  1. @lenndevours You were clear of the monorail accident, I trust?
  2. Happy 5th of July, everyone
  3. They're not great plums: The area near the pit is super green tasting even though the rest is sweet, they're not complex at all. Still.
  4. Took what I could from the plum tree that straddles the side fence. Most of the plums ripened/fell last week when I was otherwise occupied.
  5. @Hank_Shaw Caramelize them way down and can?
  6. @divinacucina Yeah, I can't appreciate "gourmet" red wine vinegars anymore; they're so non-complex. I want to try making white again.
  7. and some indeterminate time until the wine has turned
  8. Pulled 1.5L of vinegar - yay! - from barrel, bottled, and re-filled with decent red wine. 6 months until the bottles are ready!
  9. Ha ha. m-w's word of the day is "invigilate," with a pronunciation of "miss-kun-STROO." As one person said, "my guess was way off."
  10. Couldn't resist the rare Highland Hills chickens at the market, even though they're a bit large for roasting
  11. @melissanicole Whoa! We'll never run out of that :)
  12. Flatbreads and Flavors:"You will need a large saucepan with a lid and a food processor." Hmm. None of my pots have built-in food processors.
  13. Bouchon's quiche is a treat to eat but takes days of prep work.
  14. Quick meal planning efforts before heading out to the market. Bouchon's quiche is on the menu, I think.
  15. Loving how the simple act of restarting my Mac has become a 20-minute ordeal. Slow apps, firmware updates, system updates.
  16. To drink: A Pays d'Oc Viognier. Not the whole thing though.
  17. Dinner tonight: lamb sausage with pan-fried potatoes (duck fat, of course) and sauteed squash. Haven't decided on a drink yet.
  18. @rachelcole I feel like I saw a note from @FattedCalf implying they'd be there
  19. Got stuck on a programming problem, so spent the afternoon playing through the Wallace and Gromit adventure: Fright of the Bumblebees
  20. @brochtrup I'd prefer the nose to the end my cats choose to point at me.
