Working on the hotel block - the woman who handles the block bookings at the better priced and free parking hotel was away on holiday for the last 3 weeks so I finally tracked her down on Friday and we hopefully will sort the details this week.

Not pretty, but tasty. Baked potato with chili and cheese.

@blue_dolphin I would so eat that. So colourful, I can almost taste it. Since the surgery two weeks ago, I have been working on figuring out what I can eat without issues. I made my chicken stew last week and it sat well. So this morning I made another chicken stew with dumplings for Moe's breakfast and I'm going to take it to work for lunch. I like both my chicken and beef stews to be very brothy, not thick. This is Moe's bowl, hence the carrots.

Count me in, Ruth already had you add me to the list. Jared A.

I just scaled a recipe for frozen roasted peach yogurt. The recipe called for roasting 32 Oz. Of peaches with sugar which gave me 7.75 ounces of roasted peaches of which I used 2.25 ounces for this experiment. I don't need to add any sugar, just a bit of lemon juice and vanilla. I'll blitz that and freeze it. Hope it works. Edit: i should have said yogurt, not ice cream. Sorry for any confusion.

What are the favorite knife shops in Tokyo? @Duvel - have you any insight?

I don’t have this thing but I do have the Ninja Creami and regularly scale ice cream recipes down to one pint. Most work just fine but anything that needs to be held at a simmer or thereabouts for more than a couple of min can end up with too much evaporation because the surface area to volume ratio tends to get too high, compared to a bigger batch. That’s been the case in the 1 qt saucier I use. That would be something to watch for.

The Rice Factory just got in a shipment from the 2025 rice harvest. So I had to indulge. 5 lbs. of Hokkaido Yumepirika - 50% milled 5 lbs. of Minamiuonuma Koshihikari - as white rice (100% milled) - this is the classic sushi rice Some pickling mixture to push the total above the free shipping level.

@ElsieD out of curiosity , your unit from Costco came w 4 ' cups ' I corrected my initial Amazon ref post to 3 , as that version had 3 . cheaper w more cups @ Costco , but no extra cups there or AMZN.CA Odd.

Thank you for that link @AAQuesada. Unfortunately shipping is more than the trimoline! Will see if they have more items that I need so that I can bring the item cost to shipping cost ratio to something more reasonable. Hoping someone else has a source that is closer to Virginia.

Isn't that great?!

I agree, and I wish I had the chance to eat seafood by the sea. I've done it, hope to do it again, but right now I'm enjoying the vicarious trip. I would have an awful time choosing what to eat, given those menus! The menus and the food shown look wonderful, but I'd be tempted to have conch chowder, or conch fritters, each and every time. I'm glad you, @liamsaunt, are more adventuresome that that.

That would even fit in the Princessmobile!

@ElsieD waiting for your review.

For you, @rotuts Fits like a glove.

On-line it was $79.99 at Costco USA. If the on-line pricing differs the same way as ours does for this, it might be $69.99. (enabler that i am)

Other than the cold water, the waves look just right for bodysurfing. Just sayin' 😉 Food looks fantastic, too! Eating seafood by the sea is one of my favorite things.

" Fits in a drawer ' Oooooo , Ooooooooo .

Sheesh. Another reason I may have to join Costco!

I bought it at Costco and the in-store price was 89.99.

AMZN.CA : so : why two prices ? and @ElsieD how did you get the lower price ? looking forward to your report tomorrow reviews , if believed , are good as Ive said , its a pretty chilly day here , and , ....

That's what I'd like to do. However, I can't find where, if anywhere, they are selling extra cups and that includes Cuisinart.ca. I plan to call Cuisinart tomorrow. If I can't find more cups, i'm thinking that after the base is made and frozen in these cups, a quick dunk in hot water should release the goods and I can quickly bag them and put them back in the freezer.

Not to be a bit of an enabler , but there is an Amazon ' coupon ' , good until Feb 19th bringing the price down to $ 101. two extra cups are $ 19 , thus for $ 120 , the original price , you get 5 cups. just saying.

The unit comes w 3 cups so , is you have the freezer space , and the unit works well you could make a more standard sized Rx , and have 3 ( or so ) individual servings depending on the Rx's unit volume. or buy a few more processing cups , and have a variety of individual servings .

Hopefully someone comes up with a suggestion closer to you but Surfas here in Los Angeles carries it and looks like it's available online. Funny that it didn't come up when I searched trimoline. I've seen it in the store so I knew they had it and it popped up under invert sugar. https://www.surfasonline.com/products/inverted-sugar-20oz
