Casu Marzu posted:Idk, I've had like 5 boxes of the most fragrant, sweet and flavorful strawberries in ages. And they're cheap too! I'm super jealous, I've been striking out so far. Final straw was the 2 pound boxes that Restaurant Depot was selling for $1.35, completely tasteless. Chemmy posted:If they're from California I thought that too much water made strawberries tasteless. With the heavy rains we've had all season so far maybe that makes sense. Yeah, I've heard that before, that could be it. Chemmy posted:Are they? When I drive through Watsonville they all look like they're there outside. I used to live near Ventura, and there were TONS of outdoor berries, and no green houses. They would do strawberries from like December to March, and then tear them all out and plant bell peppers.

I don't understand how the sugar covered glazed tart is less sticky than a blueberry enclosed in a velvet skin. I too regularly eat 2 lbs of blueberries a day during berry season. In the first trimester of my pregnancy, I was eating 2 lbs of strawberries a day because it was the only thing I could stomach (that and canned soup...).

Knife and fork? Also I guess I mean stuff like apples, peaches, plums, and the larger hold-n-bite fruits. My pie and tart love is so great, fruit just becomes an ingredient.

I just don't buy the sticky argument. :| I'm not a huge pie fan though, and even when I make a tart, I never do a sugar glaze. They're just too sweet and heavy for me.

Also, one of my fav things is to chill a watermelon or a couple peaches or plums during a hot July and just sit on my porch and eat juicy fruit until all the juice covers my face and hands and shirt. Feels good, man.

Chemmy posted:Are they? When I drive through Watsonville they all look like they're there outside. There's always exceptions, but most of the serious scale commercial production is in greenhouses in places like camarillo. With a greenhouse it's just so much easier to produce good fruit, control for pests, manage inputs, etc.

Happy Hat posted:Anybody got any good Pate en Croute recipes? Pâté was such a huge thing in the late 80s and 90s I remember. Basically it all seemed to revolve around various types of pre-cooked pork, cure or uncured, in a loose, spiced forcemeat stuffing. Bit of liver in there is probably good. Pity I don't really have any way to dispose of one once it's made since we're only three. e: oh yeah I remember the pastry was always old school shortcrust pastry but I have a very definite suspicion that the British have this down pat with hot water pastry. Maybe the best pâté is, in fact, a pork pie..? ee: oh and whole hardboiled eggs in there. eee: I'm fasting before a medical and I'm fetishizing food right now.

Thanks, all. Felt sorry I vented like that - was probably just the morphine. I don't think I like morphine very much. To cap it all off though, my friend took me to the best late night place in town after I got checked out of the hospital and taxied up to my place, and the restaurant is under new ownership. Which is fine, because the food is still good, but they took congee off the menu. And if there was any time that I wanted congee...

Sorry to hear about the downturn, there Wiggles. We do a ton of thyroid biopsies here. Don't get too worked up over the lump.

Sorry to hear about your woes, Wiggles. I hope you feel better soon and that the lump is just a goiter (which a very special episode of Home Improvement taught me it usually is when I was a kid).

Every time I see a new doctor, they think I have a thyroid problem because my neck is thick. One by one, every doctor discovers that I'm just fat.

Wiggles, Laub and Laub did right by me about a decade ago. Maybe give them a look for personal injury law stuff.

It could be that the thyroid stuff is easily treatable if caught early but you would not have known about it until much later had it not been for the accident. That might be more optimism than you are capable of right now though

Yeah. My stepdad had his prostate cancer discovered before he was symptomatic because of a hernia and his recovery was super easy.

I am also a sufferer of what is known medically as 'weird thyroid'. I got a nodules. It's just something to keep an eye on, it's very low on the list of things that will kill me. I'll probably die in a flamethrower incident before the thyroid gets me. Oh, I was using a flamethrower all morning. It's like power washing, but a hundred times more dangerous and uncomfortable. \/\/\/Spoken like someone who's never had to use a flamethrower to kill stinging nettle.\/\/\/ Suspect Bucket fucked around with this message at 01:25 on Mar 17, 2016 |

Any tips for gastrique making? I've only made ones from fruit before and this time I'm starting from a liqueur... Was going to let it reduce, match with vinegar and sweeten to taste from there, is that a solid plan?

Was going to let it reduce, match with vinegar and sweeten to taste from there, is that a solid plan? Reduce your liqueur, then take a teaspoon of it and put in a bowl. Add vin a quarter tsp at a time until you get a balance you like. Note the final ratio. That way you don't gently caress up the ratio with the bulk of it.

On the thyroid tip - even if it is cancer, that poo poo is curable like 95% of the time. No matter how the biopsy comes back, it's honestly not that big of a deal. Good luck with the car wreck bullshit and sorry to hear about everything going all to hell all at once.
