Day 1: Bones and veggies into the oven at 450 degrees for 45 minutes. Then, into the stock pot to simmer for about 10 hours. Remove the solids and put the stock into the fridge overnight. Day 2: Remove the solid fat. Give it a shake. How about all that collagen! IMG_2281.mov Make shoop, eat. My knees feel better already!

Programming the CO2 testing software to understate the emissions so they'd be in compliance with law maybe?

It was -- a gasket (or, O-ring) on solid rocket booster that didn't seal properly partly due to cold weather.

One of our local restaurants calls this “Lettuce wrapped with chicken” 😀

I had a couple eggs over English muffin for lunch today after reading this thread.

One trick I learned is to put the egg in a fine mesh strainer and let the watery white drip away. Yours look good, without the stringy white, so maybe you did that. Day in, day out we’ll do our eggs in a non-stick skillet with cooking spray. Get them barely set, add a splash of water, salt, pepper and cover. The steam sets the white and helps get the yolk done. The water prevents crisping the edges too. Almost like poached.

We really like this as a lower calorie alternative to pasta. Cut a spaghetti squash in half and remove the seeds and fibers. Brush with olive oil and season with salt and pepper. Place flat side own on baking sheet. Roast at 350 for 1 hour. Fork it out. This is with a ho’made tomato sauce and a meatball. We also do the squash as a side. Same start then place in a casserole dish with some Parmesan between layers as you add.

My last 'visit' to NYC was in June. We flew into JFK from overseas and missed our connection. After some scrambling, we got a reasonably priced flight going to KC that evening ...out of Newark. I was willing to do about anything to get there, except public transportation during rush hour. So, we negotiated a flat rate with a cab (By negotiate, I mean he said $X, and I said yes ). 1½ hours later we were there. That ride through Manhattan SUCKED! Stuck in massive traffic snarls, people just standing on their horns (because that makes things go quicker) , people yelling out their car windows (Because that makes things go quicker). I did get to see Katz's Deli on the way (bringing this back to food ) Oh, cool -- I can add video. This first one is our cab driver getting advice how to get out of this mess.

Found some pics from that party. Hope I don’t blow this place up.

I've been tweaking tiramisu for a long time and have it where we really like it. Nothing groundbreaking, just a little fine tuned from the recipe on the mascarpone container. Love the steam/fried dumplings. Trader Joes has pretty good frozen ones. Blue Koi here in town does a great job with them. We went to a Chinese New Years party last year and a friend of a friend made them there. They were delicious. I scribbled down the recipe for the filling and sauce but probably won't do them from scratch. There was so much interesting stuff to try at that party. I hope they do another this year.

I was there in the 80's. A couple guys got shot out front while I was there. Never did hear anything more about it

NYC is expensive, dirty, smelly, noisy and the people are generally a-holes. Unless they're trying to sell you something and then you're 'my friend'. I've been a few times on business. Got to go to the dealer desk on the edge of a futures pit many years ago. It was really interesting to see the open outcry trading with hand signals, shouting, bumping, etc. The guy I was with gave me a quick overview of the signals, then pointed out to me who the 'big swinging d***s' were to watch. I went to a conference a few years back and stayed in Times Square. Got to see Naked Cowboy. Yippee. I had hotel food for the most part but did get out for some pizza. They know pizza. I'm picky about where my hot dogs come from. I'd eat one of @Terrierman's before I'd eat one from a NY street vendor Edit: Found some pics. This was 2011 This guy got pissy because I took his pic without giving him money

Like tots too, but lately we’re getting the crowns. Just wolfed down a few with a turkey burger. Not picture worthy

Wow! You Maillarded the heck out of those! I bet you’re a black marshmallow guy too, right? 😀

Here’s a something I invented for cold winter days. I call it “Grilled Cheese and Tomato Soup”. Good stuff! I have found the Campbell’s tomato soup to be delicious. For the sandwich, I selected Velveeta cheese and Sara Lee wheat bread. Try it, you’ll like it!

Some really nice stuff being made. Those Smitheys are sure beautiful. Google is onto me because those ads are showing up everywhere for me now. But, I gotta say I like the Lancaster the best. It's got that cool buggy on the back.

Agree. My enameled Dutch oven is my favorite piece of cookware. It's got some cracks and chips, but not a problem yet. When its time comes, I'll get another for sure, but probably won't pay up for a Staub or Le Creuset.

Great report! I bet your daughter will remember that experience forever!!

I need to be careful reading this thread! It’s tempting me to spend some money!!!! I’ve got this one, that is clearly an antique because they stamped the manufacture date on the bottom😀 Surface is okay on the large one, kinda too thick on the small. They’re ok. We use them to fry chicken, do cornbread, sear steaks, cook sausage, etc. I’m tempted to acquire some good stuff and donate this, but don’t want to get screwed. Maybe I should just put the pans away and take a nap. 😀

Went over to my baby girl’s house today. Future son-in-law has an Ooni too, so we did pizza. First a Margherita: Then a fig butter, prosciutto, arugula and balsamic glaze one. Pretty good but we all like the Marg best. I made my daughter’s favorite dessert Tiramisu:

KCMO set an annual murder record at 184 this year. How did StL do?

You’re a 1 percenter! Congrats!😀

No idea
