I started some Corn Salad / lambs lettuce / feldsalat and some Greek oregano in my cold bedroom (50* F) today. Anyone have any tips / luck with growing these plants?
Now that I have a nearly 2 year supply of citron halves, I can recommend Kalustyans as a source for unchopped citron. Many who do not like citron have not tasted 'good' citron. Used to buy it from a shop in Boston but they're out of business.
During the winter months, each evening at about 15 minutes after sunset, we spread about 1 litre of Agway's molasses laden Superior Performance Horse Feed around our mulch pile. To my surprise, the first guest diner tonight was a BIIG FAAT cottontail who piled right on while I was still...
Using such King Arthur specialty flours as Sir Lancelot, First Clear, Medium Rye, and Whole Wheat seems to bring the cost of producing a loaf of bread to about $1.50 per pound.
While this would appear to be nearly double the cost to make bread using the bread flours available at many...
What temperatures do you folks like to deep fat fry various foods?
For example, we've had good results with cracker crumb coated fresh fish fried in 350*F oil.

I like tripe, but it's tough to come by and a pain to prepare. So I just ordered 6 cans of Juanita's menudo. My reservations include the fact that the hominy is not lye cured. I ordered two 29 oz. cans of the hot & spicey and four 15 oz. cans of 'homestyle'.
With shipping the menudo cost...

I wanted finely grated Locatelli Pecorino for use in my cheese shaker dispensers / applicators. Due to concerns about condensation from high humidity, I brought the cheese to...
Certain flavors and brands of carbonated beverages seem to rarely go on sale.
Many off-brands do not seem to taste like the ‘real thing’.
Often a bottle of 2¢ plain costs as much as a bottle of flavored fizzy.
What’s your preference with respect to brand and flavor?
- Brand name plain...
What's your preference for canned tomato sauce?
We've used Hunts and Redpack.
The plus for Hunt's (aside from our owning ConAgra stock) is that the can liner is non-plastic.
Redpack has a few additional ingredients ( garlic, onion and red peppers).
I enjoyed Cipollaccio cured in red wine when I was in Italy. It's not really an onion but tastes somewhat similar. I've been considering trying to grow them, but need more info on the different ways they can be preserved and prepared.
Any info would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you- Bill
Any of you folks had occasion to regularly enjoy monthly dinners at places like those in the thread's topic? The guys at my post used to make some super dinners but the deserts were not up my alley. Being attended by mostly fossils, there were usually plenty of seconds left over for me :pig...
