I made Chelsea buns the other day using brioche and froze them. I took a couple out this morning, let them thaw a few minutes and put then on Bake/Steam at 300F for 6 minutes. Perfect.

I put my roast in it's water bath the other night. When I got up in the morning it was floating like a raft in a pool. So I had to toss it.😕

@Smithy you have a non-electric processor that works?

Surely they didn't refund the meat?

Those are stunning.

Yeah, I thought I would try either delivery or pick-up. The dates were so far in advance I didn't bother.

Thanks. I'll look for them next time I'm out.

Good grief. Does it have gold dust sprinkled on it?

I have switched over to frozen vegetables as much as possible. I don't want to eat something that has been touched by a bunch of other people. I found frozen spinach as mentioned up thread and am happy about that. I also have two kinds of mixed veggies, peas and corn. Carrots I bought fresh but bagged. I need to buy a few things fresh such as herbs, on-screen peppers and green onions and also fruit but even with fruit i tend to buy the ones you have to peel. Has anyone else converted to buying mostly frozen veg? I should mention that I'm well aware that you can't always get what you want (to quote the Rolling Stones) but what you can't get one week is sometimes available the next. I did try frozen beets, they were terrible which is a shame because i love them.

I use bacon fat for frying eggs, potatoes, pancakes and searing meat plus some other stuff I can't remember just now. Oh yes, very lightly greased English muffins so I can "toast" them in the frying pan. Hamburger/hot dog buns get the same treatment. I do not use it on delicate items such as fish. I do not use supermarket bacon unless I'm desperate. I buy it from a local smokehouse and the bacon fat is fairly strong.

Looking at their web site, it appears they only ship orders with the US.😩

Welcome to forum!

I never strain mine and I keep it in a Mason jar in the fridge. Liquid gold.

Sort of reminds me of Krusteaz pumpkin spice bread mix. I'm down to my last 5 boxes.

Welcome to the forum.

@rotuts this is what it looks like. Note that it's a roast, not a steak.

I have something called a Boneless Blade Eye Roast. I have heard of chuck eye which you'd be hard pressed to find around here, but I've never before seen or heard of this cut. I want to cook it sous vide @134F. Do I cook it as I would a regular blade roast for 48 hours? It weighs 3 pounds. Thank you.

Did you strain it?

@TicTac Where ever did you find lobster for $9 a pound?

When we first got there, there's a very long line for the cash. I think there were only 2 of maybe 10 open along with the self-checkout. There was someone there who kept everyone in line which included someone butting in and sending her to the back of it. By the time we were finished, there was one person ahead of us. We were lucky because another long line was forming. A couple of things I had neglected to mention - there was lots of rice in all sizes, and types. One thing they did not have were clementines. I shopped for my neighbour who is self-isolating and she wanted clementines. Bought mandarines instead. They had everything else she wanted.

We went grocery shopping today (Loblaw's) the first time in a week. We got everything on our list except a tube of tomato paste. Our list included frozen vegetables (sorry, Anna), fresh veg., milk, sour cream. And a bunch of other stuff. No meat. The store seemed fully stocked, including toilet paper but no disinfectant of any sort. They had a security person standing outside, limiting the number of people who could be in there at one time. Carts were outside, lysol and paper towels were provided so you could clean the cart.

I'd eat any of them in a heartbeat.

@liuzhou Ouch! That looks painful. I hope it heals soon.

We were Dutch immigrants. Corn was thought to be only fit for animals, it was never eaten by people in the old country. Having moved here, we tried people corn and liked it. I remember my grandmother coming for a visit and being shocked! shocked I tell you! that we were eating corn. By the time she went home, she was eating it too.

How "CHEWY" or hard are those things?
