My brother made this nice little step stool for me out of curly maple. It fits under a shelf and is easy to slide into place since it has felt pads on the feet. I also use tongs. I’m only 5’3” on a good day so upper cupboards tend to be populated with less used items.

One more thing. I make cranberry sauce from fresh cranberries - using the recipe on the bag but substituting red wine for all of the water. Also throw in a strip or two of orange peel. The wine does something very nice to the cranberries and the whole business takes about 10 minutes.
Port is also a good choice.

A Guardian columnist's take: Is this cooking for idiots? My week eating nothing but "recipe box" food
QuoteUnlike standard veg boxes, which feel like homework (what do you do with celeriac?), recipe boxes are the clever kid who’ll let you copy their work in class. They tell you what to cook, how to cook it and only give you enough ingredients to get it done. The recipes, which change every week, are broken down into an almost insultingly easy series of steps. The boxes make you feel like a kitchen pro, while removing the need to think or make choices. Are they the perfected form of home cooking? Or a symptom of our spoonfed uselessness? Can one live exclusively on them? To find out, I have ordered a selection of the best boxes available in the UK, and I’m going to spend nearly 10 days comparing them. I’ll barely have to leave the house, and will pass that time exclusively eating. In other words: the dream, squared.

Interesting, my mom never bought blancmange as far as I know when we lived in BC. I would like to know of a name of a product that I can substitute, if it is not the same as vanilla pudding.
Based on what @Kasia, who posted the recipe, said, this looks look like it would do the trick: https://www.amazon.ca/Pearce-Duffs-Assorted-Blancmange-146g/dp/B0051C0Q92

These same people don't eat eggs or cheese or milk or butter or mayo(OMG), for which no animal died or even suffered. Logic is not in play here.
Those are vegans, no?

Sad to hear this. She also had a book of her own I do believe about cooking for one which was quite interesting.
Yes she did and had a blog on the same subject: The Pleasures of Cooking for One
-
She had an amazing career as an editor: "Among her early achievements was finding a masterpiece amid the rejects: “The Diary of Anne Frank.”"

FWIW, I almost always find the best deal on used books at https://www.abebooks.com/
It's a subsidiary of Amazon.
https://www.bookfinder.com is also often very helpful in finding the best deal on used books.
I agree. AbeBooks is a really good resource.

Quite some actually. It's part of the experience and actually what the locals come for ...
Yes I like the carts too. All those temptations rolling by.

I love the "this handle is disinfected four times a day" sign. Very reassuring.
Are there a lot of restaurants in Hong Kong still using carts for dim sum? Here in Vancouver they are an endangered species.

I have quite a number of them and I found them all interesting but none of them grabbed me as some books can. That is hardly a review. Just a brief comment. If any of them really turn your crank you might want to borrow them from the library and make a final decision although at the prices they are it's hard to lose.
At these prices I buy them and read them like novels before bedtime. If I'm really inspired I'll buy the hard copy.

Yes! That!
Can you give a quick description of how one "cater-wraps"? I don't have a problem with using plastic wrap but I'm curious.

Ah ha, the chef is from Canada (Ottawa, not Ottowa as Amazon would have it) so I had to buy it.
