  1. I;' go the fool-proof quick route and use cornstarch slurry. Or if you happen to have instant potato flakes that might be a tasty twist.
  2. They were out when I started my order yesterday but back today. You can ask for an alert when an out of stock item returns.
  3. Yes I started noticing that at Trader Joes a number of years ago. I think I am back in ordering mode now though I bought a favorful sausage elsewhere today so the snausages are for future WF. They have ground elk again!
  4. Thanks. I assumed that the ones I wanted were fresh. Just the "uncured" was not something I am used to in a non dried sausage. Jumped to a conclusion - never a good plan. I am eyeing the freezer space I can use - so many temptations on their site.
  5. In getting ready to place my 2nd order I noticed alll the sausage products are "uncured". Is that just the recent "health trend" against nitrates?
  6. It sounds like a delicious set of options though misleading dish descriptor as bimimbap Anything that expands people's food views is gooid with me, Thanks.It all starts somewhere like "chop-suey" way backa when

    Dinner 2023

    Canned can be nice. I had my niece open a can the other night as my hands were rebelling and we both smiled and said "what a great smell". I love coconut.

    Breakfast 2023

    In my experience with many males it is the accompanying beer that weaponizes the digesting egg. So no booze - your're good.

    I understtand. I was doing this in the late 70's when coconut milk was a specialty item. But it was kinda fun- became 2nd nature.

    And if you really want to have fun (at least once) make your own coconut milk from a whole one. Crack open, pry/pop meat out with a round tip knife, and blend with hot water. Pour off and rpeat maybe 2 or 3 times. Just pour liquid off leaving solids. on round 2 or 3 do hand squeeze the solids. Yes a little of the brown "skin" stays in the flesh but no biggie.

    First Ground Elk

    Hello @Cleobeach The elk I used was from Wild Fork and is "pasture raised, grass fed, and grass finished". I imagine hunted elk have varied diets and living circumstances which can affect taste and texture. Skill in handling such lean meat of course also big deal. As an aside I've gone on this feed rids - fascinating to be so close up. https://www.highonadventure.com/hoa17mar/yvette/idaho-winter.htm

    Dinner 2023

    Sounds similar to many types of dough dumplings stuffed with potato + fried onion like pierogi. The package advert references Oktoberfest so seems like they tried to cover both the sausage and potato bases. Aah marketing
  18. Alternatively for a smooth quick gadget free coffe flavored cold beverage break out the jar of Nescafe instant. Yes there is one in my pantry. https://www.mygreekdish.com/recipe/greek-frappe-coffee-recipe-iced-coffee/
  19. I think you and I are more useed to seeing live colorful parrots as opposed to the seahorses of TCM. Fun item either way.
  20. Screams colorful parrot to me - incl beak
  21. Labware maybe but that clamp thing looks odd. The N/A flavor combinations do sound interesting.
  22. Treated myself to these dried wild mushroom. First date wil be in a spinach and pea blended soup with chewy Austrian dumplings. I may go off road and use the very flavorful lamb stock I ended up with from 2 more lamb shanks. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B006EY0XR6?ref=ppx_pt2_dt_b_prod_image&th=1
  23. Don't feel alone. I started using Insta-Cart again as my taxi guy was abroad. I shop at Ralphs (Kroger). There are 2 equi-distant from me - I know their products. The last 2 times it was a constant texting of "out of stock" on pretty ordinary stuff. Garlic?!? Guy shows up and I asked. He said nope - he even asked - they only had the 3 heads in a net bag. Huh! He didn't give me that option. And many shoppers tie the top of bag in a knot so you have to rip bag to extract your produce which has suffocated cuz it had recently been spritzed. Taxi driver just called me to say he is back. Phew.

    Dinner 2023

    looks like Simba from Lion King. Tasty? So the fish in the crescent rolls - sauced or? Sounds like fun.
