Pardon my ignorance but what are those fingers used for?

Re: garburators. They are not allowed in Ottawa so check with the city if you are thinking you want one. Ventilation to outside, a couple of separate circuits, and a window over the sink or prep area. Lots of cupboards. The condo we live in has a pantry, not a separate room pantry, but a pantry nonetheless. It had deep shelving which was a pain so we had drawers put in and converted the bottom cupboards to pull-outs. We also swapped one cupboard for pan drawers and added drawers to a couple of others. There was dead space between the cooktop and the cupboard beneath it and we had a wide drawer installed where we keep all our cooking utensils. The kitchen has a separate eating area with double doors opening to the dining area. There was enough space on either side of the doors in the kitchen to install two additional floor to ceiling cupboards, including a pull-out spice rack.

I just measured mine. They are also a food long and about 4 1/4" wide. Two of these pieces weighed 2.472 kg.

Yeah, I wondered where you were.

Who did you talk to?

You sure know how to mix things up!🙂

I hardly ever eat breakfast unless a cup of tea counts, so I used to love lunch. When I was working, I never ate the same thing twice in a row. I always made interesting lunches for both me and my husband. Mind you, we hardly ever had the same lunch so it entailed making two different ones. I never minded though, as we both looked forward to them.

Me too. Works great, doesn't it? I don't think a day goes by that I don't use it.

Excellent! Thank you.

I just had a look at the web site and think it will be very useful. I will try and add to it in the coming days. One thing I could not figure out was how to access the cooking chart. I saw it and then I moved around the site and couldb't get back to it.

Today with a lot of advice from @Ann_T I made a sourdough baguette. I took a picture of it but I don't know where it went. It certainly isn't on my tablet. We cut a small piece off the end and declared it tasty. The lamb shanks we were supposed to have for dinner will be dinner tomorrow. Instead we had this: The first picture is of it cut up so you can see the crumb. Not entirely happy with it as it should have been holier, I think. That said, it was really good. The mother is made with rye flour, the biga with that starter and bread flour. I do think it proofed a bit too much but the finger dent test worked so I dunno. Maybe if Ann sees this she can comment on the crumb. So, open faced smoked salmon sandwiches for supper. The baguette is all gone, fortunately there is more dough in the fridge.

I'd happily eat 'em.

It worked for me. Thank you.

Hello, Ella. Welcome to the forum. Lots of chocolate people here.

CNN quoted the Wall Street Journal as reporting that the deal was worth $2 billion dollars. Also, it seems 20% of American households own one.

What is your Facebook page or are you not allowed to post it here?

It has some interesting recipes that's for sure.

That's a great idea.

Last Thursday received a copy of Janet Zimmerman's new book, The Ultimate Instant Cookbook for Two. On Saturday I made the recipe Steel-Cut Oatmeal with Cranberries and Almonds from the book. It was so good I made a double batch on Sunday. I had tried making oatmeal in the IP before but it stuck to the bottom of the pan so I never tried it again. There was no sticking at all with this recipe. I look forward to making some of her other recipes. I really like the sidebar for each recipe. It lists the number of servings, time required to prep and finish, time needed to saute, time needed to pressure cook, time required to release and total time. Edited to add: In the interests of full disclosure, I should add that I received the book free as I tested some of the recipes. Of the recipes I tested, the oatmeal was not one of them.

I wonder what they will cost.

Tell us more about that salad.

In the video, the person wore sunglasses while cooking.

Mr. Clean foaming kitchen scrubber. I just did mine and it took all the gunk off. The door looks brand new.

What are Greek potatoes?

@Kim Shook That's my kind of chicken.
