LOL, same here taxy!
I only knew it as I saw it on another packing and looked into it a bit. So did they actually had the warning on the older ones? I don't know but I always think of it when using my glass dishes for the oven - Pyrex or not.

For all I know, they didn't write it on the packaging for the older stuff. Maybe we were taught not to use glass under the broiler in cooking class in school or maybe it was just common sense. There are a lot more warnings on packages nowadays than there used to be. Some of them make you wonder why they even need to tell you.
 
That looks delicious. I wish there was a recipe for that.
It's a simple dish of Beef & Vegetable stir fry over cooked Lo Mein Noodles and garnished with a boat load of fresh Green Onions. Give it a go! I got this as a take-away, but I make something like this too with what ever Beef I have, sliced super thin, whatever veg I have, stir fry it all up and add a sauce, this is the one I use all the time:
 
Linguine with pancetta and minced clams. This was one of the first things I made when I started to cook in Italy. My father in law made me mince clams that came in 100 ounce cans. He was Calabrian so the dish was spicy. I use hot pancetta.

My DH is of Calabrian descent, but Clams are out for him. I'd never that to use Hot Pancetta for him and Clams for Moi, great idea, Mahalo, thanks Roch!!
 
Isn't it funny how many of y'all had some kind of noodle dish?
I consider Pasta, any sort, a type of noodle and I'm a carb-freak to boot!
@dragnlaw you reminded me that I need to get some fresh Sage for another round of DH's birthday present Cheese ravs from NYC... or can I use dried Sage in it's place?
HMMMM
Well, I have until Suday, that's our Pasta Night here in Cowboyville Arizona.
 
If you have whole dried Sage leaves I don't see why not. I'm trying to remember if I have or not. I almost always have it in the garden, so other than deep winter time I have plenty.
Just brown your butter, then off the heat, drop in your leaves to soak up the butter. (Drool just thinking of it.) Give it a bit to sort of infuse some flavour to the butter.
It gets crispy when you're cooking it in the butter. It's not going to sizzle as the water is obviously already gone in the dried leaves, so I guess you can think of it as one step ahead!
 
Some of them make you wonder why they even need to tell you.
yeah, except there are always newbies who just don't know. After all, I don't think they have "cooking classes" or "home ec" anymore in schools, do they?
It's also called "cover your a$$", no? In a sue happy world of people who want to score off of their own stupid actions, you can hardly blame them.
 
Absolutely! but in a pinch?
Is disappointing for the most part and not very controllable. I'd rather find another option like thyme or marjoram and lemon zest with those options work well. Dried sage is just too unpredictable and enough time is generated just making a decent ravioli for example to gamble, lemon thyme works for me, especially in brown butter.
 
OK, good! thanks for that. I'll have to remember.
I have both 'regular' thyme and lemon thyme... but I think it is now a mixed marriage as I can't smell the lemon anymore.
 
@pictonguy I bought a small "clam shell" of fresh Sage leaves, but knowing that I won't be able to use it all up before it goes bad, I dehydrate the left over leaves in the microwave, cool completely and then they go into a small Mason Jar.
Would dehydrated Sage Leaves work in place of fresh?
And yes, the Cheese Raviolis that I ordered online from a small Italian Shop in NYC where not cheap and very good!

I'm probably the wrong person to ask. Generally I only use fresh herbs, there are a few exceptions but fresh sage is available all year around in the herb section of just about every supermarket I've ever been in and the difference is very noticeable not to mention the crunch and visual differences. Will it work, sure it will and that's up to you whether the difference is worth it. Maybe save the dried sage for a seasoning mix for chicken for example, which works really well for that application, imo.:)
 
I generally don't dry herbs that I know I won't use up before they go off. If I remember, I freeze them. Many of them will work great flavourwise from frozen. They won't make attractive looking garnish though.
I always freeze fresh herbs when I know I won't use them again for a while. It's so handy having parsley, basil, celery readily available. That reminds me, I should gather all the basil leaves from my outdoor basil pot plants and freeze them, before the cold destroys them.
At fruit/veg stores they usually give you a small bunch of herbs, free of charge, when you buy lots of their products all at once! 🙂
 
Yes,, I should be doing the same Meryl. Another chore on my to do list! Seems to me every time I cross something off the list 2 more get added.
Ha! must be getting better, yesterday I crossed off 7 and I've added only 8. But it's not even 6 am, so there could be more added.

Got it bookmarked. Thank you!
