He was great, wasn't he?

You and Larry Walker.🙂

I use Lanctantia, and I only use unsalted butter. I am not unlike @chromedome in making sure my freezer is stocked with butter. My panic level is about 6 pounds but that is because Lanctantia doesn't go on sale very often. I don't like paying $6 to $7 dollars for a pound of butter so I generally stock up when it goes on sale for $2.99. But, my stash was running low recently and I stocked up with some Selection brand butter, sold by Metro. I haven't used it yet but I will pull out a pound to see how it compares and will post my reaction. I have never purchased Walmart's butter so can't comment on that.

Hi @Snoopy15 I've been to Winnipeg a few times but I was always in the city itself. Welcome to eGullet!

Greetings to a fellow Canadian and welcome to eGullet.

I haven't noticed any difference in the taste of my butter. Also, it spreads as it always did and I have no trouble melting it.

Wow!😬

@Kerry Beal Thank you for posting this. While I didn't know her well, what I did know of her i liked very much. I tried finding her obituary when we first heard that she had passed away but I couldn't find one. I did have her name and address but that didn't help in my search for it. Rest in peace, Suzi. We miss you.

Welcome to the forum!

Me too. And welcome to the forum.

If you can catch it before the final rise, you should be able to take it out, shape it, replace it and let the machine carry on. I have found that helps a bit.

I gotta ask - when do you sleep?

I'm wondering why you would want to put anything under your pots when cooking unless it's to collect splatter.

I looked up snitzbrot and thought, gee that looks kinda good. And then I saw that figs was an ingredient. Stopped me cold, it did. I hate figs.

My experience is the same. I once had a glass top electric range and hated it. Stuff baked on and was hard to clean. My induction top is a snap to clean. Just soap and water. I the six years I have had it, I have never needed to "scrape" anything. If I do get a spot that is a bit stubborn, Bar Keepers Friend takes care of it.

I'd happily eat it. Looks delicious.

Where are you located? That might have some bearing on any recommendation.

What is the shape of the dough before the machine starts to bake it?

@FauxPas is an excellent enabler!

I wanted the potato book but it was $9.99 on amazon.ca. checked again just now and it's still $9.99. No potato book for me.

@Smithy Loved the virtual tour. Who knew there was such a thing as a banana slicer?

Beautiful!

I don't remember seeing this buffet before. I don't know whether I simply overlooked it or they're relaxing their restrictions a bit. They're still requiring masks, and the customers seem good about abiding by it. @Smithy interesting. The clientele may be wearing masks, but it's still be concerned about the handling of the serving utensils. Maybe I'm just paranoid. Thanks for pictures. I find it interesting to see things being sold that are different from what we see.
