This sounds like a great idea... how much tea did you use? edited because I don't know how to tag a name properly

I totally agree with you on this... great fun reading, and the recipes are not all goop and glop.

A Google image search of the same makes that seem like an excellent idea!

For your consideration, a couple of mid-century " classics"

http://www.midcenturymenu.com is one you might have fun with.

Oh boy, I post so rarely that I don't know if his link will show up properly, but I thought you might like it! https://www.mcsweeneys.net/articles/please-forgive-us-at-blue-apron-for-this-weeks-meals-weve-been-having-a-tough-time-lately

Thank you... I have a new blade coming.

Not trying to derail the thread, but one quick bread question, are you using the paddle or the dough hook on your KA?

I just finally got around to trying this for lunch... a little powdered New Mexico chile mixed in before cooking and a bit of butter and cheddar stirred in to finish, it was delicious and almost criminally easy! Thanks!

Thank you, I wasn't quite sure where to start.... point taken on the tester!

I need to bake and freeze up some lamb meatballs, and having recently taken the plunge on a CSO, I wondered if there would be any advantage to steam baking them over doing them in the regular oven, and if so, what you might suggest for time and temp. I am planning to use the recipe for Beacon's Meatballs that FatGuy posted on the meatball thread once upon a time. I tried searching, but have not come up with any combination of terms that gets me anywhere. Any guidance is surely appreciated, even though I am a consummate lurker, you are all my trusted advisors in many matters of the kitchen... including the purchase of way too many books and toys.

It was the whole chapter on Cocktail Cookies that sucked me in.... I love savory over sweet most any day.

My best guess is that it is a big country and they don't have the sales force in place... But I have, upon ocasion, been known to be wrong. Canada is also a very large country. I would not be at all comfortable with that sales model, and am not entirely comfy with even the thought that I would have to call someone to discuss the purchase, which is the case here. No option to just buy online.

The cost info that they sent me follows: COST: The Thermomix TM5 is $1,299 USD. For non-California residents there is no tax. SHIPPING: Shipping to your home is included at no cost to you. It will ship from Dallas and arrives quickly in just a few days from the date of your order. (Price includes free shipping to all mainland United States plus Alaska and Hawaii. Shipping to U.S. territories such as Guam, Puerto Rico, etc., is not included. Please contact order desk for an estimate.) I

This is all such great feedback... for the amount of money involved, I would hope to see the amount of love and devotion garnered by the Instant Pot! Very helpful, thanks!
