I've wanted to experiment with a food dehydrator for awhile. A new Aldi opened on the other side of town, so we went to check it out, and they had their dehydrators on sale! Bought one, for it home, one of the trays is snapped :(

I was gonna dry some of my malabar spinach into chips. Boooo. Now I have to wait!

Also, wasn't there some also brand of like, cheese or something that's super good? The smoked gouda is okay, not very smoky though. Aged white cheddar (black wax) is pretty good too.

No sense of taste/smell for a few months sounds like a golden opportunity to shed a few pounds (if you have any extra to shed).

Oh I know that veggies cause more food poisoning then meat.

I was just surprised by the 100% contamination, and the indestructible one.

Re the "indestructible one" it is not a bacteria. Staph aureus produces a toxin not destroyed by cooking but if the food is held at proper temps it can't reproduce quickly enough to create enough toxin to make you sick. This is not a "super bug" situation. Proper food handling reduces the risk incredibly.

oh wow.

this makes me feel a lot better. I literally last week complained to the customer service at a grocery store for the first time ever, because they had been out of cilantro the last 9 times I had gone to the store. I was really polite about it and just suggested they see if there was an ordering issue or something, girl was like 'i have no idea why we don't have cilantro'.

ugh

I haven't eaten any cilantro in like 3 weeks im goin' crazy over here!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

We made some really good Vietnamese style salt cured limes, but other than making salty limeade or plopping them in cold gin I can't figure out what to with them. Besides drink lots of gin, of course.

I'm probably stuck on this because I'm still thinking about cilantro but

if preserved limes are anything like preserved lemons, I'd discard the pulp and julienne the rinds. you can use these to finish lots of pan roasted vegetables. I've done julienned preserved lemon rind with pan roasted sunchokes and potatoes, just tossed in the sautee with extra butter, a splash of chicken stock and parsley at the end. makes an interesting and tasty side dish.

so for limes, I pan sear brusselsprouts, top with cilantro and fried shallots, and make a nuoc chom dressing which is a super good dish. that could probably benefit from some salted lime rind? or other roasted green vegetables in a similar way? or think mexican snack style, maybe roasted nuts or fried chickpeas or something with chili powder and minced salted lime?

Brandy does in fact, in my experience, contribute to Getting Down.
A case of cilantro used to cost me 12bux. Now that there's an embargo on Mexican cilantro its up to 35 a case.

This is almost as bad as last years lime shortage.

He doesn't mention this, but I'm sure the pan boiled dry first. The water regulates how hot the can gets, but once it's gone all bets are off.

If the water boils off leaving the can exposed to air instead of dulce de leche you get a big fuckin' boom. I didn't do well enough in thermodynamics to explain it beyond that.

In a sense...yes. For one time use, and with a rather poor set of safety mechanisms.

What other sausages would work similarly to pepperoni? i.e. can be sliced thinly, placed on a pizza, crisp up nicely and maybe cup and char around the edges.

The Turkish bakery up the road has started selling pizza slices. I bought two veg on the way back from the gym earlier. Thickly packed with butter-soft sautéed leeks, crispy toasted cauliflower and broccoli florets, peppers, mushrooms, and a thick coat of kashar cheese over a crusty base. It must've been delicious. At least it felt that way. I'm going mad.

I cooked channa daal for supper yesterday. I used nearly two full tablespoons of turmeric and an inch of ginger to boil with it, and nearly a whole bulb of garlic, a teaspoon of hing, six dried chilies and two tablespoons of cumin seeds in the tadka. Nothing.

At least it's a way to lose weight.
