I've been doing the same thing. Misfits has had Hatch chiles for several weeks now. I can't seem to stop buying and freezing them lol.

I miss Anna, too. I think of her so often.

Beautiful!

Yes and with each chef it tastes different

Yeah, if I squint right I see the Welcome Duvel and Family banner 😁

I don't get out much

Ronnie had to use the bathroom during a shopping trip at Sam's yesterday which left me alone for several delicious moments in the snacky area. I snagged this: SO GOOD. I doubt I'll ever run across it again.

Be careful, Ronnie might take you up on that 😆

I sub cauliflower for the potatoes--it's actually really good.

@Duvel What a great meal! I want it all. Your wife's pasta dish looks delicious and I want to poke my fork in that deep fried egg. @weinooNice looking tomatoes. Turkey wraps with shishitos, tomatoes and fake potato salad One of Ronnie's daughters made tamales for the first time and brought some over for us to try. So, I made venison taco salads along with the tamales. The tamales were so good. Seasoned perfectly. I was impressed. Fried wings and chicken strips (I have started frying up some strips to use a few days later for big salad night) with salad and squash casserole--I used crushed up pork rinds in place of crackers for the topping. Zucchini pizza boats and SALAD lol Big salad night--I used leftover steak and the chicken strips Last night we splurged again and had BLT's. Heavenly.

Thank you so much @FauxPas but I will live vicariously through you guys for now. I can't wait to hear all about them!

I can't sleep. I can't eat. No more CSO's. I'm just spinning out of control. lol. kinda.

OMG I missed this until now. I love Peeps. And wine. This must be a sign.

I'm jealous of all of you and your berries! We've gotten SO much rain this summer. Our property has been in the monsoon sweet spot. From April until now we've gotten roughly 30" of rain. That's a lot for us. Rain gauge from July 24th am to July 25th am--almost 6 inches. \\ The lake in the background is the garden. Getting enough tomatoes to eat every day plus a ton of cherry tomatoes that I'm drying and keeping in olive oil. Dunno about any canning this year....the plants are stunted and even the green tomatoes are splitting. Plus side is we've barely had to run the irrigation which saves a ton on fuel. The river flooded a bit a few weeks ago but I don't think it did much damage to the corn. We'll see how August and September go. It's hot as hell --humidity is through the roof as you can imagine. We are under heat warnings most every day lately. Cucumbers are doing well. Peppers are super stunted. Maybe by December I'll get some jalapeños 🙄. Harvested all of the onions. Several had rotted due to the rain but I still have a nice stash in the fridge outside. Tons of watermelons on but I'll be shocked if they have any flavor. Too much rain makes them...well, too watery. Green beans are just now coming on. Anyway, just a little garden update from over here.

NOOOOOOO!!!!! I'm so sorry!!!!! Very very stupid question and I'm sure it's not the case but your reset button on the outlet doesn't need to be reset does it? I assume you tried that or a different plug in. And, I'll add, that when mine does that screeching sound I have banged the hell out of the top of it and then restarted --sometimes that helped. Sometimes it didn't but I got out some aggression.

Thank you!!! I want another one tonight so bad. It doesn't help that I have most of the loaf of bread left that I made lol. It's easy--I just do my regular potato salad recipe only sub cauliflower. If I have a head of cauliflower I break it up into bite size pieces--mostly the tops but some of the softer looking stems and then I throw it in the IP. 1 cup of water, keep the cauliflower out of the water using what ever you use in the IP. 0 mins on high. If I have a microwavable bag, I poke holes in the bag, micro for 3 mins and then let it sit for a while. You want the cauliflower tender--but not mushy. I don't measure. Hellman's mayo --or what you like. Not Miracle whip imo makes it too sweet Mustard Diced onion, pickles and celery 2 chopped up hard boiled eggs Fresh dill (I like to add a lot) Secret ingredient is some dry Ranch dressing mix Salt/pepper to taste Mix that all up, add the cauliflower. Good stuff

Right??!! A chatgpt reply would have at least been a bit warmer lol.

Response from Cuisinart regarding the CSO 500C --my email to them is first. ---------------------------- Hello! A friend of mine was searching today to buy a new CSO 300N1 and it was impossible to find one. I ran across Costco's website in Canada that had a CSO 500C. I searched hard and can't find it for sale here in the US. Will it ever be available here? Thanks in advance for your time. ------------------------------- Hello, Thank you for contacting us. Unfortunately the unit you are inquiring about is no longer being produced Canadian units are not for sale within the US and we do not have information if they will be available in the future We apologize for the inconvenience and we thank you for your understanding Thank you, Cuisinart Consumer Service ------------------- Bummer

You could be very right. I'm just excited that after all these years, I'm not alone in my rice cooking method LOL.

We went to Sam's the other day. They had shrimp and some really good pork chops and steaks on sale so we loaded up. Had to make fried shrimp for dinner Pork chops, Alfredo-ish zoodles and the always present cucumbers and tomatoes from the garden. The tomatoes are SO good. Did a major splurge. Made bread--HAVE to have BLT's with real bread. Along with fries. Homemade strawberry sauce and strawberry ice cream for dessert. Big salad night to atone for BLT night. I had leftover bacon so I stuffed some mushrooms too. Really good lamb chops last night. Cauliflower "potato" salad again to go with. That's a keeper recipe. Also collards from the garden.

I don't remember how old I was--probably around 12??? Anyway I made white rice after school one day for a snack. I did it just like I'd do pasta--I boiled unmeasured water and dumped rice it. It worked fine. I later learned that's the wrong way to do it. I've always wondered why when it worked just fine lol.

Loved every minute of this thank you

@ElsieD We're all quite excited about your purchase 😁

Can't wait!!!!

Also, blame @KennethT more.
