Thing. The Honest Beef Company offers packages
such as the Osso Buco Share of
4 1.5 lb Shank Steaks (with marrow)
3 lbs of Marrow Bones for roasting
5 lbs Single-Animal, Dry-Aged Ground Beef

An Omaha Steak competitor, I guess....

For the more dollars than sense clientele.

Another bargain of sorts, the Luxe Steak Share -
One of the most deluxe assortments we offer: 13 lbs of
luxury. 2x 16oz Bone-In Ribeye Steaks; 4x 8oz Top Sirloin
Steaks; 3x 12oz New York Strips; 2lbs Bone-In Short Ribs;
2x 16oz Shank Steaks.
It's $260 for the lot (qualifies for free shipping), only
$20/lb, but note that at least 2 of those pounds are
bone, and it doesn't take a genius to note that $20/lb
for bone-in short ribs and "shank steaks" is not a
terrific bargain.

Apparently there are enough gullible sorts that they make a living off
it.... ;0 At Wegmans, it's only a couple of bucks or so a pound...
much more reasonable for bones... ;)

The Nigerian scammers of the food world.

Part of why I'm not baking any more... ;)

And I'm just starting to get back to that
kind of thing.

Maybe I will, eventually....

One of these days I'll stop procrastinating, too!
And be decisive, maybe.

Yup.... ;)

Or not.

The uninformed will make that mistake once.
The lazy will do it a hundred times.

I'd modify that to "the uninformed will make the mistake only until they become informed"... Until they realize that it really is a mistake, there's no reason to change....

Using dried garlic to try for fresh garlic flavor
(or vice versa) ... it takes only one experience
for someone with the ghost of a palate.

I was thinking more of someone that doesn't realize what fresh garlic is supposed to taste like....

In which case no loss to them.

Try a thousand times, win the lottery once, you're
alwys a winner. In others' eyes anywy.

Probably because they've tried two thousand times and still haven't won once.... ;)

Prosperity is just around the corner.

That's how they sell the tickets.... "It only takes a dollar....and a
dream"

And a million tries later, bingo. It's
as I said recently, if at first you don't
succeed, fail, fail again.

That's what studies are good for, with the caveats
that we've described (subject selection, short vs.
long view, observer bias, and so on).

Indeed. :)

One problem of course is that scientists are affected
by the same selfish desires and aspirations that any
other professional is guided by - including politicians.
priests, physicians, prostitutes, provisioners.

Turns out that the one banned in the US is the safest
and most effective - cyclamates. It's almost as if the
FDA took the results of the aluminum saucepan study and
amplified them and banned Mirro and Club ware forever.

I don't remember if I had a problem with the cyclamates before they were banned...

To me they/it didn't taste as bad as saccharin, which
at the time was the major competitor.

We once got a Christmas gift of a groupon from a close friend for live
lobster from Maine. I believe it cost her $60 and claimed to be a $100
value. When we looked it up on the web, we found out that that would
entitle us to about 4 pounds of lobster, but shipping would be an
additional $40. In searching further we discovered other companies who
offered about the same amount of lobster for less than $50 with free
shipping. I.E. the groupon coupon was a *BIG* scam. We never said
anyting about it, but our reaction at the time was to compare it to the
Omaha beef rip-off.

These days, when we feel like having a lobster dinner, we get a 3 pound
lobster from Wegmans and have them steam it for us. Still hot by the
time we get it home. Cost $35 to $40. A single 3 pound lobster has a
lot more meat than a pair of 1 1/2 pound bugs.

Title: Spicy Eggplant Salad (Bonjan) From Afghanistan
Categories: Indian, Afghan, Salads
Yield: 1 Servings

3 md Eggplants
1/4 ts Pepper
2 1/2 ts Coarse (kosher salt)
1 ts Hot red chili flakes, or
Minced fresh chiles
1/4 c Corn oil
2 ts Ground cinnamon
1 1/2 c Tomato sauce
1 tb Crushed dried mint

Slice the eggplants crosswise into 1,5 inch thick pieces. Sprinkle
them with 2 tsp. coarse salt and let stand for 15 minutes. rinse
eggplants under cold water, which removes the bitter taste, rinse,
and dry well on a towel.

Heat the oil in a skillet and lightly brown eggplant slices over
moderate heat for 3 minutes. Remove and put into a serving bowl. Cool.

Put the tomato sauce, pepper, chile, cinnamon, mint and 1/2 tsp.
salt, if wanted, in a pan. Simmer over low heat for 10 minutes, which
is long enough to integrate the flavors. Pour this over the eggplant;
refrigerate until ready to use. The salad can remain in the
refrigerator for several days. Serve cold or at room temperature.
Yield: 8 servings.
