsala verges on the obscene. But nicely so.

Droit du seigneur, non?
