I made a thai-style red curry lamb a week or two ago. I definitely noticed that the recipe did not call for anything that could be understood as proper browning technique, but nonetheless I decided to just more or less follow the recipe and start the lamb cold. That might have been a mistake, I wasn't very impressed with the outcome.

Every time I work with matzoh meal I hear the voice of "Joe Franklin" from the old days when SNL was funny...

"Matzohs by Streit's , for the unleavened experience of a lifetime!"

RIP Billy Crystal

Rumors of Crystal's death are... greatly exaggerated.

It's a six-degrees thing. Billy Crystal isn't dead, but he has appeared in films directed by Rob Reiner.

Who is... also not dead?

He's not dead, but I wish he was.
