@tiffani I don’t know if this is common elsewhere, but when I lived in Seattle any state resident could access the Univ. of Washington library. Just go in with a thumb drive and walk out with all the paywalled pdfs you wanted.

[Darren Vengroff @vengroff]

@BecklerMac @drvolts Yes. There is a logo on the bottom of some induction-compatible cookware, but unfortunately it’s a coil and most people who are not electrical engineers don’t know what it means.

[Darren Vengroff @vengroff]

@drvolts A big problem is people see induction and think it’s old-fashioned slow radiant electric. Induction needs a cute ubiquitous logo on every unit industry wide and an ad campaign to teach people that that logo means it’s the best option.

@ExcuseMyFly I don't know who could write this book but if you find them I will pre-order it the day it is announced.

[Darren Vengroff @vengroff]

@ExcuseMyFly Imagine a book by an author who has lived and cooked both somewhere between Senegal and Ghana and somewhere between S. Carolina and Louisiana. It traces ingredients and techniques across the middle passage then compares and fuses the current cuisines of both sides. With recipes.

@NickCho Hah. I had the audio muted the first time I watched. Dead giveaway with it unmuted.

[Darren Vengroff @vengroff]

@NickCho How long are you going to be around here?

[Darren Vengroff @vengroff]

@NickCho On the NJ Turnpike headed from EWR to the city?

[Darren Vengroff @vengroff]

@ExcuseMyFly Damn. I have never really been the type to attend a food and wine festival but I was considering it just to come to this and Chef BJ Dennis' rice event.

Congratulations on the sellout!

@seattlefoodgeek Make sure you visit the Connie while you are there.

@MrGoodlyCooks We took our daughter to her first game when she was three. Her reaction after a score: “why are all the daddies screaming like babies?”

[Darren Vengroff @vengroff]

@MrGoodlyCooks Perfectly ripe figs are almost impossible to beat.

@nizkroberts Switch to latest tweets (pure chronological order) and go to the interests page and uncheck everything once a week or so. It makes this app bearable.

[Darren Vengroff @vengroff]

@MrGoodlyCooks And yet many of those shocked people won’t lift a finger to do anything about racism at home. And so NYC and NJ school districts are more segregated than most in the south.

Crab rice and okra soup at Hannibal’s on Charleston’s East Side. Delicious

[Darren Vengroff @vengroff]

If you visit Charleston, skip the horse carriage tours and take Damon Fordham’s Lost Stories of Black Charleston tour instead. Incredible stories from a local scholar and storyteller. https://t.co/nHJHtRUCqm

@baykenney Stunning!

@rebel19 A backer who happens to be opposed to any affordable housing in his own back yard. https://t.co/n8rwZz5YqS

@kwuchu The correct answer is you go through pre check but take your partner’s carry on bags so they don’t have to remove liquids and electronics.

@ExcuseMyFly @Moecasonbbq @NatGeoTV @Ranky_Tanky @PitmasterRS @BowensIsland @smitheyironware I'll be in CHS for the first time next month. Will definitely visit as many of these as possible.
