Now that I see your list I could swear I have seen it somewhere before along with a comment on shipping costs. For the life of me, I can't find it. Pencil Cob Grits sound interesting.

I feel your pain.

Did you or I eat in any of the places mentioned?

I just looked on their web site. What kind did you get?

https://anovaculinary.com/introducing-the-anova-precision-cooker-stand/ Just ordered one of these. Not sure if this is the right place for this.

Sorry, that was badly worded. I didn't look for them at Costco, just the mangos. I noticed the 50% off sticker which made me think Loblaws or Independent which I did look at and also Metro. I agree that homemade is probably better but I find it handy to have a premade something or other on hand when you just want something quick.

@Anna N Bought some of those mangos at Costco yesterday and just had one. They are very good. I also looked for the Libertè flan but could not find them. Are they worth looking for?

Yes to sift first or just chuck the lot in there?

I just checked my Vitamix and it would seem I have the dry grains top. It holds 32 ounces. Are you suggesting we sift à la @chromedome and then blitz the large pieces or throw it all in there?

@rotuts Interesting article. Thanks for the link.

Love lovage. I had it growing in my back yard, back in the day when I had a back yard.

I did them in the Breville Smart Oven, air dryer setting 400F on the Breville supplied air fryer rack. They took about 15 minutes. These potatoes were labeled "plank cut".

Thank you, but I can't take credit for them. They were frozen fries, Alexia brand. They do bake up nice and crispy.

They were started rib down, but basted and turned a couple of times. They came out of the oven rib down but it looks like I turned the ones on the right over before I took the picture. Given the exposed bones on the ones on the right, one could think the meat would fall off the bone but they were done the way we like them, with a slight tug to get them off the bone. It is indeed an awesome machine, and I have only used it a handful of times so far. I'm looking forward to baking some bread in it.

I really like them fried in butter with brown sugar added to the pan as they are frying.

A woman of great taste and superior intelligence.

Using @Okanagancook 's excellent template, today I cooked baby back ribs in the CSO. I wondered about the length of time, 2 hours posted for the cook and after some discussion with Okanagan cook, decided to put them in 2 hours before planned dinner time and monitor them. The question really was whether the time quoted was for side ribs or baby backs. We tend to eat around 7:30 so they went in at 5:30, bake steam 300. I was also making raspberry sorbet so asked john to bring in the ice cream machine and plug it in. A while later I went to get the ice cream bowl out of it and horrors! He had unplugged the CSO to plug in the ice cream machine. I have no idea how long it was off. I put it back on left it for a while then tested a piece of the meat (that would be the missing piece in the picture, sacrificed on the altar of quality control) and discovered it was done. The rest of the meal wasn't. The salad was quick enough to throw together, but the sweet potato fries needed to be baked. In they went to the BSO Air and I put the ribs on the CSO warm setting. My best guess is that they were on bake steam for an hour. Pictures below, after marinating, after the cook and plated. The recipe came from the NY Times cooking site and is called Chinese Style BBQ ribs. The ribs were delicious, nice and moist and tender. Should have gotten a CSO long ago.

Pork back ribs, coleslaw type salad, sweet potato fries.

Stuffed with cheese whiz.

I too am a member of the non GBP club. Love all the rest.

Those look amazing. Were there 8 mangos in the box? (Going to costco tomorrow.) Do you store them in the fridge?

A little late to be asking but I'm just getting caught up. What are those onion petals? I don't think I've ever seen them.

@Shelby Any chance you could ship a couple of those tomatoes my way?

I don't know if this is a regular deal or a Prime deal but I just spent a whopping 99 cents for a three month membership to Kindle Unlimited. After that it costs 9.99 per month but I plan to cancel when the three months are up.
