Easter morning is a busy time for @TheSwissBakery ! I had to pick up an Easter cookie, of course.

It's a very Scrubs birthday with both @Eliza_Coupe and @zachbraff celebrating. Since I'm a Jo (and Jane) man, I put Eliza first.

I think you are headed to a Sephardic seder, at least that's what my mind associates with Mediterranean and Judaism. Well, the Times yesterday had a story about a Sephardic seder and one link there led to a dish of Braised Greek Artichoke Bottoms with Lemon and Olive Oil as well as Turkish Spinach with Tomatoes and Rice, both of which sounds pretty good to me...though maybe not green enough? (Also, according to the site, rice at Passover might or might not be acceptable.) I think I'm now going down the recipe search rabbit hole...always fun!

DR Spring 2012 Picnic: Sunday June 3rd, Noon-6pm
TheMatt replied to Scott Johnston's topic in Events and Gatherings
Well, if the gods of DCA allow my flight to come in on time (around 1 pm), I can hopefully make the latter part of the picnic! Now to figure out what to bring since I won't be able to do much cooking... -

Kinda hoping no one wins the Mega Millions. One story I read said the next jackpot would be ~$975 million. Local TV news would go nuts!

Electrolux Panini Press with Built-in Microwave
TheMatt replied to DonRocks's topic in Shopping and Cooking
My guess is that you'd add a microwave because you want to cook the inside of the sandwich as fast as the outside. My experience with panini grills is that often when the outside is that nice crispy brown, the inside can still be quite cold. Microwave ovens work (in a very simple explanation) by the fact that water molecules rotate when exposed to the right frequency microwave radiation[1]. Once you start rotating the water, it's not hard to transfer that motion into vibrational and translational movement, aka, raise the temperature. This is also why it's easier to heat liquid water than frozen water in a microwave, the molecules are more free to move. Thus, if you add a microwave, you can heat the filling (which in almost every case will have liquid water as the major component: veggies, meat) just as fast as the outside is being crisped by the direct heat. Matt [1] Usually 2.45 GHz in residential microwaves, though 915 MHz is used in commercial ovens sometimes. Since longer wavelengths penetrate deeper, easier, the 915 band can be useful. Of course, in a panini press, it's not like you need to penetrate too far, so it's probably 2.45. Plus, 915 is only really used in the Americas. -
