joethefoodie Posted April 13 Share Posted April 13 Will do. I liked that Remnick wrote the Comment and that he found a perfect quote from E.B. White. That sense of continuity is reassuring right now. So I read the Remnick piece aloud to Significant Eater at breakfast this morning, and couldn't get through it without crying a bit. And then more when I decamped to the kitchen, alone. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
joethefoodie Posted April 13 Share Posted April 13 And I think I stood and looked at Las Meninas for a good 15 minutes. So much to see in that museum, I only hope I can go back one day. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
voyager Posted April 13 Share Posted April 13 So I read the Remnick piece aloud to Significant Eater at breakfast this morning, and couldn't get through it without crying a bit. And then more when I decamped to the kitchen, alone. I have given up trying to read poignant pieces to Chuck. I just hand him the section and leave the room. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Wilfrid Posted April 18 Share Posted April 18 The profile of Fauci is fascinating. I had no idea about his role in the AIDS crisis. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

small h Posted April 18 Share Posted April 18 I worked at Beth Israel in the early 90's, as an administrative assistant to the chief of infectious diseases. My boss ran the clinical trials for AIDS patients, when AZT was still called ZDV. She and Tony Fauci spoke pretty much every day. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Steve R. Posted April 19 Share Posted April 19 Did I catch a reference by Stephen Colbert the other night that his father was Fauci's (not immediate) predecessor? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Sneakeater Posted April 21 Share Posted April 21 Fuck. So the reason my omelettes are sub-par is because I use a whisk instead of a fork? But I have a plastic (or rather some miracle material) whisk, whereas my forks are all metal. Yet I make my omelettes, as everyone tells me to, in a non-stick pan. If you're not a famous chef getting constant freebies (or deducting the cost of pans as a business expense), how do you use a fork to mess around eggs in a non-stick pan, without quickly ruining the pan? (I guess I need to find a miracle-material fork.) Quote Link to post Share on other sites
joethefoodie Posted April 21 Share Posted April 21 You use a properly seasoned carbon-steel omelet pan! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Anthony Bonner Posted April 21 Share Posted April 21 use a silicone spatula after using a fork in a bowl. You'll be fine - even if Joe is obviously correct. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Behemoth Posted April 21 Share Posted April 21 use a silicone spatula after using a fork in a bowl. You'll be fine - even if Joe is obviously correct.Yeah that’s what i do as well. The whisk is bad because it over-aerates the eggs (before they hit the pan.) And by the way I used to do them with a fork in a special seasoned non-non-stick pan. But then I got a life or something.

Wilfrid Posted April 23 Share Posted April 23 If you wanted an example of a singer with a "burly" voice, would you choose Robert Plant? Amanda Petrusich would. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
