I hated our drainer, the tray underneath always seemed kinda gross, so I tossed it out years ago. I put a dish towel on the counter for a quick drain, and finish up drying with another and put the dishes away within a half hour or so.

I am not a Walmart shopper, but I just made an exception when I discovered that I could have White Lily flour delivered to MN for pickup at no extra cost. Soft lovely biscuits are now so much easier!! (and, you don’t even have to go inside to pick up!)

These are things of beauty!

The mention of “decor” towels spurred me to share this one, mounted on the wall above a door... it has never even been threatened by the proximity of wet hands/dishes.

Can’t answer for most... but some do.

Heheheh..... no crawl outs, have a cling wrap cover in place!! (“Cover” being a politer version of what we actually call it )

Our Dustbuster is called “the bug sucker”

I just did some comparison readings with the OT probe and my Thermapen and found that the probe seems to be consistently reading about 5 degrees cooler. I can live with this and now know to double check anything needing a truly precise temp. Added observation... when the water reached a full roiling boil, both the both the probe and the Thermapen agreed... on 209 degrees

When we were kids requesting birthday cake colors, my mom outright refused to do blue frosting. She grew up in a copper mining town and the color reminded her of the toxic tailings.... “blue is the color of poison “, end of discussion.

My broken unit was replaced in a very timely manner and I spent yesterday figuring out just how many of my pans won’t work with it I now have a pot tester magnet hanging on the fridge. So far, have boiled water.

That might not be a bad idea. The packaging on mine all looked to be in perfect shape, so whatever blow did it in was not obvious in any way. They did respond promptly in a non specific way, asking for patience in resolving, so I am being patiently hopeful that I get a timely, unbroken replacement.

Mine arrived with the glass top cracked in 3 places, boohoo! I am awaiting a reply from the Tasty folks as to what happened next. Hoping you all have better luck.

I found this reference to ridged bottoms... http://www.ebay.com/gds/How-to-Buy-Vintage-Le-Creuset-Cookware-/10000000178608351/g.html

Yowsers... UPS left a package that I could barely haul into the house today... down the rabbit hole!!!

I see mine is scheduled for delivery on Nov. 9th.

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"

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!
