Study links America's favorite cooking oil to obesity
Soybean oil, the most widely consumed cooking oil in the United States and a staple of processed foods, contributes to obesity, at least in mice, through a mechanism scientists are now beginning to understand.

Aloo Chicken Recipe (Gift Recipe)
This version of a traditional Punjabi chicken and potato stew uses some shortcuts — boneless chicken and chicken stock instead of whole chicken thighs, and cashew butter in place of ground cashews — to produce a quick, one-pot meal with complex flavors. The quality of the stock heavily influences the end result, so reach for the best. Onion, ginger, garlic, chile powder and garam masala layer on sweetness and heat while cashew butter adds a rich nuttiness. Serve with lemon wedges for a fina…

Good Morning #Canada
I hope you're waking up to a scrumptious smell from the kitchen because it's National Bacon Day. While you're waiting for it to finish cooking, here are some facts to salivate over:
- Canadian Bacon, aka Back Bacon or Peameal Bacon, is a Canadian invention. It's also healthier than regular bacon, with far less saturated fats
- 42% of Canadians prefer their bacon crispy while 49% enjoy it limp. I assume 9% eat it raw?
- Winnipeg, home of the Bacon Centre of Excellence, is the Bacon Capital of Canada
- Canadians consume over 50M kilos of bacon annually. I ate my 1.25 kilos this year.
- Canadian Bacon, the movie, was a box office flop, only earning $178K on a production budget of $11M
- The average weight of a pig prior to processing is 111.2 kilos
- Canadian producers exported 18.6M kilos of cured bacon and 202K kilos of back bacon
- There are over 14M hogs in Canada
- 82% of Canadians add bacon on their burgers
- Kevin Bacon is not Canadian

Green Pea Guacamole Recipe (Gift Recipe)
Adding fresh English peas to what is an otherwise fairly traditional guacamole is one of those radical moves that is also completely obvious after you taste it. The peas add intense sweetness and a chunky texture to the dip, making it more substantial on the chip. They also intensify the color of the green avocado — and help the guacamole stay that way. Pea guacamole keeps its bright hue in the fridge for a few days without turning brown around the edges. A good dose of lime juice helps this …

Todoist FTW.
Several years ago we had smoky pies and rolls for Thanksgiving because we put off cleaning the ovens until it was too late.
I created a recurring Todoist task to clean the ovens on the 3rd Sunday of November. Ever since then we’ve had pristine ovens and smoke free cooking every Thanksgiving.
Collette appreciates that a holiday for which most of the tasks are hers, she doesn’t have to worry and the ovens are ready to go.

Holy mother of all dear, this lentil soup made me smile like a benevolent king. The guy was telling the truth. This is my second serving. The rest gets stowed in the fridge.
Here's the video again:

Sweet Potato cooking tip: Place in an air fryer (baking mode) at 350℉ for an hour, then let rest for an hour. You'll get a wonderfully jammy, extra-sweet potato. 🍠 😋

Today I was reminded that the most important cooking show in Italian television (la prova del cuoco), running for decades now, has a trans woman chef regularly on the show. And she transitioned basically in front of the nation.

Making #goulash, but with #Sichuan peppercorns was a brilliant idea.
I love #cooking myself. 🍲
Over the years, I have developed a certain fusion cuisine of my own.

When cooking hybridizes with chemical engineering and focus groups:

Also tacos, vegetarian home cooking, how parents introduce kids to their world outside the home, why suburbia is hell, how cities could do better for kids, the actual safety of turning kids out to roam on their own, and how adorable kittens are. All in all a great night.

Pot lights are a mistake, an architectural foible that’s ubiquitous because it makes a place look glamorous when you’re walking through thinking of renting/buying it. Looks good in photos too. And they’re fine for cooking or reading because you’re looking down. But for activities like conversation or chilling in front of the screen, they glare annoyingly. Nice glass wall or ceiling light fixtures are way easier on the eyes.

mild panic that the boiler didn’t turn on when i asked it for more hot water when the tap was running cold earlier
i left it to deal with after i had finished cooking
but it did turn on at the scheduled central heating time
hmm
i wonder if that is a misconfiguration or something more serious

Walking into the living room, I stumble upon this scene. I shout around the corner to my husband, cooking dinner in the kitchen, “When did you put my hat on the capybara?!”
“Like, hours ago,” he laughs.
I’ve been sitting next to this cool dude for hours now, and I had no idea.

Not sure about other places, but for those contributing, the PVD food drive we're contributing to says the things they are most short on are:

Harissa Puttanesca With Toasted Almonds Recipe (Gift Recipe)
Pasta puttanesca, a classic Italian dish, gets a vibrant makeover with the addition of harissa, a spiced North African chile paste. In this version, harissa replaces the usual crushed red pepper, adding a smoky depth and complex warmth. Olives, anchovies and capers, classic puttanesca ingredients, deliver their signature briny punch, while toasted almonds add a satisfying crunch and a welcome protein boost. Perfect for busy weeknights, this dish made with pantry staples is both flavorful and co…

My cooking mojo has returned to the building, it would seem. As well as the stew and cauliflower cheese, this weekend I've made elderberry cordial and devils on horseback, to use up the prunes I bought for, er, devils on horseback at Christmas. No-one else will eat these sweet, salty, smoky parcels of deliciousness so I have the whole lot to myself, although whether that many prunes is a good idea the night before a work day remains to be seen 😄😈

Chicken Soup From Scratch Recipe (Gift Recipe)
Chicken soup is one of the most painless and pleasing recipes a home cook can master. This soup has all the classic flavors (celery, carrot, parsley) but has been updated for today's cooks, who can't easily buy the stewing hen and packet of soup vegetables that old-fashioned recipes used to call for. A whole bird provides the right combination of fat, salt and flavor. Don't be tempted to use all white meat, as the flavor won't be as round. Because making soup involves the bones and deep tissues…

Gas stoves are filling millions of homes with hidden toxic air #environment

Gas stoves are filling millions of homes with hidden toxic air
Stanford researchers found that gas stoves expose Americans to surprisingly high levels of nitrogen dioxide—often matching or exceeding outdoor pollution. For millions, cooking alone pushes NO2 over long-term safety thresholds. Smaller homes, renters, and rural households face the highest concentrations. Cleaner cooking technologies could substantially reduce the risks.

Saag comes in so many ingenious variations. Leafy greens, such as spinach, amaranth, mustard greens or fenugreek, make up the bulk. A heady blend of spices and aromatics provide the foundation, and different proteins can be added to enhance texture and flavor. This version, adapted from the chef Pourin Singh’s recipe at Le Taj in Montreal, is made with plump shrimp, which add a complementary brininess. The secret to Mr. Singh’s version is the freshness of his ingredients: the spices, the sp…

Chickpea Stew With Orzo and Mustard Greens Recipe (Gift Recipe)
A complex and colorful chickpea stew, this is rich with vegetables, olive oil and Parmesan cheese. You can vary the vegetables to use what you’ve got. Here, I keep to the basics, adding carrots for sweetness, fennel or celery for depth, cherry tomatoes for looks. Tender greens, wilted into the bubbling mixture at the end, are optional, but they do add a bright, almost herbal note. I particularly love using baby mustard greens, which are pleasantly peppery. But spinach, arugula and kale work w…

Good Morning #Canada
My youngest daughter is visiting this weekend, and while cooking our family breakfast, we had a long conversation about #AI and #LLM applications. She works for a nonprofit - Rainbow Railroad - and is in charge of all their data applications and funding processes. Her manager is suggesting that they need to start exploring AI/LLM, perhaps to automate email responses to donors. Her response, backed by the fundraising team, is "no effing way will a machine talk to any donor." Losing the personal touch can kill an organization that relies on the emotional empathy and kindness of the public.
That led to a new discussion - are there examples of #AI being used for good. #AskEllyn, the nonprofit chatbot that supports breast cancer patients, was the only one we could name, unfortunately, because both my daughters have relied on it over the past few months.
Tell me about other positive examples of AI - bonus points if they're Canadian.

"‘Eat out to help out’ scheme added to air pollution in London, study finds"
#UK #UnitedKingdom #London #AirPollution

We had our kitchen done last year. The first design that the kitchen company produced for us had two ovens.
"There's only the two of us" we said, "and with the air fryer & the microwave we hardly make use of one oven. We definitely don't need two."
"Oh but it's very fashionable at the moment" they told us, "and it looks better".
Suffice to say we didn't stand for any of that nonsense (or extra expense!) and ended up with just one oven.
Now today Mrs LT has pointed to a house she's seen for sale just down the road from us that has three ovens. THREE!
And it's not even Downton Abbey, just a 4-bed suburban house. When on earth will they ever make use of all that cooking capability?
