now Im not trying to be nosy , as far as I can tell http://www.roguecreamery.com/store/product/1391/Smokey-Blue-Cheese-Wheel/ its $ 35 / lb @ + 250 X yikes !

you will be there 6 weeks this time ?

Id never take an ' old ' wine anywhere. stirs up the sediment. and the oldest wines Ive had were 22 y.o. zinfandels I aged myself kept them at home and drank them at home.

yes indeed the first pic reminds me of old fashioned Lab benches hope all the experiments work out well !

I was able to D/L his cooking videos a long time ago. I enjoyed them , and learned a lot from them. so congratulations !

thank you re : World Market there is one very near me ! didn't know anything about it will check it out after the heat Wave ! thanks again

I always look forward to these trips. thank you for taking the time to include us. New digs ?

on-the-vine are the best tomatoes I can get ' off-season' I mature them in a brown paper bag w a few apples in them. sometimes this helps , sometimes not. cherry tomatoes are nice , I used to grow super-swett 100 but they taste like cherry tomatoes , not regular tomatoes. and no tomato in the store taste like one you pic at home. even farmers market tomatoes , sometimes quite nice , are picked too early I don't blame the farmers , cash in the hand is better than cash on the bush.

nothing can be done to GBB to make them remotely palatable. therefore : 1) throw them out 2) never buy them 3) remember to mention you are allergic to GBB in any restaurant that might serve them , esp Chinese

im wondering if the bran , unless its well soaked , or autolysed , affects the gluten strands on the final rise. if you separated the bran , you could sprinkle it on the top before baking ?

p.S.: Large oven or CSO baked ?

my PJ starter finally has some mold on the sides and has been retired. Ill try again as soon as I get some more PJ. I like the look of that bread ! how did it taste re heritage vs commercial grain ? did you remove the bran ? do an autolysis ?

well, it must have been something I ate . I had a coupon for BigMac';s so yesterday I had two. in contrast to the 1/4 lb'r the BigMac's were ' tastier' I thought about it : they look more interesting and there was a definite sweetness to them, sort of sweet and sour. maybe the Special Sauce and we know how addicting Commercial levels of sugar are. McD also knows .

@HungryChris Im not a fan of BB. probably Ive never had one that wasn't a bit soggy a sort of Let's get rid of this , and make that for me the That was not thought out too well but , I do like the looks of your BB ! Id like those who use Fz or not old B's to consider : what might mike your BB tastier and more interesting ? with very little trouble to you Spices , that you have ? Cinnamon , freshly greater Nutmeg [ the great sleeper of all spices ] and Id suggest a thicker layer of Frosting. I do like the CS as a starter a bit of Rum or Rhum ?

TraderJoes has two ' crisps ' Apple ( some tartness there ) and Peach ( sweeter , with decent peach flavor I love Crisp , crumbles etc they demo'd both the other day very nice Id say for No Work , etc if you like crisp very nice. forgot the vanilla Ice Cream Peach up next. too bad their isn't a Sour Cherry

this has been my standard breakfast for a few months now yes a few months. I look forward to it. its easy , and very tasty now the 'On-the-Vine' tomatoes are not so toothsome , and taste like tomatoes not like the ones I used to grow in my garden , but tomatoes none the less. $ 0.99 an lbs @ MarketBasket , $ 2.49 else-ware , same tomatoes. the eggs are ' steam-sauted ' on TJ's sourdough ( Pigs that Fly , N.H. ) and Jones Pork Microwave'd sausages. 45 seconds work fine for my system. Im right now looking forward to tomorrow's breakfast , same as above. Microwavable " Crispy " scrapple would be nice , but Im not going to hold my breath

Coupon Time ! possibly time to take a few hits for the Team McD and BurgerKing sent me coupons , good for this month yest. I caved and got 2 1/4 lb'ers w cheese. the McD is close by , and i micro'd the burger to get them hot enough to melt the cheese. these were ' fresh meat ' burgers , said to boost sales 30 % Im not sure what 1/4 lbs'ers were like w Fz meat these were neither here nor there , and not meaty at all. however , they were not ' sweet ' , as I recall BigM's are over all pretty blah blah the price for one of these in my area is $ 6.30 w tax seems high to me for the experience over all. at the usual rate for one. even 6.39 for two , wont get me to go back.

" Its the frosting that makes the cake . " I said that.

Im not sure Id pass flour through these mills more than once. rather , find the finest setting and leave it at that. what's my logic ? heat. and Im guessing heat will damage flavor, which is what home milling is about. I say this having considerable experience grinding my own coffee.

thank you for taking us along.

yikes!

@Kerry Beal what is an "Amazon store ?" Ive noticed that Amazon has a book store , down where Ive had an exceptional SmokeShake burger but Im a bit baffled of course it you have a TraZillionBazzion to work with its so far beyond me now it the Bezzos has a nice , friendly restaurant near me : top of the line Texmex etc etc maybe an UltraPrime FrenchDip w a nice Dip and not salty well Id buy tow more shares

@weinoo its always a wise idea to ' cut out the middle person ' if you can App people are paying , one way or another for convenience , and over the long run its overpriced. think how much people are paying for the current fad : " subscriptions " : Netflix , streaming audio , etc convenient it seems , vastly over priced in the long run. it eats up your eventual retirement , and then its too late. not really wishing to rain on anyones Parade, but please

@Kim Shook please don't tell anyone, but I would have been happy to have a scoop or two of that TP and enjoyed it !

from the WSJ Monday , 24 A : https://www.wsj.com/articles/restaurants-are-arm-twisting-delivery-companies-to-lower-fees-11561282202?mod=searchresults&page=1&pos=4 Its probably behind a payWall , but maybe someone knows a round ab0ut for review purposes only : "" Some of the biggest restaurant operators are pushing back against fees charged by delivery companies, turning up the heat on young businesses already wrestling with rivals in an increasingly crowded market for bringing food to people’s doors. Restaurants were quick to sign up with delivery companies such as Grubhub Inc.GRUB -0.79% and Postmates Inc. to reach more customers. Now, growing competition in the delivery business is emboldening many restaurants to seek lower rates from such companies. McDonald’s Corp. , Applebee’s and Cousins Submarines Inc. are among chains negotiating to pay lower commissions and asking their delivery partners to spend more on marketing and promotional discounts, people familiar with the negotiations said. Restaurateurs say high fees dent their profits. They add that lower fees and more promotional spending by delivery companies could increase customer choice by enticing more establishments to offer delivery. Delivery has quickly emerged as one of the biggest conundrums facing the food business, from restaurants to groceries. Consumers want the convenience, but the technology and logistics required to get it right—whether in-house or through an outside provider—often are more costly, outweighing any additional revenue generated.
