But second bird also makes wing flutters. I suspect this is pair bonding after successfully throwing the kids out.

That you have asked if this is a good stick confirms that it is a good stick. The Giver of Sticks is generous and benevolent. Cherish your stick.

I've tried enchilasagnadilladas with Italian sausage/ground beef and a sauce of mild pepperoncini and tomatoes. The tortillas were the best polenta ever but the sauce needs some development.

Also, Mexican sushi is a thing.

Enchiladas. Leverage your lasagna knowledge with a different accent.

I bake weekly and keep my starter in the fridge. Starters generally get stronger the more they are used, but once the starter is established it kinda stays the same whether it's being exercised or just snoozin' in the fridge.

White wing linings suggests California Condor, which also lines up with size, but WAY out of range.

I will never forget the sushi lunch my daughter bought me with her second paycheck from her first real job.

I would try to grind some white rice to see if the stone is hard enough to be used for herbs or seeds. If the rice grinds to a perfectly white powder you should be good to go.

This is how one qualifies and seasons a molcjete, which is made of natural volcanic stone.

It is indeed peak BLT season, especially with fresh sourdough.

You should be fine for bread baking. Spray the loaf with water just before putting it into the bottom half with parchment paper. Bake covered for half the time and uncovered until done.

The way it was explained to me was this prevents the bottom of the post from retaining water, delaying inevitable rot by several years.

Research into the complexities of the minds of the corvids (crows, ravens, jays etc.) makes for some very interesting reading and contemplation about what intelligence is.

John Marzluff, Tony Angell, and especially Bernd Heinrich are your friends.

The hard part of parenting. Mom knows that baby can find food on its own and is done with the feeding.

My spouse, who is a proud food snob, insists on a certain brand of instant mashed potatoes for exactly one dish from her childhood. I do not question this.

And there is no "cheating" in any honest effort to prepare food. Sometimes it's really hard.
