  1. +Judy Ives Please stop conflating the word "religion" with American fundamentalist Christianity. That is a VERY specific and limited form of religion, and it has almost nothing to do with any other faith. It's so annoying when atheists claim "reason" and yet indulge in sloppy thinking and linguistic laziness. Grow up.

  2. Funny, I thought there wasn't enough onion. :D

  3. Amazing book, isn't it? Smell is such a difficult thing to convey, but Suskind really sinks you in that miasma. Just the first chapter made me want to curl up in a ball and never come out, LOL!

  4. I'm really puzzled here. Which video is he talking about? I've looked at the titles and I can't see anything controversial in them. ETA: Oh, wait.......... Oh, FFS!!!! NOW I see it. I didn't realize it before. Jeez, people can be ridiculous.

  7. Taper candles of this sort were not made with molds. They were dipped. Long lengths of wick are dipped into a deep pot of melted wax, lifted, allowed a moment to harden, then dipped again, over and over, until the candle is formed. Look for "taper candle dipping" here and on internet search to get pics and info. :)

  8. +One MercilessMing This is the reason why it used to be a social convention never to talk about religion or politics in mixed company - way too much potential for friction and misunderstandings.

  9. There's irony in a channel about old traditions shedding its original name, don't you think? It fit the subject much better before.

  10. My mom had an incredibly cool little pan she would half fill with water to boil. It had a metal frame that held little cups for the eggs. Water in pan, frame on, eggs in cups, lid on, boil - poached eggs! We would eat the eggs right out of the cooking cups. I'd give a lot to have that pan, but she got rid of it many years ago.

  11. How much cream? It looks like maybe a cup, but I can't be sure because the container is big and opaque. (Luckily there are Seville oranges here in SoCal, though I'll have to travel a bit to get them.)

  12. Beeswax possibly. It can be molded by hand. I wouldn't use paraffin as it's brittle and would have to be melted to make a seal, and then when you want to get eggs out it would break in pieces, making a mess. Then you'd have to melt more, etc. The beeswax doesn't need that, as it will soften with kneading.

  13. Me, too! I almost never used it before, but now I find myself sprinkling on a little just to see if it'll work, LOL.

  16. Have you abandoned the recipe blog, or has it been continued elsewhere? The last entry was in February of 2017. Is that the end of it?

  20. When I was a kid, my family would go down to Marineland and harvest the mussels, clams, and cockles from the cliffs at the beach. I remember how the gringos who saw us doing it would ask us what we were doing, and express amazement that some of that stuff could even be eaten. (Especially the cockles - those really freaked them out!) We would just smile and then take our haul home and have a backyard feast!

  21. So it's basically an American masala.

  24. The ancient Romans drank a mixture of vinegar and water called posca. If you were rich, you would add honey to it. It's actually very refreshing - I use seltzer to make mine, and on a hot day, it can really cool you off.
