Silver lining to having to drive in the snow for more offal is a big bin of fresh blue crab which I’m pretty sure is illegal because crab season ended a month ago but this is why everyone should support their local sketchy corner store.

This is a little Mexican deli in a poor neighborhood, they bought a bucket off some locals so this is like idk the equivalent of looking the other way when someone rips off Walmart. Also the only place I can get good organ meat because the local butcher sued the town over the decision to move a stone slave auction block to a museum claiming that it would reduce his foot traffic so yeah I’m gonna support the Mexican deli. Turned that offal into good rear end hot dog chili. Beef heart chili is the only chili for my hot dogs.

My new batch of vanilla has almost sat long enough to start using. It is ~5.25oz beans to 750ml brandy and I am way too excited about it. I also realized I have way too many kinds of vanilla in my cabinets with different source beans + alcohol base, plus two different kinds of imitation. Clearly I need to be baking more cookies.

When vanilla beans were still stupid expensive (still are?), I was just using nice bourbon instead and I've pretty much replaced vanilla for most uses now.

I got gifted a Puerto Rican vanilla that uses a rum base and its got this nice spicy kick to it that can be fun. I also have terrible garbage chemical imitation vanilla that is the complete other end of the spectrum but is also 100% what people think of when they remember what their birthday cakes tasted like growing up from the store. Brandy, bourbon, madagascar, tahitian... Really I should just set up a separate drawer or shelf for this all.

I'm gonna dump this question here, didn't see a seafood thread (no puns intended). Oregon crab season is happening so the local shops have dungeness crab in stock for cheap. I've never cooked crab before but have access to big pots and instant pots and a sous vide and cast iron basically all the things except a deep fryer. How should I cook crab? Techniques, favorite recipes, etc. TIA

But as far as I'm concerned Dungeness crab isn't one of those crab meats you really want to tart up with a fancy preparation.

If you're not planning on using anything other than the legs then I guess you could have the fishmonger clean them for you. It's quick and dead simple to do yourself, though, so unless you're really squicked out by crab guts or something I'd just do it myself.

Serious Eats writer lady did a piece on how infusing your own vanilla in liquor can't approach vanilla extract. Not throwing shade just seemed relevant. https://www.seriouseats.com/2019/12/diy-vanilla-extract.html

I've started tuning out the word "complexity", i dont really believe in it as a useful metric for food. That said I certainly buy that modern vanilla extraction gives better results than putting a bean in a bottle.

Won't necessarily disagree with anything she's saying, but homemade has its place and doesn't replace the need for store bought - i like the repping for Rodelle which is the brand I go for any time I'm in someone else's kitchen and need to do a grocery run. I wish i had more space in my kitchen so I could have dedicated drawers to things like salt, pepper, chili, and vanilla where I have a dozen versions of each.

So Imperfect Foods is coming to my town. At first I was excited because I get upset about food waste and how cosmetics drive what is saleable. But then I started wondering about the carbon footprint of delivering all of those groceries in refrigerated vans around Las Vegas and I got concerned. Has anyone heard of a study comparing the costs in trucks vs throwing away all that food?

It turns out they're not just running around every where like Amazon trucks. My area has one delivery day - Tuesdays. I feel a little better about that, so we'll give it a shot. Will report back.

Are they not just buying up the same B/C tier vegetables that processed food producers buy up for their own products and then selling it to you at a mark up?

Yeah if it's one bigger truck making rounds it can be OK, the whole driving to the store thing is usually not-so-good. Light googling suggests that the biggest contributor for food is production, and bulk transport is like 15%, so it's hard to imagine making it worse in any event.

The pricing for the veg works out to the same or less than what I pay at Winco, and bonus for not having to run out to Henderson for that. I get most of my veg from Ranch Market, but being Asian oriented they don't always carry some of the things I want. What is cool is that they offer dairy, meat, dry goods, and non-foods for really good discounts. 4 oz of chevre for $1.99? Yeah that's better than all the stores. We'll see how long this lasts, though. I've never had food delivered, but I've become super bougie since moving to Vegas.

I've had Imperfect for a few years now. When it started off it really was ugly, weird-shaped produce, now it's more of a general hippie grocery delivery service with a limited selection. The fruit and veg is mostly under- or oversized, and always stuff you can buy at a regular store, no weird seasonal stuff like ramps or chanterelles. Although it does vary a bit by season, and they've had some unusual apple varieties. A few months back they added meat and dairy and eggs, although the meat is only packaged things like smoked salmon, salami, maybe a chicken breast. They have lots of vegan meat and dairy replacements. They also have hippie brand dry and canned stuff that's listed as being discounted for reasons like change in branding or overstock, although I never bother comparing prices. If you leave last week's box and icepacks on your porch they will take them and reuse. They don't put anything in any kind of extra packaging.

Mr. Wiggles posted:I've become super bougie since moving to Vegas. Only sorta bougie from what I've seen. One of my bougie friends in Summerlin started up with Imperfect Foods. Her first box was loving massive: off-cut salmon chunks (individually wrapped, which isn't ideal, but hey), two kinds of tomatoes, orange bell peppers, limes, delicata squash, bok choy, and three or four kinds of brassica. She was very happy with the value. She also posted a referral link for $10 off your first box; PM me if you want it. 20+ pounds of produce at once is a lot for me alone, but if my parents are interested in sharing I might give it a try. It's good to get some produce I don't know what to do with sometimes, and "ugly" food makes good fodder for pickling experiments.
