Thanks for the tips. I’m looking forward to trying this again in another week or two.

My wife and I made this for dinner tonight, all because you posted it here. Thanks for the idea!

We added some mushrooms and served it over some brown rice. I had to hand grind some coriander - surprise, we were out of ground.

I do wish I’d simmered it a bit longer and been a bit more thorough with breaking up the tomatoes. They didn’t mesh with the rest of the dish as well as I’d hoped. I might use diced tomatoes next time.

The eggs also took longer to cook up than I expected. After 5 minutes, they were clearly still raw. But I might have overcorrected: when we served the dish, they were fully cooked, not runny at all. It was fairly hard to gauge. I don’t cook with eggs much.

An empty plate is vegan?

A vegan will surely go hungry at a steakhouse.

Chicken Bastilla sounds like a meal out of Knights of the Old Republic

Hey, maybe they just want to eat a lot of it.

Oh, the scale isn’t apparent from the photo. I was thinking these were more like 10 inches in diameter. In that case, yeah, no clue.

Colanders?

The cause of, and solution to, life’s problems!

Why do you think it’s bad? What analogy would you use instead?

Comparing it to email highlights the decentralized nature vs things like Facebook or Twitter where the whole service is one website. It’s not a perfect analogy, but …that’s why it’s just an analogy.

Heh, I’m upvoting you anyway for taking the time…and for good attitude in this reply

Email isn’t owned by a company, either. Maybe bring that up?

When we both inevitably go to

hell’s kitchen?

for our culinary sins

I just put a box fan in the window and secure it with a bungee cord, lol. Cheap af.

I pay close attention to the wind when I’m opening windows overnight. It works pretty well for most of the summer.

What are they feeding them?!

Is that you, Quark?

Shouldn’t you get back to your bar? I heard Rom was giving … discounts!

Personally, I think you just proved their point. Anything they know from talking to people who know things is immediately dismissed with “oh, it’s anecdotal at best”.

I saw “baguettes” in the title and thought “catloaf?”

No, it’s actual bread! 😂

Ha, 1319 was the one that came up when I did a search for this!

Funny, garbanzo beans are probably my favorite. Total opposite!

We have a chickpea casserole, a roasted halloumi and root veg + chickpeas recipe, and a “marry me chickpeas” dish that we particularly like at my house. They’ve become a staple in the menu here over the past year.

We also like black beans for a number of things. We like pinto beans too, but it’s harder to find uses for them.

And it’s opened my mind to looking for other ways to work smarter, which is invaluable in itself.

100% agreed. The straight up time tradeoff doesn’t account for the benefits of the learning experience.
