Food but not recipes

When I got my new set of pans when we moved here, I had to come up with a storage solution. For the lids I hung a chain and put a hook for each lids so it just overlaps the lid above it - that’s what keeps them all snug against the wall.

Food but not recipes

Another thing about induction - if you’re the kind of cook who likes to remove the pot from the heat and swirl the contents around a bit before returning it to he heat - or vigorously shaking it back and forth in the stove top - you can’t really do that with an induction. As soon as the unit doesn’t...

Food but not recipes

Are woks out with induction? Traditional woks (parabola shape) work best on gas - they work, but not all that great, on electric, but not at all on induction. You’d need the kind with a flat bottom, but the’n it’s not really like a traditional wok. Since I can’t use my wok on my induction, I cook o...

Food but not recipes

With gas or electric you can look at the burner and determine somewhat just how much heat you are applying to the pan. Induction gives no visible clue, other than looking at the dial setting. It seems to me that there'd be a learning curve involved. If anyone here is using induction, I'd like to kn...

Republicans behaving badly

I looked at the photo of him in uniform. The oak leaf cluster (denoting a second award) is clearly visible. What an odd thing to claim to have. Knowing the Army awards system as I do, it wouldn’t surprise me in the least if he honestly believed he had been awarded a second medal. I’ve done a number ...

There can be overlap - restitution can be a criminal penalty, but it can also be available as a civil remedy, no?

George Santos (R-NY) and his imaginative (but dishonest) résumé

I think there’s a difference. Blackface has no redeeming qualities and is therefore indefensible. For some drag artists (not all, I don’t think), their art is tied to their sexual identity.

When guys like Giuliani do it, though, it’s just offensive.

A Gentleman in Moscow on Paramount +. I absolutely loved this book, and the series (so far) is incredibly faithful and so well-done.
