Happy Mutants Food and Drink topic

Hope you share whatever you make!

Personally i don’t have any plans made for tomorrow, but will see what my partner wants to do. At the very least i’d like to make myself some cocktails.

and @mindysan33 ,
right? no big plans for tomorrow, just another day. i have no interest in celebrating flag waving, rah-rah 'murca now.
i reckon i’ll do what @Docosc said in another thread - go work the gardens and in the shop. try to not dwell on what has just happened - just try to heal a little from the shock and pain of the realization that tomorrow is a birthday party for a dead entity.
i may find some heart in grilling some burgers with my neighbor, but mostly just being outdoors and then, around sunset, get all the kittehs into the house for the night to keep them safe from the bang-boom yahoos. maybe we’ll group cuddle on the floor and watch a lighthearted foreign flick.
i’m in no mood…

Strictly speaking this may not be the most appropriate thread, but we can safely assume Beef Wellington will be off the menu for a while in Australia.

Little Gem Lettuce. So yummy.

From the InterWebNets Dr. Google:
Little Gem lettuce looks like small-size romaine. Although it is full grown, this specialty romaine variety is about half the size of regular romaine.

I just washed it for Laurie, she hasn’t allowed me to assemble a full salad.

There is a scene in The Taste of Things where they cook them. It looks amazing.

That film is pure filth from the copper cookware to the outrageous sauciness of the plats de résistence.

See, I wasn’t sure whether to take “pure filth” at face value

Well that film was, for me and my mate (another cishet 50+ man who does the cooking in the house) absolute pornography!

Pizza memories… :wink:
No I never tried this.
In point of fact I was a Pizza chef as a teenager at a pizza restaurant called “Rivera Pizza Parlor “ in the SF Bay Area.

I don’t remember if it was Chef Boy-ar-dee, but I do remember my mom making pizza from a box just like that :slight_smile:
Or should I say… “pizza”?

Edit: is that “Rob and Laura Petrie” in the ad? And why does she seem to be wiping her pizza on his sweater? :thinking:

Copper cookware is unreasonably expensive. When you see a kitchen with them you know it’s there to show off… At least now. I don’t know historically how that was priced compared to other types of cookware though i would still imagine it would’ve been a statement piece for the kitchen.

I’m not sure when the historical inflection point was, but hammered copper cookware was less expensive than steel. When the work was done manually, copper’s lower hardness and better ductility made it easier to manufacture prior to modern machinery.

I noticed in our recycling box our old copper stainless steel pans.
Not sure if these will actually make it to a thrift store donation.
They do not work on induction stove tops.
Since we are thinking of a new stove,
