Ah yes, a baby pike. I remember once a friend and I were on a fishing trip and he caught a pike. Those have a row of Y bones and was a real pain to clean. But, very tasty.

I don't thing I have ever heard of Hugh Fearnley Whittingstall. So, thank you for that. I plan on spending some time looking through his recipe collection. We don't eat breakfast here but do have a mid-morning snack. We sometimes have breakfast for lunch. Today it is pikelets with maple syrup and breakfasf sausage. The dough/butter is almost ready!

Martha says: "Did you ever wonder what the "10x" on the label means? It refers to the number of times the sugar is processed and milled—in this case, 10! Confectioners' sugar, on the other hand, is powdered sugar with starch added, to prevent it from caking as it sits.Nov 4, 2020"

You are far from alone. I shall really miss it too. I subscribed for years right up until they stopped publishing.

The pikelets were good. Reminded me of Newfoundland toutons.

I'm having my sister and her friend over for dinner on Saturday. We are making homemade cannelloni including the pasta for a main course. There will be freshly baked focaccia as well, but my dilemma is, what do I serve as a side dish? Is a salad the only alternative? It seems like the main course needs something else, but what?

Those look amazing. What fruit does she put in them?

I had a mental picture of @Shelbydoing one of those lady-like swoons in the grocery aisle.

Thank you for treating us to a blog on your trip. I thoroughly enjoyed the first installment and am looking forward to the next one.

Question: I have never used osmotolerant yeast. What makes it different from non-osmotolerant yeast? Is something added to it?

Funny you should mention that. I made Blueberry scones the other day. The recipe called for salted butter and I only ever use unsalted butter so I made a mental note to add some salt. When we had our first one, it tasted flat, that is when I realized I had forgotten the salt.

Love beef cheeks. Just ordered 6 of them.

I had it in the air fryer for 50 minutes @ 350F on roast. It was really good, but the poor wings were a bit, a lot actually, overdone. I think 45 minutes might have been enough.

Here's the chicken:

Those tarts look amazing. I love Portuguese tarts. I've copied the recipe so I can make them. I'm doing sweet potatoes right now and they will be followed by a whole chicken. Hope they turn out.

You certainly have a way with words!

Has anyone ever made granola in their air fryer?

Are there any air fryer accessories that would be handy to have?

I bought the Instant Vortex Plus 6 in 1. The Plus (I think) refers to the window in the drawer and the odor filters. I like naked wings too except for the LA Cage wings at Costco. If you are near a Costco Business Centre they sell fresh 6/10 wings which are larger than the grocery store wings.

Yes, this is the new one. I received it last Sunday. I had borrowed my sister's, she has a Corsair.

I've been having fun with the air fryer. I cooked a pork tenderloin the other day and have also made grilled cheese sandwiches a few times for lunch. I do those on broil, and they are fantastic. I'm keeping track of the temperature, times and settings I've used as well as other people's who have posted theirs.

Welcome back, Scoop! I've missed you.

Yup.
