I used to be an avid reader, but years of high school and depression completely ruined that. I haven’t been able to complete a novel since senior year six years ago. It’s frustrating to me and I want to know how I can overcome my lack of focus and anxiety. I’ve heard I’m not alone when it comes to this sort of thing at...
My spouse was gifted some sourdough starter. While I love bread, maybe too much, I also try to hit about 120g of protein a day and I just don't know if daily focaccia is going to help me in this endeavor...
I'm not sure how much protein you can add but King Arthur Flour has a few blogs about what to do with sourdough starter beyond bread. * -https://www.kingarthurbaking.com/blog/2016/05/12/sweet-sourdough-baking -https://www.kingarthurbaking.com/blog/2014/07/27/excess-sourdough-5-tasty-ways-to-use-it-up * I've found that adding a few (2-3) scoops of unflavored protein powder never really hurts anything but I generally know what the consistency of cake/scones is supposed to look like.
Hey folks, I'm in the market for a good carbon steel skillet. I recognize there's all kinds of options, but curious to hear people's experiences with some bang-for-your-buck picks especially....
Man, that's such a tough question that really depends on my mood but based on the number of times I've revisited/ reread it, it looks like Patient Zero: A Joe Ledger by Jonathan Maberry.
There were a couple of Q/A posts here yesterday that got some pretty good engagement, and I was wondering if folks would be interested in a weekly pinned Q/A post?...
In general, be aware of the type of ticks in your area as tick borne diseases are spreading geographically. People tend to frolic during nice weather which could also lead to increased exposure to mosquitos and their diseases too. Therefore, please be safe and use an insect repellent and do a thorough check after being in a tick habitat.
In addition to Lyme disease, there's Rocky Mountain Spotted Fever, Ehrlichiosis, Southern Tick-Associated Rash Illness, Alpha-gal Syndrome, Anaplasmosis, and Babesiosi are the ones I'm aware of in my area but there are more.
This little thief has been nicking the sunflower seeds we put out for the birds for a while now. I just can’t bear shooing him away, so we simply put up two more bird houses on the balcony for the birds which he’s not touching. One entire bird house to himself seems to be satisfactory!
For me, it would probably have to be my Bialetti moka pot and Dualit toaster. I make a pot of coffee and toast almost every morning. I also hope to replace my old pans with a cast iron one soon, and I look forward to using that a lot.
I think that this is a great step forward! I hope they also pursue crustaceans 🦀.
It might not help our oceans recover (reduced populations due to increased water temp and those effects) but it would help to reduce some the human impact of fishing.
Growing up I enjoyed a book called "Six Ingredients or Less" which - you guessed it - featured recipes that used only six ingredients or less. Do you have a killer recipe or two that fits this theme?...
1 canned corned beef (Libby's or Grace) 1 small cabbage, washed and shredded 1 medium onion diced 2 cloves garlic diced 1 tbsp oil 1 medium tomato (chopped) 2 sprigs Thyme 1 scotch bonnet pepper diced and de-seeded (optional) A dash of black pepper (optional)
Wash the cabbage then shred it.
Add oil to skillet or Dutch oven over medium high heat.
Sauté the onion for 3-5 minutes.
Add garlic and cook for 30 seconds.
Add the shredded cabbage, tomatoes, black pepper, and thyme.
Cover saucepan and cook cabbage for about 5-7 minutes until tender.
Add the scotch bonnet pepper (optional)
Add the corned beef. Use a big spoon to break-up the corned beef and stir with the other ingredients.
Simmer for another 3-4 minutes
Serve with any of these items: rice, boil banana/ plantain, fried dumplings, or bread.
Gnocchi Skillet with Chicken Sausage & Tomatoes from The Kitchn
1 pound frozen or shelf-stable gnocchi
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
9 ounces cooked chicken sausage (~3 links; garlicky or jalapeno is a plus imo) , sliced into 1/4-inch-thick coins
1 pint cherry or grape tomatoes, sliced in half lengthwise
1 to 2 ounces fresh basil leaves, thinly sliced (1/2 to 1 cup loosely packed)
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil over medium-high heat.
Add the gnocchi and cook for 2 minutes or according to package directions. Drain and toss with a drizzle of olive oil.
Heat a 10-inch or larger cast iron skillet over medium heat with a light drizzle of olive oil.
Add the sausages and cook until it begins to brown, 2 to 3 minutes. Push the sausages into a pile at the edge of the skillet and turn the heat up to high.
When the skillet is quite hot, add the tomatoes, skin down, crowding them in if necessary.
Cook until they are blistered, 1 to 2 minutes.
Stir in the sausage and cook until both tomatoes and sausage are slightly browned, about 2 minutes more.
Stir in gnocchi and cook just until all is combined, but the tomatoes have not broken down into sauce.
Remove the skillet from the heat and stir in the basil.
Taste and season with salt and pepper. Serve immediately.
