@Kerry Beal You've got to be the most resourceful person I have ever had the pleasure of meeting. Good job!

Beautiful, @Haley

I've never had one of their cookies. Are they really that special? If they are, I'll have to make some.

Gorgeous!

Wow. Thanks @Kim Shook for the warning.

Well, I am humbled. Flushed with success, I made up another batch of batter, let it sit for a couple of days and baked up my little batch of six. The only thing that was different was I had made a mistake and set the initial 15 minute bake 25 degrees lower than what had worked so well the last batch. They rose, but never fell. As you can see, the bottoms are slanted and the insides had big holes in them. We ate them anyway and they were good, but "wetter" on the inside, if you know what I mean. Does anyone know what I might have done wrong? Did I whisk the batter too long? Did the difference in temperature make that much of a difference? They were baked for a total of 75 minutes. I still have batter left. @teonzo Don't send me your address just yet.

@Isabelle Prescott I live in Canada so I don't know where you can buy it in the States. It is still available on Amazon.ca and as @JoNorvelleWalker pointed out, it was available on Amazon.com when I posted the link. If you go through the links that @Kim Shook referred to, that might be of some help to you. I really, really like mine and am one of those people who has a back-up.

Ooops!

Okay. I've just made up a new batch of batter.

Well, I think I finally nailed it.

I have a vague recollection of having it somewhere but a long time ago. What I do remember is that I really liked it. A church picnic maybe? My mom never made it so it had to be something like that. Do you just wing it or do you have an actual recipe?

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.😩
