@ElsieD interesting questions if the rice blends ' cook up ' to your satisfaction , by your usual method ( being slightly different ) I they should freeze in the same manner , by the same method you have used for single grain rice. reheating ? if the bag is sealed , shy not heat up in a pan of hot water ? you thermapen the water when its lose to service time , and that's the temp of your rice . add more heat if the water cools dow, Ive microwaved ' refrigerator rice ' successfully , but id open the bag and put the contents in a dish ( covered ) if you want to micro from Fz. so the bag doesnt explode

@blue_dolphin I completely agree . Aldi for me is might fine . very little , if any diffs from Helmans they also have ( for those still leaning about mayo ) they have their brand of Miracle Whip I tried one , way back , for the team .

bamix® of Switzerland Cordless Basic Stick Blender/Immersion Blender, Red – Multipurpose Blade, Beater, Whisk (eG-friendly Amazon.com link) inn Red !

@gfweb this is of course a shame . I do see that there may be health issues involved there should be a way to meet the health standards .

Maybe .... will try

They are Back ! and Oh so good . esp. the Maple

Consider a cordless. Yes , I knw they are more expensive . and probably have a little less power But that cord is a PITA .

this was recommended by @Smithy , some time ago : Kitchen Mama One-To-Go Electric Can Opener: One Touch, Auto Stop, Smooth Edge, Lid Lift, Safety, Automatic, Magnetic, Cordless, Battery Operated, Kitchen Appliance for Senior with Arthritis (Red) (eG-friendly Amazon.com link) needed it for canned tomato ( crushed ) large can works on small cans as well. a fine item , once you get one. for flat top cans . douvt it would work n Pop's

also , the PopTops leave a rim around the top. makes it a PITA to get the contents out w a spatula.

in my area , for years , the Fz Turks on sale were limit 2 , but with additional purchase of $ 25 dollars. then that additional purchase requirement was deleted. $ 0.49 is as low as its been for the Turks in years.

Really ? again ? more bags ? not only do these bags generate Buzz there seems to be pre-Buzz click bait too : https://dengarden.com/news/trader-joes-new-canvas-bag-rumor

@BeeZee Yes indeed. I hope to take what Ie learned from woking w the CkLegs , and the Turkey-roll-ups ive made before. and take my time doing it. the Fz one Ill palce in the refrigerator might take a week to defrost , then Im at it !

those Turks @ S&S ? $ 0.49 //lbs ? Im going with 4 , 14 - 15 //lbs. three are in the Freezer , for working w later and one ( to be purchased , in a couple of days ) in the refrigerator , to slowly defrost then work with . Why Not ?

they scan the same . and are intermingled

purchased from the same store at the same time , right next to each other in the display : seems odd . just saying

@zend very interesting how do you serve the raw garlic ?

@blue_dolphin quite entertaining. yet , with most web vids missing so many small points : note that rope of a tendon will have a certain chew but , there will be two of them , for more chew . just .... not so good . lots more like this

@blue_dolphin what ever butternut s. dish you choose consider , just prior to service sprinkle w some tosested pecans. TJ's has pecan ' bits ' toasted w no added salt. nice .

@blue_dolphin sorry IDS = InDoorSmoker https://forums.egullet.org/topic/167917-cooking-with-a-countertop-indoor-smoker/#comment-2412421

it's that time of year : Turkey , both Fz ( $ 0.49 / lb ) and fresh ( $ 0.98 / lb ) @ Stop&Shop. Oddly , more expensive ( $ 0.59 / lb , Fz ) at MarketBasket. I used to fill the freezer w 22 pounders , way back when ie 2 , but wrassleing w 22 lbs is a thing of the past. and back then : no IDS, nor iPot. I managed 2 14 + turks. savings of $ 17.50 / bird , w a cost of $ 7.10 /bird. fortunately , my new refrigerator runs quite cold , and is not full of #@$)%&@#&+& at the moment Ive found I can get the work done in stages , keeping the results quite cold in the refrig over a few days . Sooo : Turkey Breast 'logs' wrapped in bacon , IDS'd then SV . Dark meat thighs IDS // SV carcass IDS // oven roasted => iPot'd for stock. and im in no hurry to get started .

potato skin gets as crispy , if not more so , as peeled potatoes ; think how crispy , and delicious , the skin is on a baked potato that's baked properly , not steamed in foil , like lower-end restaurants do them.

that potato dish really does look delicious. Id consider making it w unpeeled russets i think the skin of potatoes , esp russets , is very tasty . and less work . peeling is a bit of a PITA

@KennethT I think you have found an effective , cheap , local method. string them up !

Bet the Boys loved that !
