Probably what they meant. Poaching is specifically around 170 fahrenheit, so it’s a low and slow cooking process. For veg, you wanna blanch them which is with boiling water; fast and hot. If you cook them too slow, the chlorophyll turns brown before the veg is ready. Green beans don’t take long so it might not matter, but you’ll notice the difference with something more like broccoli.
I used to think typos meant that the author (and/or editor) hadn’t checked what they wrote, so the article was likely poor quality and less trustworthy. Now I’m reassured that it’s a human behind it and not a glorified word-prediction algorithm.
I worked with a cook who had previously cooked in the military. He told me his boss would occasionally throw an entire egg into the powered eggs so people would think they were using real eggs. Don’t know if that true or not, but moral of the story: don’t trust the typos.
Well I’ve been living in Texas for almost 20 years. Mostly Houston and now DFW. Originally, I’m from California and I lived there for 12 years. I’m going back to college so I can afford to leave Texas.
Yes, the major cities are more liberal, especially Houston. But confederate flags abound! It’s only been getting worse since 2020. It’s a shame because Houston is the most culturally diverse place I’ve ever been. But be that as it may, this is the South. This is the home of racists.

As far as “film” goes, Drive is also my favorite for the very same reasons. Even the simple placement of bright colors like the Tide bottles at the convenience store…
But that elevator scene takes the cake for me. Prior to that point things were kind of slow and melancholy. I think Irene’s reaction to the brutality of the Driver mirrors that of the audience. I love this movie.
I think the best course of action is helping Mexico with the cartel problem so people stop wanting or even needing to cross the border. Grain of salt though, the leaders of Mexico are in the pockets of the cartels.
Lincoln believed that the Founding Fathers intended for slavery to eventually fade away to extinction. But for this to happen, there could be no further spread of slavery into new states. The Compromise of 1850 and the Kansas-Nebraska Act both steered slavery down a different path of proliferation.
Lincoln’s policy during the Republican nomination and general election was to follow the path laid out by the Constitution. Meaning: honor the fugitive slave law and to make no infringements upon the South’s right to slavery. However, Lincoln made it very clear that slavery will remain only where it currently was in place. There would be no further spreading of slavery into newly adopted states.
Most of my information comes from the book Team of Rivals by Doris Kearns Goodwin. I highly recommend it for anyone looking for a Lincoln biography.
It was a moral imperative for much of the North. Lincoln only barely scraped out the Republican nomination. His main opponent was William Seward who was a “radical” abolitionist. Had Seward won the nomination, there may have been some fracturing of the newly formed Republican party. So while there was indeed a portion of the population who felt the complete abolition of slavery was too far, a huge chunk agreed with Seward. In particular, his own wife, Francis Seward. She abhorred slavery and I urge everyone to read her writings upon the subject.

My wife is born and raised in Texas. She thinks churches on every corner is normal. Now she is a travelling surgical tech and falling in love with upstate NY. It’s not my beloved Pacific Northwest, but I will gladly move anywhere away from these loco church people.
Judging by the table, you’re industry so I will give you my thoughts as such. I’ve been chefin’ it up for 15 years, not the most, but maybe my experience can help.
First of all, I think you’ve got a knack for composition and the artisty part of things. That seems to be something your either born with, or you do enough hallucinogents to aquire. Sadly, this is my weakness.
So this is what my experience says, and I’m curious how others feel about my ideas. Charcuterie is classy, so lose the nachos. Mostly because it’s difficult to eat cleany, but also because nachos are difficult to get to table looking fresh.
I think the shrimp is a cool idea I haven’t seen. I would slice it on a long thin bias though to remain consistent with the other meats. And your bread looks raw. Toast it low and slow more like your dehydrating it and make sure to hit it with some oil or some kind of fat.
Also, don’t be shy. You’re portions should look abundant. These sorts of boards are meant to be a celebration. You can see the board between the cornichins so just pile more in there. Same with the bowl of your olives. It doesn’t need to be mounding, but fill that bowl up. You did this with the meat, so just carry that one throughout the board.
Finally, everything on your dish should be edible, so trim the flowers off of the basil. Usually, if your plant has “gone the seed”, meaning it has flowered, then you’ve waited too long for consumption. When a plant flowers, it has shifted it’s energies away from gathering sunlight(in the leaves where that flavor is) and into self preservation good by way of pollen in the flowers. So they aren’t as tasty. For example, brocolini: Pick the ones that don’t have the yellow flowers opening up.
I suspect there may be people who disagree with my last idea. Today’s tastes seem to be shifting more to the ascetic for the sake of it. Which is cool too! Progress is constantly happening, but there is romance in tradition as well.

William Howard Taft didn’t take bribes when he sat as Chief Justice. I’d say Taft was much more hard working and deserving of constant vacation, but he understood why it meant to be an impartial judge.
