@heidih buy TJ's OM. get a lime tree make Lime marmalade , and add a few thinly sliced Jalepenos or Seranos that's worth your effort eat the oranges , but dont peel them. slice off the skin and leave as much pith as you can stand . then candy the skin , w the rest of the pith on it. Pith is amazedly good for you. you have to do the lot-up and see studies done , in of all places , Italy. excellent for those fats and cholesterol swimming in our blood stream. shy no studies here ? the Orange Juice industry would not stand for ii nor BigPhama : no money in it for either of them , and they count on those two income streams. I studied this on myself. a remarkable change in 3 months , using oranges from two mature trees where I grew up , after my father moved on. he picked they way way to early. sorry for a bit of O.T. .

indeed . ' Prime' is the whole cow , not just the Prime [ Prime Ribs. ] the lesser Prime cuts are rarely marketed as such. Id love to see what a ' Prime ' flank steak carefully opened up so it was think w no pounding then cut into rouladen portions , ready to Roll Up. Ive seen what was clearly ' prime ' do to better marbling in the meat case , but labeled as ' choice ' no need to get into Black Angus labels etc

WSJ ( possibly NYTimes business section ) had an article about Tj's about a month or so into the C-19 re; shopping online and scheduled pick up Tj's had no interest in this , and the article backed it up by pointing out how TJ's had invested in its employees rather than in-line etc. its very much a Personable store. I miss going there a lot as I know most of the people and they are hired in part for their friendliness .

' Head:ines' on the google news feed , or anywhere on the Net tend to be alarmist and misleading : https://www.bloomberg.com/opinion/articles/2020-08-21/the-post-pandemic-future-of-trader-joe-s-looks-bumpy if TJ's folds , Id never get over it. the article doesnt not really suggest that in my final analysis.

i discovered roulades in Mimi Sheraton : The German Cookbook https://www.amazon.com/German-Cookbook-Complete-Mastering-Authentic/dp/0394401387/ref=sr_1_1?crid=2QE4MPXP3SPXY&dchild=1&keywords=mimi+sheraton&qid=1598103526&sprefix=mimi+she%2Caps%2C144&sr=8-1 this was back when the book was new , seemed very authentic to me , and was a very rare book on cooking ( in the USA ) that was not American-is. Ive pounded any Round thin then moved to flank steak back when FS was a very cheap cut in the USA as no one knew how to cook it. Ive always used a very healthy dose of sharp mustard , German or Dijon , and bacon. I never saw the need for a pickle , or carrot. browned and then cooked 325 covered 1/2 way up w beed stock. From a can ! rolled over for the second 1/2 of the cooking. both sides browned even further. sauce thicker and thats it. inhaled they were home mashed russets of course back then the russets were pealed , a big favor mistake. it is a great and fine dish !

@Anna N hoping those Bangers are the real deal. they look a little coarsely ground to me. hope there is plenty of cardboard in the filling. -
@StumptownGeek and excellent opportunity to stock up , and a great price , or Get Your Second just in case. if you had Top of the Line Electricals in your kitchen , and the space , you might run Two @ a time.!

@weinoo well try it w a few and then well there it is.

@weinoo fantastic on the roots. if you can spare a few ' plants ' see if they can survive in an inch or two of water , in a 1 qt container w or w/o sunlight for the first few days . if in bright sun initially they may die until they figure out they've been given a reprieve Ive done this w Green onions w minimal roots attached for a long time they actually grow. Cilantro : no such luck. but w or w/o roots in a 1 qt contianer , very loosely covered w a plastic bag , in the refrig they last much longer , than in the ' veg drawer '

@dtremit thanks for the clarification re WiFi. cant remember where I thought it required WiFi and a subacription for the newer Anova circulators. I guess they just dropped the Bluetooth. I hope the APO and BSO do better in terms ofd longevity and usefulness in the home kitchen. maybe the size of the CSO limited its Universality. Id love to have the " better " of the two newer SO's , and keep the CSO for smaller cooking amounts . and of course , Toast !

one does not necessarily connect itself to the other as im sure you know , they may be independent events or not.

APO : 16.9 X 10 x 12.4 BSO: 15.2 X 13.5 X 9.6 if the last unit is Hight , maybe the APO is better for bread baking ? all other aspects being equal ? 1/4 sheet pan : 13 x 9.5 1/3d sheet pan: 15.5 x 10.5 so neither oven will fit a 1/3 sheet pan. approx. more or less , the APO is $ 100 more. best I could do on ' Opening Shots " of the two ovens . when they ' start @ the drawing board ' wonder why no one had a 1/3d sheet pan would have cost nothing really more to accommodate one.

@IowaDee they still do. https://www.amazon.com/Pack-Sprouting-Lids-Stainless-Steel/dp/B07QW6V2Q3/ref=sr_1_17?dchild=1&keywords=sprout+jars&qid=1597501970&sr=8-17 I remember doing this wonder if seeds are readily available at a reasonable cost these days would have like radish sprouts , but never tried them rats

@CentralMA excellent points very valid in the Previous Epoc : PreC19 I enjoyed all this this ' pre ' at various very fine Indian marts in my area. thanks for your post

I also use s whirly style coffee grinder one for ' hot ' blends . one for ' non-hot ' blends but Im grinding about 3 tsp or less a time. so these work well for me. one would have been fine for this puirpose but I posted as I really like both and this style of note , the smaller was cheaper not on amazon , and had free shipping and was 18 dollars. i may have got the last one from that vendor , sorry !

i had an interesting discussion w my dentists way back when M&P's made out of granular stone , like granite etc sometimes leave tiny stone chips in your grind. over time , not so good for your Enamel . marble is probably not granular .

ive been getting a lot of items from Target.com. cans of this , and that. there was an article in the WSJ very recently that Target is using store space to fill orders locally. they come by UPS and its become quite popular. unfortunately , the cans are added to boxes that are too large , w a roll of that large bubble wrap. the cans band around. recently one order had one of the 'pop' top cans damaged and that pop pushed in. I tossed the can , and cleaned off a few other cans and took it in stride. a recent order had several cans s the Pop pushed in , and it was quite a mess i called and they credited me for the whole order , no problem but had no way to mention this to my local store. I buy 10 cans at a time of A , B , C etc. that's te ax these days / order. however , 12 cans would result in boxes that come to the store in a plastic blister covering , and no damage would take place , and no food lost. too bad they cant figure this out. I dont like to waste food , and this seems like a problem easily fixed w a little thoughtful attention. BTW Im finally all out of ChefBoyAreDee spaghetti and meat balls. was getting used to it w plenty of Penzey's amendments . wont get any more i think the canned lasagna ( you read correctly ) is much better. a sign of the times.

Ive recently been using more whole spices and herbs , from Penzey's to boost the flavor of some of my items from Target. i have a M&P somewhere in the basement , where things go to get lost. i got this one first ; EZ-Grip Silicone & Porcelain Mortar and Pestle With Non-Slip Detachable Silicone Base - NEW DESIGN BEST FOR GUACAMOLE - Dishwasher Safe by Cooler Kitchen then the 6 " inch one seemed large for doing small amounts. by the time the 4.5 " arrived , Id gotten used to the 6 ". Im posting because i like them both a lot : the 4.5 ' is just easier to handle when Im doing a Tablespoon or so for an individual dish. these are not Oxo , but they ahh taken on the Oxo look. the back bottom easily coms off and provided a decent non-skid surface.
