Anyone here use agave as a sweetener? Any tips?
msbelle does, or at least has in the past, I'm pretty sure.
Now I can narrow down what fried potato product I want, and it's those damn brie and truffle disco fries. I should take comfort in the fact that I had both brie and potato chips in my lunch, but yet I do not.

NAPLES, Italy - A 74-year-old Italian grandmother who bought a sack of potatoes at her local market found a live grenade among the spuds.
“I found a bomb in the potatoes,” Olga Mauriello said.
“I went to the market to buy some potatoes, and that’s where the bomb was. But this bomb was covered in dirt, and I put it in water and got all dirt off. And then I realized, ‘It’s a bomb!’”
Police said the pine cone-shaped grenade, which had no pin and was still active, was the same type used by U.S. soldiers in Europe in World War II. Authorities believe the mix-up happened at a farm in France, where the grenade was plucked from the ground along with potatoes.
To the woman’s relief, police and explosives experts in the small town of San Giorgio a Cremano, near Naples, recovered the grenade and safely detonated it on Wednesday.

Just take the sack of potatoes and hurl them one at a time into an empty lot. No explosions? You're good. You might want to yell Incoming!
And if there is an explosion, probably saves some time grating.
Imagine that in a potato gun.
Those use air pressure, right?
thwoopBANG!
Anyone here use agave as a sweetener? Any tips?
Yeah, I do. What application?
I use it instead of sugar or honey in beverages, generally. About a third less of it than I'd use of the other. Haven't tried it for anything but that yet, though.
Has anyone here ever had foie gras? Is it tasty? or just desired because of its exclusive reputation?
Very tasty. Have you never had liverwurst? It's fancy, gussied up goose liverwurst.
Daisy Jane! They've got a caviar bar in the Ferry Building. You can get a variety of caviars in a variety of ways and a glass of champagne. It's a very deluxe experience.
