They must have improved. These are a nice texture. I'm not nearly as big a popcorn eater as my late husband was. It will probably be quite a while before I get an urge to make some.

Well, it's nice to have an idea of quantities, so you can have a better idea of how many people it will feed. Unless it looks outrageous, it's nice to try the recipe as written at least once. If not, you can't blame the recipe.

Yup, that's Chef John. There is even a piece about him on Wikipedia. I never thought of trying the hover trick on any other recipe site. I hope it works. But, I only noticed it on that Danish site because, all the ingredients that have the pop up window, are underlined, like a link.

I have a hot air popper. I like that popcorn, but I do put melted butter on it. :yum:

Yup, really. But, I don't mind that on one of my Danish recipe sites. When one of their recipes has amounts written like that, you can almost always hover your cursor over the amount and small window pops up with the average size or weight for the ingredient in Denmark. You even see that for...

I had plans for more of those thin pork chops. But, when I got to the kitchen, it just seemed like more effort than it was worth. But, I did fancy some eggs and toast, so that's what it was. I fried two sunny side up eggs, but I put a lid on the skillet, so the white over the yolk would get...

I'll give that a try. I have been making buttercream frosting since I started baking. Back in the day, I used margarine. But, then I decided that butter was not only better tasting, it was probably healthier. We just called it quick or easy frosting. It wasn't until I joined this forum that I...

Would that be like the butter cream you are used to, but just with the replaced by cream cheese?

Dragn, I'm really interested in hearing how it goes with your lemongrass. I'm curious how much it will grow over one summer. If it will survive a winter indoors, stuff like that. Oh, and how you like it when you harvest some.

I don't think those are actually cockles. The ones that dragn showed don't seem to have ribs on the shells. According to Wikipedia, many small bivalves that look like cockles are locally called cockles. All the pictures of cockles on Wikipedia show ribs on the outside of the cockle shells.

Like the one at the very bottom, eh?

I don't think I ever noticed which eye I use to look through a viewfinder. But, I am right handed and my left eye is dominant.

Yeah, at some point, I need to get a decent digital camera. That will be a whole project and lots of learning.
