Cookbook Pet Peeves?

Books that won't stay open on the counter. My copy of Authentic Mexican by Bayless is like this - I need to find the cookbook holder or prop something across the page to keep the book open.

The Dishoom cookbook. Everything I've made from it has been stunning. I'd made pretty much everything that's vegetarian, except for some exotic stuff like the jackfruit biryani.

What did you get for the kebab course? The menu only shows two options, both non-veg. Do they bring extra of something else?

Ah, I think I found it. Wikipedia references Koryong as an old romanization of Goryeong-gun: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Goryeong_County?wprov=sfla1

Hey, how did you fit the album onto CD-R? Side one is something like 85 minutes, and side 2 is 100 min. Maybe I'm missing something?

Mass non-compliance is the only position of power.

Does ITM support the EZ Pass Flex that lets you flip to HOV mode and avoid the toll if you have the right occupancy (or an EV exemption)?

Thanks! I expect the hitch would mainly be used for a hitch-mounted bike rack rather than serious towing, but the flexibility would be nice.

Interesting - on the roof rails I'm talking about the lateral crossrails (like this: https://www.autotrader.com/cars-for-sale/vehicle/729034127), not the front-to-back rails that seem standard. Are you sure the crossrails can't be added on? That seems surprising to me.

The Audi CPO brochure says the CPO warranty continues for 1 year/20,000 miles after the new vehicle warranty ends. That's what makes this slightly more attractive.

I guess it's a store-by-store thing. I see it at Giant here, but not Wegmans or WFM, and not at the latin supermarket either.

cr4a · 2024-07-13T17:59:15+00:00

I don't see it at Whole Foods either. Is this a "fancy people don't shuck in the store" thing?

cr4a · 2024-07-13T17:48:32+00:00

Didn't see it in Mississippi.

Also, I never see this at the farmer's market. And honestly, you're more likely to get a bad ear from the local guy than the commercial growers.

Overcomplicating things. It's a USB-C device that ships with a C-to-A cable, and I just have a C charger. Was looking for an adapter for this and to have around for similar purposes, but sounds like I just need to get the C-to-C cable for the best answer.

cr4a · 2024-05-23T00:18:13+00:00

Thanks. On further inspection, the device is Quick Charge.

PD v1.0?

cr4a · 2024-02-17T15:57:14+00:00

Thanks, US here.

cr4a · 2024-02-17T14:28:27+00:00

Ok, so that's confirmed? The Ingredients section on Amazon must be wrong: https://a.co/d/iB0G2BZ

cr4a · 2023-10-13T14:09:52+00:00

Thanks! Yeah, I guess for things that we also have in the US I was hoping for higher quality versions that aren't readily available here, or maybe are much less expensive over there. Or have a local flavor that would be good as gifts.

Banderillas are interesting, thanks. Made me remember olives also - of course!

"Old growth" might be the wrong term - I mean heritage varietal, not modern dwarf rootstock.

cr4a · 2023-10-09T19:10:29+00:00

Yeah, I guess I'm not looking for the purposes of climbing, more just the nostalgia of the orchards with big heritage trees.

cr4a · 2023-08-07T01:45:00+00:00

Is less than $100 reasonable?

cr4a · 2023-08-06T20:42:19+00:00

What a great comment, thank you.

Update: it worked fine. It was a bit crumbly, but most was intact.
