Oh, lord, I hope this doesn't turn out like the Chowhound lasagna thread.

I think you're probably out of the woods.

Mrs. C!

Mine's impervious to everything but Actual Meat.

There you go.

Bad taste is at least a stance.

Leftoverpalooza continues. The extra red pepper from the crudite and the extra basil from the Greek goddess dip went into this pesto sauce for shrimp. Balcony mustard greens are not technically left over, unless they're left over from summer, and sure, why not. With blue cheese vinaigrette.

Chickpeas do not keep it a secret when they go bad. Give them a sniff.

So much mystery.

Then why would a restaurant cop to using it, as this implies?

And you'll get to start very fresh for 2024.

Oh! I had not considered that possibility. I have also not considered the possibility that a restaurant menu would list MSG as an ingredient, so obviously I am very sheltered. Anyway, I'm sorry you had food that hates you.

After yesterday's mimosamania, I have an open bottle of Prosecco in the fridge. So! I made two of these; it's a French 150.

Did you prepare it yourself, or were you served it in a restaurant?

Thanks for the report! I've heard mixed reviews - maybe it's settled into a good groove.

I am a fan, and it doesn't give me any trouble. Unfortunately, I decided to try the Impossible Whopper when it first came out, which was terrible, because Burger King is terrible.

Holiday brunch for the family and a few friends. 10 people in my living room! was a lot. But it went well, and I only have a ton of leftovers, instead of two tons.

Why put yourself through that?

A humble strata. And now I'm done with the Thanksgiving stuffing and spaghetti squash. Just in time for more leftovers!

Food shopping is done. Present shopping is done. House is en route to being clean. Laundry is in the dryer. Balcony is as attractive as it's gonna get, considering the plants are half dead. Happy Festivus!

Coffee and avocados, also, too. I buy local produce as much as I can, but I'm not a crazy person.

I go into my cabbage and cauliflower stage. I'm halfway there already.

4/5.

Il Pesce, Eataly Flatiron. It was good, just combative!
