  1. Me too. I'm weirdly shy about getting food from a buffet etc. (I know I know). I'd love having a cup like this so I can just grab it and eat an array of things.
  2. I'm also a scraper. More so during and since the pandemic.
  3. So excited that Misfits had my most favorite grapes in the whole wide world a few weeks ago.

    Dinner 2024

    I've heard of it but I've never done it. I had never heard of using sparkling water. Googled and will be doing that next time I make quiche. Thank you! I love Saltines and butter! It's been like two months since I've posted on this thread. So much going on around here. I need a major stint of calmness...which I'm not going to get because our hunter friend is coming this week lol. Amidst all of the goings on I am learning my way around a new MacBook. My old brain is still back in the days of a desktop PC and Lotus sigh. I had to google how to get pictures uploaded here to EG.....yeah I need help lol. Been doing a ton of huge salads and different versions of stuffed squash. Mexican stuffed squash with our Nirvana corn Fig galette for dessert Italian stuffed squash with cheesy green beans. Salad and crustless quiche Smoked pork, okra and squash Wings Big salad with shrimp
  5. Sorry! I've been a bit MIA lately. @FauxPas did great. The only thing I would add is that halving the bigger tomatoes makes it easier to get them in the jar. The heating process before you actually put the tomatoes in the jars breaks them down quite a bit so I just cut the bigger ones. How long to keep them in the water bath depends on what altitude you're canning at. I'm in KS and I do mine for 45 mins. Oh one more thing. The old fashioned tomatoes like Big Boys ...Early Girls etc. should have enough acid to not have to worry about adding. It's the yellows San Marzano etc. that have less acid that you need to worry about.
  6. EG changed my life big time. For years I didn't join because I was intimidated--I mean, Bourdain posted here for heaven's sake! I wish now I had been braver and joined sooner. Sous vide would have never happened. The VacMaster would have never happened. The combo steam ovens would have never happened. Grinding grains to make breads would have never happened. I'm very sure there are more things that I'm not thinking of right now. @lemniscateI'm honored to have inspired you. You've made my month Thank you EG!
  7. Thank you!! I'm always jealous of all of the delicious food. I'll go ahead an book a flight and take those extra days you don't want LOL
  8. Nope. And sometimes I just leave the ring on. I'm lazy like that lol.
  9. I put my IP lid in the dishwasher.

    It's the bicolored kernels that look just like Nirvana....but I'm no expert lol. But it is the sweetest most delicious corn I've ever had.

    That looks exactly like Nirvana corn. If it is, it's the best IMO.

    Dejah, you are such an amazing chef!!! I'd love to hear more about the chicken balls--no rush, just when you have some free time I'm jealous of your peaches. I haven't had time....or rather taken the time to try to source some around here. I'm always so glad when I have some canned up but it just felt too overwhelming this year lol.
  14. Yes! That's Nirvana. I used to grow Silver Queen, and while it's really good, Nirvana is now my favorite and I only plant that. The kernels are bigger and juicer and sweeter. I'm sad the corn is done for this year. I suppose I could plant another round but.....I guess I'm not that sad lol.
