I find that cat meat is kind of stringy. Sure is tasty though.

Gruyere would make a good choice, assuming you like that sort of flavour. I
was referring to extremely bland cheeses like Jack which add no taste but
only texture and fattiness.

There is vinegar and there is sweeter balsamic glazes. Each has a use.
 
Then there is real balsamic vinegar. Aceto Balsamico Tradizionale di
Modena A 25 year old will set you back $150 or more.
https://www.amazon.com/Balsamic-Traditional-Tradizionale-Villa-Ronzan/dp/B00ZGT5IZC
 
The stuff you see at the grocery store is just a dilution of the real
stuff. It became very popular about 20 years ago so it was diluted and
exploited. The stuff you see for % or so is junk.
 
Best place to buy it is in Italy, in the region around Modena if you
want a decent price. I paid about $50 there.
You can get a decent 12 year old here for about $60 delivered

When making a jam you have to let it sit on a stove for quite some
time to boil out any excess water. I make pineapple jam/preserves
regularly and I only use like 3 tbsp for 2 large jars of jam. I
recently started making apple pie preserves and they are quite good! I
love them when mixed with a plain greek or almond or soy yogurt.

Agreed with you and Gary.
 
Learned that one at Momma's knees. Taught my team that on ships. If
you wanted the preservative and paint to last 4-5 years, you waited a
day for a full cure before next set. Longer is acceptable.
 
Ships don't really have 'humidity control' (and none on outside skin
obviously) so you get what you get. If it rained when you didn't
expect it, wait a bit for next step.

Are you saying the whole world is attached to Donald Trump?

Perhaps all businesses should put a red or blue flag on the door so you
know if you should buy there.
 
Trump was thinking about selling Puerto Rico about the time he wanted to
buy Greenland. I wonder what the price would be, I'd like to have my
own country.

None of that matters.
After rereading this I'm changing my stance. I missed that celebrities
slammed Goya. That is pretty important and I use celebrity pontificates
to guide my life.

I just bought 12 cans of a competing brand just to fuck over Goya.
 
https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00FA3QLJ6/
 
Besides, they're $17 cheaper. Goya stuff is s ripoff. They have pay
extra for the premium shelving/placement in grocery stores, and that
price is passed onto the consumers.

First thing for energy each day is burning off
the carbohydrates that you've eaten.
 
Once you burn those, your body switches to converting
stored fat into carbs. That's harder to do so you
will feel sluggish.
 
Marathon runners often "hit the wall" at about
mile 20 with 6 more to go. That's when carbs are
depleted and the body switches to burning fat.
It makes it very hard to continue.

Am bewildered by the price range and varieties of balsamic vinegar
aailable at my local supermarket. Wold like to add a decent balsamic
vinegar to my pantry, and would appreciate a recommendation for a
starting point.
 
What brand of balsamic do you buy and like? Cost?

Oops. Both of those are out of my price range. I knew the "good"
supermarket stuff was expensive but the real thing is more than I'd
spend on top shelf bourbon.

When they sell them disjointed here, the drummies are always
$.20/more per pound. And are always the first to disappear at the
Chinese buffet, leaving only the forewing portion.
 
So "prized" is in the eyes of eater.

>> My meatloaf is a little different than American meatloaf.
 
There's no such thing as American meat loaf, in fact there is nothing
American about meat loaf... meat loaf has been prepared for centuries
by many different nationalities. The only thing I can think of that
would make meat loaf American is that the typical US home cook drowns
mystery meat in ketchup.
 
When I make meat loaf the first thing I do is to place my meat grinder
head and a large bowl in my freezer to chill. I'll have one or two
large roasts trimmed and sliced into strips at the ready in the
fridge, could be half beef and half pork, but not necessarilly exactly
half. I'll grind in onion, celery, parsley, bell pepper, carrots,
potatoes, and whatever else I find suitable... grinding in some raw
potato makes for good texture, sometimes not peeled but always scrubed
and de-eyed. I typically add one large egg per pound of meat. I'll
grind in crackers/bread, a minimum amount to hold it together... I
never buy packaged bread crumbs, those are all floor sweepings from
what falls on the floor from their bread slicer. I never add milk,
for moisture I'll add some wine or beer. I don't add ketchup either
but I may add a small amount of canned tomato sauce, or some V8. I've
even ground in some sauerkraut. For me the most important part is to
grind my own meat, no mystery meat here, NEVER!
