Who uses spoons? Wooden ones are so shallow they don’t hold much. I use a ladle if I need to scoop Wooden spatulas are $1.30 each, get a bunch, treat them like poo poo, get new ones if they break

I have shrugged and not even bothered to stalk ex-roommates who left with unpaid bills, but absolutely hounded someone who took my favorite pair of tongs when she left. I have had them since childhood, goddamn it. I got them back.

Any of you have things in your pantry that you have just to have? Things that you got excited about but are scared to use because then you wouldn’t have them anymore? I’ve got zillions

I'm so sorry for the loss. My birdseye pepper plants refruited and spread this year and I didn't realize it and now I have a back garden of 50-60 full-sized plants. They're not good as the main fruit in a pico but they're good as a nice heat booster please let me send you 4-5 gallon bags of tiny peppers. No I won't cut them down. I will just start a pepper sauce factory.

I dream of having toast, a poached egg, salt mackerel, and a pot of coffee for breakfast for a dollar. Hell I'd just be happy to have a salt mackerel option in the restaurant period.

It's a 1907 menu, all the prices are in cents. Average blue collar worker made ~$0.22/hr, average household income was a couple hundred. White collar professionals might make a couple grand. A steak that cost you $0.60 in 1907 is like a twenty dollar steak today. The real holy poo poo thing about that menu is that the Flatiron Restaurant was in the basement of the Flatiron building (which had just been completed in 1902) and seated ~1500. It's also kinda cool that there's so much offal in their breakfast menu. That used to be a common thing across the US (although a diner in the South that would be happy to give you a plate of brains and eggs would probably be baffled by calf's brains, beurre noir), but by the second half of the 20th Century that sort of thing had become a thing mostly rustic and southern.

Yesterday, I bought a duck. By the end of today, I will have an elegant duck terrine for my Christmas starter, duck stock for making gravy and duck fat for my roast potatoes. I love cooking.

I am intent on finding confit de canard for dinner tonight, ideally with dauphinois potatoes, and a glass of decent red. Hopefully my partners don’t get in touch for us to eat together because I’d actually love to have a meal alone.

UPDATE: I know you’re all on tenterhooks. I arrived quite late in Paris. As soon as I exited the metro near my hotel I saw a cafe that was well-regarded and served lamb chops (also a great favourite) so I have ordered those, with a nice glass of Minervois. If I have room afterwards I will have a crème brûlée. I hope for confit duck* tomorrow lunch. *initial typo “confit gently caress” followed by “confit dick”

UPDATE 2: the lamb chops have been vanquished. Veni, vidi, vici. I am awaiting my green beans (the waitress thought I wanted frites instead of and not in addition to beans). I have not finished the frites so as to leave room for crème brûlée. The wine was very good.

UPDATE 3: the beans were cooked with oyster mushrooms and a lot of fat and black pepper. Absolutely delicious. I really like green beans but my stupid wife doesn’t so I don’t eat them often. Mushrooms and beans was very good! I imagine that the mushrooms provide a similar salty umami to lardons in a dish like that. Creme brûlée of the day was lemon, which I don’t fancy. A whole crème brûlée would have been too rich anyway. (I made them myself for the first time last week, BTW. They were pretty good). I’ve gone for a scoop of coffee ice cream instead.

If you like mushrooms and green beans, try this simple recipe hack: 1 can of cream of mushroom, 1 can of green beans, bake, top with fried onions. Paris at your doorstep

I don’t think that the highest of the high end are really any better than any other major city, but the overall average standard is just so high. You can walk around any street in Paris and find somewhere really good. My usual technique is to randomly turn two corners and stop at the first place with a blackboard instead of a menu. It has never let me down.

Paris was a cointoss for me, some great, some clearly trading on the fact that they were in Paris and that most tourists don’t know what good food is Some were tourists traps that made excellent food Side note: as far as being tourist-hostile, my friend living in Montmartre said that in the 90’s France had a big PR campaign begging people to be nice to tourists. She says it was 50% successful, which lines up with my experience Steve Yun fucked around with this message at 07:46 on Dec 16, 2022 |

I performatively hate Paris after a bad experience as a teenager and will always promote Lyon instead, which is cleaner, friendlier and the food is better.
