  1. @JoNorvelleWalker thank you for you insight and research. my error : Its the Pan ! however , I don't have ( that's not in a sealed box , where it will stay ) WiFi if the APO will work off bluetooth esp from an iPod or an iPad I have several of those but only via BT. a project for the Cognoscenti to work on after all , they have all the appropriate hardwire
  2. that a book bring seasonality to the forefront w must-do Rx's speaks for the insight of the author and the thought put into the book itself.

    @heidih I like the idea of muting the intensity of smoked mussels w cream heavy cream so it can go w some reduced dry white wine, Ill try to remember this. wine ? ive got plenty. Ill try to remember to look at TJ's for some smoked mussles and Il grab a bar or two of ' cream cheese ' fz it works great for heavy cream once you dilute s Tbs or two out w milk or water. the fat content stays high enough so it does not split w the acid from the wine.
  4. or in a conventional oven. temp higher time to be determined based on temp. just as easy quicker based on temp chosen and start in the earlier past of the day , done a few hours later.
  5. or get a ' blade roast ' when on sale. cut your own flatIrons out of that easy peasy and so tasty.

    I can see SM's in pasta fine diced , and not too many in a pasta dish that did not have a lot of sauce. i have not had smoked oysters maybe TJ's has them ? zillion years ago SM's cut to the right size went into cherry tomatoes , cut and barely opened as a very sofisticated canapés. well after stuffed celery stalks gave up their ghosts just saying.
  8. of interest probably only to me : I did a Blitz this AM @ rocheBro , a local family owned chain that's a fine store to shop at its more expensive than Stop&Shop which is more expensive than MarketBasket @ RB's the olives in question , whole are $ 6.79. Target , w free delivery , alas whole , $ 4.49. Walmart $ 4.59 pitted , but only pick uip variations like this inter3est me , simply as economics and Market forces at work. Ill get a couple offers fr0 Target RBro's has some very nice Shubbery , but I digit think to look for the other ingredients on this Blitz. if they have fresh mint , Im guessing they do , it will be in a standard ' fresh ' bunch not in a plastic packet.
  9. I have a BR : Osler the brand doesn't maker as they are made and brande3d in China and the elemental ones are more or less the same w different brands on the, and I use to use this for some tie understanding the container was flinsy , and if you scratched the non-stick liner .............. moving on : Id like to start baking bread here for toast etc I plan to go back to this Finest Baking Book Ever https://www.amazon.com/Best-Bread-Ever-Homemade-Processor/dp/0767900324/ref=sxts_sxwds-bia-wc-nc-drs1_0?cv_ct_cx=best+bread+ever&dchild=1&keywords=best+bread+ever&pd_rd_i=0767900324&pd_rd_r=4417b32a-6656-48ad-8a69-71303fb11703&pd_rd_w=Mtwz9&pd_rd_wg=RZnh3&pf_rd_p=bb3ab43b-b104-4d0e-bd07-c0b6b72185d0&pf_rd_r=Z959MH5R0EMEKQ7RYGKP&psc=1&qid=1604854165&sr=1-1-88388c6d-14b8-4f70-90f6-05ac39e80cc0 why this book ? you got your ingredients in order the put the dry in the Chisinart then added the water , in a stream and 9n 45 seconds , perfect dough so what you say very little oxygen was in corporate so the bread when baked ket for some time so : back to the topic , I myself have started are their newer Brad Machines that do this : may I put a retarded dough in them possibly from the ReFrig and then set a time on them to warm the dough slowly , then Id kn ow about when this waws the push bake thank you for your insight
  10. Rats ! #$%)R(*$R%Y_ !!! Im convinced that LGD might go well as the ' sauce ' on some I know I'm right. but .... Target has the olives , and will ship , but they are not pitted. bummer. Walmart has the olives and they are pitted , but they won't ship them. pick up only. maybe they just don't ship glass containers . Bummer x 2 . so Target its going to be. ** sigh ** RocheBro , a store I Blitz for time to time does not seem to have them. Ill call pre-Blitz

    Dinner 2020

    @Duvel nice Democracy dinner ! Ive always thought gyros , the kind ive had was stacked lamb , not ground lamb.
  12. @Maison Rustique very wise . these books are different from other cookbooks very different. and so much more interesting and insightful. you won't regret your purchase.

    @shain that PastaBake looks delicious ! please consider sharing the Rx. thank you.
  14. M & C does not have red sauce. but good quality ham is always welcome. and lasagna has to have a béchamel sauce as a base to build on.
  15. @Margaret Pilgrim R-a-R has a lower sodium Chicken version. its their only lower salt version. it has been difficult to find . I make it , and use 2/3 of the ' flavo(u)r [sic] ' packet. its OK . I add other items to the concoction and it gets better. commercial items like this would not sell w lower salt commercial levels of salt have been ' burnt-in ' to commercial palates and are expected by consumers. those consumers have thus attenuated their ability to taste anything but salt. its self fulfilling commercially : salt is cheap . people can't taste anything but salt , thus cheaper ingredients can be successfully used. I wouldn't waste time and risk looking for it in a store but Target and my RedCard is a different story. its a minor part of my C-19 plan. and as this is a M&C thread : target has those M&C boxes , I happen to know they come in 5-packs and cannot be salvaged. so mine went , w telephonic apologies to my local food-bank. they are still loved by 8 year olds Im told and were appreciated.
  16. @ElsieD thank you Ill look for a tub at my new Dash at RocheBros. PS how is Zeus doing in the crese these days ?

    Breakfast 2020!

    @Ann_T that looks so delicious : crunchy ( the bread ) Oooozie ( the cheese ) and Meat-Ball-ie ( the MB's ! ) and just enough Tomatoe-iy very nice wh9uld you consider sharing the MB Rx ? cheers
  18. cheers Ill make my story shorter : Id like to do two things w the post : 1 ) for Bread Baking , machine or not what has been your experience w this item : https://www.amazon.com/Cultured-Buttermilk-Cooking-Baking-Powdered/dp/B0014D07BE/ref=sr_1_23?crid=2AAN0YY6F5QFJ&dchild=1&keywords=dry+sourdough+powder&sprefix=dry+sourdo%2Caps%2C148&sr=8-23 it seems scare and way to expensive .... but , if I used this in my weighed concoction for a bread machine , would i get a ' reasonable ' sourdough flavor(u)r no worries , back when may oven worked , I made SD bread w my own SD culture . now , Id like to get back to baking some bread and once this item if is not outrageously priced [ed.: it might be in his local store he has to plan h9s next Blits ! ] I might get it locally or well.... the second question is : Heavy Cream : https://www.amazon.com/Hoosier-Hill-Farm-Heavy-Powder/dp/B00OCV3QRW/ref=sr_1_16?crid=2AAN0YY6F5QFJ&dchild=1&keywords=dry+sourdough+powder&sprefix=dry+sourdo%2Caps%2C148&sr=8-16 I don't keep heavy cream , as it spoils before I use id. I love a bit os heavy cream in my pasta [non-tomato] dishes w wine , reduced etc. only heavy cream will not split w the acid from the wine I used to keep CreamCheese , cut into 2 TBS hunks and then froze them why ? mix then w a little milk or water and as long as y9u fat content is high enough you can add them to a wine sauce , for some creamy - nes and it won't split thank you for your help cheers
  19. for completeness sake only : JB dumped 3 billion USD Amazon stock , 'recently' JB's WF aside : is he thinking his RocketShip vs ElonM's RocketShip [ed.: each going to NoWhere ] is going to have FirstClass ? leftover WF Asparagus water ? too bad the Boys can't grow up. one RocketShip to NoWhere is all we don't need. cheers
  20. and some gas stations might there be a Web look-up based on an address ?
  21. a LOT of stuff ! WF is not the sharpest move Jeff has done.
  22. @Shelby why so glum ? they did have flour and fome Tp , but you've probably already stocked up Im sure . ish yes its Tues , and a bit glum but : Turkey SV this way and that ? better than ever. maybe next Tues. will be better I hope so MC is Sunbsthing and I have not asked him.
  23. @Shelby sesame seed oil can be very powerful , esp roasted its flavor is unique "" next time I will use just a regular olive oil "" add just a few drops of SSO to the decant3ed amount of olive oil you plan to use. just a few drops . 2 drops , and taste you won't regret it.
  24. @Kim Shook then you browned them ? look delicious
