How to use frozen vegetables
I broke my hand, which made chopping fresh vegetables difficult, and so I stocked up on frozen vegetables. But then I healed more quickly than anticipated! I need to use them up in tasty ways that can handle the texture/moisture differences of frozen. [more inside]

NYC: Tasty Vegetarian Options south of 31st dining filter
What are some restaurants with tasty vegetarian options in Manhattan? Looking especially for places south of 31st, and ideally north of Houston. We'll be there in April, so if it's closing on March 31 don't tell us! We love Xi'an food but aren't sure Xi'an Famous Foods has anything vegetarian. We also love Malaysian food and can't get any Malaysian vegetarian options where we are. Outdoor dining is a plus.

Safe to eat pasta that was in the ref for 3 days?
Tomorrow would be 3 days since I cooked my pasta on Monday evening (a mixture of straight spaghetti and fusilli with spinach). No sauce, just tossed some butter on it while it was draining, then put in the refrigerator in an airtight container. Would it be safe to eat tomorrow, or toss?
How did I kill my brisket? And can it be revived?
Seems weird to ask here, but followed some good tips in a previous AskMe, so am hoping this question is fair game. [more inside]

Bakeries or chocolate shops in Athens Greece that hand-deliver?
I'm trying to send my Athens-based friend a time-sensitive gift. I don't live in Greece and I've been having a hard time finding places that will hand-deliver but which also accept a credit card order from outside of Greece. Any suggestions would be much appreciated! [more inside]

Bread storage
How do you store bread on the counter? Plastic or metal bread bin, cloth-covered basket, paper bag, waxed paper bag, etc? What are the features of your preferred storage device that keep your bread from going stale for a couple of days? I rotate all sorts of (non-Chorleywood) bread, from crusty sourdough to brioche - do you store the different types of bread differently? (Not interested in fridge or freezer storage, I have that covered)

Looking for your favorite non-meat burger recipe (ala hamburgers) I can make ahead, individually freeze and cook in my air fryer for lunch.
Currently cooking Impossible or Beyond burgers. Do you have something that might be a close substitute?
I have a huge bag of red onions, what can I do with them?
Hello all, a relative of mine gave me a huge bag of red onions, and I am not sure what to do with them. I know red onions are used in a lot of Indian curries and they are good in salads as well. What else can I do with them? I cannot eat eggs and I do not like seafood. I love Mediterranean, and Asian cuisine (Thai, Chinese, Japanese, and Vietnamese), Greek, Italian, and some Mexican (but open to other dishes with onions).

Midday meal in Madrid near Atocha?
Flight lands at 8, train leaves from Atocha at 2:30. I'm planning on stowing my bag at the train station and wandering around for a few hours. Do you have a recommendation for a good place nearby to have lunch? It would have to be on the earlier side I think, probably around noon or even a few minutes earlier (just for my own peace of mind, I don't want to be running through the train station searching for my platform at like 2:25). Or is there something else I should be doing with this time? This will be on a Tuesday a couple weeks from now, and I'll be on foot. Thank you!

Trying to replace a Italian whisky glass that broke
The other night, I inadvertently broke one of our whisky glasses.
I wouldn't normally worry about it but these glasses were a set that I purchased over 20 years ago while my wife and I were dating. There is no manufacturer mark.
I believe they are Italian crystal. 4.25" tall, 3.5" w at mouth, 3.0' wide at the base.
Would love to find a replacement. I've included a link to pics. Many thanks
