So...whats for dinner?

Special - good to hear from you but sorry about your AC issues. I sauteed the zucchini with onions in EVOO and butter with dill & some rosemary. Then added some Campari tomatoes. Very light & fresh since it was 103 degrees yestarday. For leftovers tomorrow I'll add pasta and some cheese. Or maybe I'll add it to some rice.
Goldie - Fingers crossed your doc agrees to a virtual visit. A nine hour drive will not be fun.
Wally - I keep saying I'll get my next glasses at Costco, but I never have. I like the idea about starting out in the morning when the brain is fresh. Hope the adjustment period is easy.
Eric - I've been trying to estimate the boxes of books at my parents house. There was a fire in the basement at one time so they all were sent for smoke 'treatment". Once they were returned, Mother had already had her major stroke so they were just stacked in an empty room. Five boxes high by 12-15 boxes long by 6 boxes deep. It really hurt that I couldn't ship them all to Houston - but where would I have put them? BTW - I've read that it's not hording if it's books.
Meeting my nephew's family and his wife's parents for Chinese lunch today. They are from Hong Kong and always order delicious things I've never tried. Last night I had a brain storm & remembered how to make a 'cootie catcher' for the 7 year old. I'm taking crayons so she can color it when she gets bored with the adult conversation. I can't remember if answers were written inside when we used it for fortune telling in elementary school, or maybe just "yes or no" like a Magic 8 ball, or if the one holding the device got to tell the fortune??

minus - AC situation currently in limbo. The gentleman did some adjustments, we are now instructed to run it on fan only for 7-10 days to dry it out, then assess. May be fixed, or may need more extensive repair. These units are more than 10 years old, and are pretty much run continuously, thus shortening their useful lives. A decision point will come if this did not fix things - do we do an expensive repair that will buy a couple more years, or spring for new units? Bleh. On the cootie catcher question - definitely had the answers inside when we made them.
I have been donating my cookbooks slowly over time. I usually go through and photocopy the recipes I like/use, then donate the book. Since I enjoy cooking, I started receiving cookbooks as the go-to gift from many. I don't have the room to store them so this has been my solution. I have many of the books that belonged to my parents - I tried to weed out because I had to send them from California to Virginia when I closed down their home, but I still have a lot of classics and ones that were sentimental to me. At this point I have more of their books than my own! Except for the cookbooks, lol!

Dinner tonight will be a fish fry/pot luck. I am so looking forward to the fish. Servings of sides will be minimal for me. I bought two small pies from the Amish at the farmers market. One is labelled French Rhubard and has a crumb topping. The other is strawberry/rhubarb and has a dough topping. DH said to get rhubarb, which he likes a lot. The pies are my pot luck offering.
Last night was meat sauce, ground beef and Rao's, combined with cooked linguine out of the freezer, grated romano on top. Yum. So good. Side was a tossed salad. Enough pasta for another meal.
I bought two lovely heads of leaf lettuce at the farmers market, new potatoes, two cucumbers, a small cabbage, eggs and the two pies. Also a bag of kettle corn for my neighbor. A cute teenage boy is making a killing with his kettle corn. He has a huge popper and stays busy bagging the corn. Every other person, so it seems, walking by has a big plastic bag of kettle corn. I like my popcorn with a little salt and melted butter, not a sweet flavor.

From what I recall, Kimball was becoming more and more of a control freak (saw himself as the franchise) and some of his "side hustles" were taking resources & attention from CI, ATK and Cook's Country (which launched its own magazine). There were inklings of a "me too" situation even before "me too" became a thing. (He had professional friction with Collin-Davison--hints of which were, in retrospect, apparent on-air; and there may have been some confusion about his "boundaries" with Lancaster). He was becoming increasingly pedantic on-air as well, which didn't sit well with focus groups. Milk Street is a good fit for him. I agree that ATK is getting further & further afield culinarily, which has been inevitable to keep itself from being redundant. But IMHO that's a good thing. I like the science segments with Dan Souza, too. What really brought the on-air personalities/editorial staff into their own were the pandemic-necessitated "At Home" segments. It's refreshing to see them in real kitchens using less than restaurant-caliber appliances. Cook's Country was originally spun off to be a more basic and less esoteric alternative, but it too is becoming more adventurous. I'm glad to see them back in the studio again, interacting with each other...and noticing that over time neither of the two hosts seem to be immune to "middle-aged spread." With Kimball no longer kibitzing over their shoulder, they make a marvelous team and play off each other very well.
Of course, as a rather restricted eater (when I follow my diet) I get very frustrated by so much starch and even sugar in most of the savory recipes. (I tune out the baking segments, as they only make me depressed).
Cyathea, PPIs (Prilosec was the first, and Rx-strength is basically just double the OTC dose) were first developed for treatment of erosive esophagitis (pre-cancerous Barrett's esophagus) & stomach ulcers. The discovery of H. pylori infection as the cause of ulcers (and some esophagitis) brought PPIs to the fore--if dx is confirmed by biopsy, a short course of them plus an antibiotic can actually heal an ulcer. They do make it more difficult to absorb calcium & iron (because absorption of both depends to a degree on sufficient stomach acid), so many doctors urge weaning off them onto the H2 blocker Pepcid (famotidine; Zantac switched its formula to famotidine after ranitidine was found to have been manufactured with a possible carcinogen as part of the process). I tried, but couldn't do it. The OTC dose of Pepcid is supposed to be 10-20mg (1 or 2 tabs) at most; but the therapeutic dose can be as high as 40mg every 4-6 hours. Taking one pill of a PPI (I use Dexilant, still Rx-only, but the only one that works for me because it is a two-stage-release) is much more convenient for me--I can't be popping pills all day long (as of yet, because some day my life may depend on doing just that with some drug or another, and I want to hold off that inevitability as long as I can).
Thursday night we went to Calo. Dinner was prosciutto-wrapped melon over arugula, followed by grilled seafood (shrimp, scallops, calamari, & baby octopus) over rapini & cannelini beans. We shared, so no leftovers. Last night, we walked to Regalia (it was cool enough to need a jacket!). Bob had a Mediterranean salad and I had the squash-blossom appetizer (stuffed with goat cheese, dipped in beaten egg whites and deep-fried like a chile relleno) over arugula. Bob's entree was rigatoni alla vodka with peas & sausage; mine was the special sauteed branzino with cherry tomatoes (I subbed out garlic spinach for the mashed potatoes; I still have a leftover fillet in the fridge). Brunch today was a French rolled omelette (2 eggs+1 yolk), with herbs from my garden, grated Gruyere and a dollop of Boursin--I grated some of the remaining black truffle over it. That truffle was much more flavorful than the smaller one. For dinner, Bob stopped off at Boston Mkt--he had a carb-fest of meatloaf & gravy, mashed spuds & mac & cheese; for me, a roast half chicken, steamed broccoli, & creamed spinach (theirs has no starch). I ate the dark quarter and half the veggies. Think brunch tomorrow will be branzino.

I've never been a kettle-corn fan, even when I was allowed to eat popcorn. I'm gonna miss the farmers' market this Mon., because it runs 3-7pm. I have an ortho appt. at 2:30, and rehearsal at 6 with my singing partner (who's coming down from Madison earlier in the day to do some voice-over studio work). There's a very outside chance that there'll be a time window for me to make it; but I'm sure by then they'll have sold out of the MI tart cherries and any local strawberries. Disappointed that the Anticonquista Coffee guys don't do this market any more. They have a plantation in Guatemala, and they roast weekly in Rogers Park. But they sell only at a couple of early morning markets.

The only sweet/salty I like are 1) pb and chocolate and 2) dark chocolate dipped potato chips . Most of my savory foods, I prefer savory. I know the Asian cuisines focus on balance and add a pinch or so of sugar to almost all of their meals. I tend to omit that if I find a recipe I like.
Tuna melt (open face) with baked beans and slaw.
Tonight will be some kind of Indian dish with spinach...not sure what it will be or if it will be a hodge-podge of ingredients but DH is craving Indian and I have a pound of organic spinach to use up.
My new glasses are *meh*...they are gorgeous and the lenses are clean and great but I think the progressive is a tad off and my computer distance is difficult to see perfectly. I'm giving it a few more days to see if my brain adjusts. The problem is that they measure the distances with the frames on, but as I explained to them, once you put in a hefty rx, they tend to slide down a bit, especially when I am slathered with lotions and sunscreens. I should just beg for cataract surgery (possibly years away) and I'd get to wear readers or at most, a slight rx.

Dinner was Tomato and Red Pepper soup with multi-grain toast since I didn’t feel like cooking. DH had the leftover spaghetti with Rao’s.
Thanks for all the helpful info everyone. I finally got the biopsy results on Friday and started Diflucan yesterday. (Yay, no cancer!) Specialk, I’m glad the Nissen fundoplication surgery worked for your silent reflux. Chrisandy, I’ll have to keep Pepcid in mind if the pain continues. Sometimes pain is caused by two problems instead of one.
Chrisandy, your French omelette sounds wonderful. I made omelettes for lunch yesterday, but only had scallions and Havarti on hand.
Dinner will be Barramundi, quinoa-stuffed tomatoes, leftover scallion mashed potatoes, and a carrot salad. I wanted to buy Barramundi without seasoning, but Whole Foods only had a “lemon butter herb” variety. This was not nearly as good as the HelloFresh Barramundi and I don’t think I would buy it again. So, tonight I think I’ll thaw the fish and remove the sauce so that I can use my own spices.

I miss Bedo & Moon & Lacey and all. And Nance - it's time for you to check in too.
A neighbor brought me two fresh peaches from a crate she's ordered from Georgia. Absolutely delicious. Served sliced with heavy cream. That may be it for today. Too hot to eat.

And I miss Mae!!! How is the construction on the cabin coming? Do you have a "real" stove yet? I've been thinking about you driving all the way from West Texas in this heat.
Unprecedented that there have been NO posts to this thread for 24 hours. I know accessing the BCO site is a royal bitch - but I hope everyone doesn't drift away.
Dinner was leftover sauteed zucchini & onions with dill & added Campari tomatoes - re-heated and mixed with macaroni. Delicious. I'd really like to make brownies or gingerbread for desert, but NO WAY will I turn on the oven when it's 106 degrees outside. So likely it will will be Hagen Dazs Green Tea ice cream.

I am embarrassed to say that the 78 (currently) is kicking my ass. Those temps are rare here and most unwelcome. I hope all those in the swelter zone are doing OK.
Leftover Palak "paneer" for tonight.
Took our cat to the vet for thyroid labs. OY on the yowling. I think he'll need an increase in thyroid meds. poor guy hates the vet as much as I do my doc visits, LOL.
p.s. I do hate the site as it is now and I keep hoping they tweak it for better. May give up.
Editing to add, it is now in the 66 range; boy am I a wussy-girl.

Our AC is hanging in there, even just running the fan on the one side is keeping it cooler, so yay! I really don’t want to pay for a repair or new unit. Just had to pay to have two palm trees removed from the house that DD is in. Fortunately they were on the property line and the neighbor split the cost.
DD/beau came for dinner last night. We had steak, roasted little yellow potatoes, sautéed zucchini in lemon olive oil with red pepper flakes, and spinach salad with hot bacon dressing. Tonight was cauliflower linguine in Rao’s sausage and mushroom sauce with added sausage and mushrooms from the freezer - easy and quick

Last night's dinner was a frozen pizza cooked in the outdoor grill in oven mode, using the pizza stone. Worked so well. The pizza was a MN brand. It had little Italian sausage meatballs. I was well satisfied but dh would have liked more toppings.
Today is our 53rd anniversary. We're planning to go to Good Life cafe in Park Rapids for dinner. It's not an elegant restaurant but we've always liked their food.
I do not have any problem logging on and posting.

Happy anniversary!!!

Happy Anniversary, Carole. Our anniversary will be on Thursday. 29 years.
Special, good to hear your AC is holding up.
Brats with broccoli and corn for tonight. DH goes back for his second steroid back injection thing tomorrow, so no doubt a repeat/leftover. For Thursday, we'll do our favorite take-out pizza.

I’m still here minus, reading along mostly. The cabin interior is on hold for now. DH needs a shop to cut and store materials and he’s got one ready to buy but we can’t get anyone to come this fat up and back on the mountain to do the dirt work and pour a concrete slab. I’m focusing on my beach bar shed, which is ready for wall panels and painting, yay 😀
Meals have been simple salads and stove top stuff. Heading back to Houston tomorrow for a brain MRI and results, then back on Saturday with a load from storage. I know Houston will be hot but it’s much better here with highs in the 80’s and lows in the 60’s.

Carole, 53 years!!! Congratulations!
Same to you, wallycat!

Carole - yes, HAPPY Anniversary. 53 years is a great run...and still going. Will you stay north through August? Is it easier or harder with the "new" management on site?
Wally - please don't drop out. I look forward keeping up until seeing you on my next trip to Washington. Hope the steroid injection for your DH helps.
Special - ah the joys of AC in the South. When we moved to Houston in 1974, I was driving a Volvo without A/C. I told my DH it wouldn't be a problem - we'd just go drive around & get ice cream when it cooled in the evening. Little did I know it does NOT cool in the evening. I was used to desert & mountains & seashore country. Hope you didn't have to turn on the oven to roast the potatoes. Sorry about the palm trees. I read that being under shade from a tree reduces the air temperature 8 degrees.
Mae - glad you're OK. Wow, your temperatures sound 'delicious'. (well this is a food site...) We've had 105-106 the last few days. Glad you're getting the Beach Bar ready. Fingers crossed for the MRI results. Please do let us know.
Met a new podiatrist today. I've been dealing with detached toenails since chemo in 2013 - NINE years. I really don't care how they look anymore, just want them to re-attach so I don't have to wear socks to bed every night & they're not in danger of ripping off all the time. And so I might be able to start walking again w/o pain. He treated with a Pinpointe Laser & I have to keep on with the Tolcylen twice a day. Of course medicare doesn't pay for the laser, but anything was worth trying at this point. I go back in 4 months to see if there is any improvement. Supposedly one treatment works for "MOST" people.
Dinner was fresh mushrooms sauteed in butter & EVOO w/onion powder. Then I added fresh chopped fresh spinach. Served over the last of the leftover black rice. I will definitely buy more of the black rice. It's really good. A friend brought me some "Copper Pennies". Her Mother used to make them and I've never tried. That's on deck for tomorrow. Along with taking my car back in for a continuing oil drip.

Mazel tov, Carole & Wallycat!
Farmer's market was pathetic--several vendors MIA; and the two MI farms' sour cherry crops have come & gone (thanks to there having been no market July 4, when they were in season). Nothing I could eat that I wanted to buy, and Bob didn't want me to pick up empanadas or tamales as he would be home late. My rehearsal went well; afterwards, I nuked the Boston Mkt. leftovers.
Tonight I picked up my Hooked on Fish order (always fresh). 8 oz. ea. of Norwegian Fjord trout (like char or steelhead) and dry-pack scallops. I made the latter tonight (butter, olive, & grapeseed oil--seasoned with Tony Chachere's Creole seasoning and lemon juice). When examining my tomato plants this morning I noticed the lowest beefsteak tomato was showing some blush and I needed to rescue it from squirrels (I intended to ripen it on the sill). Alas, the bottom was firmly in the soil, and that part had begun to turn black. I rinsed it, trimmed away the rot, and made fried green tomatoes using an egg white to bind, and Simple Truth keto pancake mix to coat. Turned out pretty good. Nuked Bob an ear of corn, and made a salad of homegrown cherry tomatoes & basil over bagged baby arugula--dressed with blood orange olive oil and Sicilian orange sea salt. No acidity necessary.
We're going down to the dealership first thing in the morning to trade in the Fusion, pick up the Tucson, and have the service dept. pair our phones via Bluetooth and show Bob how to work Apple CarPlay (especially the maps). Turns out Siri works with Apple Maps in CarPlay (Bob will have to enable Location Services on his phone...sigh, I mean *I* will have to go into Settings to do that for him), and when the map is on screen the compass direction is in the upper right corner. Won't mess with the new CD player, as he will have enough to deal with driving the new car down to his office in Hickory Hills. (We're tag-teaming, with me in my Outback--no way am I spending an arm & a leg getting a taxi or rideshare from Bronzeville back up here 13 miles to Edgewater, nor futzing around with a 4-block walk to the commuter rail station and then transfering to the CTA). Tomorrow night I will grill the fjord trout and saute snap peas.

Minus, it's not just the South. The hottest, most uncomfortable summer nights I've experienced have been during my Brooklyn childhood (old apt. building had inadequate wiring and we had to resort to either window box fans or going up to the roof--fully-shod, of course) and again during our 7 years in UW married grad-student housing in Seattle. Those buildings also lacked adequate wiring, as well as cross-ventilation. When the swamp cooler didn't do the job, we'd repair across the street to the Health Sciences bldg., which had AC. I would cook Lipton instsnt dinners (or freeze-dried camping foods) over the Bunsen burner in the lab and then bring our meals upstairs to the lounge, with a killer view of Mt. Rainier (assuming it wasn't raining).

Yup - I grew up in CA in a house with no AC. We often slept outside in the summer. I didn't even know anyone with AC. None of our cars had AC and we used to drive every summer across the Nevada desert and the Utah salt flats - three kids in the back seat. When I lived in New Mexico, at least we had 'swamp coolers'. The difference is - other places I've lived cooled down at nights due to adjacent deserts, mountains, oceans... In Houston - 90 in the middle of the night is "cool".
Speaking of heat - how's the moving going Eric? I know you must be glad to be out of PHX.

minus - I did turn on the oven to roast the potatoes, and again last night to cook chicken breast stuffed with cream cheese/green onion then wrapped in bacon, with French onion rice and roasted carrots. So yummy! The great news is that this new oven is so well made and insulated that it doesn't seem to impact the temp in the kitchen. Yay for that!
I grew up with a swamp cooler - my parents built a house in 1959 in suburban Los Angeles - but did not get central AC until well after I left for college. Summers were HOT and I remember my mom shutting all the hallway doors and laying on the floor to try to cool off. She had a total hyst at 24 years old, so was menopausal well before she should have been - of course I was oblivious at the time, but since I had one at 45 and pre-menopausal, I sympathize in hindsight. We lived in WA for 18 months, but had the coldest summer in 100 years, bracketed by two winters so it didn't matter that we had no AC. Twelve years in VA and 15 so far here in FL, I have never acclimated to hot and humid - and I never will. Echoing chisandy's NY comment, I remember going to NYC in the summer as we prepared to sail to England and I thought I had gone to the seventh level of hell because it was sticky and HOT! This was my frame of mind and I was only 6 years old but had never been outside of my home state... I am still a California girl - give me hot and dry, please.
chisandy - I have a Jeep Cherokee and this is the first car I have had with CarPlay. I have found it very intuitive and easy to use with the nav on my phone. I just leave a shorter charging cord plugged into the aux, and CarPlay comes right up on the menu of options on the screen of the car. Hope it is as user friendly for you guys - news cars always have a period of adjustment with ergonomics and new buttons/knobs, etc. I had a string of Kia Sorrento mid-size SUVs, partly because I didn't have to learn anything new, lol!
Dinner tonight is TBD - I have black bean soup, but I think it is too hot for that. I am thinking a salad for DH with pulled pork on top from the freezer and BBQ/Ranch salad dressing. Greek village salad for me.
carole & wally - happy anniversary - I'm late!

Hopefully we're allowed to celebrate birthdays and anniversaries for a whole week at our age!!! So Carole & Wally - keep on partying.
Dinner was French green lentils with minced onion. Steamed cauliflower flowerettes added on top. Tomorrow I will saute the lentils that are left & add shredded carrots and maybe celery - and maybe some broth. And yes the rest of the cauliflower. Desert was watermelon again. Served with a crisp Kirlkand Sauvigon Blanc.
Goldie - hope you're safely out of the PHX heat.

Dinner did end up being salad for DH - a trio of kale with balsamic, classic chicken salad, and a loaded baked potato salad. I had a little of the potato salad and the leftover half of a bacon wrapped chicken breast from the night before.
minus - I wish my DH liked lentils. I always wonder if varied how I cook them he might like them - this was the case with Brussels sprouts. His mom made them when he was a kid and he hated them, but if one adds some bacon and balsamic, they are a whole new phenomenon. The lentil dislike is from lentils with Polish sausage that his mom made (and she was a great cook!), but I suspect maybe the lentils got mushy or chalky? I know the texture varies with the type used - do you find the French green ones the most palatable?

Hi, Foodies! My tomatoes are just forming flowers but we are finally getting summer and I can't wait for fresh tomatoes. I have Sweet 100's, Early Girls and Romanos. Towards the end of the season I freeze the little tomatoes on a cookie sheet then bag them up for winter soups, sauces and stews. I have a great pork stew that calls for green cherry tomatoes. And I can't wait to do fry the Early Girls while they are still green.
I hated Brussels Sprouts until I had them roasted in the oven. Now I love them. When roasted.
I made a pizza with the crust from Cioffi's freezer. I used Sicilian pesto (tomatoes, basil, almonds) for the sauce then topped it with roasted red peppers, cherry tomatoes, artichokes, onions, roasted garlic cloves, a sprinkling of Greek oregano, a few sliced black olives. The cheese topping was a mixture of cassata and pecorino. Just before serving I tossed some fresh basil from my herb patch on top.
I have never had French green lentils but I have heard that they are way better than the ones we think of when considering lentils.

My DH was never a fan of lentils until I made lentil sloppy joes. Now he asks for it.
DH is doing OK with the back so far; we hope more improvement as the days go. Fishing season opens today and we are chomping at the bit to get out there.

I think the French Green Lentils are much better than the 'everyday' variety. I bought the "365" organic at Whole Foods. (interesting since I don't spring for organic anything else). Since I'm lazy, I boil first - but not until mushy. Then they can be tossed in a salad. (maybe you can convince him they are sunflower seeds??) But my favorite way is sauteed with onion & shredded carrots. (which I'll be doing with the leftovers tomorrow after I buy onions) Oh - maybe a touch of vegetable broth. I have to go back to the restaurant I love that serves them with salmon. I haven't been in a year and I need to re-assess what they do now that I've tried them myself.
Wally - good news about our DH's back.
Elderberry - needless to say our tomatoes are gone with consistant 100+ heat. I still have a few Mexican Minis, but even those are shriveling up.
Dinner tonight was Salmon Risotto from Costco. Nuke for 80 seconds. Not bad - but very filling. I did not really care for the "Copper Pennies" that my neighbor brought over. Carrots sliced like coins & think she said tomato soup? In any case, I won't be making, But the Crimson Thread red blend wine was quite good.

Salmon over lentils is a French bistro classic--first time we had it, in fact, was in a hole-in-the-wall joint in an arcade off the Champs-Elysees. Yoshi's (RIP) in Lakeview did it almost identically, right down to the green "lentilles du puy." (I got some shelf-stable vac-packed cooked ones by Melissa's, and they're better than what I've tried making from scratch). I also like the red & yellow ones used to make "dal" in Indian cuisine. The brown ones, not so much--except for a pretty good stew I once had in a Moroccan restaurant in SF (its name, IIRC, was Mamounia).
Wed. night we started with gazpacho. I grilled the Norwegian Fjord trout (well, I cheated, cooking it on a sheet of foil so I didn't have to oil the grill grates--which I find not just messy snd wasteful of oil. but scary to boot). I nuked some Jason's cauliflower "mac & cheese;" nobody could mistske the cauli chunks for macaroni (the texture is a dead giveaway), but a grating of nutmeg & little white truffle oil did elevate it. Served it with Caesar salad.
Tonight we went to Mon Ami Gabi for Bastille Day--for which, amazingly, they didn't have any holiday specials. We shared a half-bucket of moules mariniere and a salad of arugula, pea shoots and snap peas. For entrees, Bob had steak frites; I had steamed halibut with watercress puree, baby globe carrots, cipollini onions and field greens.

Last night was baby back ribs and a large tossed salad. I pulled out the multi cooker and used it on the pressure cooker function to tender the ribs. Worked perfectly. DH finished them on the grill with barbecue sauce.

Sandy, so happy my foil technique for fish on the grill appeals to you. It is easy, safer and less waste of oil and fish (if it sticks, LOL).
Leftover pizza tonight.

My MIL......
We had some *VERY* good friends stop by the new place for a week and they stayed in their travel trailer. We connected the needed electrical outlet, traded cooking, fixed some minor problems with their truck, relaxed, played music and enjoyed the company.
Sharon was talking with her mom on the speaker phone while our friends were listening and her mom knew they were listening because she had said hello to them during the call. Suddenly, she says, "They're still there? You know, company is like fish. After three days both begin to stink."
<end raised eyebrows>
sigh.....
We will be making another trip to Phoenix next week to coincide with out dental checkups and bring up another load of stuff. We leave the truck running, with the air conditioner on, while we work. When we begin go overheat, we get into the truck and "chill" for awhile.For one of the dinners I brined a whole chicken. Next time I'll try rinsing the chicken a bit more before cooking it. It was very moist, but much too salty for our tastes. If rinsing doesn't work, then I'll try either a weaker solution or less time in the solution or some combination of the two.
