That is amazing!

Thanks for correcting me, you little enabler, you. I just assumed I was on the American site. And the answer is no. not yet.

Anova lists this at $450. I would love a chamber vacuum sealer but by the time I convert that into Canadian dollars and pay for shipping it gets pricey. Not that it is expensive for what it is, but it's too expensive for the amount of use I'd get out of it..

Are you starting one?

What is the difference between Can you tell me what the difference is between this book and 5-Ingredient Instant Pot Cookbook? Thanks!

What is the first picture of?

Add-ons? Are they taking cheese, bacon, that sort of thing or mustard and relish?

@Kim Shook What does the cheese do for the pineapple casserole? I like pineapple with ham, but I'm having trouble getting my head around the cheese part.

Does creton count?

You sure are good at it. I took a couple of cake decorating courses once. The one thing you were supposed to master was the Wilton Rose. I never did.

You produce works of art. I'm blown away whenever I see one of your creations. Where did you learn to do all this?

I see you inherited your mother's sense of humor.

I have never seen anything growing in my water tank. It sits on a utility cart in the eating area of the kitchen. It sits in that area along with a stand-up freezer, a microwave stand, a bar fridge and a couple of storage shelves. We don't eat in that space.

I use tap water. I don't do anything with the tank until it is near empty. Then I rinse it out really well,fill it up and put it back on the the unit.

Our current fridge is an LG standard depth door-in-door fridge. The fridge has a storage capacity of 16.7 cubic feet, the freezer 7.8 cubic feet. It is 35 3/4" W x 30 7/8 " D x 70 1/4" high. Those specs are from the manual. This is, by far, the best fridge we have had. Previous fridges were Maytag, Kitchen-Aid (particularly crappy) and GE. The icemaker is small so doesn't take up much space. If I need a lot of ice, I just empty the thing into a bag and repeat. I also really like the door-in-door feature. We keep condiments and other small items we use a lot in there. The back panel is sealed off from the rest of the fridge so there is no cool air loss as would happen when you open the whole door. Highly recommended.

@Dave R This is the ingredient list for one 13" loaf. I follow the same directions as @Cyberider I have a 9" loaf pan also but I seldom use it. 260 g Water 500 g All Purpose Flour or Bread Flour 100 g Sourdough Discard 40 g Butter 20 g Sugar 7 g Dried Yeast 10 g Salt

@blue_dolphin "Lemon ice cream with lemon curd swirl" Did you happen to post that recipe?

Your wife is a smart shopper. USA stands behind their stuff. I had a problem with my 13" pain de mie pan and I wrote to them. They asked for a picture, which I sent, and they sent me a new pan. They did not ask for the one I had to be returned. They are not cheap, but are worth it.

Love the look of those loaves. As for USA pans, once you own one, you'll never buy another brand.

You can buy jalapeño bacon?

No, when we bought ours the place where I bought it was able to tell us about it but they weren't available yet to buy. I could have liked one.

My cooktop is made by Thermador and I really like it. I also have the Control Freak which I use for some things. I like it too. The CF has wonderful temperature control whereas the cooktop only has 20 settings but it's fine for t g e cooking I do.

A loaf made with sourdough discard, the dough made in my bread machine and baked in a pain de mie.
