What are "fridge pickles"? I put up fermented pickles but those are
kept at room temperature and don't go into the fridge until fermented
to a point I want, could take 3-4 weeks for half sours, some like full
sours and that can take 5-6 weeks and longer. Once placed in he
fridge fermentation stops. I've been preparing pickles all my life
but I've never heard the term "fridge pickles"... most pickles sold at
market are cooked, canned, and never refrigerated. Those are what
fast food joints use on their mystery meat burgers, disgusting, not
even pickles. Real fermented pickles are never placed in a
sandwich/burger, always served on the side... properly fermented are
the best part of the meal. Besides the mystery meat burgers another
reason I don't eat at fast food joints, those disgusting canned
pickles.

Yes they are. Last year was hard to get them going and this year I
will be doing some fridge pickles as well.
I may add some zuke pickles in there as well. My dill is ready to go.

I may have mentioned that my wife sews...a lot. This loud KitchenAid cover is
now the brightest item in the kitchen. Is or isn't there a mixer underneath
it? I should have told her that black or white fabric would be fine.

Your used Leaf now cost more than a new one.
 
I've got $1,000 CASH for anybody that rams into him next week and
runs. Police never investigate those things anyway.

Of course not silly. Marines were never allowed on navy ships!

As bloodthirsty as I am, I consider my "signature dish" to be spinach with Gouda and heavy cream. More than once, after describing it, I was asked what you dip into it, and my answer was, "A fork." You being a pescatarian, I'd suggest corn meal dredged tilapia, cut into small pieces. the thicker parts cut to the thinness of fish sticks, and deep fried at 275F, then doused with salt, white pepper and lemon or lime juice, with side being only my cheesy spinach.

Do it. Boil the spinach, press every bit of water out in a colander, and add nothing but heavy cream and cheese. It's divine.

I use peanut for deep frying because I got a bunch of it really cheap. I use olive oil, but only when I want the flavor of olive oil. I can't imagine being a pescataraian, and not having a deep fryer dedicated to frying fish.
 
However you feel about Steve, he challenged folks to get on topic, and post about cooking, and I agree. Vegetarian cooking is not about emulating meat dishes, but about dishes that happen to not include meat.

Maybe dave will stop by so you can get a good long whiff. I think

You can buy KN95 or FFP2 respirators. I wear an FFP2 every day at work, and I use them for many days, rotating them out when they get too smelly. I was threated with getting beat up today by a coworker for calling attention to him not wearing a face covering. I could have gotten him fired, but everyone is really stressed right now, and many folks aren't acting rationally. I'm kind of a pariah because of my outspokenness, but they can't fire me (or would be very foolish to do so) because I'm extremely productive, and the persons who are not properly masking are doing so in violation of an executive order from our County government.
 
I love my job, except for the danger that I'm put in by the non-compliance with masking and social distancing that is mandated by County government, albeit not enforced, so far.
 
This virus is almost exclusively transmitted through airborne droplets and particles, and the infective dose is pretty small. I am quite fond of my existence. Yeah, I eat too much and drink too much, and consequently am overweight, but I do what I can to minimize transmission of the virus. Covering the face is where it's at, the best tool we have until there's a vaccine.

I like the cheap little paper spit protectors that my work gives me. I wear one for lawn care even, just to not breathe as much of Mother Gaia's Garden when I'm playing in it!

My mom used to cook beef tongue about twice a year. When simmered for several
hours, the meat shrank from the skin, or the skin swelled. The skin almost
looked like a stiff gelatin case and was easily removed.
I liked the tongue itself. It had an almost crisp texture, but the muscle
behind it might as well have been ordinary stew meat.
I haven't seen beef tongue where I shop in over twenty years. They used to,
and may still, sell lambs tongue occasionally. I never tried that, and the
cow tongue I cooked for my wife, just once, grossed her out, so...
