lupinelle's Profile

Seriously, you worked at Murray's and you are surprised that something with rind breakdown that was packed in a cryovac wasn't good? Come on.

Curtido - the Salvadoran cabbage relish. We keep it around even when we don't make pupusas, because it makes a great taco topping and is great on the side with all sorts of things.

Don't forget about Elsie De Wolfe, who had a significant hand in popularizing chintz in the early 1900s.

"nuts to bolts" <--- I think what you mean to say is "soup to nuts."

Poltergeist. When it first came out on LaserDisc, which tells you exactly how old I am. And no, I wouldn't watch it again, or any horror movie, for that matter...the downside to having a very strong visual memory is that any horror scene I'm exposed to is in there for good.

Jen, I asked my mother-in-law, who speaks Turkish, and she said the following::

I bet that what the woman ate in Istanbul resembles shirin polo with chicken. That's a Persian sweet rice pilav with orange, dried fruit, and nuts. But if she was in Istanbul and it was called Şerazad something, then I think that the writer and the woman who answered were both doing Internet searches for Sheherazade chicken, but the recipe as described would be for Sheherazade pilav.

"When I search for Turkish recipes for Sh. chicken, I mostly find references to restaurants in London & Australia for chicken with potatoes and beets. When I search for Sh. pilav, I find recipes which resemble shirin polo. Here's one from Lezzet, which is a Turkish cookery magazine."

Ingredients:

500 g baldo rice (this is short grain rice, like arborio)
75 g of butter
1 cup sunflower oil
125 grams of dried grapes
60 g toasted sliced ​​almonds
2 grated orange peel
1 cup of orange concentrate
Salt
Hot-water

Preparation of rice prince

Taste of recipes pilafs are a great example of a special place. Stay in a pot rice extract. Stir in the salt. Add hot water to pass through a finger on it and soak for 1 hour. Gently mix the rice in a separate pot, wash the filter with the help of plenty of water and drain well.

Rice pot heat the butter and sunflower oil transfer. Add rice and cook for 10 minutes. Add chicken to boiling water, stir in the grated orange peel and saffron. And boil for 15 minutes.

Stir in salt and orange juice, grapes, and add a boil over 4 minutes faster. Cook over low heat for 15 minutes, remove from heat. Steep for 20 minutes, wait, fried almonds into the mix and serve.

This isn't a budget suggestion, but if you want something with twisted-rope seats to invest in for the long haul, another option would be Niels Moller chairs.

My folks bought theirs in the 60s, and they're still kicking, having had the rope seats replaced once.

We had a bit of bacterial speck early, but judicious trimming and once-a-week use of OxiDate seems to have kept it at bay thus far, knock wood. We haven't pulled in anything except a handful of Romas, but we're near Pittsburgh, our plants went in a little late, and it's been hot and dry, so I'm not surprised. They've put out some significant growth in the last week or so, and expect we'll start to harvest some fruit next week. Our squash plants are predictably going bananas, though...our neighbors are going to stop answering their doors soon.

You know, I've seen so many pastel 1980s abstract paintings and have never thought they'd be able to not look totally dated, but on that hot pink wall that one works very well. Quite an accomplishment.

The linens that I can see look pretty, but create an account or login with facebook to see what you have for sale? Nope, you lost me there.

Definitely a better layout, but this reads less "old world glamour" and more "1970s French Provincial" to me.
