Annoying Lunch Habits of Coworkers

The main deal is I bring my lunch, no prob. But the young girls do not do their dishes. I have to wash all this crap: dishes forever. What a pain.

SE Staff Picks: Our Favorite Sack Lunches

I just bring leftovers. But, I see these threads about the smells and how peeps are offended. I don't get it. I love the smell of good food. It would only offend me if it was spoiled. Just noticed NOLA_psycho, great name.I think I am just NOLA neurotic.

How to Make Cold-Brew Iced Coffee

I just put half a cup of grinds (French Market coffee and chicory) in a jar with two quarts of water. Let it sit over night on the counter. Stain thru wire strainer lined with flour sack towel. Enjoy. If you like it sweet use simple syrup.I always have some for cocktails. Wonderful cold or warmed up. Absolutely no acid. Coffee of the Gods!

The Crisper Whisperer: What's a Cucuzza?

I have always seen them in New Orleans, not at the big supermarkets, but at farmer's markets and smaller locally owned groceries. The couple of times I cooked them I treated them like a stuffed Zucchini. As a big Louis Prima fan, I also am familiar with the song.

I use all those techniques except brining. I've tried it and the only difference I can tell is it makes everything too salty.

Need a suggestion for a tasty beginner fish dish

We love trout meuniere at my house. I make the basic meuniere with what ever fish is reasonably priced that week. Last week it was red snapper. Farm raised catfish is usually fairly reasonable and is quite good prepared with a meuniere sauce.

The Food Lab: Fresh Ricotta in Five Minutes or Less

I have a couple of dozen flour sack towels and use them to strain everything. Just throw them in the washer when you are done. I found them at the American Chair Store online for a very reasonable price. The ones at amazon and WS were too expensive to buy in quantity for a frugal gal like me.

Do you like to read cookbooks like novels? Which ones?

@olddad I think Frank Davis is a hoot but I'm not that crazy about his recipes.
My current reading as a novel favorite is John Besh's "My New Orleans".
