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.

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.

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

@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

@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 !

@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.

@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.

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 ....

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.

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.

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.

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.

@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

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.

noted.

@TdeV its $ 199 USD on Amazon now https://www.amazon.com/Cuisinart-CSO-300N1-Steam-Convection-Stainless/dp/B01JRT2WOG you wont find it any cheaper I advise 1 + 1 = 2 you will have a spare. I don't work for AMZN or Cuisi bet the price goes up when you check. AMZN has a BOT on eG : when someone is interested here , the price goes up there.

yes indeed the toast Fx on the CSO is outstanding and well worth the price of the total mach9ine esp when on Sale.

ive done corned beef @ 140 F for 48 hrs. chilled then placed the cold pieces , saving the jus , on a cold Weber that Ive then cold smoked for 1 hour with wood pellets in a wood pellet holder. plenty smoky for me. re-baged w a little bit of the cold jus ,k 2 - 3 T / bag , vacc'd and Fz. makes an excellent smoked corn beef sandwich. I dint know what to call 140 CB that is very tender , in terms of done=ness no bark , but so easy to do.

that's a really oddly interesting tomato @Shelby did you get any sense that it was " transmitting ? "
