  1. of note for chamber vac's : do your best to get the ' oil pump ' moisture from vac'ing bags wont damage it Id say use displacement for you initial SV work , then move on depending on usage . if you get the smaller Anova , look into the width limitations of the clamp.

    Dinner 2019

    barnacles are delicious. you peel them after steaming and eat the ' muscle ' which is more or less the neck. and that's a Pain in the Neck for sure.
  3. roasting , grinding , extracting and enjoying coffee all can be easily done at home. Selecting the beans , not so much. is you enjoy coffee , why not pay attention to these variables , which you can easily do ? thus have your own Personal Perfect Cup ? nothing snobbish about it. on the other hand , if you buy by price , not result , that's a different matter. good luck making your own wine.

    Breakfast 2019

    @!Kim Shook are those TJ's Fz items the sort you proof at home then bake ?
  5. P.S.: chicken meat just to complete my thesis is a completely different matter.
  6. yolk color is diet dependent and possible breed dependent. there is a flavor dependent component that Ive encounter a few times even is supermarket eggs and neighborhood eggs , that's a bit rare the egg i.e. the yolk has a super eggy taste that's exceptional.. but Ive never been able to track what this flair is called , and what causes it. its rare , and can be in a supermarket egg , from a genetically similar set of chickens fed the same food. when I taste , its like being in heaven. however briefly. however @Margaret Pilgrim Im pleased you like your eggs.
  7. my favorite part of the article , from the NYTime : "" (Taste tests also showed that most folks could not tell the difference between backyard eggs and supermarket eggs, and those who could were split on which were better.) "" I , of course , have known this for quite some time based an studies done by " FoodUnwrapped " a British food show on British 4 I just couldn't let this infer pass on by !
  8. well he recommended a Sichuan restaurant NW-ish of BOS I went there and ordered two of the dishes recommended they were superb. how he ever found this rest. in a plain vanilla town Ill never know so I cut him some slack.

    Nasty Ingredients

    in about what ? 50 - 60 years from now ? you would be able to get an Amazon gene transplant kit ( home version ) to fix up that soapy gene. Im sure of it.

    since we have two soaps here : if cilantro is cooked , i.e. the flavor is in , say , a broth is that soapy to you? I think AltonBrown in one of the newer GE made some sort of point about C being cooked effects those w the soapy gene less soapily

    never tasted stinkbug. too challenging for me. fortunately I don't have the Soap gene.
  13. Im wondering a few things : Chamber Vacuum Sealer - Chamber Vac Pro I $759.00 VACUUM CHAMBER WITH PUMP FOR SMALL RESTAURANTS Chamber Vacuum Sealer - Chamber Vac Pro II $799.00 VACUUM CHAMBER WITH OIL PUMP FOR SMALL RESTAURANTS these are the two more expensive chamber vacs , in a conventional configuration note that the 800 $$ one has an oil pump I can't find out if the vertical has an oil pump In not spend thius kind of mont for anything less than an oil pump. you will have to fix the non-oil pump evenbtually which I had to do w the Weston that looks a lot like : https://www.vestaprecision.com/collections/ibie-2019-featured-products/products/vacuum-sealer-vac-n-seal-pro-i way back when https://www.vestaprecision.com/collections/ibie-2019-featured-products/products/vacuum-sealer-vac-n-seal-pro-ii dry pump keep that in mind. reading a bit more carefully the vertical is a dry , not and oil pump. but an interesting idea save , and go for Oil.
  14. Nice @Anna N "" I removed the corn cob pieces and then put the rest into the Thermomix. "" so what happened to them in the TRMX ? you didn't grind them up ? if not , did you choose to discard the well washed SP skins ? why not add them to ThePot and discard alter ? nice
  15. @palo some time ago I recommended to the LunchLadies in the GTA a U-Haul for their trips to The Island that they so much enjoy\ Cant find it now for yu but it was a bit racy and dynanimc sooo U-Haul would work
  16. @palo go figure buy 8 +++ get your Mule Team ( no Borax ) and move them down S of the B and sell them off a Truck !
  17. @lemniscate world market is Cost Plus ? yes there is one very near me. I went their for the first time a few weeks ago and was impressed on some of the imported foods. that's a nmoce tip Ill make a note and look for MA's there I think a long long time ago there were small jars Cara Mia ? but I think those are only via the web these days. it must be very difficult to get rid of a layer or two of fibrous leaves \as these are probably mechanically processes two sets were OK , then three more were very fibrous , and I dissected them out it was the outer leaves.
  18. @Smithy no problem at all. Im pleased I tried these. Ill just take them back.. I will try to take off a leaf or two and try again drained. Id love to find a jared artichoke ' bottoms ' that suit me. so the trial was worth it.
  19. I sampled the artichokes. I was disappointed : the oil was flavorless soybean oil , probably w one drop of EVOO. and several layers of very fibrous leaves were not removed. its probably going back. I could remove a leaf or two , and drain the oil off and place in a dish w some real EVOO ....

    Lunch 2019

    this is a late lunch , 2 PM taken as a take-out from here : https://www.ricenoodlethaieatery.com/#home-section in the L Seafood Basil Pad Thai. spicy. calamari ( stir-fry , not crispy ) shrimp and scallop ( 1 ) next time Shrimp : plump and nice on the R : broad rice noodle w duck , Lime leaf and peppercorn. hot I love Thai food , and this seems far better than decent and they have Duck ! superb food. Im sure the LunchLadies dwouild not have too much trouble in the GTA getting = or better long commute for me for take-out. its at the other end of my town , and the food is superb. its in a nowhere tiny strip maul , and I discovered it as it had take over a Chinese restaurant that seems to have given up the ghost. the food is unusually good for any Thai restaurant , esp in the suburbs. very smaall 4 tables , and no beer license , so after the first superb lunch I and there , I take-out and have a very very cold Hoponius Union or 2 , in a Fz glass I decided to pass out menu's at Tj's, the Library , the FireHouse , and P{olive station Im going to die if this place does not survive. very pleasant staff ( one person ) and there has always been people from Thailand coming in or eating their on my trips.
  21. but w inserts. if it passes the @Anna N testing I can see this might have a place in a small apartment. not a college dorm.
  22. this AM @ TJ's : two items that were recommended , some smoked oysters , which I have not had in a while , and two Indian packs of Dahl-ish items. on rice some of these packs are quite nice. Packing changes from time to time.
  23. I like the HC-MC. I keep one or so in the freezer , along w some of their Indian + / rice Fz stuff. there is a little heater in the HC-MC , not too much. I use the micro , and it comes out nice and creamy. and quickly.
  24. @Margaret Pilgrim I grew up in the Bay Area South Im a Native Son, back when Im not sure TJ's excels at Fresh cheese : yes Nuts : Yes dried fruit : yes. Fz fish : just be careful here Ill post on my SV Cod Fz from Tj's soon and it decent unless you r catch your own
  25. one nice thing about TJ's cheeses: their prices are always better than elsewhere they may not have what your a specifically looking for, might have something close enough or not but but always cheaper for much the same or same-enough thing.
