During my college days
I flew stand-by SFO - BOS 6 times a year. always got a seat , mostly one I picked.
meal was Filet Mignon , and delicious. Sometimes they gave me a second one if they
had extras. after giving military in uniform first dibs. economy class. No officers.
maybe my ratty old Navy Peacoat ( standard college uniform of the day ) had something to do
with it.
no wine , I wasn't 21.
United during its Prime Years.

twice a year , the CocaCola Co. offers 12 packs of many of their drinks, if not all
Early Spring is one of the times , possibly Fall the second time.
I recall 5 packs for $10.00 USD. "" Must Buy 5 " my numbers might be off a bit these days
but not by much : don't know how much 60 cans of soda , sugar or diet , cost to make,
ship , and distribute. but the marketing is clear : you must buy 5.
they want to get you addicted. and the cost of the lobbying to defeat a " Sugar tax " would make
a dent , albeit a small dent in The Nation Debt .

I make it a point not to look at the flip side of toast
dod you bread have sugar ion it ?
My CSO for sourdough needs a # 8 # 7 just barely gets the job done

both work well
just keep track of your times and temps.
on the iPot , consider using LowPressure.
and in the iPot , Ive done 18 from the refrigerator , in a basket
above the 1 cup of water , with the trivit
and then plunged the basket in cold tap water etc
and then dried the eggs when tap water cool
and sued them for some time for
egg salad , potato salad
etc.
but that Red lined book , has been misplaced
yikes.

Of course . its size.
Im sure they have finalized it
but not for us.
its durability Im hopeful
and then the non-sense about WiFi
and a subscription
but Im hopeful . a little wider and deeper , not too much
but taller too for Bread.
this I think they will miss
why ?
they have centered on the " Foot Print "
buit stll hopefull

their are issues w fresh garlic vac'd , I thnk
maybe not the frozen version. look into that when you get the chance

Lemon Grass is something I Vac.
its expensive and old , or just expensive if you can find a stalk or two that's reasonable
in the 'burbs. at Ranch 88 in Aliston , its bundled , so you can't pic out individual stalks.
each bundle seems to have a ' bad one ' but no matter.
when peeled a little bit if necessary , and cut down to about 1/2 length I Vac in a single layer :
and freeze. I take the stalks out one at a time or so , and reseal the same bag. the above set me back about $ 2.00
I do the same for fresh ginger . find a few very plump roots, trim off the little shoots and vac the whole thing that way and freeze.
take it out Fz and coarsely grate w the coarse CuisiPro Accutecc grater. its very sharp and works well, no freezer burn.
the only drawback is the ginger is very difficult to slice in ' coins ' for SV or whatever you might want ginger ' coins ' for.
ginger vac'd not puctured.
Ill beg on the hunt for " blue ' ginger and galangal next trip
what ' fresh ' herbs or roots do you vac and freeze then use Fz and reseal ?

I doubt there will ever be an Anova SO, or ASO. I don't know that for sure
but that's my bet. we would have seen it by now.
what's a bit odd to me , is that the folks at Breville haven't move in the SO direction.
can't be that hard.

It was my understudying way back when that the cans were processes at a high temp , thus the tubs had a more vibrant flavor.
and how cool having several tubs in the back your your refrigerator ! remember Im an Oriental Jar PacRat ! I discard the
two to more than two tubs in the back of my refrigerator when I got interested in this project. I didn't look at the sell-by date , because ....
here are the two Maaman curry pastes :
and the bag opened a bit and re-sealed in a VacBag and now in the freezer :
the plan being to open the secondary bag , and take out some of the paste to use from the primary bag , reseal the secondary bag and pop it back in the freezer.
Im no expert , but both pastes were 1 ) delicious and 2 ) identical to my palate , both in salt and flavor.
as Im not going to Run a large Thai Restaurant , it looking like it makes more sense to use the little cans , and come up w a freezing / vac plan for the smaller quantity
Ill taste the two Panang's at a later date.
50 years from now , their may be some of the flat-bagged curry paste still in the freezer !. I just wont be here to gloat at the tremendous savings I incurred !
Ill go back to Ranch 88 or Formosa Market * near by and see what canned flavors they have.
I wonder who I can dump some paste on , Vac's and frozen of course .

experiments continue : Thai Curry Paste : Salt
the cans were $ 1.65 each. they may be cheaper at the Ranch 88. the tubs were $ 3.99
the items based on their analysis are identical : 700 mg NaCl for the Massaman , and 570 mg for the Panag. every thing else mentioned at the back
is identical . Coast : cans are 45 % more expensive !
Ill open one or the other later today and at some to some rice Im going to have for dinner via the Rice-in-the-Bowl iPot method.
and report back on taste , pre-cooking.

yes , always nice to have a back-up , and its also wise
to re-backup that back-up.
very wise.

if I end u[p using these bags , in spite of the NaCl
I plan to cut the bag open just a bit at the top
use what I use
then place that bag , flat , in a larger VacBag , then vac and freeze
Ill open the vac'd bag and take out what I need from the Fz paste , then re-seal in that same vac BAG
Thats the current plan. Im quite the Oriental Condiment PacRat. I must have thrown out a zillion jars of
mighty interesting stuff that was years old from my refrig. Im trying a new plan
later today , when two Oriental Markets in my area open, Ill get a couple of those ' cat food ' cans
and compare them to the bags. its been a disappointment that the tubs have so much salt.
I should have realized this , but did not.

Id like it too be taller , for baking bread w/o scorch-top
1/4 sheet pan is not very important , nor air frying.
no way its going to have Microwave.
