If using duck in a curry is innovative, I'm going to get a copyright on my old family meal recipe.

started off with a can of Kosher chicken noodle soup. Added some dried spices, fresh rosemary, maldon sea salt, and a couple drops of olive oil on top in the mug.

Now it is tasty.

So what say you, is it worth it? I'm thinking of getting some new pans to replace my random assortment of mediocre ones and I'm intrigued.

I think you should check with Matt. I haven't used that enough yet to consider it properly seasoned so do not feel qualified to answer.

You added salt to a kosher meat product?

What's making me happy today? A perfect smoked duck breast sandwich.

The bartender/manager at my regular bar hangout left and now has own place opened.

Any suggestion on what I should get him as a gift?
I've seen flowers with congratulation cards outside newly opened bar/restaurants. Anything else I can get?

I am happy that I can get good drinks again but didn't think my question was worth starting a separate thread for.

Surely there is a Japanese etiquette thing that dictates the kind of proper gift for a situation like this? I'm not sure what it'd be tbh, but I feel like there is something appropriate for this occasion. The large flower displays tend to come from the larger entities who will stand to benefit from the business, and not patrons.

Best thing you can do for a new restaurant owner, rather than giving them a gift they are going to have absolutely no time to use or enjoy for the next 5 years, is to be a faithful patron of their restaurant and to give good feedback. Bring people in with you. That would be much appreciated.
