custard powder is most commonly seen as Bird's custard- it's a short, squat tin with a red top. you can find it at cost plus or most higher end grocery stores with an (British) import section.

you can also use a deep slotted spoon to hold an egg while poaching. ruhlman posted a primer on it this morning.

totally unnecessary. the small, round glasslock or pyrex containers do the same thing without absorbing any onion smell.

this is my neighborhood too! it's been so refreshing to see the gardens pop up along Octavia and on Fell. there are more empty patches closer to Market that I hope turn into gardens as well.

parsley. parsley. parsley.

I will say though, I now know how someone can vehemently hate an herb. I once had a kitchen failure with a particularly bad soup using a Bittman recipe that featured sage. I can't smell sage now without wanting to wretch.

I would love to keep my cooling racks, cutting boards and other large accouterments in a basket on the floor, but a particularly hairy feline creature in my home produces dust bunnies that collect in the kitchen.

does anyone have another suggestion? cabinet space is at a premium. right now, cutting boards are stored on a cart, cooling racks are stored behind the cart (and covered in hair) and most large utensils are on top of the cupboards.

perhaps they don't have driving licenses, or parking in the neighborhood is less than ideal...or maybe they just wanted to move by bike. why does it matter to anyone but them?

good on them for something different.

Spray bottle with 1:1 ratio of white vinegar to water and a scrubbie sponge has always worked for me.

This mixture also works well for deodorizing cutting boards, cleaning granite counter tops and just about anything else. The vinegar smell dissipates in a few minutes and leaves the kitchen smelling like nothing as opposed to the chemical-lemon smell most cleansers have.
