Haven't tried yet.

Done.

Anna forwarded me a recipe overnight in aid of using almond flour. It is Chocolate-Almond Situation This is it so far - now the recipe calls for a 9 inch round or square pan - however since the volume of a 9 inch square pan is bigger than that of a round - I swapped to an 8 inch square to get the same height. It's in the CSO right now.

You are so right!

Too lazy tonight to walk out to Low Island.

It is indeed part of the Control Freak. Wonder if you could buy it as an independent part? Here you go!

More carbs?

I had Anna reading out directions from online. Weighed the berries, added some water, simmered and squished a bit until they all popped. Hardest thing was rigging up a jelly bag out of a piece of a muslin swaddle cloth and then hanging it over the pot. Many rubber bands were harmed in the hanging of the jelly bag.

Butter poached egg. 5 minutes at 72º C on Control Freak.

A well deserved Eeyore's Requiem .

Barney's had freebie potatoes, peppers and broccoli today. Got Anna some more noodles as she quite enjoyed these ones. A few items from the grocery store. A trip to the fishmonger was a bust - no Nova Scotia lobsters left! I should have gone out earlier.

Paul Young brownies with the addition of gianduja bits.

Needed to deal with the remaining red currants before the black ones ripen. So made some jelly. Had great difficulty getting a picture.

And custards - try steaming flan or creme brûlée 40 min 190º.

Then a 3 1/2 from him is like a 5 from anyone else!

That’s the other cheese we have here.

Probably could have used a sprig of mint instead!

We had some strip loin and some chuck eye sous vided in the freezer, long enough in warm water in the sink to thaw, quick brown on the BGE. Garlic butter on ciabatta buns, quick trip on the BGE and dinner is served.

Here's the frog unmolded. The whole thing just turns inside out.

Dave Arnold's version 2. Pectinase enzyme (used the vintner's version) for an hour or so, cooked 14 min 30 seconds in 3% brine, fried 170 until firm, fried 195 until done. We didn't care for them. Way too salty, not crispy enough. Next experiments - I'd like to do the same but a less briny brine and only water blanched until done.

Applied the Esquire Formula again - perhaps not as successful as before - Anna felt it would be a waste for me to bin mine so she took one for the team and drank it for me. I reused the cherries from drink one and made drink two. It allowed me to create 3 dead soldiers. two Canadian whisky, one aperol. A much more satisfactory tipple.

Things brought home from work this morning. They know to bring me their bananas that are past it. No picture of the banana blueberry bread - it's in the freezer waiting for it's Monday morning debut.

You know Trader Joe's makes a chili lime seasoning?

Wow - no point! Though I would like a blower
