This is what heaven must be like.
Dan - Sounds like you're having a good time in NYC, a city that I love. Though I wasn't born or raised there, I lived there in Manhattan for several years. After relocating from NYC many years ago, I still manage to get there around 6 times a year. As you found out, Arthur St. in the Bronx is a...- dls1

Anyone else make aged eggnog?
Sorry for the delay in getting back to you but I finally saw the bartender who makes the 1 year aged eggnog last night and he told me that in addition to the Fortaleza anejo tequila, he also uses Amontillado dry sherry. When blending the two, the the volume of sherry is 50% of the volume of...- dls1

Country Ham Research
CP... I read your thread and noticed something missing in your commentary. Did you, or did you not, soak the hams before preparing and serving? To me, that's a mandatory first step when preparing a country ham. The ham must be completely submerged in water, and refrigerated for 2-4 days... -
Medical Insurance
Brian, Maybe I wasn't clear enough in my prior post, but if your current doctor isn't taking any ACA Market Place plans as of 1/1/2026, there isn't for you to "find". As such you and your current doctor will be parting ways, and you need to find a new one that accepts a plan acceptable to you.- dls1

Medical Insurance
Brian, I just went through this thread for the first time, and it seems to me that the solution to your problem is pretty simple to solve. Based on what you've been told the current medical practice that you are a patient of will not be accepting the insurance that you have, effective 1/1/2026...- dls1

What in the Sweet Baby Jesus is going on? Meat prices.
In the past,Canada and Mexico have historically been dominant suppliers of beef to the US, largely due to their geographic proximity and the complementary nature of their cattle and beef industries. They've also benefited from the U.S.-Mexico-Canada Agreement (USMCA), though I don't know what...- dls1

Anyone else make aged eggnog?
SSB - nice sounding recipe, and thanks for sharing. I, for one, have always detested eggnog. One of those Christmas items, along with fruitcake, that should just disappear. That said, last year, just before Christmas I stopped by the local pub and the bartender asked me if I wanted to dry their...- dls1

PigSkin Pick Em for 2025 (football)
Thanks for the rely. I assumed it was NFL but some NCAAF pools drop the so-called "first week" because of the staggered start of many schools.- dls1

Goat meat
We love goat, which can be prepared in many different forms. While many compare it to lamb, I find goat meat's flavor more intense, and in a good way . Throughout much of the world, goat meat is considered the most popular meat, but not so in the US. More so in Asia, Africa, the Caribbean, and...- dls1

Primo Action-Tuna & Asparagus
Looks great, philpom. Coincidentally, we served the same last night for dinner though I cooked the tuna steaks differently than you did. I seasoned the steaks then cooked them sous vide at 115F for 35 minutes, followed by a quick sear. As you did, I also served them with asparagus along with... -

Butifarra Soledeña
I first encountered butifarra in while wandering through the aisles of Barcelona's iconic market, La Boqueria. While in the pork section, there was a stand selling butifarra. I placed an order and received a plate with 2 links, each about 6" in length. Accompanying the sausage was a serving of a... -
Looking for a new Sous vide cooker
The first thing I'd recommend is to contact Anova and explain your issue. They may replace the unit like they did for me about 6 years ago when a circulator I had crapped out due mainly to my own stupidly. If not, I recommend getting another Anova unit.- dls1

Butifarra Soledeña
Excellent post, IAC. Very well done. I've had butifarra before, but that was in Catalonia, Spain. Great street vendor snack. Where in Colombia are from? Starting back in the 1980's, I traveled there many times in the past, but not to Soledad. Primarily Bogata, Medellin, and Cartagena. Love the...
