Thank you! Can you also tell me how to shrink the pictures? Edited to add: I figured it out, or rather, John did.

I started to do this and realized that I didn't know how to insert comments in between the pictures. And then i forgot about it. When John gets home he'll show me how to do it and I'll post the pictures. Thanks for reminding me.

I like the mug.

Thank you, @RWood. I have printed the recipe. Is it white or golden corn syrup that you use?

We have the same ice cream maker! My only quibble with it is that it's a pain getting the ice cream out of it before it starts to melt. I love strawberry ice cream. Our berries aren't out yet but I'm going to find the serious Eats recipe and make it when the berries are out. Edited to add: they have several recipes on their site. Which one did you use?

I'm looking forward to this!

Mine is a Kindle and I find it easy to navigate.

@Shel_B I have a book called The Ultimate Rice Cooker Cookbook by Beth Hensperger. She has some recipes for grits in there and says they can be cooked on the regular or porridge cycle. She also has recipes for grains - yesterday I cooked farro in my rice cooker to make a farro, corn and tomato salad.

Thanks, @Shel_B. One of the stores that carries it is one I regularly shop at. It's on my grocery list. Hot hot is it? I realize that is a somewhat objective question, but I thought i'd ask anyway.

What fine daughters you have!

Want some company? In a grocery store, especially one like that, I'd make a great sidekick!

I was at a grocery today and checked the price of kefir. In was $6.99 a litre. By way of comparison, a bag of milk which contains 3 litres is $6.09.

What a place Jungle Jim's is! Thank goodness I'm not remotely near there. I can see me coming out of there with at least three grocery carts full of goodies. That butter section looks interesting. Where were the butters imported from?

Gross.

This may be a dumb question but how do you dehydrate the grains?

I don't often buy ready-to-eat meals but whenever I'm in a grocery store I'll keep an eye out. Which chain grocery stores do you have access to? Do you have a Farm Boy there? It's the one we mainly shop at because it's a 5 minute walk but we go to others as well.

I'll post pictures either today or tomorrow. I just went through the video and took some notes as there are a few things included that are not listed on the menu and I'll add them to the description of the plates. I'm looking forward to this meal.

It is John's birthday today and to celebrate, we are trying our a new-to-us offering from a restaurant we like. The chef started a pickup/delivery service of 7+ course meals when Covid struck. Included in this dinner is a cocktail and a bottle of wine. It comes with a video wherein he describes what you need to do to finish preparing each course. All food is pre-cooked so all that is required are re-heating and plating. I've watched the video and what I need to do is simple and uncomplicated. The menu is as follows:

Very weird. The roll, not you!

Looks good......sounds spicy.

Unfortunately, not available in Canada for that price.

That's the plus side. Admittedly, a big plus.

Given that the current Anova Steam Oven still has bugs (I've had two replacements under warranty - so far) and the internet is rife with complaints about this oven, I wouldn't touch the new "Pro' version with a 10 foot pole.
