I join in celebrating the Miracle of the Double Bacon! The auspices are in our favor.
Today for my birthday Dylan and one of my best friends organized a two-hour Zoom call where I think 20 or 30 of my friends and relatives just hung out and talked. I knew something like that was being planned, but I hadn't expected anything like so many to show up and it was completely wonderful
I love Salt, Fat, Acid, Heat...I haven't made many of the recipes but I just like reading it. And the illustrations are wonderful.
Happy Birthday Susan! 50 isn't nearly as old as it used to seem.
I emailed Gud yesterday. No response as of yet.
Happy birthday, Susan! That sounds nice.
That ALSO sounds nice, meara!
I am super excited because I am going to the movies tonight! My cousin's husband rented out a theater as a gift for her, so eight of us (three households) are going to watch A Christmas Story and eat popcorn!!!

Just from watching her videos and her Netflix show I've adopted a lot of her principles. Most of the things I cook are from my own devising (instead of a recipe) and I'm not afraid to balance a sauce with a capful of Balsamic, or use Soy sauce when basting my chicken (recommend!). I've got a whole bunch of umami tricks up my sleeve now in the never ending search for deeper, richer flavors.

That's wonderful! What a treat! And it'd be so fun to see that particular movie in a theater again.
I have Salt, Fat, Acid, Heat, but I haven't given it a thorough read yet.
Jesse - that's awesome! Enjoy.
OK, I feel good about my purchase -- thank you all for your input re: the Salt, Fat, Acid Heat. Now I'll sit here and drum my fingers until it gets here. (Not really. But I am looking forward to it.)
Today has been remarkably productive, chore-wise. Kitchen cleaned, second load of laundry just finished, litter box refreshed, trash taken out (those two are connected), and several games of online cribbage, too. Nice. Well, the last one's not a chore, just nice to have some distraction in there.
My pain is much better. I'm going to go outside today and see how I feel using the hand controls on my car. I don't think I'd be able to drive long distances, but it would be helpful if I could at least do the driving to and from school.
Great to hear that it's getting better, sj. Hope testing the controls works well for you.
