I Once Made Instant Bread In A Microwave And Almost Went Back In Time

Never heard of this before: "No-time bread." Any takers yet?

Wrap Your Meat The Easy Way: Tips & Tricks #7

I know they're expensive, but I like to take the leftover ham or turkey carcass from a big meal and put the entire thing in one of those 2 or 2 1/2 gallon zipper-lock bags. The bags are expensive, but you can wash them out if you like.

By the way, the ones with little sliders on them usually don't seal so well as the ones without. And, yeah, some of the non-slider store brand ones leave something to be desired too. :(

Happy Thanksgiving!

Hope everyone has a happy thanksgiving. I'm ensconced with friends, and about to make scalloped potatoes, which always seem in demand. No liveblogging or such foolishness this year. :) Have a good one.

I happened upon this brief interview with Jim Lahey, the no-knead bread guy who started the craze from his bakery in New York. Apparently he also has a book out, which is way cool. Enjoy.

Warning!

You now have two weeks until the U. S. Thanksgiving holiday.

That is all.

Never Did Find Out Exactly What That Was

A photo from this year's N.C. State Fair that I almost lost (click it to embiggen):

The only pigs I've ever licked were dead, and I only licked pieces that were cooked, or mostly so. Please feel free to enlighten me, O fairgoers.

This Is Why You're Fat, Eat At Joe's Commercial Chocolate Version

2009-10-24T23:16:29-04:00

Yes, this is disgusting. In a good way. Maybe I'll send it to This Is Why You're Fat:

[Click on picture for enlarged chocolatey goodness.]

Contents:

Ben & Jerry's chocolate dipped waffle cone
Ben & Jerry's "Chocolate Therapy™" ice cream ["chocolate ice cream with chocolate cookies and swirls of chocolate pudding"]
Pepperidge Farm "Soft Baked Captiva® Dark Chocolate Brownie Cookies," broken up to make things, um, more convenient
Oreo "Chocolate Creme" sandwich cookies
topped with Cocoa Puffs.

I would have put some Nestle's Quik on there if I'd thought of it.

You're jealous, aren't you? ;)

And The Newest West Village Tenant-To-Be Is... Pop's

2009-10-24T15:09:54-04:00

According to one of the principals at Pop's, the restaurant will move from its original location to a new one in West Village by this spring. Principals signed a lease yesterday (23 October 2009), and the next few weeks will be taken up building out the new, larger kitchen. The new dining floor should seat between 200 and 250 people, and there will also be private party rooms for private functions. The restaurant will have frontage on Main Street, and back doors opening onto a pool area. I'm also told the new place will try out a lunch menu.

Pop's will be staying in business at their Peabody Place location until opening at West Village. Additionally, Pop's Backdoor will continue to run their pizza delivery operation from Peabody Place even after the restaurant proper moves.

Good luck, folks.
