    When making brown butter I like to add milk powder to get
    browner, nuttier brown butter.
    A good enough idea, for those who have milk powder.
    I keep it on hand sometimes to add to liquid milk along with cream
    when making yogurt.

    A good enough idea, for those who make yogurt. Which
    reminds me, is homemade sour cream a viable idea? I
    know that creme fraiche is easily doable.

    Nonfat or full fat?
    I have never come across anything but skim milk powder. I didn't
    know there was such a thing as full fat milk powder.

    I think there always was, but its shelf life was much
    shorter because the fat tended to rancidize. I suspect
    recent advances in stabilization and vacuum packaging
    have made it more attractive.

    Interesting place. Drew Nieporent is the executive chef behind
    the concept, but guess who was the financier?
    I couldn't guess and had to look it up. I'm not surprised by that
    though as a lot of Hollywood celebrities, athletes and musicians
    have restaurants and bars in their investment portfolio and they are
    usually high quality ones. There are exceptions though: Tim Horton's
    comes to mind.

    Venturing a guess that places that rely on the name
    recognition of the headliner are more suspect than
    Tribeca Grill, which after all isn't called De Niro's
    Chophouse or anything like that. Reminds me of the old
    supposed intelligence test question of "how do you
    pronounce cho pho use?" and the answer supposedly, no,
    silly, chophouse! Which is bogus of course. You pronounce
    cho pho use cho pho use.

    This got me thinking about such people and so now I have Jimmy
    Buffet playing in the background.

    I was not superimpressed by Margaritaville.

    P.S. I just found a basically empty can of whipped cream
    in the fridge, so I did the sensible thing and huffed it.
    Disappointment - the high lasted an even shorter time than
    normal and was of very low quality (more like half a beer
    than the expected minute-long trip down the rabbit hole).
    The main effect was that it made my lungs hurt.
