@Shelby congratulations on those CatFish !

I thnk there is a Wendy's GB thread so ...... a set of coupons arrived w my weekly circulars there is one near buy I tried the Dave's single w cheese , and it was not offensive but I had a coupon for a chicken sand. spicy or hones-sty;le I got the https://menu.wendys.com/en_US/product/spicy-chicken-sandwich/ deux. W opens in my area at 10:00. no breakfast it seems I went at 10:30 as I was on the way past. I went inside to do some 'scoping. one set of people were just leaving place was clean , and the person who took my order friendly I got my CkSand's w extra tomato I was surprised in several ways : the sandwich was piping hot , crispy ( its fried ) and not greasy or oily. the portions were quit3e generous and it was indeed spicy. I liked it in the sense that if I was out and about and hungry and had only the usual fast-food. I get this. it arrived very quietly but could not have been sitting under a heating lamp. as it was so crispy. if a coupon comes your way , give it a try. it is spicy keep that in mind. P.S.: I went to the trouble of filling out their survey On-Line , as I was curious. using my receipt , they want me to come back in 30 days for another free CkSand. I might do that !

@liamsaunt that watermelon ' tub ' looks both refreshing and delicious !

i had an issue w planter on my balcony finest tomatoes vis the 6th floor : facing south , no bugs etc in 5 gallon buckets the issue for my area was that the buckets were on the balcony's ledge if you will they might have fallen off and hurt someone I built a plank ' shelf ' next to the balcony's ' ledge ' so the buckets were 1 foot be neigh the ledge that was a fine. tomatoes didn't care enough to argue w me. ask Id say ' ledge = the railing to keep you from falling.

the points were made by Waverly Root , not by me.; The books https://www.amazon.com/Food-France-Waverley-Root/dp/0679738975 https://www.amazon.com/Food-Italy-Waverley-Root/dp/0679738967/ref=pd_bxgy_14_img_2/131-8559044-3212828?_encoding=UTF8&pd_rd_i=0679738967&pd_rd_r=60c4c55d-a7dd-11e9-b724-6d396220776d&pd_rd_w=ikRZs&pd_rd_wg=QAmG9&pf_rd_p=a2006322-0bc0-4db9-a08e-d168c18ce6f0&pf_rd_r=FSHVQVXTAK408Q7RARKJ&psc=1&refRID=FSHVQVXTAK408Q7RARKJ the books are well worth redoing , but very dated on local food recommendations etc as i think they were initially published in the very late or early '60 I lived in Spain for two years , and in France for two years. some travel in Italy but not much I can tell you in the '60's in Spain you would rarely see butter , as it was expensive. and in France in a sillier time frame , butter in a finished sauce was common , as were various types of rillettes , pork , duck , goose in many parts of the country although its my impression that rillettes originated in Tours. and olive oil was used all over France for vinanigrette's did not mean to annoy anyone by my comments. I still feel France , back when , gained a breadth of flavor by making more use of these fats than other mediterranean countries .

fine article. thank you for posting the link. for a long time , in the France / Spain / Italy triangle all agrarian based France had one advantage over Spain and Italy : it had three types of fat to work with Butter , Olive oil , Lard. and these fats made French cooking strand out. ref: Waverly Root : The Food of France. WR extremely fond of Italian Food , " the Food of Italy " but pointed out that the three fats made French food overall more complex. times change . food becomes processes and mass produced. and cheaper “But isn’t the point to taste the chicken?” Furious and foreign, I replied: “No! It’s just the opposite! Cooking is about messing with the chicken! Cooking is about adding flavour!” Here was the rub between French culinary conservatism and the way we in Britain and America have magpied ingredients from all over the world and made national favourites out of hybrid curries and Tex-Mex. if the chicken is from Bresse , Id say taste the chicken. if the chicken is from Perdue or Tyson go Tex-Mex

@robirdstx your CPP looks delicious ! CPP ( or Turkey PP ) is one of the great comfort foods.

@Smithy everything that relates to the CSO is right here on eG. take your time its all right here not on Gooooogle certainly not on FaaceBook

@weinoo It'll be nice to have a water reservoir that's not all green with algae - at least for a little while! keep the old reservoir take the cap off and keep it of course then get a wonderful brush and deal w the algrea in the old water container or get a bit of beach , full strength w some hot water put that in the old reservoir and while hot put your palm over the top and Shake , Shake , Shake. the drain , and let the rest of the bleach in container evaporate. you might rise the container after its dry but use that cover your water container w a towel tea or not so no sunlight gets in the old container no more algae. seee ?

@weinoo a bit sad for Your Girl consider keeping all the ' removables " drip pan , grates , crumb master ie anything you can rip out of it and use those sparkling clean in the new CSO why ? well why not ? you now have Pristine Spares !

@Margaret Pilgrim Im 3/4's going crazy here jus now : do I love scallops or what ? and a fruit desert crumble or Crisp or Pandowdy but quite nice on a pastry slab !

@KennethT get it anyway @ 199 USD no matter on the counter space you will feet rid of lesser items and understand : Combi - baking best toast ever etc. all the info is here and its a very long thread for good reason.

@Kerry Beal Ooooooooo! Oooooooooooo! I think those BB's are V1 or so. no matter looking above those I see interesting things stuff on skewers and vac'd ? should you go back , Id love to see more panoramic pics of this store's stuff as long at its not out of the way ,

@kayb look at your potential savings : get that BU @ 199 USD and avoid a backup's backup ! you just saved the price of your backup !

I havent checked the new feed today was there something about a strike during the 2 days ? not a lot of purchasing here maybe you are liike me : already have what your need. inc reserves and reserve reserves of Vital Edquitment.

3 is a fine number 4 not so much keeping my fingers crossed that they keep making them my COS # 1 is going fine got it very shortly after this thread started. WilliiamSonoma , $ 179 free shipping and no tax

Im a big fan of FC. I still subscribe, and they are doing their best to stay in business.

@weinoo C*AP ! don't get me going and buying another one ! amybe https://www.amazon.com/Cuisinart-CSO-300-Convection-DISCONTINUED-MANUFACTURER/dp/B00E6ZK8BQ/ref=sr_1_12?keywords=cuisinart+steam+oven&qid=1563210423&s=gateway&sr=8-12 is D/C'd not , perhaps the https://www.amazon.com/Cuisinart-Steam-Convection-Stainless-Steel/dp/B01JRT2WOG/ref=sr_1_3?keywords=cuisinart+steam+oven&qid=1563210479&s=gateway&sr=8-3

when Ive had a problem w Amazon , 800 number , they have been very accommodating no harm if trying

proba bly no very good reason. not even general principles. I also have never bought a used car. my last Highlander lasted 16 years , and I gave it away to a mechanic that would fix it up on his own time for a family member. so , more of an oddity. I do buy used books , in very good condition so I can't say its because I don't know ' where ' its been. if you go back on this thread , the vast majority of CSO owner love the toast.

I had no idea Bob Dylan was a graphic ( if you choose to call pictures ) artist I love his style. fantastic. if I owned on of these I wouldn't be able to take my eyes off it.

@Smithy "That leads to the question: how good is the CSO for simple toast? Most toaster ovens don't do as well as a regular toaster. Is this an exception? " way back when , in a time long ago I got my first CSO simply for the toast. best toast ever , esp if good grain and fresh : the oven is sealed , unlike ordinary TO's , so you get perfect toast a a moist center. I attribute this " find " detail to @weinoo very early in the CSO thread. worth every penny if just for toast. buy a new one. look for 199 USD https://www.amazon.com/Cuisinart-Steam-Convection-Stainless-Steel/dp/B01JRT2WOG/ref=sr_1_3?crid=MVE5AFC3DOXZ&keywords=cuisinart+steam+oven&qid=1563204674&s=gateway&sprefix=cujisinart+srteam+oven%2Caps%2C123&sr=8-3 you will not regret it. you wont need that older toaster. can't say on the air fryer.

@Raamo what a fine looking dish ! would you share the title of your Indian Cookbook with us ?

Bavette SV rare ( 130 f ) sliced thin. Salad w ALDI Chipotle Ranch , just a hint ( bottled ) Salad cold , Babette room temp. hot here. P.S.: the Bavette is sirloin tips but sold as a whole pice of meat. you have to ask for a whole piece. when sirloin tips are on sale ( the cut up stiff in the meat case ) ask the butcher to trim up a few whole ones at S&S they gladly do this , right next to a large window , showing off their knife skills. Inc. theatrical sharpening of the knife. then SV. Please don't mention that its a Bavette. it will go off-sale in a flash. more like this coming days as it pretty hot here

ALDI smoked Brat : right out of the pack Micro'd 45 sec . Note it plumped up ! Torch Charred w spicy brown mustard : Lunch in less than a Minute and very tasty . also a bonus : a weeks worth of NaCl dans le plate ! I can check that box right off !
