FINALLY.

I’ve looked for a similar dish to the rapini they would serve at this Bistro I waitressed at, was never able to replicate it…but this is it!

THANK YOU.

Excellent! Glad I could help.

I would NEVER use anything less than kosher salt for body shots……

Well, of course you wouldn’t!

I have been threatening to install a salt lick in the kitchen for years.

That is a genius idea!

my cousin uses more salt than anyone i know. she uses one salt shaker every month. and funny enough, her brother just discovered he has high blood pressure and has to go on a low sodium diet…i find this hilarious.

A month! Good lord. Yeah, it should be used in every strp, not just dumped on top.

I completely agree about the host of that show! She’s painful to watch (almost as painful as Ellie Kreiger, who I can’t stand). Luckily, this dish looks easy to eat!!

Ellie is oddly monotone…I feel like she could snap at any second.

Iodine in salt is one of the main ways that we’ve made people smarter in the modern world. In wasting third-world countries, one of the first things they do to keep people from being so stupid is to put iodine in salt, and it has a noticeable and immediate effect. It prevents cretinism — makes you smarter.

I wonder about all these Whole Foods parents who are depriving their kids of the necessary high-IQ they need to get into a “good school” and take over for the parents, all because they’d be socially shunned for using iodized salt!

Ideas have consequences… especially silly ones.

We aren’t suffering from iodine deficiencies anymore…most people get plenty in their diet. Also, if you use table salt, even at restaurants occasionally, it is plenty.

I’m pretty sure the well of opinions won’t be running dry anytime soon.

I think I am about 6 months away from being a timid, quiet mouse.

Oh, and it was table salt, he couldn’t even spring for kosher.

That boy must have been awfully dehydrated.

I have been ridiculed by friends for my love of salt. I used to put it on everything – meat, vegetables, apples, someone’s retainer left unattended on the lunchroom table…

It is also a great benefit in that I usually only have to urinate once every two or three days.

Retainers are so much better with sprinkling of salt.
