cv91915 Posted July 20, 2018 Author Share Posted July 20, 2018 (edited) I was about to reorder some of my favorite salt to use on grilled pork chops (bhut jolokia sea salt), and then as I was about to put a 4-ounce package into my shopping card it struck me that $4 an ounce seems like a lot for salt. https://www.myspicesage.com/bhut-jolokia-sea-salt-p-1026.html Edited July 20, 2018 by cv91915 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I never manage to get there. https://www.atlasobscura.com/places/alinea-restaurant Fully booked the weekend I'll be in town in September. I wonder if the Amex Platinum concierge can get us in.

I need to find out if I can use it at the bar, and just drink my dinner. Would have rather been given a Morton’s GC with no money loaded to it. Would have been less insulting.

cv91915 Posted July 28, 2018 Author Share Posted July 28, 2018 A very good friend of mine who has notoriously bad taste in food (and a sense of humor about it) just sent me a picture of a recipe she's making today. I'm a little surprised that she chose to make something with so many ingredients. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IndyPoolPlayer Posted July 29, 2018 Share Posted July 29, 2018 Was grilling some hamburgers on the front of the grill, sweet corn in the husk on the warmup rack. Flipped the first couple patties and had a grease flareup. Set the corn husk aflame. When using the tongs to grab the corn to put the flame out the grease off another patty flared up and the resulting flame singed the hair on my knuckles and back of the hand. Ouch. Thing is I have a grilling mitt hanging right next to the tongs. But I thought I wouldn't need that..... no not at all. -- And some of you probably think I would have callouses on my hands from being a knuckle dragger - that is not the case.
