Noble Dust

Oh I know; like I said, I'm just trying to use up leftovers that will otherwise go bad. Not exactly special. Very tasty, however! I look forward to tr...

Inspired by @"javi2541997" and my increasing efforts to reduce food waste, breakfast included a piece of rye toast topped with salted roma tomato and ...

Sounds like some down south cookin'. Dinner for the week is chicken shawarma, Mediterranean white bean salad, hummus, and pita. Waiting for the shawar...

Yeah that was a terrible call. Protesting the game is extremely rare. Pretty crazy.

What’s actually goofy is the defensive trend that lead to that rule change. Teams were doing ridiculous infield shifts where the second basement was i...

I’ve had those, actually. They carry them at the Thai grocery store in Chinatown here. I tried to buy the larb flavor as I love that dish, but the wom...

I should think this way more often.

Yes, I've loved the American versions I've tried. Any pointers as to what makes a real version authentic?

It does all come back to Senegal. Not sure if I can get cockles in the US, but good to know. I'll keep an eye out.

Thanks, Clarky. Despite being a dumpster compressor when it comes to food, I don't much care for sweet potatoes. As to what I normally eat with fish, ...

Oh? What? As a single man, the bag would contain a single serving.

You’re not the first person I’ve met to tell me this, which is partly why I feel the need to grab a bag and cook them up in some butter and lemon. The...

I’ve never had them. What can you tell me? What shit do you know?

What’s the consensus on scallops? I’m on the fence; I find them to have an odd after taste. On the other hand, I haven’t had them in years and am over...

I do love oysters, but I think mussels might be my favorite bivalve.

That’s a lot of shit to know.

And I'm more sure than I ever have been.

Looks like pre-ground. I'm disgusted.

I'm intrigued. I know I've had Costa Rican coffee before, but I can't place it's terroir off the top of my head. What you describe sounds like what I ...

Your first problem is picking up on social cues.

Dreamers will always dream, while pedants pedant.

@"T Clark" Seems like the time is ripe to make the TPF wiki page a reality. All sources would be primary. Each regular member could even have their ow...

They're from Akron Ohio, 10 minutes from my hometown.

This is the coolest new music I’ve heard in awhile, maybe since the Pharoah Sanders/Floating Points collab: https://youtu.be/gXp5a4VurR0

I didn't, but I just read part of the Gambia wiki and now I do know that.

Yes, I just ubered there, ate a take out container, and threw up. Really good stuff.

I was going to mention, everyone I've spoken to about joloff rice has been effusive.

Ok, I think you've motivated me to try the Senegalese spot by my work this Wednesday. Please check in with me to make sure I follow through.

Do it. I too am shamefully behind on African cuisine. Perhaps you'll motivate me to try the Senegalese Joloff Rice place four blocks from my job.

Good food is what you like. In that sense, it's not about taste. What is taste? "Taste" seems to suggest some understanding of authenticity, which, as...

Yes, I should underline that I echo this sentiment.

A sad day at TPF. Another old timer bites the dust, and it feels bad. I respect it, though.

:chin:

With no sarcasm I salute you. I’m not at that level yet. You appear to have suddenly eclipsed both @"Jamal" and myself, the two resident cosmopolitans...

Were you that annoying freshman in college who asked incessant questions in every class? While wearing a newsboy?

I think she tends to dip in and out. I trust she's doing well, and that we'll see her again soon enough.

Already there. Is that middle aged? Fuck me if so. I just take my sudden shortwave radio fascination to be a natural extension of my incredibly sensit...

And I'm not even middle aged. I'm not sure what that says about my future.

I just accidentally spent the last hour listening to and recording short wave radio bands. I'm basically addicted. Hopefully bits and pieces will appe...

Ah ye a Lundena aferall mate?

@"T Clark" @"180 Proof" Makoto Fujimura on Emily Dickinson

Even if you were a dick for saying it, it doesn't mean he wasn't not taking it seriously.

In other words, you have a flip phone.

Similarly to how @"Tom Storm" eats his Chef Boyardee, you just put the pigs in a blender to create a hot dog-esque consistency. This causes them to ho...

You should just buy a food processor. Buy a full case of Chef Boyardee, blend it in batches, freeze half, put the rest in Tupperware in the fridge, an...

Is that a Super Bowl snack tradition in the Clark household?

One would think so, but the use of the double "i" is simply a nod to how high the brow is set when it comes to pasta. Try "eternal".

Similarly to oysters, raviolii (plural) are generally considered to be at peak when the transit time between source and destination is as short as pos...

Growing up my brother did enjoy Chef Boyardee (ravioli I think?) but being the insufferable sophisticate I've always been, I much preferred the mac n'...

Ironically I had visions of posting this weird looking biodegradable fork that was included in a recent food delivery I received.
