The food thread

Anyone else growing 2018-season tomatoes from seed?

Our seedlings in USDA Zone 9b are three weeks old and have started to show true leaves in addition to cotyledons. I imagine we'll transplant to 4" pots in another week, and out into the Earthbox clones on Tax Day.

Following the suggestions in the "Epic" book by Craig LeHoullier, Ph.D. Especially the "INTENSE" evaluations.
 
I did see a great roadshow (1st of three) where a Scottish comedian is traveling (by train) thru USA and he paid a visit to Matt's Bar i Minneapolis where the Worlds best Juicy Lucy is made. Sounds like a place to add to the "to-visit list":
Welcome to Matt's Bar - Home of the original Jucy Lucy!

I had a photo somewhere showing the broccoli gratin with bacon I made me this week but I am to lacy to dig it up right now.
 
Very keen to know abouth Cal's red magic drink 🙂

Today for lunch i did Zucchini stuffed with a combo of minced beed and grated parmigiano, topping was a red wine based tomato salsa. Miss Groove liked it a lot, all gone.😱

I had a lovely T-Bone steak with Ranch Dressing this morning. I had an apple for breakfast.

Cooked to perfection as always, I always cook it just enough so that it starts dripping clear liquid and then give it another 5 mins to char and turn it off. It makes it juicy and easy to cut but not burnt and remains flavourful but not undercooked.

I did not know that abouth onions, but use them always fresh. Today prepared a special marinade for satay thai, the pork meat needs at least 2 days to cure.

Here a variant of tuna sashimi, some scallops with guacamole and a couscous with boletus, weekend foodwith friends

Jack, flu part makes no sense as it doesn't have anything to replicate if it's a human targeting virus. Bacteria of course, but that's across the board. If your wife has any dirty of papers that describe that it's unique to onions I'd love to see them, as that reads a bit counterintuitive. Willing to learn.

Frank, you're one of the few people that can make zucchini look really good.
