First pesto of the season.
Saved a little of the basil and the next night made Marcella Hazan’s boiled rice (I use originario) with butter, basil, mozzarella, and Reggiano.

My contribution to a grand aioli: potatoes, summer squash, carrots, salt cod, eggs. Planning to make brandade from the leftovers.

I tried J. Kenzi Lopez-Alt’s recommendation of roasting at 150 F. Four-pound Flannery prime rib roast took three hours to get to 117 F. To me it seemed perfectly medium-rare all the way through.

Is this the current home cooking thread or the other one?
I think the other one is the current annual one where are more regular posts
They’re both current. Chowhound used to have annual topics due to technical limitations so people started doing the same thing here, even though Discourse doesn’t suck. This topic is better if you want to be able to search for your old posts, which I do.

I see. I find the discord search so much more effective than CH that the annual separation is more an organizational tool.
(What I have found a problem with long threads and discord search is that it will find the first instance of something in a thread, but not later ones.)
If you search within a topic, it will find all occurrences.
Real raw-milk Camembert, illegal in the US. Maybe RFK Jr. can do one thing that’s not idiotic.
Got some gorgeous Romanos at the Bio Coop.

back in Berkeley: mashed Diane sweet potatoes with Full Belly green beans cooked like Romanos (beans were weirdly tough, took hours of simmering to get tender)
another night: orecchiette with broccolini, pecorino, and chile flakes

I was curious if you remember anything about the burger Jeremiah Tower’s had on the menu at Star’s? On his substack he talked about how Steven Vranian developed the burger blend but I was curious as to the rest of it. Thought it might be fun to try and recreate it at home

I don’t think I ever ate at Stars. I went to the place next door, Stars Cafe.
