    Toigo said their strawberries just came in and will be around for 5-6 weeks. A couple I sampled from a $6 quart were very good. Could be sweeter... maybe in a week or two. Mr. MV also picked up some mustard greens for me at the Crystal City market. Very strange. There were mustard green leaves at the bottom of the plastic bag, and... weeds. A lot of weeds! Never seen that before, but ok...

    ... been dreaming about the jumbo lump from Shells Yes all winter long. Did not disappoint. The jumbo lumps were the biggest I've ever seen. Served over sauteed mustard greens, with a remoulade-type sauce and scorched corn.

    Who knew?! I thought you were going to write about growing a pineapple tree. I adore pineapple. It's our favorite fruit. I might have to give this a try.

    I tried their wings as they were giving out samples (I think it was a parade in Old Town) when the wings were first introduced. They were surprisingly good.

    The SLT pans are very, very slightly thinner, and that it about it. I'm thinking of the 10" pan now (8" too small, I agree) and the 13" Chef's Pan. With this SLT sale, I can get both for under $100, free delivery. Haven't pulled the trigger yet

    Is there a difference in the heat-inducing ingredients (peppers etc. ) between Thai, Indian and say, Mexican and how they work in your mouth and with your tasting? I hear many people saying that they love it HOT!!!, but for me, at a certain level of heat, my taste buds are absolutely blown out and I taste *nothing* anymore.

    Sur La Table has Tim Love Carbon Steel pans at significant discounts. Does anyone have these DeBuyer type pans?

    I must be behind the curve, because I've been ensorcelled with this Sriracha mayo sauce* lately, here squeezed onto a flatbread pizza with pesto, sausage and caramelized onions. ... and eggs, melts of many kinds, grilled chicken, fried shrimp... *recipe recently requested from a 20-something chef

    Befouling a burger with turkey bacon is like putting ketchup on a great steak. Just. Wrong.
  14. monavano
    That's my gestalt, with bacon being the most abused and overused ingredient. It's. Bacon. And cupcakes, because they mostly suck and f*ck you for charging me almost $4 for ONE.

    KN didn't show Gordon busting Amy for passing off her pastries as her own, but it was suspicious that the first thing Gordon did was tuck into dessert and ask repeatedly if she made the baked goods. Many people online were suspicious from the beginning, just from looking at her kitchen, which didn't seem to be equipped for serious baking. So when will their reality show debut? (If Samy doesn't get deported)

    Last night- Asparagus soup with a dollop of Greek yogurt, Chicken Piccata with cauliflower puree and broccoli sauteed with anchovy paste. Lemon chiffon pie for dessert. Tonight- more chicken! I have cacciatore with chicken thighs and a spicy chicken sausage in the slow cooker with white wine, chicken stock, onions, garlic, crimini mushrooms, bell peppers, tomatoes, herbs and spices. I'll throw together a catch-all salad to begin.

    Lather, rinse, repeat. Here's an local TV interview with Amy and Samy from last evening. Is employment in Scottsdale so bad that so many people would try to get a job at this place?

    Thanks, thistle. I've been keeping a bag of Giant's ez peel shrimp in the freezer for quick dishes like this. This Bang Bang was cheap and easy.

    y.b. flatbread. I love when I get inspired eating in a restaurant. Mr. MV and I ate at y.b. (younger brother) in Cape May, NJ a couple days ago, and ordered this flatbread. Basically, pesto (I used last year's stinging nettle pesto), chorizo (I had sweet Italian sausage), caramelized onions, swiss cheese, gorgonzola cheese, Blue Ridge mozzarella (because I had it on hand and have to use it), and a Sriracha mayo sauce, using mayo, sriracha, capers, caper juice and roasted garlic. It's really the Sriracha mayo that clinches this. Must. Use. More.
