    Lunch 2021

    @Franci nice. very nice , as usual would you please consider sharing Your Rx ? I did google it and Ik like to try this in ab * " pan in the CSO thank you
  2. I don't wish to be contrarian .. I have two MC2's : a small and medium saucier. Its possible the MC version was superior in possible ways however , these came out , and were very new its possible Mc didn't make a saucier but this line , being new featured the saucier at a massive discount to generate interest in the new line. i got the small saucier for $ 19.95 , and there was an additional 20 % off. I think it was otherwise over $100 ++. later , the medium was on sale , 29.95 , and yes 20 % more off not BB&B as I had a slew of 3 mm copper from FR the sale got me interested. Im pleased they had the sale , or Id never have had a saucier. mine are pretty old, and doing fine. if Im not using my Fond-Less set, Im using these two does anyone know if MC series had a saucier ?
  3. @TicTac you paid in CAD's ? always nice ! who is your banker or Exchange Artiste ? 100 CAD in my book is $ 77.98 ( USD ) do they have a web page ? DarkerNet is OK.
  4. however , there is something un-appetizing w a Chicken Wire Garden "" Gulag or Stalag like "" there is plastic mesh netting , its a little more attractive I think it comes in green , I uses to use black excellent keeper-outer for birds. Iguanas ? might chew right through it.

    P.S.: here is the Sale Ham from last week : it was tasty , and not very salty. no massive gusher of water came out of the bag when opened and today I tried these ; TJ's no longer has generic Triscuits , so Ill try these Ill let this cheese ripen in the cubed , and see hoe it compares to TJ's https://www.fooducate.com/product/Trader-Joe-s-Cambozola-Blue-Cheese-Triple-Cream-Soft-Ripened/C3701D60-9DC2-11E2-9B11-1231381A4CEA cheese is much better @ TJ's

    Aldi

    went to Aldi this AM same fellow was ahead of me , already in the store just like last week. i was interested in thew 20 lbs bird seed. got one bag its similar to the Pennington's seed via Walmart, but a savings of $ 6 or even a little more. seems to have less sunfouwr seeds , not by much and more cracked corn. squirrels might be upset. as far as I can tell , very few birds get to the SFS ahead of the S's I got some sourdough bread for ham sandwiches , they only had one store brand. I can tell its going to be lacking . EM's and Eggs are a significant savings over Tj's
  7. @Franci Id go back to your neighbors ask them what they have grown and successfully harvested. Iguana's might be tasty lightly roasted , w a bit of smoke.
  8. I have not had snails ' in the manner of the French ' for some time. I did see some videos where you collected your ordinary Garden Snail then put them in a very large plastic container so they could ' purge ' them selves then , on to the cooking. all I can remember when I had them some time ago in FR and I do not suggest FR methods are THeBest but they are a style that is mighty tasty for me the snails came in a way cool special dish w a way cook SnailHolder so that was a fine Set-Up ! but it was all about the Sauce and the fresh FR Bread to mop that sauce up. the sails , themselves , just went along for the ride, as far as I can remember
  9. electric knife to the rescue ?
  10. if you were to soak these hams w several changes of water I think my Uncle used a large beer cooler then SV them ? or cut out hunks , soak w several changes of water the SV ? put some ice cubes in the bag --- easer to seal then SV ? freeze. thaw out in the refrigerator , then brown in the CSO ?

    Aldi

    thank you Aldi Fans for your input. i noticed @ Aldi they have some refrigerated Salmon. I did not look too closely at it ut it looked very similar to refrigerated Salmon @ TJ's from Norway. Ive tried it in the past @ TJ's and as long as you look in to the ' back ' of the selection its a day or so fresher @ TJ's I liked it , given Im looking for a nice piece very close to the head. note salmon fat. I appreciate the comments on Fish @ Aldi what this Norwegean fish an item you tried ? Steelhead etc , Ill have to look for that. thank your for your input. cheers
  13. My fond-Less set is fine I wonder if non-stick simply can't handle temps over 350 or so and then degrades faster @ 450 I take all reviews in , w a bit of skepticism
  14. all the different units i looked into both Bev and Cuisi seem to have complains on how log the non-stick surface lasts.
  15. its also cheaper @ Amazon ; https://www.amazon.com/Breville-BGR820XL-Smart-Grill/dp/B003SIN0BC/ref=sr_1_3?dchild=1&keywords=Breville+Smart+Grill+%26+Griddle&qid=1617549559&sr=8-3 but several reviewer's had significant issues w the non-stick surface after a year.

    Aldi

    Aldi is really a fine complement to TJ's TJ['s has quite a few things I like that Aldi does not and Aldi has some very good sales. I got some of the Aldi large Eggs. they were $ 1.79 Id been getting extra large brown eggs , which were $ 3.25 the Aldi large eggs were exactly the same size as the extra large ( by weight ) I noticed they seemed larger than ' regular ' large eggs go figure.
  17. I wonder why the Breville only has one ' ribbed ' platr thus you have to buy a second one id you want grill marks ob both sides of your item : https://www.amazon.com/Breville-BGR820RP-Smart-Grill-Ribbed/dp/B003SIFCMC/ref=pd_bxgy_img_2/131-5570512-5638352?_encoding=UTF8&pd_rd_i=B003SIFCMC&pd_rd_r=029f9988-0b61-40f3-a6e2-7c282c4c1f34&pd_rd_w=YvinK&pd_rd_wg=ULr5J&pf_rd_p=f325d01c-4658-4593-be83-3e12ca663f0e&pf_rd_r=JQ4ZYP9CP5WR0Y6DJ88F&psc=1&refRID=JQ4ZYP9CP5WR0Y6DJ88F maybe not important ? it is very cool looking where did you order from ? Amazon has them stock did you find a better price ?
  18. what do you think the final ' proof ' is ? that might be the harshness if its too high. although you really are hoping for someting ' home made ' a drop or two of Grande Marnier might be helpful understanding it Orange based.

    Aldi

    I now examine the Aldi weekly circular with renewed interest ! as we all know , Ad's are a series of lies. misdirection , etc. so : Aldi Savers ( in Red ! ) ' savings on savings on savings ' however , some Aldi savers indicate what the price ' was ' and what it is now. [ ed: pls excuse . it's a slow day . sunny , warm in the back room , but cold outside ] in this week's circular ( in black for the price 0 there are items from Germany : ' Deutsche Kuche ' brand apologies to Duvel , can't remember the APPL key sequence for an Umlat I take it that the german items were a one time , large purchase at a value point , and when gone , gone. fine TJ's in California did this from time to time , etc they do offer this week , in black type a 20 lbs bird seed bag : " Heart to Tall Wild Bird Seed " : $ 6.99 I used to get 40 lbs bags at Walmart , and now get them from TheWall on line , as Walmart is not a place I might go to any time soon the price difference is : $ 6.00. nice. but nicer for me , I can deal w 20 lbs bags. I'll get one on Tues ( senior hours ) and see if there are significant difference from the Penningtons Walmart version Im guessing the sunflower seeds are the most expensive in the bag anyone get these bags ? of course , in my area the Squirrels eat most of the SSS before the cardinals arreive so ...................
  20. there is also a very good chance the L upper square was rotated 180 degrees. is there a second prize ?
  21. @Kim Shook this looks like a puzzle to me. Fortunately , I solved it. And I claim to be the first : it's the top R square that has been rotated 90 degrees clockwise. 1/4 turn. I hope there is a prize.

    Breakfast 2021

    Aldi // TJ's breakfast : sorry no mise Aldi Brioche HD buns Aldi cut in 1/2 Bavarian Bratwursts sliced 1/2 ie One Brat = two items above why ? less NaCl // mouth gobble red onions, minced TJ's dijon mustard + Tj's sweet chili sauce , mixed together [ed.: this is a simpler way to make your own ' Honey Mustard ' I do have real honey this is simpler. TJ's Pepper Jelly works well here too ] Micro the split sausage for , 45 sec ? torch for Mallirad good-ness micro the buns , 10 sec or so , for ' steam-buns ' then assemble delicious it was however , I wonder if plain buns might be better ? we will see. the ' Sweet-spicy-Dijon makes this '' dish ""
  23. McD is back to sending me in the mail 2 for 1 offers. https://www.mcdonalds.com/us/en-us.html note that now the pics at least imply melted cheese in 10 to 20 years , they might manage to melt the cheese actually @ McD anyway Vaxx's # 2 is coming up very soon and I might do a Drive Thr0iugh for a pair oc Chicken Sand's maybe Wendy's might send me some coupons as in the era Before their crispy spicy CkSand ( w extra tomato and pickles ) was quite nice 2 for 1 of course.
  24. @kayb I am enjoying the pics of your garden i enjoyed gardening years ago and discovered early on Black Plastic and Reemay , woven fiber I hope you are aware of it : https://cedarcirclefarm.org/tips/entry/geotextiles and example from Google search ite extended my growing at leasts a month in each direction here in NewEnglansd. and you can use it over and over again it it light , and I used to lay it over the growing plants and it did not bother them. rain passes right through I forgot what my supplier was , but its not expensive if you get it from a very large garden supplier. and can be used for years.
  25. wow 1 qt mineral oil wow
