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

Asparagus dressed with pancetta vinaigrette and topped with a boiled egg. Spicy cornmeal biscuit and little tomatoes on the side.

I'll let you know tomorrow.

My only question is: A cup is enough for 2 people?

I should have mentioned that I paid $90 Cdn. for this. It comes with a rather meager instruction and recipe book. There are only 12 recipes, none containing eggs. However, I intend to scale down one of my favourite ice cream recipes that use eggs to see how that works. The one I'm thinking of is roasted strawberry ice cream. I roasted the strawberries in the summer when they were at their peak and they are in the freezer. I'll also be trying a peach yogurt. Same thing, peaches were frozen last summer. Meanwhile, last night I made the vanilla ice cream mixture from the book and will spin it tomorrow. That recipe consists of 1/2 cup heavy cream, 1/4 cup whole milk, 3 T granulated sugar, 1 teaspoon vanilla and a pinch of salt. It does look like a hand-held version on the Creami and the churning blade looks the same. We'll see how it goes. I'll keep you posted.

Hello, Count me in! Thank you! -Anna

since its almost feeling like freezing as I type this inside I did a little googling : https://www.foodandwine.com/cuisinart-ice-cream-maker-launch-williams-sonoma-11785357 '''' I’m not often surprised by an appliance, but Cuisinart’s answer to the Ninja Creami proved me wrong. Not only have I bequeathed precious drawer space to the frozen dessert maker, I also refuse to give it away like I originally intended. While it can’t completely replace an ice cream maker, it’s a fun and (somewhat) affordable option for half-pint cravings on demand. ''' [ ed.: there certainly is a patina of ' self-serving ' here and there on the internet ] https://www.consumerreports.org/health/ice-creams-frozen-desserts/cuisinart-fastfreeze-frozen-treat-maker-review-a5046183891/ ''''' The Creami boasts seven presets, while the FastFreeze comes with five—but let’s be honest: How often will you really need to make anything more than ice cream, sorbet, milkshakes, slushies, and frozen desserts with mix-ins like candy and cookies? The FastFreeze is more than adequate for most of your delish dessert needs. ''' https://www.amazon.com/Cuisinart-FastFreeze-Milkshakes-Slushies-ICE-FD10/dp/B0FFCSVHLN?th=1 etc looks quite interesting
