Redskins peanuts are just commercial peanuts that have been
roasted and shelled but they were too lazy to remove the skins.
You can eat them but most people just wipe them off before eating
the peanut.

Did you see the article on Keyhole Gardening in this month's Costco

How do you feel about ferrets, Nancy? ;)

Ferrets, no thanks. I am sure they are nice and furry, but too active for me. Besides, they are
rodents, aren't they? ;-))

Have you ever thought of buying untrimmed celery? It's always half the
price.

Bruce mentioned that 'they' do make acorn coffee.
I bit and googled it and I see that it wasn't a trick.
Thanks for that, Bruce....seriously.
 
I read a bit about it and now I'm interested.
As my whole street is lined with Willow Oaks,
and in the fall, it literally rains small acorns
here every day for several weeks.... I might just
try some acorn coffee next fall (November usually).
 
Will probably taste terrible but will be a fun experiment.

I've never had it so I can't say that I recommend it :)

Oddly enough, they don't. We've got one that seems to add
five-spice to every single dish. Monotonous.

I agree with you there, Cindy. I can make some good stir fry. Not
necessarily all the same but never quite as good as I can get
from a Chinese place. And they are cheap.
 
saves lots of prep time plus cheaper than buying exotic
vegetables just for a few meals. This is why I rarely cook
chinese. Find a good local restaurant and just buy take-out
during lunch hours (reduced prices). All costs less money and
also less time than making all this yourself.

Chinese Restaurants are BASICALLY RACIST!!
 
Do we KNOW the history of Chinese Restaurants in the U.S.? Another example of the STUPID RACIST LAWS in the U.S.!

Magnifying-glass toast is good if you're not pressed for time.

> i find it difficult to skin a salmon filet. perhaps i'm using the wrong knife. i was taught to use a steak knife(not the knife you're thinking of; it's a long curved knife which was designed to cut for example to slice up a whole strip loin into steaks). some people they get it right and take that whole skin off in seconds. maybe i should try a boning knife.
 
Buy yourself a good "fillet knife." Somewhat long, curved and
razor sharp. Get a good one, don't get cheap.

> i like to scramble mine fairly quickly over maybe a bit less than medium high heat. some people like their scramble low and slow. dr. phil did something i found to be a bit nutty. he warmed up a pan, broke eggs into the pan and then scrambled them in the pan. he ate the eggs right out of the pan. i guess his schtick was to appear to be earthy and simple.
 
Dr.Phil is a walrus-looking phony.
 
As for just scrambled eggs for me:
- scramble 3 eggs raw in a bowl
no water or milk added
- heat small frying pan on high then
- add a bit of butter until it browns
- add eggs and stir constantly on medium heat
- remove from pan and plate while still very moist
 
- serve with a slice or 2 buttered toast which you
made before cooking the eggs. Add S&P, eat.

In Dave's first post to this thread,
he wrote OAK milk, not OAT milk
 
That's what I responded to and I mentioned acorns thinking oaK.
 
Look back in the thread or if you're too lazy to, here
is what he first said:

Easy to miss though. I had to look twice. heheh

That depends on your mom's recipe. I've got a good one.
Refridgerated oysters are ok now as long as you get them
with a few days of packing date.
Personally, other than at a restaurant, I've always killed my
oysters. Either ones I harvested or nowadays from the local
fish market. He's the only one nearby left so I try to support
him.
 
I went to a friend's house for Thanksgiving dinner one year back
in the mid-70s. His wife made an oyster stuffing for the turkey.
Best darn stuffing I ever even dreamed of. The next year I cooked
my own turkey and made an oyster stuffing. No recipe, no
cookbooks that had that, and no internet to look it up.
 
It was a fail....way too much oyster taste. Turns out I should
have used the oyster meat only and not all the liquid/liquer from
the shells. I should have asked first but hey...live and learn.

> I like Oysters Kilpatrick
> https://www.thespruceeats.com/oysters-kilpatrick-recipe-256024
 
I looked that up and sounds good to me. My only concern was
cooking long enough to cook the bacon. That would over-cook the
oysters. I would have cut the bacon and cooked that to almost
done before adding it to the oysters, then in oven.
 
Same thing when I read about people wrapping raw bacon around a
shrimp. By time that bacon is cooked the shrimp is WAY
overcooked.
