I am very jealous that you got sea sisters tins!

Why does my ice cream always come out soft or runny when I use my ice cream maker, even after churning for the full time? Could it be because of the ingredients I’m using, the freezer bowl not being cold enough, or some mistake in the process? What are the main reasons that prevent ice cream from setting to a firm, scoopable texture?

Do we get a report? Please, would you consider sharing a little about the culinary aspects of your trip?

I love these tomatoes! About once a year or so, I order a few jars of these great Italian tomatoes. They were introduced to me in the mid - late 1980's by the manager of a small, local Italian specialty shop. They had, I think, three, maybe four stores, and carried some great products from Italy. These tomatoes just blew me away ...so every now and then I grab a few jars and use 'em for special dishes. I cook them very lightly, closer to just being warmed or heated than cooked down. Just thinking about 'em makes me smile.

I don't watch cooking videos, to be honest. This one was sent to me by a niece who goes down odd rabbit holes, and weird cooking videos is a current track she's running on (along with true crime, and icky "medical oddities" videos, which sometimes overlap with the true crime).

Just wanted to quickly say thanks to all for the suggestions. Took as many as I could and they greatly helped the trip.

Haul from recent trip to London. All of it a good deal cheaper than the states, even with the current exchange rate

I *detest* people that waste good food for clicks like this. The ponytail guy is usually just chucking barbecue sauce into smashed up pringles and cheese, he features on chef reacts fairly often

So, you've just splurged on a 1-pound Wagyu ribeye. How you gonna cook it? Show of hands... who said "poach that bad boy in maple syrup"? Anyone? Anyone? ("...Bueller?")

But I don't eat durian pizza!

Blasphemous! But then again, you eat durian ice cream with a shovel, no less!

... and that's the best one! Although, I've always thought pizza is over-rated.

I wasn't really hungry. Started with some chips and salsa. Then had some sliced peach and half an almond croissant from my neighbor's daughter's bakery. Stuffed!

@liamsaunt Thank you . your trips are always a pleasure to follow. love the look of that fish market.

This forum needs an "I'm so sorry" reaction. That vague attempt at a "pizza" upsets me.

Succumbed to my annual pizza delivery, having missed two years. This is the only vaguely edible pizza in town. 黑松露帕尔马火腿比萨 (hēi sōng lù pà ěr mǎ huǒ tuǐ bǐ sà), Black Truffle, Parma Ham Pizza. The promised 'basil' turned out to be rocket / arugula and came in its own plastic bag to be put on top and wilt in the residual heat. It wasn't bad, but over-salted.

Colds and flu like nasties have resulted in not much cooking going on here lately. Tonight we had a nice pork chop, cabbage and bacon with zucchini and stewed apple.

Five hours. Overdone but not inedible. The ribs did not look done when I checked at three hours. Also there was a problem that I neglected to replenish the pellets when they ran out.

Me. I'm faster. I get them before he knows they're gone. In all fairness I don't think he thinks about it unless it's right in front of him. If you like the oysters it doesn't serve to broadcast it.

Always - the cook.

The fishing charters are very expensive, and the water out where they go is pretty rough, so I have not been tempted to go. I often see people fishing from the shore with pricy gear, but have never seen anyone catch anything 😂. I am happy to patronize the markets instead. I know in the off season you can go down to the fish piers and buy directly from the boats when they come in, but I don’t think that’s offered in the summer. We drove home this morning, but are heading back out on the weekend for a couple more weeks. The first week will be in Wellfleet, and then we are going over to Martha’s Vineyard for a week. Final breakfast at the Inn. I was done with rich food! After we checked out of the hotel, we walked over to the fish pier to go to the market. It was extremely windy. Boats lined up I took a couple pictures of the fish case. We bought tuna for tomorrow night, and had black sea bass this evening (I’ll put that photo on the dinner thread) Thats it for this visit.

I had some candied fruit left from making panettone and I decided to toss that in at the end. I wish now that I hadn't but they are still good.

@Tropicalsenior Those look really good. What are the red bits I see poking out?

The real question is who gets the oysters? 😊

Ribs again, pork spareribs. Temperature 93C, as last time, with sweetwood blend. I salted for two hours and used a rub recipe from Meathead. Wish me luck.
