    Anniversary dinner ideas?

    My husband always wants my lasagna for his birthday. You can make it a day or two ahead and bake it the day of. I serve it with garlic bread and a nice green salad and I make this Quick Tiramisu for dessert.

    Question about cast iron care?

    It's a good idea to wipe it with a bit of oil after drying it on the burner. Don't worry about the residue.

    Black garlic-how is it fermented?

    The first time I had it was in a restaurant in Charleston, SC. It was mixed with aioli and served with a fish dish. It has an intensely savory flavor. It isn't really fermented, btw. The flavor comes from the Maillard reaction, where proteins and sugars are browned and that browning creates...

    Did Ya'll know there are Self Driving Robot Trucks on the Road in the USA?

    Programming for autonomous vehicles takes in data and is given rules to follow and combines those for decision-making.

    Did Ya'll know there are Self Driving Robot Trucks on the Road in the USA?

    Well, plenty of people are thinking and writing about autonomous vehicles and Asimov's laws for robots, so they're not entirely irrelevant. I brought it up to encourage discussion about how to manage the addition of AI-driven autonomous vehicles to society, since it's happening.

    Did Ya'll know there are Self Driving Robot Trucks on the Road in the USA?

    Computers will make whatever decisions they're programmed to make. Writer Isaac Asimov, who wrote a lot of books and stories about robots, established these rules for robots: "A robot may not injure a human being or, through inaction, allow a human being to come to harm. A robot must obey...

    Garden 2024

    Most herbs do best when they're neglected. They don't need a lot of water or fertilizer. They do need a lot of direct sun. I don't water mine at all - they just get rain. Dill is a cool-weather plant that quickly bolts in the heat, but you can succession-plant it - start new seeds every few...

    Ants in the spring....

    Yes, it's a powder. You can get it at any garden center or big box store - maybe even some grocery stores. It's harmless to mammals.

    Ants in the spring....

    I've used borax, too. Just sprinkle it around the perimeter and in windowsills. They eat it and it kills them.

    Just Curious... How do you watch your Cooking youtube videos?

    I remember watching him in the beginning. He used to be an animator at Disney. When the pandemic subsided in 2021, he was offered his job back; he took a leap of faith and turned them down to work on the channel full-time. He started getting more and more sponsors and last year wrote a book. I...
