[Chris Kimball is leaving America's Test Kitchen - contract dispute]

I love the show and Chris, Ill have nothing to watch now.

[Dishwasher detergent]

Okay, Im sorry, I posted the above last night while I was half asleep. So I looked on Amazon for any kind of "portable water softener"....

 

There are three kinds

 

1) a ball type that you put on the top rack http://www.amazon.com/dp/B003FFJZ3A/

2) a electronic type which threads over your pipes that electrostatically treats the water in the pipes http://www.amazon.com/Eddy-Electronic-Water-Descaler-Alternative/dp/B003Z96GR4/

3) a portable type that uses salt that hooks to your water line via a hose (two sizes house and RV) http://www.amazon.com/dp/B0050EF894/

 

Does anyone have any of these? Even with illegal detergents my dishes dont get all the way clean so Im looking for alternatives

[Chris Kimball is leaving America's Test Kitchen - contract dispute]

Last Sunday he read a viewer letter that someone had wrote, who told him that "Chris Kimball shouldnt be on the show, cause he does nothing"

And it was odd how he didnt really respond with anything, and it cut to the credits....

 

Very odd

On Amazon there is a portable water softener that can be placed under your sink

Can I put a mesh bag of rock salt on the top rack?

[How People Eat and How It's Changing]

In 1979, my Mother got a copy of the Pillsbury Kitchen Cookbook...I recall making the Zesty BBQ Sauce and thinking it was delicious. Thats 36 yrs ago and

I made it today and it was so nasty. How could it be so yummy in 1979 and so awful in 2015?

 

I calls for a whole lemon thinly sliced. Ill bet its the rind and pith,

 

UGH

[How People Eat and How It's Changing]

 

^^Kinda too fast but interesting...the Chicken Ala King looked odd though

[Dishwasher detergent]

Well Ive been buying Illegal detergents and their efficacy has been declining and I think my dishwasher (3 yrs old) is being destroyed with this horribly hard water.

I think Im gonna wash it in a whole bottle of CLR

HA! Is this a Letterman bit?

 

 

"Know Your Cuts Of Meat!"

[Making Your Own Condiments]

Hi,

 

What is the deal with mustard seeds/flour, not developing heat if theyve had vinegar added or whatever?

How do I get a very very hot mustard essence. Do I let the ground mustard seeds lay out in oxygen or add

Water or Everclear instead of acid?

 

What is the deal?

[The *ahem* aftereffects of Jerusalem Artichokes]

Just as a side reference...

When Inulin is used as a sweetener in a low carb treat I have the awful stomach issues..

[Worst cooking show ever]

Okay I had to laugh a big schadenfreude laugh...Steven Raichlen just said that halfway thru writing his one cookbook his wife and daughter became vegetarians!

 

Im evil...

[50 lbs of black walnuts]

Honestly? Im an adventurous eater (except when it comes to goat products) but one of my top ten most favorite foods ever is the BLACK WALNUT LAYER CAKE from Shady Maple Farmers Market in East Earl, Pa....Its just a plain white cake with chopped black walnuts in it, plain white frosting dusted with more chopped black walnuts.

 

PERFECTION

[The *ahem* aftereffects of Jerusalem Artichokes]

But the entire reason (FOR ME) to eat them is as a lower carb tater sub. If the inulin gets converted to fructose, wouldnt that raise the carbs too?

[The *ahem* aftereffects of Jerusalem Artichokes]

Beano is good only for certain carbs, those with alpha galactoside carbohydrates...eg beans.  Inulin is different, so it ought not to work with J-chokes

 

 

Bean-O Helps with Sugar Alcohols and other off label foods

[The *ahem* aftereffects of Jerusalem Artichokes]

Maybe Bean-O would help?

 

They are lower carb so they are a great Fauxtato.

Yeah, I love them but I cannot eat them anymore. Id eat them everyday if they werent like that.
