BIG fan of mushrooms here. I'll take them anyway you want to serve them.

One year, the day after Thanksgiving, my husband and I went to Winco
to do some grocery shopping. In the produce section there were 3 big
full boxes of the brown mushrooms marked 98 cents/pound. I got as
many as I figured I could use up in a week, 10 days. (that was before
I had a recipe for marinated mushrooms) Because of that sale I never
miss checking out the mushroom area ;-)

The whole thing is silly. Sure, teasing a bit is OK, but when you
denigrate others it says as much about you as it does about them. Maybe
more.

Very true! I don't think they see it that way. They seem to think it

I asked my 10 year old if she would eat "salad frosting", and she wrinkled
up her nose and said "no!" This trick may work for a short time (one time)
on much younger kids (the under 4 crowd), or kids to whom the packaging and
"cute" name appeal to (but are old enough to know what it really is), but
the concept of eating it simply because it's called frosting is dumb.
They're not fooling anyone.
 
I grew up in a family of hunters, and deer sausage was always called "Bambi
meat", especially to the littlest kids. No matter what it was called, I
always knew it was deer meat. The name made no difference. Then again, I
liked it, so getting me to eat it wasn't an issue.

It's a fairy tale. There is a tenuous correlation with Kraft selling
ranch dressing as "salad frosting". No real reason for her parents to
tell her nephew he wasn't eating broccoli. As if saying "little trees"
would make him more likely to eat broccoli.
 
Same thing with her parents teaching Angela the word for 'S' was "sneaky
snake". You don't believe any of this, do you?

What it all *really* goes back to is people having smartphones that have
all these alert features. Don't you have to subscribe to/activate these
apps or do they come automatically with the phone and the provider?
Surely there's a way to select different types of alerts. Weather
alerts only, for example.
 
Fortunately my life isn't that complicated. :)

If you're lucky, maybe they'll stratify their warning system to
differentiate between amber alerts and weather alerts, and give citizens
the option of opting out since the technology is built into the phones
themselves. Here we can turn off notifications for Amber or weather, just
not "presidential" alerts, whatever the hell those are. Since that
notification feature is built into modern cell phones now, I'd be curious
to know if any Canadians have changed their default settings to turn the
notifications off, and if they still get alerted. Or if Americans traveling
over the border also get alerted, since they're in your territory.

In the US, yes, but apparently the Canadian government took that right to
opt out away from its citizens.

Yeah, same old, same old. Stuffed bell peppers. If you don't like bell
peppers, nothing new or convincing to change my mind.
 
I use bell pepper very sparingly. Sometimes a sauce or miripoix
benefits from a little, but it's a very fine dice. I don't want to bite
into a chunk of bell pepper. Raw or cooked, I simply don't like the
taste or texture. I don't like biting into large chunks of onions, either.

It's pretty much standard stir fry. I don't add any Chinese stuff like oyster sauce or 5-spice. Mostly, you just use whatever you have in the fridge. The taste should be fresh, bright, and slightly sweet with a bell pepper and tomato taste. The sauce would be some ketchup, soy sauce, and maybe a little garlic. You could add some ginger but I didn't this time. I add the tomatoes at the end and try not to cook them.

i found 2 packs of elk steaks at my local small supermarket. 224 grams/2 steaks for $10.99 CDN. the packs didn't say what cut they were. they were extremely lean with not hardly any fat. i was tempted to buy a pack, but since i didn't know the cut, i didn't bite. i was really surprised to find elk steaks at my local grocery store. maybe they were a sirloin cut???

a lot like beef, but leaner. Not gamey as venison. I am speaking
about fresh caught animal. I have no idea what it's like from the
supermarket

Decades ago I was friends with a woman whose boyfriend went with a group
of guys from west TN to somewhere in the Dakotas (maybe?) to hunt fresh
elk. Brought back some elk steaks. She invited me over for dinner.
The elk steaks were extremely lean. She beat the hell out of them with
a mallet and then braised them, covered in liquid for hours. That's
about the only way to get them tender.

I have never tried cooking anything sous vide but would like to. What
does 130/48 signify? Do you have a recipe or source to recommend for
instructions? Thanks!

It looks ready for me to dive into! I like the vase and flower arrangement,
too; simple and just the right touch.

Agreed! Can't wait for *someone* to chime in about the *steamed*
broccoli. Because, ya' know, steaming vegetables is such a horrible way
to cook them. Heh.
 
It looks delicious and the table is casual yet elegant. Those big yellow
flowers (lazy susans?) are beautiful :) And yes, I noticed the nice
large pat of butter on the plate with the toasted bread. I'd eat this
dinner! A very nice thing for her to do.

I've never seen a chuck roast served medium rare - that's brilliant.

I'm about the only one around here that uses a grill except the Laotians across
the street will grill every blue moon or so. Only thing my neighbors get to
smell wafting from my yard are the meats I grill and the hickory wood chips I
use when I smoke a pork butt.
