@ai6yr I was just told a few minutes ago that the one in Durham is closed. I guess they all bit it?

Seeking eggplant recipe ideas, as I have one limp eggplant in the fridge and 8 eggplants growing in hydroponics (which may produce a massive amount of eggplant).

So far my repertoire includes 2 dishes:

  1. Eggplant Parmesan (Italian)
  2. Eggplant in Garlic Sauce (Chinese)

(the family hates eggplant, except me, so we never eat it 🤔 )

I've made this so many times that I've lost count. It used to be my favorite thing to take to parties. It's a Julia Child/Simone Beck recipe from Mastering the Art of French Cooking, v.2. I wrote it up a long time ago & added glosses & pointers.

@ai6yr I've literally had people come up to me at parties & tell me this was the best thing they've ever eaten in their life.

@ai6yr The hardest thing is making sure the eggplant is cooked enough.

Also, every once in a while, an eggplant will just have very little flavor. It's the only recipe I've ever seen by Julia Child where she recommends MSG if the flavor isn't quite as much as you think it should be.

It's also a nice recipe to turn into a garlic bomb. 😆

Anyone have any Hurricane making advice? This is for the cocktail, not a cyclone. :) I'd prefer not adding to my over-extensive liquor collection, but I'm happy to buy or make syrups or other inexpensive items. I imagine I need passionfruit. ;) I live in an control state (), so ordering a particular booze can be hard. Cheers! 🍸

What I was really doing earlier was wondering about replacing a hammer I used to have in my kitchen. I now have a, um, "correct" tool, but there was something satisfying about using an actual hammer to, say, flatten cutlets. I was looking at weights of these:

https://www.leevalley.com/en-us/tools/trusty-cook-dead-blow-hammers

I may buy one, or I may not. I already have a dedicated hammer for crushing ice, so why not another? ;) #food #tools #cooking

jhv,
@jhv@triangletoot.party avatar

@ai6yr That is also a, um, correct tool. :) I've dented my non-traditional rolling pin using it as the wrong tool. Now I have a bunch of All-Clad I could use, & one of those little -- hell, I don't even know its correct name. [looks at same frickin' site] Ah, it's a "meat pounder." Sounds gross. ;) I also think I'm not supposed to put it in the dishwasher, but I ain't supposed to do that with the All-Clad either. Hopefully I can put the hammer top-rack in the dishwasher. ¯_(ツ)_/¯

@ai6yr I'm what's known as a lazy mother fucker. ;) Also, standing over a sink washing dishes is guaranteed to set my back off eventually. It might be 5 minutes or 2 hours, but it will happen. So any time I can.um, dishwasher a tool without damaging it, I'm all for it.

@ai6yr Holy shit. Dishwashers etch stainless steel & glass, & actively eat away aluminum, so that's impressive!

Who needs artificial intelligence when we have stuff like this?

ai6yr, to ArtificialIntelligence

Yes, yes, that's a GREAT idea, let's arm robot dogs with flame throwers! Great idea! (they are pitching this for prescribed fire burning for wildfire prevention and "snow and ice removal from driveways"... at least until they find a military buyer, I am sure). https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/technology/company-unveil-robot-dog-companion-with-flamethrower-attached/vi-AA1nvoEb

Amazing Persian-style stuffed peppers. (Do not do 2 teaspoons of saffron! Just a pinch will do.)

I used Baharat spice blend instead of the combo they list — it’s essentially the same. Either will work.

I also used Michael Solomonov’s method of washing and soaking the rice, rather than cooking it beforehand.

I chose to soak the rice in 2L boiling water and I let it sit for 4 hours. With thicker bell pepper walls, I baked it for 75 minutes & it was perfect. #food https://jmoreliving.com/2019/02/13/persian-inspired-stuffed-peppers/

@snarkysteff 2 teaspoons of saffron sounds insane & very expensive. 😂

@snarkysteff I've never heard of anyone using so much in anything at all.

Ah, I must have been suffering from "sheep" photographer syndrome that year. It's silly to go around the world taking the same photos as everyone else, tossing that one! (Multnomah Falls... overphotographed!)

I know a lot of my LGBTQ+ friends aren't going to be enamored about any sort of USN ship, no matter what the name is, but having a Navy support ship named after Harvey Milk seems like a story from a different timeline. Having it visit San Francisco Bay makes the story even better.
