Went to Tj's this Am , on the hunt for a loaf of brioche bread. I though that would give me something to do , and keep busy , as they say. unfortunately , their loaf is already sliced , and the slices look fairly thick. didn't seem like a worthwhile project because of that. rats .

@ElsieD love the idea of dehydrating various mushrooms , especially if they go on sale then grinding them , then using therm in , well , anything you wanted some mushroom flavor : soups , stews , rice dishes etc ?

has anyone tried a brioche-style bread in the P.P.? keeping in mind the butter , sugar and eggs ?

@OlyveOyl what sort of brioche bread from TJ's were you working with ? I recall a loaf ? what that it ? how do you think that TJ's BB would work in a Panini Press ? Ice always liked their MJ. and pick ladies , which were new to me.

@Shelby fine looking food . BTW : this isn't well known , but GBP's are 1,733 % carbs , besides being poisonous . just saying.

@JoNorvelleWalker I was going to ask if you paid for this, but thought better , as that would be a bit rude . BTW : if Amazon asks , or you might suggest , an evaluation of this : GE Profile Indoor Smoker on sale for $600 you might also suggest , as this is ' complex ' an associate , to send a second unit to ( Me ) . ask for some pellets for yourself . I have plenty ,

The Far Side :

No walnuts. again .

@TicTac nice ! never thought Id have a vegetable pOrn folder. until now .

@Kerala looks very tasty. what is the item on the left/lower w a white 'sauce?'

In the WHPS Vader :

@fledflew good points . one of our members has this Unit. I can not find the ref. to that a query to that member , re their use , would be very in that thread. Ill start salivating w excellent review here well , you do have to rate the meat as one end is hotter than the other.

the notes that come w the boards, suggest keep away from high temps. any idea what that means re: the rubber etc? Id like to find out about ' hot plates ' and the like I micro'd this , and its hot , certainly less than 212 f so , hot from the microwave , not hot from the stove ? appreciate it . P.S.: Ive seen 90 C as a limit on some secondary Japanese sites. thank you again .

then there is this :

@Matthew.Taylor love the cake. are those bricks sugar or plastic ?

the Cubano is a mighty fine sandwich . its the pickle that elevates it and the roast pork . but the pork is very hard to find unless you make it yourself.

@gfweb try the light mayo coating on the two outer surfaces . be prepared to make a second sandwich .

I just use a paper towel. its true , its not the easy to get between the grill ridges. so ball up a PT for that.

the time to start was 8 years ago.

@Tropicalsenior good point My Oxo's , what ever they are made of are also 20 y.o. its s point for the younger folks for sure.

I use these : https://www.amazon.com/OXO-65191-Grips-Flexible-Turner/dp/B0000CCY1T/ref=sr_1_1?crid=1L9HX87H7ZJZQ&dib=eyJ2IjoiMSJ9.9IjTRd4iBwKobg_RxlJ6G2WPhVKRbIgT4ArSyjKagNzNXjiAw4x_zlnlqSm7ZChVEkyeCbA1xbF10_jZR6jF-ud4eEiBVff5vMIUgM5SMpxcFMxgF-k8yEOqILC40kWnnc2CY6U76o49ZodshnKzDPrAN_hEM7acXV7pGVQnbjovoTuxJ0BhkCXp_QdksCPSRtaxAi-BATVolIAamUNzVK3yrEZmOqqNbM1FDYO9uqHC_CfeaEIr4yoqEZbxoC5vEiU1CL5QIQAx4C2WHyuPiK0f_ajJfBi226bRVc8tG8E.HhPcVb7Pv9PZ75zcTMvqxtYYtlezt3Bq9T39HKZdIAY&dib_tag=se&keywords=oxo%2Bblack%2Bspatula&qid=1730480549&sprefix=oxo%2Bblack%2Bspatula%2Caps%2C95&sr=8-1&th=1 Oxo black nylon spatulas. wonder if the ' black ' is from those black plastic bit , ground fine . Ill still use them , but , ...

@Ann_T that fried egg looks perfect. I love an egg w crispy edges.

@C. sapidus fine tips. thank you . Ill keep that in mind. Im sure the results would be a ' cut above ' for now : just the toasted spice blend. in something . so fresh ( toasted ) flavors and aromas stand out. because they really do.

@paulraphael absolutely right. the boards are expensive. the two thinner ones I got were more reasonable , and much easier to move around. the thinner ones seem to come in only one ' blend ' , much easier to sort out that way ! and I think for my use , and general home use , will be very pleasant to use. Id also consider that thiner version in a larger version , as sort of a base but the widths cap-out if you sill , and other sizes are just longer. restaurant ? those , not so much. I do not plan to use a dishwasher , and have that scraper just in case

I recently purchased a number of tins from Spice Trekker : https://spicetrekkers.com/shop/spice-blends these were mentioned in a thread , and @Smithy posted the tins contents , over here : https://forums.egullet.org/topic/166082-dinner-2024/page/107/#comment-2436176 I used one in a simple curry like dish I bring these up , just in case an interested spice person missed the other threads Im very very happy w my purchase . of note , on their site they have spice kits . almost all are out of stock I called and asked : the trays they use for the kits are out of stock , not the spices. [ mods please feel free to move this into a Spice thread , which I was not able to find . thanks ]
