my friend baked these , down @ WoodsHole (WHPS)

I was finally able to watch the videos ' watch on YTube ' duh loved the watermelon video. thanks for sharing them.

@KennethT thank you for taking the time to provide so much detail. that last meal was spectacular.

@Tropicalsenior '' need the oven to store my skillets '' interesting. Ive used my dishwasher , thre old one , and eventuakky the new one ton store my Pyrex ( original ) collection along w various lids. I plan to use the new one to wash all the plates and things twice a year or so.

Id like to chime in , and , of course , with no personal experience nor reliable information : the iPot does very poorly w saute . its not designed for that and have very uneven heat on the bottom when used for that purpose. Ive had some remodeling folks in my house for a bit. One asked about the ' more than one ' iPot I have , and said they got rid of theirs as it ' burnt out ' . I though about this , and asked it they used the saute Fx much and they did. this confirmed for me the iPot ' boils water . and then creates pressure ' this is does very well . Id say , if this unit is well designed for saute , at those temps then its a consideration . My several cents. the iPot is not designed for saute. it might do it but it does it very badly , and , based on recent info might burn itself out. looking forward to more eG user input.

It seems the egg shortage is in the North East. 'Omega 3 ' eggs are an interesting marketing angle. Id look into what exactly the ' omega 3 ' brand is selling you. once eggs become plentiful again , and you can compair the price of O3 and non O3 . the chickens get a little flax seed , for the O3 claim. and that O3 is only the first precursor of a 3 part reaction to get the O3 you may be interested in.

there seems to be an egg shortage, mentioned in various threads. Bird Flu is a suggestions. Large corporations such as McD , possibly BurgerK , etc generally have their own exclusive egg vendors . if youve visited any FF places . are eggs scarce there ? EggMcM etc ? Google suggests there was an egg shortage in June/July 2024 shortening breakfast menu's at McD thqt was some time ago , while no egg shortage then @ markets near me.

no eggs @ Market Basket this AM no eggs mentioned on other threads.

no eggs to recall here. no eggs @ Market Basket

Ive realized the above does not really read well moved to your desk-top and magnified. this version is a little better : if you go to any of these places , please feel free to take a few pics , and comment on your Eatings .

this caught my eye. Unfortunately , wont be able to sample any Others might ? move to your desk top , and enlarge.

@ElsieD I think both those wold work and be quite tasty just differently tasty .

I have a new oven , same as the old one , but new. decided to make some Tj's cornbread , from their mix. Ive done this many times in the distant past , and like the result. this is a CB mix that ends up on the sweet side of the CB spectrum, but not too sweet. for me , 1 ) its right in front of me @ TJ's and 2 ) I can work with it . the Rx asks for you to add 1 egg , 3/4 C milk and 1/2 C oil . lightly mix , bake 8 " x 8 " 30 - 35 M sorry for the blur. I added a Tb , or so of Tj's green dried chili. I decided to use parchment paper rather than butter etc the 8 x 8 . I have PP. PP in a baking dish takes a little patience , but not that much 35 Min. removed from the pyrex after a few minutes , still warm Pyrex dish . simple hot water hand washing : Done. easy peasey. cut warm on the PP the bottom result , cooking this way : outstanding this was . next time maybe 1/2 the oil , some day 2 eggs maybe more green chili flakes , and some Benton's bacon tiny ' lardons ' def : Bentons ' tine lardons ' slice the Benton's bacon into 1/8 " lardons . fry a bit, or maybe not. next trip to Market Basket , Ill look for a Bob's RedMill mix , thats not sweet. easy to work with , fine starting points for all sorts of MixIns

@ElsieD I don't recall if ( white ) Lillet is sweet. Id use its sweetness as a guide . and the sweetness of any sub. have any dry sherry ?

can not imagine why anyone would by Boars Head products ever again.

@Ann_T I love meatloaf. my go to involves ground turkey what is your ML Rx ? did you coat that ML w any thing ? looks delicious.

@ElsieD Yes. its a Japanese thing-ey for making pressed rice packages . wrapped w dried sea weed Popularized here by the great @Anna N sort of a rice package sandwich.

My mother cooked every day . Meals were good , but not complicated. She worked , and ran a nursery school. the books I remember , and still have , Fannie Farmer , edition circa just before WWII. and my favorite growing up : Betty Crocker , in a loose leaf binder . the loose leaf binder fascinated me , as my father was a teacher , and had lots of binders for his various lectures. I still have both of them. Betty had pictures , and a style that was a bit outline-ish.

@KennethT looking forward to your trip. nice time for it , w snow on the ground here. thank you for taking the time to share. Food looks delicious.

if you can please measure the top surface of the A.O. mine might be released from it Box fairly soon , and Id like to place a Cuisinart Steam Oven on top. if the top of the AO get hot , Ill figure out some sort of buffer between them the CSO feet are approximately 15" x 10" thank y0ou.

its odd people prefer brown eggs w the price difference being what it is.

@Tropicalsenior brown eggs in my area are more expensive than white. they taste the same. It my understanding that the brown egs are more expensive as they come from a breed that takes longer to produce an egg. time === money why people , in this area , would pay more for those Brown's is , Sociology ?

@Tropicalsenior the doz. MB white large are 681 gms.

I shop at Market Basket , a family business in the North East same stuff as Stop&Shop , and RocheBro , but lower prices due to their business model : all eggs in MA are now cage free. I doubt that's the same as pasture-raised.
