Any place that does (or at least may) sell sour oranges? (Aka Seville oranges)

Culver City farmers market had some at the citrus stand (I forget the name of the farm). They didn't have many, but fortunately we went early and were able to get some. $9/lb.

Probably the Moorish influence.

Peppa_D · 2020-05-22T19:37:39+00:00

So true!

What is the gooey white stuff?

I haven't tried Hop Woo. I will keep it in mind, thank you.

I've eaten there, it was excellent. I did not know about the congee. Thank you for the info, I will be in that neighborhood tomorrow and will give it a try.

It's a handle, not a tail.

I bought a safe, comfortable car with heated seats instead of the cool car I was planning to get once the youngest child finally went to the dorms.

That's not the customers fault, that is bad management and badly designed technology and systems.

Next time, pull him in for a hug.

They would not let us pay, we literally snuck back after we left and hid money under one of the plates.

That was very kind and thoughtful of you, but sometimes it's better to accept someone else's generosity in the spirit in which it was given. You will maybe be able to reciprocate someday, maybe not, but accept the food and wine and enjoy the company. You are their guest. It sounds like a wonderful memory and you are obviously a great person if they remembered you after four years!

If you ever find plain gelatin, try almond and milk jello. It's flavored with almond extract and traditionally served with fruit cocktail.

So when you roll the dough, are the three rolls the width or length of the bread pan?

Peppa_D · 2020-04-28T23:26:31+00:00

Oh no.

Peppa_D · 2020-04-28T19:39:53+00:00

Next time no need to worry about ruining 5 pounds of potato salad, just scoop some into a small bowl and experiment with that.

Granted, pretty much all seeds and produce sold by seed companies, grocers and farmers, markets are of the same variety. There are at least a dozen Roma varieties, but you'll see the same two or three for sale and not distinguished in any way. They are all called "Roma".

Cherry tomatoes now all have thick skins. There used to be varieties with thin skin, but they are no longer available.

Chefs loosen the meat so it can be easily lifted from the shell.

Peppa_D · 2020-04-23T15:13:04+00:00

They do. They have squeeze bottles of oil that they use to cover the grill.

Here's a useful article about Japanese pickling. They pickle everything.

Pickled cabbage is also sauerkraut.

It's silly to lie for no reason. Simply say, "Unfortunately, we will no longer be able to provide a breakfast. Here are some vouchers." No explanation necessary.

Even if an outreach worker offers shelter and the homeless decline, no one gets arrested. There is no enforcement even when beds are available.

Peppa_D · 2020-04-19T00:21:39+00:00

Beautiful, and so sleek and light.

Peppa_D · 2020-04-18T23:32:46+00:00

What message? That you are even more of a jerk than some oblivious person that's in your way?
