For those who have the Gripstic’s, what are your most used sizes?
-
The cat food aisles in all our stores here look just like that. Dry food is pretty readily available, canned has been a real struggle to find for the last two years. 😱

Vacuum bag in whatever size you think you’ll use in reasonable time, or the amount you typically cook in a batch. Don’t forget to label it!

Airline Food: The good, the bad and the ugly

Well that was a blast from the past! I’d forgotten about Western Airlines. -
This has been a very windy year here too! Awww! Your poor little tots!😱 Love the shirts, but it was definitely the green bean error, once I found it. 🤪 (Sorry for the weird formatting, “quotes” are acting up for me.)

Not true?

Actually, I’ve been thinking about this. Favorite spatula meets juicer. Flavor? Major note, DOH!! (ala Homer Simpson), with hints of regret and bitterness, with a finishing note of sadness on the back of the tongue.

Also 🤣. I think at some point everyone forgets a step, eventually!

And R.G. bean cookery.🤣

I’ve seen a few over the years, but, as you noted, having “potato skin” on the inside was something I found fascinating.

No! No! No! Stop it! The bad ideas topic!

Today around lunchtime I was joking with husband (after the usual “What do you want? I dunno, what do you feel like?….”). I said “It’d be easier if we ate like Max (cat in avatar). Then you posted the above. 😂 apparently it is possible! Here’s Max’s food. -
Also, eggs are weird, sometimes they just don’t do what they’re supposed to do. After tons of 5 minute hard cooked eggs that just about peeled themselves, I got a batch that ended up cratered like the moon after my peeling attempts, they just wouldn’t give up their shells. Chucked the remains into the fridge for egg salad, did a second batch from the same carton and they came out perfect! Go figure…

I did a half recipe (2 lbs of potatoes, everything else halved), and they are very good. I might cut back on the garlic powder a bit, but it wasn’t overwhelming, just a bit more forward than I expected.

Here’s a link to the Bimbo USA brands. I’m sure you’ve heard of some of them.

At the local Vons (part of the Albertsons, Safeway, etc. family), AA Large eggs are now $4.99 for 18 “cage free”, the lowest available grade/size. Of course our local economy (and grocery selection) is now heavily influenced by being the primary retail access point to Joshua Tree National Park.

Such as Thermo Magnetic Imaging? 🤣

@JoNorvelleWalkerTMI=Too Much Information

Gotcha! Like unscrewing (at least older) Tupperware. 🙃
-
What?? Don’t unscrew the lid = no sweet ‘n icy treat! 😕

Maybe you could “special request” them from your favorite tomato vendor (maybe with a little something to help them remember food/nice card appreciating their dedication to agriculture and finer produce), or maybe say something along the lines of “One of my fondest childhood memories is my mother’s/grandmother’s fried green tomatoes. I know I can rely on you to help me out.”.
-
They refer to it as a “soil amendment”.

It appears to be a newer version of this FoodCycler, video from before they affiliated with VitaMix.
