Seems to be pistachios from Iran that are the culprit.

Looks like epis to me - cut with scissors as I recall. King Arthur recipe

The plan is Montreal if all goes well.

‘Endangered’ British puddings - love it!

This arrived from Italy today - ordered it in July. Farina bóna - can't remember why I had to have it - but first things - in chocolate and gelato.

I found after a long painful overnight call that a greasy breakfast was just what the doctor ordered!

Sorry about that.

No - I'm in Canada! No where near you I'm afraid.

Ok - so I can't drop some off for you!

It's called soft white fondant. Where are you located?

Welcome @Sweet-Tempered - @Chocolot is the one to answer caramel questions. Actually also the one to answer fondant questions. You want real fondant - I buy it - in huge pails - but you can make it following instructions in @Chocolot's book Candymaking.

Familiar with piccalilli and Branston - what’s Gentleman's Reliah?

Just a strip that has gone out of temper likely. Looks like the block wasn't cooled properly when it was formed.

We are Canadians - we are nice!

Winnipeg and Sudbury apparently are the closest (which isn't really closest). We should have sent one over before the deminimus ended, wonder when we will know if that gets overturned by the courts along with the tariffs

Me too!

Yup - that's the Ooni.

New toy. 22 inch classic Flax seed oil for seasoning Couple of Oklahoma Smash Burgers - mine with cheddar - hubby's without

Serrated knife for me.

It's more like the food I buy for other people rather than cooking for them.

I suspect if I won - other people would eat better!

My mother used to make a chicken a la king mixture - peas and mushrooms as I recall - in purchased ‘patty shells’ from Weil’s bakery in Hamilton - a favourite meal!

That was my other choice!

Missing @Anna N today. Out to lunch by myself while waiting to take my sister to an appointment. Her retirement home is right next to ‘Saving Thyme’ - a little bistro that Anna and I enjoyed. It was packed with lunching ladies! One empty table upon my arrival. opted for the confit chicken leg - so many options but hard to choose wrong.

Their bog-standard versions are actually my favourite! I have Neapolitan and vanilla in the freezer currently.
