Is this delivery place specializing in "pizza"? or pizza is just one of their offerings in a multi-page menu? It looks (from the photo!) that they're just cutting/pasting the pizza image onto the wooden board.... wonder if they ever sell any of these?

I like what I like and I doubt I'd change my eating habits if I ever had such a windfall. Maybe I could afford to indulge in what I like more often (champagne, fois gras) than once a year. But the question makes me think of what I would really miss if I couldn't afford it anymore..... just today I was wondering what else we would/could have for Christmas dinner (usually I get a beef roast like a prime rib) because the price of beef is just insane....

I have 17 more days til ours is opened. Unless I cave before that day... which if there are more additions to this thread as @rotus uses his new one, i may well do!

It just got delivered and I so want to just bring it home today lol; but then I'd feel obligated to get another gift for the actual birthday

Done and Done! gets delivered tomorrow (ha, if you believe anything Prime says) but his birthday is in two weeks. So shipped to the shop !

oh you people ... such enablers. my husband has finally seen the light regarding his diet after a brief scare (thinking he had colon cancer, he doesn't; his cholesterol is high enough to warrant action though) and is now insisting on brown rice, steel cut oatmeal and a host of other things he would never eat before. Aside from the fact that I now have to share my brown rice (!) I'm seriously considering getting a rice cooker because he would be more inclined to use it. His birthday is in a few weeks so it can be a birthday gift... Strike while the iron is hot, so to speak. (And now he embraces the fact that we've been in the Bean Club for so long instead of complaining about the bean bags all over the pantry LOL) there is going to be no room on my counter soon for all the appliances on it (the Smart Oven, the bread machine, the KA, the air fryer...) I think it's time I get a stainless steel table in the kitchen for the appliances or my prep space! @rotuts which model did you get? and thank you @DesertTinker for the link to the articles, they're very helpful

why oh why did I start reading this thread..... OK, Black Friday is coming, Black Friday is coming...

Did Mary your lunch lady give you the recipe she used? I've never had succotash and now I'd like to try it. I always gave away the lima beans and sometimes traded the Royal Coronas in my Bean box but now I'll save them to make this...

I was reading this thread with increasing anticipation, saying "he'd *better* have bought that or I will, and send it to him, take that man out of his misery!" And, I don't have one of these so I can't relate to the devotion but I can absolutely appreciate it! Please tell us when it arrives and if your pan fits

Ewww to the Barbie food and licking a battery? Who does that? and why?

I would try spraying ever so lightly with Pam or another cooking spray - you could even spray a wadded up paper towel and just run it around the pie plate; and I'm thinking if you use something (like caramel bars or few rulers taped down ) as a guide when you're rolling (you know those rings they put on the edges of rolling pins so you can roll it to an even thickness) that can help. Chilling the dough definitely helps. If you decide some day to par bake your pie, you might want to experiment with this method. When we have small pie shells to bake (they're in foil tins) we bake them upside down so they don't shrink. I put an empty pie tin in the dough lined tin and flip it over on a piece of parchment on a sheet pan. You can't really do that with a glass pie plate though. But if you ever wanted to try something different - those disposable pie tins are pretty cheap (both in terms of $ and quality)

what kind of pie plate are you using (glass or metal)? have you ever tried spraying the pie plate first (very lightly) before fitting the dough in? Or even use a little crisco instead of butter on the pie plate?

I knew I would regret not buying one of these..... I'll wait for Black Friday

is a commercially available compound not an option? Amoretti makes a tiramisu, and MEC3 also makes on (I think that one is for gelato) but I don't know what that would do to your water content

I order directly from the bakery the website https://www.ohdanishbakery.com/everyday-kringle-favorites And you can get the pecan one all year round
