snagged a couple slabs of BB ribs @ Caputos yesterday, $3.99/lb. Damn Super H mart had em for $2.99 (3 packs for about $20). These are for x-mas day. Cant resist smoking some meat today, so I am doing a meatloaf on the GOSM(Chuck, and either ground lamb, or pork in the mix).

Thanks all. I ate at home yesterday because my beloved Chinese didn't answer when I called. I felt like I didn't have much to choose from, but there was leftover Chinese white rice. I had farm eggs, artichoke hearts in the freezer, onions, fresh ginger root, & a mix vegetable of farm-fresh cauliflower with edamame. Yep, it was fried rice time. Very, very nice. Yes, we are 1 of those w/ pantries, freezer, & fridge full...

Latest oatmeal revelation: scant teaspoon of pomegranate molasses with half a handful of Iranian pistachios in 1 cup of oatmeal. Extraordinary. I'll take a picture next time.

Perhaps a little of that, or perhaps just someone who wasn't ready to expand as quickly as he attempted to. Here's the long story that the Blue Marble owner had to share about the situation.

Hi, My jelly roll pans came via rummage sales. Last week at the cookie exchange, pastry chef justjoan commented she always doubles up on her cookie sheets to maintain even temperature. Whatever jelly roll pan you acquire, you may want to apply this idea: a cookie sheet underneath the jelly roll pan to maintain even temperature. justjoan said it saves her the grief of burnt cookies. Regards,

If I'm on my own, I find myself opening cans a lot. My version of salade nicoise is a common lunch; today I didn't feel up to it and just mixed tuna with kimchi I had in the fridge. Homemade hummos and pita chips is another one I do a lot (or bean dip; something about dips at lunchtime...)

Thanks for the home brew supply place tip! I thought about overnight shipping but just can't justify the cost to mess around with on Saturday. Our guests would be willing & appreciative guinea pigs but if I have to wait, not a big deal.

I haven't - I'm not much of a city ham kind of guy (hence my recommendation). One other thing just came to mind: If you go to any of the local farmers markets, it might be worth asking some of the pork folks if they offer city hams. I usually look right past them, but it's pretty common in my experience for them to offer them (uncured hams aren't very saleable and country hams take a lot of work, experience, controlled...

Tzatziki!... seeded and chopped or minced cucumber, garlic, salt, good olive oil and an herb... dill is nice, so too fresh oregano and, very much to my liking, mint... Eat the tzatziki with some fresh warm pita alongside some olives as a meze ... or use it as a sauce with grilled (or fried or roasted) meats... The Fage yoghurt's thick and rich qualities make it, to my mind, ideal for this application -- it has the character to stand up to...
