Google Lens is worth a try while waiting for a human translator.
Here's your 3rd pic:
Interesting. Definitely not impressed with the Google lens translation.

Good morning. I'm busy this morning, but free in the afternoon. So I can look at later. 5 to 6 hours from now.
They are Sichuan style products.
Thank you very much! I look forward to learning more about these products.

I was at a trade show and received the pictured items. I suspect that the jar contains chili crisp (as we call it in the US) but I'm not sure what either item is or how I should use them. Please help. @liuzhou

Tried a new popcorn snack today, peanut butter coated caramel popcorn. Very tasty!

strawberry tart
Pastry base, almond frangipane, vanilla pastry cream, strawberries, and whipped cream.
Definitely out of practice with plating / presentation.

AUI has a promo on Des Alpes 63% & 73% so I looked into it - 6 kg boxes, made in Switzerland, with the exact same piece design as Felchlin, is this Felchlin's secondary brand and I'm just now figuring it out? 😅
Perhaps ask your rep for some samples…. Let us know if the taste is similar to the Felchlin you usually use.

@curls walked me through nougat at the eGullet Workshop - thanks again! Got around to making some on my own this week. Happy with how it turned out. Inclusions are dried cranberries, roasted pistachios, almonds and hazelnuts.
Beautiful nougat! Delicious sounding combination of inclusions! Thrilled to start you on your nougat journey. Start thinking about fun stuff to try at next year’s workshop. 😉

Have you tried Maria cookies? They might have the taste & texture you are looking for.

Ditto on the pan set.
I have only used the griddle. It is great when cooking for 1-2 people. I like it when I want to cook something that won't fit well in an 8" skillet but is too small to bring out and clean my two burner cast iron griddle/grill pan. Great for a small batch of pancakes, steak & eggs, etc..
Would also work very well in a hotel.

I think it's just an awkward illustration.
I was finally considering jumping on the trend, but now that TJ and Costco have it, maybe it's too late. 🤷♀️
Just saw this video… didn’t know that so many companies were making Dubai chocolate items! May still be time to add your own version to the mix.

OMG! This is sooo good! It's something that butterfinger wishes it could be. Was this demo'ed in Las Vegas is 2017/2018? I love it! Sadly, I only got one piece
Thank you for asking about that piece. I only picked up one piece and wondered who made it, very tasty. Thought it might have been a sugar lamination piece... we've had a few attempts at this at various workshops. I think we got a recipe from Mark Heim and one from Rebecca Millican. Would be great to know which recipe was used - wish I had seen it being made.

@Shelby delicious meals & gorgeous peonies! So glad that this year’s visit from your Mom included air conditioning and better weather. I find that the house is so much quieter the day after company leaves — I also don’t enjoy that first super quiet no guests breakfast. Probably a sign of a great visit… otherwise I’d be thrilled that the visit is over. 😄

Picked fresh strawberries from a local farm. Enjoyed strawberry shortcake before dinner.
Beautiful strawberries! Which farm did you get them from?

Picked up a 6 tray Nesco food dehydrator at the local Habitat ReStore for $10 (it even came with the manual). Plugged it in and it appears to work!
Also found this basket for $2 possibly silver plated.

The baking employed a novel temperature spectrum.
It looks good despite your oven issues. How was the interior? How do you like it?

The accessory kits are listed as being available when bundled with the A4, but when I try to order the accessory trays separately they're still listed as Sold Out.
This is great news! Hoping this means that it will soon be possible to order the accessories!

How does the Corningware kettle work? My mother used a Corningware baking dish (similar, if not the same as, the one you just got) and it was oven-safe, obviously. But a kettle requires direct heat - like over a gas flame, or electric burner which are much hotter than oven temp air. Or is the kettle more of a tea pot that is meant to have boiling water poured into it?
The USA made corningware can be used over direct heat. I have a skillet and a pot that I use on my gas stove.

@liuzhou thank you very much! Your explanation and website link about Bobo Chicken (钵钵鸡) are very helpful. As for the Four Sisters jar of tasty and edible ingredients, I’ll just sample that and decide how I want to use it.
