Got (Sour) Milk? I do, so I made my Sour Milk Coffee Cake again, which was a great opportunity to update the photos and recipe. Take a look! formerchef.com/2020/05/08/sou…

I made this dish last night for dinner from @nytfood using Atlantic Cod and it was fairly simple and tasted great! #recommended cooking.nytimes.com/recipes/102081…

What's the easiest way to make caramelized onions? In a slow cooker! It frees up your time and is practically foolproof! Plus, your house will smell delicious! formerchef.com/2021/01/25/how… #onions #caramelized #umami #recipes #formerchef #slowcooker #crockpot

Meet the Maple Cherry Charmer Cocktail! Kentucky bourbon, California winter oranges, real Vermont maple syrup, and cherries; I’m not sure you could make a more "American" cocktail. formerchef.com/2021/01/17/map… #cocktails #boubon #luxardo @ElevatedCraft

Got lemons? Make some preserved lemons! These can be used in couscous, vegetable dishes, salads, anywhere you want a little savory and tangy accent flavor. formerchef.com/2021/01/12/how… #lemons #cooking #Moroccanfood #recipes #howto

New! Corona Victory Garden update. Includes a bonus video of Mama Hummingbird feeding her baby (worth it, I promise)! formerchef.com/2020/05/11/cor… #gardening #pandemicplanting #victorygarden

@SheSimmers @pitchaya No, but I've added the book to my Audible list! The book I was referring to is called The Windup Girl. Set in the future but with recognizable Bangkok landmarks and culture. I enjoyed it.

@dave_sorensen @SheSimmers @TonsTweetings So that's a big nope! I recently read a sci-fi book set in BKK 200 years in the future and the city was indeed under water (surrounded by levies to keep the water at bay).

@FormerChefBlog @SheSimmers @TonsTweetings About $7.9 million USD. And the foundation of the building may literally be "underwater" within a few decades.

@KimFosterNYC I hadn't considered this much, but you're absolutely right. I have a hard time hearing people in noisy places, this will just compound that. :-(

As someone who is hearing impaired, I’m finding that conversing w/masks and limited facial cues is frustrating and sometimes futile. I already struggle in restaurants and stores, so I’m not even sure how to function in life where masks (which are necessary) are the new-normal.

New post! Got (sour) milk? Make this Spiced Sour Milk Coffee Cake. formerchef.com/2020/05/08/sou…
