@Duvel Im not sure what the Speck did to deserve the Kale . Ill take the Pork belly thank you.

nost ovens have a window in the door. if you drop that steel on the glass , well ............... very difficult to replace. some time ago I used patio ' bricks ' in my oven for baking bread these are the oblong ones , and quite heavy two on the bottom rack , two on the baking rack , and one on each side of the baking rack that's 6 patio bricks. I realized there might be a problem removing them when cold of course so I got a 3/4 " piece of plywood , put that on the open oven door it was just a little bit smaller than the full door. covered the glass of course. never had a problem , the board was like insurance kept me nimble and focused

Ill say this as im wont to do : if y0ur get a Fz product that mighty fine congratulations there iw this steak Deal-ey OmahaSteaks possibly a fine company lets assume so that very very tender Filete Mignon very thick Fz is exceptionally bad when cooked not so my mate O.S but possibly the cut of meat .. but every careful on Fz meat(s) they might be very very close to fresh but some times not.

@Kim Shook beyond excellent kudos your way I don't even remember what " american breakfast ' sausage tastes like I my try to grab some at speed the next tome I do a blitz and , no ABS is not ' best ' its ABS I be delighted to get some British Bangers at the same time but that won't happen

@scamhi nice. thank you for the vadouvan spice ref. new to me. won't be able to sleep until I find some.

@KennethT Kudos on the way. eG members are an exception and far from average. it's truly a gift to be able to support ' heritage ' breeds. and breeders. not far from most of us there are families barely getting by. its also important to remember the Perdue's , Tyson's and ConAgra's are not humanitarians they are profit motivated , and have been involved in many large nefarious schemes .

@Margaret Pilgrim where did you get them ? how thick are they ? how do you plan to cook them ? I be so tempted to try one if they were available when i do my Supermarket Blitz. Ill take the one at the top please.

@Smithy I have that same 'Squeezer / Juicer " it was my parents and older than i am I of course have no idea where it is. Pleased you know where yours is and use it

@Ann_T very very nice. If it were possible to award more than one ' Toque ' I think that's at least a 2 , thinking about a 3

im not that familiar w the ( smaller now) EU . thank you for that correction the UT fellow was in Philadelphia , and indeed in Chinatown there.

I watched the ' Chinese Ingredient " UT its quite decent for someone starting out in the West I stopped when the narrator pointed out various https://www.google.com/search?q=shichou+chinese+wine&tbm=isch&chips=q:shichou+chinese+wine,online_chips:shaohsing&client=safari&hl=en&sa=X&ved=2ahUKEwjI5Y215YnuAhVpieAKHXr0D8wQ4lYoBXoECAEQHw&biw=1350&bih=1321 he should have pointed out in the west ' cooking wine ' in supermarkets has a close to lethal amount of salt , for ' tax purposes ' as he was in chinatown , he would have pointed out to go into a Chinese Liquor store and ask for their best version. Im not being picky here its a fundamental error on UTs part especially being in Chinatown that not to condemn the rest. their is decent stuff here for the Westerner. not much for Fuchsia.

its quite true any idiot w a camera can set up a YouTube channel. however , some idiots there are less idiotic than others. and we've been round and round on " Authentic "

My SS located 30 minutes away ( helpful for waistline maintenance ) will add ' extra ' . I ask for extra " sauce ' for my SmokeShack they have never charged me.

@Duvel nice ! your own brewey

@blue_dolphin excellent ! fits really really really good , best you've ever had pls consider toning down your report I won't be able to try it any time soon. thank you. " maybe really really good in ( fill this in 6 months ? ) thank you again

@heidih excellent work that's the place.

tangential to this thread : there was a Cooking/Producing food series I saw a while ago Im sure I have it on HardDrive. one episode was on growing herbs / lettuce etc in shipping containers the big ones. their is a surplus of these etc the growing is done hydroponically and the plants are on vertical risers if you will. several of these are in the Boston area , and one at Boston Latin or such as an educational platform for learning about food. wish I could give the ref. sorry.

I could not find a Shake Shack thread so here it is ! Im a big fan of the SmokeShake and I have not had one recently for the obvious reasons. the food Ive had at Ss in the past I feel is of very good quality. its not discount food , for sure. ( enter McD , BK , etc ) Ill need all the Vacc's I can get before I venture out into Restaurant World My view of the current situation , as it affects me. so SS is going to do chicken, https://www.cnn.com/2021/01/05/business/shake-shack-korean-fried-chicken/index.html I hope its successful. the Crispy spiced chicken sand. @ Wendy's Ive enjoyed pre C-19 your take ?

I still get Fine Cooking. its shrinking in size. A inovation , they have ads w Rx's from Fine Cooking ie FC devised them and tested them will be sad when it goes.

@Smithy Ive forgotten where you currently are. or is that a secret ? spent many summers in Arizona . Sabino Canyon. way way back when it was an empty area . sunsets were much like the ones you've posted. lots of cactus , much of it poached over the years. Happy New Year !

new from Penzey's https://www.penzeys.com There’s been so much so different about this past year and its holiday season. We are all so far from normal. We’ve all missed out on so much. Still, there is so much goodness in this time as well. In our life I can’t help but feel the desire for normal has led us to treasure the time spent in the kitchen far more than maybe ever before. In this time of uncertainty and forced distancing the “normal” found in our kitchen seems to be everything. Cooking connects us to so many moments throughout our lives of the kindness of people caring about us and to our own caring for others as well. It’s great when this caring can happen in person, but even when life separates us by miles or even decades that kindness is right there to touch every time we cook. Cooking matters. This year please do what you can to share the value of cooking with those in your life. To help, we’ve started the year with some great deals. Every sixth item free, now for everyone. We made this offer for store touchless pickup a couple times this holiday season to take pressure off the package shipping side of the business. I promised to repeat this for mail order customers as well at the first chance. So here you go. For everybody through Thursday, order six items over $1 and the lowest-priced of the six will be free. Order twelve and the two lowest will be free, etc. $1 Spices and Seasonings. Start the year with great savings. Regularly $3.29 Natural Cocoa, $4.29 Cajun Seasoning, $4.49 Regular Chili Powder, and $4.69 Sandwich Sprinkle right now are only $1. Each is awesome in its own right. And if you are anything like the average American you are going to eat a whole lot of sandwiches this year. If any fall short of truly tasty it’s great to have Sandwich Sprinkle within reach. Gift Box Deals! With so much more pressure this holiday season on those who work to deliver packages, we pushed the idea of this year extending the holidays through orthodox Christmas which is January 7th. If there’s someone you know of that you would still like to get an extra gift to, our offer of $4-$8 off all our gift boxes makes this a little easier. Our gifts open the door to the kindness of tasty times spent around the dinner table. Here’s one last chance to spread the spirit of the holidays. These are good gifts. Through Monday a free Hug Coin with any purchase. With such great hope in the new vaccines, now is the time to redouble our efforts to keep safe distancing. Still, that distance comes with real costs. The Hug Coin gives a hug you can touch and carry with you as a reminder that the distances between us right now are the proof of a caring world.

@MokaPot I have not.

@TdeV I do not. I have some electrical work to do in my kitchen first. then Im not too happy about the WiFi issues but that might be worked out then there is the Free Shipping issue fine for some , but no no no , not for you I got close to ordering " Feb shipment " but asked about when they charge my credit card. its been a week now , and they have not chosen to reply. I can understand a business mo0del where they use the next batch's cash , to roll over for their expenses Warren Buffet would be proud ! but Warren would be clear and up front about it. so no , not yet , maybe not for quite some time. Don't need it now , probably won't need it if I ever get to the point where I order but Im please to see so ma many eG'er's putting it through its paces and enjoying it.

I liked the Dark. a long time ago times do change.

@Duvel there are some very special people near you and around you as well as around many of us Im so pleased you appreciate them so deeply as we all might but , Holly *^&%&*$%% (&*%%%%(R(E)_R_ you are able to deliver very special plates of special food ! w a few Dortmunders I hope ! good for you and all the others here that have done the same ! Happy New Year to you all R and MC
