  1. I second the Screwpull recommedation!
  2. King Arthur Flour has amazing customer service, perhaps partially because they are an employee-owned company. I received one large order that had a few dirty items in it; customer service figured out that UPS had broken the shipping box and re-packed it. King Arthur replaced ALL the food items in that order, not just those I had called to their attention.
  3. I haven't seen his shows, but enjoy his books: Martin Yan's Asia: Favorite Recipes from Hong Kong, Singapore, Malaysia, the Philippines, and Japan Martin Yan's Feast: The Best of Yan Can Cook
  4. Shortbread, particularly the brown sugar variety. Banana and other nut breads. Gingerbread and fresh ginger cake.
  5. For cooked dishes, the frozen spinach saves much time and effort in washing. And washing. And washing it again....
  6. Still on the shrimp topic, shrimp that haven't been divested of their digestive tract. Ewwww.
  7. This IS an excellent soup; I've been making it for at least 5 years now.
  8. "Order a Thermapen in the next 24 hours and get FREE SHIPPING (FedEx Ground). Use this Promo Code in our shopping cart to activate the free shipping offer. Available only to our email subscribers. Expires Saturday (Jan. 15) at 12:00 noon MST. CODE: FREESHIP11 "
  9. If you are one of their e-mail subscribers, there is a code for free shipping good until noon MST on the 15th. I just added the purple one to my collection.
  10. You can cut a thin slice off the potato's ends in lieu of poking holes in them.
  11. If it is a very soft dough, it will adhere to the terrycloth loops.
  12. Or use aluminum foil - regular or nonstick - instead of parchment.
  13. Oh, my. Thanks so much for this suggestion--it is fabulous (even without the lemongrass and part of the garnish; I'm trying to cook out of the pantry stock)! I am already thinking of substitutes for the chicken, and other vegetables that would rock with this curry.

    Gilded Nuts

    Is this a "trustworthy" recipe? In my experience, metallic leaf sticks best to a tacky surface - not a nonstick one. And you DO realize that most readily available leaf products are alloys, and NOT edible? That being said, use whatever is edible and least expen$ive.
  15. Fishs Eddy - See Here! - has myriad designs at decent prices. If you are willing to reconsider your ban on solid colors, Fiesta Ware has a somewhat handmade vibe to it, and wonderful colors: Look here!
  16. It is a capable dough-maker/riser, but a terrible baker. Do follow your instincts and bake in the oven!!!
  17. You should be alright; might want to lower your oven temp by 25F so the center will be done before the top over-browns.

  19. Substitute chickpeas (canned okay here) for the lentils for another quick and tasty meal. Top with cheese if you desire.
  20. If you want your rice a bit softer, do add a bit more water than the mark on the pot. I adore my Sanyo rice cookerS; they handle everything from quinoa to wild rice and steel-cut oats. They also make a mean bread pudding.

  22. Anna Thomas's "Love Soup" is a new - 2009 - favorite here.
  23. Having shopped both chains in the U.S. - both stores have mostly private-label products. The "high-end" Aldi brand - is it Grandessa? - seems to be the same as Trader Joe's, at least in jams/preserves and some of the teas. Trader Joe's IS more upscale and has infinitely more customer service.
  24. From Carol Field's "The Italian Baker": Florentine onion and pea soup - vivid colors and delicious to boot.
