I've acquired a Japanese ceramic stovetop grill/mesh (picture: https://imgur.com/a/WiIvEDw)

I'm thinking it'll be great for grilling various vegetables and the occasional fish, but any other smart usage of this?

Not really sure if it would work for a steak, but maybe a pork chop?

Can't really find much information on this in English, so hoping someone here have some good ideas, cheers.

I'm looking to burn some vacation days, but want to stay in Europe (Turkey included) this summer. Having been to most capitals in Europe, I'm wondering if there's any good places to visit that isn't a major capital type city (Rome, London, Amsterdam, Berlin, etc.) or extreme tourist destination (e.g. Dubrovnik)

With the challenge that I can't rent a car, as I do not have a drivers license, but still want something to do.

A place like Porto would fit the bill, but I've already been there. The other year I went to Catania (Sicily) and day tripped to Taormina and Syracuse, which was nice, except Catania was super boring (and quite rough on the edges)

Some places I've looked at so far:

• Bor

I'm unable to connect DIRIGERA hub to the iPhone app on my home network. The old TRÅDFRI hub worked fine.

Yes, I'm using the "Home Smart" app, not the old one for TRÅDFRI.

I've tried:

• Factory resetting (multiple times), doesn't work.
• Setting a static IP, still doesn't work.

Is this product just broken?

I'm going on a overdue vacation soon (back to India, this time in the south, and continuing on to Sri Lanka afterwards), and I'm slowly starting to plan how I'll deal with my long flights getting there.

What's your choice for InFlight entertainment these days? A iPad preloaded with Netflix series & movies? A Kindle with e-books?

Are there any mobile games you'd recommend installing? I'm thinking of getting Apple Arcade for the month (for free) as a lot of their games seems nice and simple.

Plus, optionally, any suggestion for packed-ahead-of-time snacks? I've always been the type to just buy some crap in the airport, but really there's nothing preventing me from getting my favourite liqu

As the title says, I got a pound / half kilo of guanciale that has a expiration date in a weeks time and while it should be perfectly safe to use, I need to use it in the next four weeks anyway, as afterwards I'm going on a month long vacation.

What's a good use of guanciale that isn't the classical Roman pasta dishes? i.e. Carbonara, Alla Gricia, Amatriciana and Cacio e pepe.

(I'll be making those dishes as well, don't worry)

Time to join a new air miles bonus program!

I have some Asparagus in the fridge that have started sprouting (guess the fridge door isn't cold enough)

As I understand, once Asparagus sprouts they start tasting woody, but I've also heard you can use the wooden stems for soup, so I was wondering if I could use up what I have left in the fridge for that?

Rather than tossing it all, that is.

Thanks

Info:

• 26th April to 1st of May, arriving Wednesday afternoon and leaving Monday morning (4AM flight)
• Main objective was attending the Azerbaijan Grand Prix (Formula1), with the main race days being Friday, Saturday and Sunday.

Visa

• Applying for the eVisa ($26 USD) on https://evisa.gov.az/en/ was quick and painless. Took just shy of a week before it arrived by email. I brought a printed copy with me, although showing it on the phone also worked.

Entry (flights)

• Getting to Baku now days is a little more annoying since most of us can’t fly over Moscow anymore. Instead I opted for 2 nights in Istanbul on the way there, flying Stockholm to SAW, and then IST to Baku.

I'm heading to Baku for the F1 grand prix next week, but frankly Azerbaijan is a mystery to me.

Do anyone know of any local dishes I must sample while I'm there? I got a few days before the GP (landing Wednesday afternoon), so should have time to go looking. Their cuisine seems to be somewhat of a mix of Turkish and European,

So far I got Dushbara, Govurma, Shah Plov and Kata on my list.

As for sightseeing, I'm going to visit as much of old town (Icheri Sheher) as possible (which is also where my F1 seats are, heh), not sure how much will be closed off due to the GP, but if anyone have any specific recommendations I'm all ears.

Also, looks like buying the BakuCard for 1 week is a good

I have some lima beans (and some duck confit legs) in my pantry I wish to use

Are they any good in a cassoulet, or should I use regular small white bean’s instead (which I also have in the pantry)

I sometimes (often?) buy to many lemons and then forget about them, and so I end up with lemons that are essentially rock hard on the outside.

Are there any use for them? I've tried zesting/peeling them in the past, but that doesn't really work.

Can I rehydrate them somehow in a bowl of water and use them in cooking somehow, or should I just throw them in the bin?
