Pimenton is irreplaceable for me. Cinnamon is likewise.

I can't see how they can upgrade an immersion circulator, esp since they've backed away from ( the stupid) wifi

From " once they're gone they're gone forever" I infer that they have new stuff coming out.

Anova is running an $89 sale on their SV unit. 200 ish normally

Having no one to cook for, it is harder to get interested. I find that when my wife is away I tend to cook little dishes...tapas-ish, rather than full meals. Not too much work, still interesting.

A bargain on eBay..~$30 for a set

For the first time in 30 or more years I'm not cooking. Family is all elsewhere. So we are going to he Hotel duPont in Wilmington. A grand old joint with a fine restaurant that's doing a TG dinner. Should be nice. https://images.app.goo.gl/gRaXmLPRSQHPFqwZ7

Re attention spans,I have none...thats my complaint with youtube and blog posts. There is a high noise to signal ratio. Id rather read a recipe for 30 seconds than watch it acted out over 10 minutes.

Claibourne's NYT cookbook...Beard's theory and practice...CIA's Professional Chef...Prudhomme's Seasoned America ...any Olney..and the whole Time-Life series which for the time was groundbreaking I have lots of other favorites, but I can't say they changed cooking.

The omissions on the list are staggering. But of course. 😀

PHX-PHL American Airlines A chicken breast, terribly overcooked. The rice was nice. They served the rolls this time.

a mushroom fritata/omelet roasted tomatoes and sweet potato bread was never served bloody mary was nourishing, though

PHL to PHX American Airlines. Gross breakfast.

The shad fishery in PA/NJ/DE may be expanding as more and more dams are removed and breeding runs are restored.

Lufthansa still pulls it off.
