Can you elaborate on this please? Are you saying the desk top version will operate on everything but the other won't? Are there two versions?

Nice!

Does anyone know of a good recipe app, as in a place to store one's recipes? I am currently using Evernote but find it expensive and would prefer to purchase an app. Evernote won't let me print a recipe which I find annoying. I am about to test recipekeeper as they allow you to try it out with 6 recipes. One thing about recipekeeper is that their client support is excellent. I sent them 2 different emails and got replies quickly. What, if anything do you use? I my case, I need something that will work on Samsung, I.e. Android.

I would freeze it.

My current favourite is roasted strawberry.

I don't do a lot of preserving but we actually got good peaches in my neck of the woods. So 10 quarts skinned, peeled, pitted and in the freezer. 13 quarts of strawberries were hulled and roasted for roasted ice cream. The strawberries were only done up because they were excellent this year. Those two items were bagged in the appropriate portions and frozen. We also have delicata and sweet dumpling squash to deal with when they mature. In addition, we share a small garden with my SIL who lives in the boonies so I gathered up some plum tomatoes, skinned, cored, ran them through a blender and cooked down to a sauce. The sauce was then run through a food mill and run through the blender to smooth it out. There are what seems like a ton of tomatoes yet to come.

I guess that is not what you want, but it is advertised and sold as an Asian Utility knife. Are you looking for an Asian brand?

I have this one, the 4 1/2" Wustoff Classic and am very happy with it.

I don't have a problem with it. I lay the cob down on the cutting board, start half way down, then turn the cob around and do the other half. The thing is sharp. I can't remember the instructions that came with it but i didn't like doing it the way they suggested. This works much better. Keeps the kernels under control too.

I have one very similar, mine is a Zyliss. I absolutely love it. Works like a charm.

@Tropicalsenior Those look really good. What are the red bits I see poking out?

I have no desire to eat anything other than what i eat now, so no change.

Good for him. Just goes to show that often it's the little things that matter.

I too had a mandoline I was afraid to use. I think it was a Bron. In any event, I donated it to the Shepherds of Good Hope's kitchen. They were glad to have it and I went out and bought an Oxo.

You i would always forgive.
