Indeed. I've donated many volumes over the years. It's a good program, and I've both cooked and taken classes in their kitchen.

Good idea. I'll check.

From my cookbooks: Sussman uses bicarb, as does Abood; Roden uses bicarb or baking powder (your choice); Ottolenghi uses powder plus flour. Whether to add it after the mix has been chilled, I have no input or thoughts about that.

Looks to me that the person was being intentionally humorous.

After 200+ views and zero replies, I guess it's almost time to donate them to our public library system or to our community college's culinary program's library. So, it's your last chance here. Make me an offer...

Took me a few moments, though.

Does your fasting regimen allow for any nutritional intake? For example, my chiro sips bone broth on his fasting days.

There's got to be more to this story, but I'm not sure I want rattling around my brain.

Yes, this, absolutely.

Would, yes. Could, probably, if I'm patient. The one I have my eye on (both eyes, actually, although I usually alternate) has been for sale for nearly a month; the asking price was just lowered from $75.

Yes, that's what I was wondering. As you know, there's a convection oven setting, which is what an air fryer does, so I'm told.

Article in the Atlantic

(Moved here from the air fryer cooking forum) So -- Someone a half-hour drive from me is selling a "rarely used" Instant Vortex Plus, the one with the rotisserie. They're asking $50, so I probably could offer $40. We sort of have the counter space for it, and I hate passing up a bargain, but I'm trying to figure out whether we'd actually use it enough to justify even the $40. We usually don't eat frozen convenience foods, except for Amy's pizza. We might occasionally use the rotisserie for a small chicken. We roast vegetables regularly. Our friend who has the same model said she uses hers to toast bagels. (!) Our GE gas stove has an air fryer setting, although of course it's a much bigger space. We also have a full-sized Breville toaster oven but w/o a separate air fryer setting. Thoughts? Questions?

From the September 2 New Yorker, my kind of humor:

I've used Kohuko Rose for several years now, buying when it's on sale at Zingerman's. (It's out of stock now.)

Our library system has four on order; I just reserved a copy.

I have no words. At least there's an ocean between it and us, for now. I wonder if there's time for Customs & Border Protection to add it to the banned items list. At first I thought the article was lifted from The Onion or similar, but, sadly, no. Does any UK-based eG'er want to take one for the team?

Found on Etsy

Thanks, Yvette. Unfortunately, we were too involved with eating and drinking and talking, so I'm afraid it'll be up to your imagination...

I seldom, if ever, post in this topic, but I'm proud of the menu we concocted for tonight's gluten-free dinner with two good friends. Ham and Swiss La Quercia Coppa Americano, Mrs. Dog’s mustard, Simple Mills almond crackers Meyer lemon French 75 Caprese salad Buffalo milk mozzarella, local + our tomatoes, our basil, Roi olive oil, Maldon sea salt Marcella bean salad Smoked salmon, local zucchini, local Paula Red apples, our chive blossoms, our parsley, toasted almond slivers Fennel pollen vinaigrette, garlic oil Greywacke Sauvignon Blanc 2023 (Marlborough, New Zealand) Tawse Riesling Icewine 2013 (Niagara Peninsula VQA, Canada) [We were too full, sad to say. Once was a time...] Pawpaw cheesecake Simple Mills pecan cookie + Costco pistachio crust Michigan honey-lavender ice cream

Right. The implication, though, was to start green vegetables (except green potatoes, which you should toss ^_^) in boiling water.

By a pleasant coincidence, Ottolenghi chimes in:

Yes, this

I always oven roast at 400F, wrapped in foil (the beets, not me). Rinse, dry, rub with avocado or grapeseed oil, wrap. After they're done and have cooled a bit, they're easy to peel by rubbing with paper towels.
