My new goal in life, Octopus casserole. Secondary goal, be able to spell casserole without using spellcheck, a random a keeps on sneaking in. TBS (E-F)

It is a perfectly cromulent word ;) I like my sentence there, notice I also managed to incorporate the forum name into it. My ways are subtle but never perfidious. TBS (E-F)

I went with mussels, also woke up the sourdough starter for a loaf to go with them to sop up the juice. I had some fresh curry leaves leftover from my goat curry experiment earlier in the week, and man, fresh curry leaves are an amazing ingredient. I tend to fall in love with one ingredient and...

I can tell you simple, GG that anything I discuss, cooking wise, does not come from either an ill intent, or a perfidious motivation. I hope that reassures you. TBS (E-F)

Darn, left out the cheese! Yes, it should have one cup shredded swiss cheese, and one cup shredded Asiago. I add it slowly to the milk, just under a simmer, until it is all melted and such. This is why I really have to go through and type up all my recipes. I have a beat up leather journal...

It is going to be a blast, though there are some challenges. This is going to be the first time we have done a backpacking trip that involves a plane ride and all that entails. Usually I have my car which, while not quite at the level of Casey and RP's trailers, is kind of a mobile store of...

I completely should just buy a vacuum sealer. Given the amount of backpacking we do, given the fact I buy in bulk stuff and like to prepare ahead stuff like beans etc... There is really no reason I shouldn't have one. Would save me a bunch of time too wrapping everything in freezer paper and...

Usually I try to hide behind the couch... I get found almost every time!

So my natural question now is can I make an Octopus casserole? What would such a thing look like? Is it worth doing?

I kind of think I was doing the yeast's job after making my goat curry. It came out well, but I underestimated the effect of good fresh curry leaves on my anatomy! Of course the yeast fairies are both male and female. They put their wand on the starch molecules, because, science, and turn the...

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Colman%27s_(brand) Gotta go with Coleman's Mustard, the mustardiest mustard in mustard town. TBS (E-F)

Andy and GG, I really should never, then, tell you about my theory that yeast are actually tiny little men, that I have to keep happy, otherwise my bread fails. ;) T

Oh I misspelled on porpoise. Lets just make sure our tuna casserole is dolphin safe ;), actually got a good casserole dish? You did open the door my Jersey Shore friend. Todd's Awesome Tuna Casserole 16 oz cooked pasta, your choice, I like Rotini 12 oz chunk tuna, drained A pound of frozen...

Heck you guys can see the whole trip, that was our Eclipse trip, Congaree NP South Carolina https://goo.gl/photos/HUS4wjjuxXMVoH5e6

Nice looking teardrop! I'm not there yet, but when I pull the trigger on moving from a tent camper to a trailer guy, that is the kind of vibe I'm into. Not like your rig RP is a slouch, At the moment we still rock the tent...

GG, because it is convenient to think of it that way? Do you review particle physics every time you use a microwave? Not like I am intentionally misleading people here. TBS (E-F)

NEVER go grocery hungry, particularly on a Sunday morning. ;)

Mr. Reston and I are totally on the same page. Best wishes. TBS (E-F)

Dry ice is a wonderful thing if you pack it correct. It is a tool a lot of campers and backpackers don't know about. I always go for 'a bit more luxurious than the typical back country camping excursion'. Sometimes I get there, sometimes we eat MREs in the rain. Was thinking of dry ice and...

yeah that looks like freezer burn and is probably fine.

Every single time I use plastic bags, I get freezer burn. I use freezer paper, the wax lined kind, and wrap them up tight with masking tape. Got some meat on sale, about to wrap up fifteen pounds of ground meat and a lot of chicken into one pound portions. Not together of course. TBS (E-F)

Yes, I can do this. Foil, no parchement, but I think I can do something close with what I have here.

Nice truck and trailer. We love RV campers, as long as they don't keep their generator running all night and keep us up. Yes, Mountain House, cheese and hard salami are definitely on the possible menu. I kind of want it good, particularly our NY eve diner, I have a fantastic wife who I adore...

So I am in a very good place grocery wise. I have both mussels and salmon. My mussel game is good, have broth, have leeks, we are fine. What can I do with a nice cut of salmon that is unique? It is snowing and I don't want to leave the house. I have lemons, a shite ton of garlic, but don't want...

I agree with this up there. And, totally knew as soon as I hit post, someone would say something like, 'microwave ovens don't really cook from the inside out', Let my comment stand not as a description of the physics of it, but a convenient mental cheat I use to conceptualize the difference...
