burners

ours have icons beside the valves to show exactly which burner each valve adjust. I can never figure them out. The beauty of gas is you can twiddle the knob, and then look at the burners to see where the gas went.

ours actually say 'front left' and such but i never remember to look until it's too late. my instinct is just the opposite of what it should be apparently. alas.

ooh, me too with the mis-adjust. i almost ruined a perfectly good (if a bit rusty) cookie sheet the other day!!

kohlrabi... kinda like a cross between cabbage and radish. s the cabbage-hater liked it better in a stir-fry (slightly softened and maybe disguised with sesame and ginger) than he did in a salad. but the salad was okay, too!

and ohmygoodness. angel season three is dark and upsetting and i don't want to watch any more. :(

i remember you said that about the kohlrabi being cabbage-ish. but i wasn't prepaired for the smell. i sauteed in it soybutter and olive oil and put salt and pepper on it and it was deeeelicious. oh, and that was one suggestion from my 'world vegetarian' cookbook which i haven't used much but now i love because it has helpful suggestions for things to do with any random vegetable. seriously, it has like 6 kohlrabi recipes. and little tips on how to pick and store them etc. so helpful!

and oh. you're watching season 3? i'm sorry, honey. it's so so dark and unrelenting. you should only watch it in the daytime when all is bright and sunny and you can go outside and shake it off.
