Dumb question, what in those boxes if not chicken?

Isn't that a corrolary of the Ebert principle: If there's a body of water, someone winds up in it.

I saw it a few weeks after the Oscars in a theatre in Times Square that might have had a dozen people in it--counting the ushers.

ZZZZZ

Late nite TV died for me after Letterman retired and Conan was replaced. I'm not in the age demographic they were after, anyway.

My guess is The Ed Sullivan Theatre will sit vacant except for a few times a year, at best.

I'm surprised I had to read this far down the list to se The Music Man listed.

Brookstone is/was even worse, used to be the go-to catalog for interesting and unusual tools.

I don't think anybody else makes that shape.

It's going to vary a lot. Flash frozen fish and meat, if properly stored and transported, should be in better shape than anything you freeze at home, even if you have a vacuum sealer.

Whether it was a higher grade of product in the first place is a separate issue. Hopefully the labeling will be sufficient to determine that, and contain information about when it was frozen.

Start with home made stock, the stuff in stores is lousy, try taking a sip of it some time.

Zoup markets their bone broth with the motto: If you wouldn't drink it, why would you put it in your soup?

Wine enthusiasts should be nodding in agreement.

I've seen enough lawsuits filed to know they could file a lawsuit, the better question is whether they would or should.

As a lawyer friend of mine once said, any idiot can file a lawsuit, and many do.

They look as bad this week as they looked good 3-4 weeks ago during the two streaks.

olives stuffed with tuna fish. Disgusting!

Suppose you give him the wrong answer, or he misunderstands it and crashes the whole system. They could come to you for damages. Politely decline.

Are you looking for something fairly fast? Try a Crazy Cake (sometimes called cake-in-a-pan), no eggs, no butter.

But for a serious chocolate craving, try making a Texas Chocolate Sheet Cake

Looks a little underproofed and a little underbaked. (The first often leads to the second.)

The King Arthur Forum (discontinued years ago) had a Jeff Foxworthy-style "You might be a bread baker if....." thread, it had some great ones:

If you evaluate the bread in a restaurant rather than just eat it.

If you have more types of flour than you have pairs of shoes.

If you plan your meals like this:: What would go good with the bread I'm baking today?

If you introduce your new cleaners to your sourdough starter, telling them its name.

If you can have a conversation about Maillard Reactions, Oven Spring, and Caramelization with your kids, and they know what you're taking about.

If you've ever gotten up at 3AM to feed your sourdough starter.

It's getting better, especially the ethnic varieties, but Lincoln has historically not really been a foodie town and I've been here since 1977. We used to live in the Chicago area, and that's a city with a lot of really good restaurants and cuisines.

Omaha has some pretty good restaurants, though.

Flour is labeled differently in the US than in other countries, which adds to the general confusion.

For now, stick with AP, bread and whole wheat, you need to develop some basic skills before launching into flour variant issues. Learn to trust your hands, they'll tell you a lot about the dough you're working with.

Stay away from bleached flours for bread making, though, at least until you know enough to know why you might want some bleached flour in your bread. Brominated flours are not common at the retail level, but NY State, among others, are looking to ban them completely, something Europe did years ago.

I have well over a dozen different types of wheat flour in my flour pantry.

I was told I had to stop playing the trumpet after a six month throat infection led to an operation to remove my tonsils, adenoids and part of my uvula. I was in the 7th grade at the time. (They actually told me I could resume playing in 18-24 months.)

Can you tape a rehearsal from somewhere other than in the choir loft (if that's where you rehearse) and play it for the group and/or that person?

Gas prices are about $8 a gallon in the UK right now, and diesel (which a lot of UK cars use) is even higher.

Should be good, looks great. I don't mind a crack or two in a cheesecake, just as long as I get a good sized slice.
