  1. @ElsieD thank you for the menu. looks very interesting Ive always though that the small tough bit on the scallop was the tendon , and the scallop itself the muscle. maybe Ive been wrong Earthquake , the gray Fuzz-Ball you see on the upper L loved the tendons , if they came w the scallops. Id peel them off , and give them to him raw he was beside himself with joy . took him some time to chew, and he'd sing all the while.

    DARTO pans

    I was thinking of getting the P 25 and P 20 for the CSO. my browser is a bit dated , and the new computer is still in the box , maturing. I couldn't get to to the check-out to see the shipping cost because of this. just as well , I might have gotten them , and rarely used them. there are far less expensive oven safe ceramic items for the CSO for baking and broiling Saved by Sloth , Id say i was.

    @weinoo yes , I tried my best not to stare at the Sable. my favorite. not locally available And I Thank God Every Day , as does my Bank Manager !
  15. too ' good ' to be true. even if well made , and accurate , and reliable its a gimmick , taking it on a Picnic ? with a long extension cord ? Dorm cooks sound like something but i don't think there is a lot of dorm cooking really going on. heating hot water : yes dried noodle 'bowl' yes Steak Dinner : no Stir fry : No weird round Japanese Balls : No E.R. ' Closet Cooking ' : One Unit.

    DARTO pans

    got an email from DARETO , the person I spoke with on the phone in the past : he said all models of pans will be offered on the sale.
  19. @Shelby exactly
  20. One thing Ive noted about Amazon : they try something , and then something else and what works they keep and what doesnt they give up on. I think there is an Eataly in downtown BOS. I don't have much interest in things like that for me , except to see how Markets are catering to they clientele I imagine they are looking at an urban , very wealthy crowd. and tha's fine if it works for them I think one thing Amazon strides for is efficiency . their new stores might be looking for a less affluent but still affluent crowd and look for profits by making the workings of the store very efficient. their cash-less stores eliminated human clerks at check out. and you and to have a CC to go their there was blow-back about that , not serving the whole population. a local family owned chain in my area , Roche Bros. make its mark w service. a person took your groceries to your car , and there was no tipping. w the advent of Check yourSelf out lines, saving a clerk's salary to them a long long long time to install. they have 4 now at a store near me. still service is their modle , and convenience the stores are in better than average wealthy neighborhoods. in MA towns decided if Wine/Beer/Liquor can be sold. they started selling it in the RB next to me a 10 $$ bottle their cost 6 $$ at TraderJoes , and 5 $$ at Totalwine but the sell a lot of 10s to their clientele you pick up a bottle or two on the way home. I don't feel Amazon is the threat its made out to be. physical bookstore were economically inefficient and Amazon capitalized on that ,l but now has it own bookstores , so go figure. but Food Markets are a much tougher Nut to Crack so we'll see what they come up with.
  21. @liamsaunt thank you for taking us along.
  22. remember , Im not a Beer Drinker except in restaurants w spicy food or sushi. Im now a big fan of H.U. to me, the House Lager is a bit less sharp , not very ' fruity ' and w a little less body. the Pilsner continues this trend : not sharp , not fusty , and less body. Id say if I were the Idiot some claim I am and went outside now to Mow the Lawn ( 92 F 82 % ) then came in and wanted a very icy beer , chugged right down the Pilsner would do the trick. if I chose the HU , more a sipping beer Id keel right over , for some reason. Im very much looking forward to visiting their tap room. its < 20 minus away.
  23. I went to TotalWine to renew my Hoponius Union cans and I got this as a single : Is , obviously a dark beer , and quite nice. JA's has sample packs , the the current version is one Ive already tried. once it cools down , Ill go visit the brewery , at 11:30 am when it opens and see if they have small sample sets in the tap room. Ill try to remember to take some pics , if allowed.
  24. an interesting article in the NYTimes , actually today's Print : https://www.nytimes.com/2019/07/28/technology/whole-foods-amazon-grocery.html I don't know if you can get around its paywall but of interest is that Amazon has been thinking about a different sort of grocery store for some time more or less with a larger delivery area , but with a walk i fresh section. for review purposes : ""The new stores, the document envisioned, would have robust sections for produce, fresh food and prepared meals. Nonperishable products, like paper towels or canned beans, would be stored on a separate floor, away from customers. Shoppers could order those items with an app, and while they shopped for fresh food, the other products would be brought down in time for check out. There would also be an area to pick up groceries ordered online and to manage packages for delivery drivers.'' " The marriage has made clear the difficulties of selling fresh food inexpensively, either in a physical store or through delivery. Bananas are not the same as books. But the combination has also shown glimmers of success, particularly in delivery. And that has provided some fuel to Amazon executives pushing to add another food-selling option — one built from the ground up'' "" The company is now quietly exploring an ambitious new chain, probably separate from Whole Foods, that is not far removed from the one outlined in the old memo. It would be built for in-store shopping as well as pickup and delivery'' ''The mixed results are reflected in prices at Whole Foods today. A standard basket of goods has fallen about 2.5 percent since the acquisition, according to Gordon Haskett Research Advisors. Amazon has said its Prime members, who get charged $119 for an annual subscription, have saved hundreds of millions of dollars in discounts at Whole Foods. But over all, Whole Foods is still more expensive than other major grocers, particularly for items like meat.'' "" Still, deliveries have shown big potential, making up almost all of Whole Foods’ growth."" "" Rather than dramatically substantially expand Whole Foods, several former employees said, Amazon is considering designing stores specifically with pickup and delivery in mind, and with a smaller area dedicated to fresh shopping"" ""And Amazon has been looking for spaces close to Whole Foods locations, indicating a hub-and-spoke approach where one store serves as the warehouse and commissary for others. Experts say it could take more than a decade to build a new chain from the ground up.'' interesting.
