better than ' Wait until Next Year "

( possibly ) Good News ! Tj's Pancake Bread is not seasonal !

I roast one cut at a time. the rest it for a short time what Ive noticed over 5 - 7 days , which is how long that amount lasts me the flavor does change and for my taste buds , the espresso has the best flavor 5 days after roasting. still very good at 7. , but 7 is not 5 espresso , if you roast your own ( far more bean and bean combo's to try ) is a personal journey. my best espresso , from my roast and equipment might not be your favorite but its mine. that's why you roast at home if you can. takes about a year to get close to your favorite Sweet Maria has a ' coffee library ' that discusses blends for espresso where to start ( 3 beans or less ) what to change and why one year. all good , but that's how you find your personal best blend.

@kayb very interesintg my Gmail can't be bothered to work In interested in a CSO pan a bit smaller than then one I have its the Max that being said ... im sure I other things that might work. But ................

TJ's in my area carries racks of lamb , Fz , from Canada. excellent. they are seasoned which seems problematic , the the seasoning works. just don't follow their cooking directions. interewting to caompare in price to NZ. Ill have to take a peek. in the NZ fresh ? I did note they now also have fresh racks. too bad about that steak. 15/lbs for non-flavor is a bit much. have you tried the RB40 Rx ?

Id eat that sample then let your know

the difference is very subtle to my eye. Id have to stop by and eat a dozen or more to decicde are the parchment one under baked.? I wouldn't mind.

Ive never understood the potato skin / salt recommendation Im not saying it does not work Ive never read an explanation of it , on a molecular level

@blue_dolphin nice in MA there is at least a $ 1.00 or more Graft and Corruption Tax for wine. 2 buck chuck is 3.99 not that anyone should drink it it goes to some commissioners lost nephew as no one touches the wine before it gets to TJ.s but some one collects at least 1 - 1.5 $$ / bottle Ill ask about the bottle you recumbent. if its here , and probably not it will be 5.99.

@JoNorvelleWalker LLBean is one thing a decent thing but Shake Shack is another.

@heidih thanks

Publications, such as FC a magazine i subscribe to are like many publications these days : they focus on providing approval for their audience why annoy them ? they pay your bills. NYTimes Food section does this Consumer Reports does this Im sure Test Kitchen does this , + churn churn churn I don't want to be told Im A Dummy Ive understood that for some time.

sweet mayo never thought of that. might be worth a try. how did the dish taste to you ? or more politely , would you order it again ? you might ask the chef for ' Sweet Miracle Whip ' as a sub ?

Ill look for that one there is not a lot of JDS around here I was surprised they make so many versions https://www.jimmydean.com/products Im happy enough w Jones

in response to the JB quote : had to go to LLBean for an exchange in that high-end outdoor mall there was a ShakeShack I of course never miss an opportunity for a SS visit if its right in front of me and a Amazon Book Store. I didn't go in , but found that odd. selling books on-line made Amazon Im wondering if JB is a little short on revolutionary ideas or that his vast wealths , or soon enough , 1/2 vast wealth had fogged up his brain. I was never a fan of WF , mostly their prices what what Ive seen of the Amazon WF across from TJ's dosnt inspire me to be a patron. they and so mush ' fresh ' fish on ice display , that I doubt they sell 1/3 d of it before it becomes ' fishy ' they must toss out a lot of high end food. or their patrons have very few taste buds. but , in the final analysis , as I own a very few shares of AMZN I hope A-WF eventually does very well

@gfweb what type of JDS did you use ? Ive found the ' tube ' version I get around here overly fatty https://www.jimmydean.com/products/fresh-sausage/roll-sausage/premium-pork-regular-sausage

@Kerry Beal lived the idea that the Chef ordered for you loved the look of the shrimp w pear wonder what the Rx is for that.

One thing about Tj's Ive visited : if you ask about things in a polite way and possibly they recognize you or not the staff can be very very helptfull I expressed a bit os dismay that a certain cookie in the plastic tubs had been discountinued to staff on the floor they said what about this ? and broke open the packed and I tried one very nice I get those from time to time gluten free crispy cookies gluten is not an issue for me but a crispy cookie is.

cheaper WF's https://www.wholefoodsmarket.com/stores/list/365 this might be all of them https://www.wholefoodsmarket.com/365 before JB bought WF I don't think , knowing very little that WF might not be going well for JB at all just a sense well you can pick up your Amazonian Loot there I guess.

Remember Bananas Foster ? easy and delicious ? adding in a thick slice of toasted pound cake make it so much better ? https://cooking.nytimes.com/recipes/1017148-bananas-foster or if behind a pay wall https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bananas_Foster subbing out the pound cake for a thick toasted slice of Tj's Pancake Bread .... its back on the menu ! you will have to taste a slice of Tj's PB toasted to understand.

JeffB who seems to have a lot on his mind revently has also dumped the WF ' 365 ' stores. as I own a very few shares of AMZN [ ed.: full disclosure , thank you ] JeffB really hasn't made a lot of WF yet

they sampled this at my Local today : they even let you put a drizzle of real Maple syrup on it if you wanted. WoW ! just to review : WoW128 ! its sort of a pound cake , that lighter than a tradition pound cake and tastes like those buttermilk pancakes you had a few times when your were 6 and got to sit on those round stools covered in red plastic , shinny metal items they were , at the Breakfast Counter ! they were initially a little hard to get out of the container, which seems to be one of those paper baking containers used for all sorts of things bakers bake but don't want the container back. tomorrow AM ; Ill toast a few trance's of this in the CSO , pull out a little Real MS from the refig , and warm first with a pair of Easy-Over eggs. was thinking about a pair of Jones Breakfast sausage or god is my co-pilot two thick crusty slices of Scrapple ! Ive decided that this is Soooo Good Ill be doing a Study. Im the Index , and that's all I need. I like this so much , with in reason that Admiral Joe is either going to ; 1 ) discontinue it soon " sorry , seasonal ' or 2 ) keep it in stock all year. 1 ) = they really like to drive me crazy 2 ) = Ill be dropping dead because Ill eat so much of this !

maybe the Bay Area Winds have changed. one used to land from the South. for ever and ever.

I have enjoyed all of the Vish Puri books. thanks for the Heads Up : Ill look in my library system and amazon to see if there are any new ones Ive missed. hopefully Canadian Bangers ? did you land in Oakland ? although I have not been ' home ' in a while and things do change seems your pilot might have tried to land at SFO the wrong way the bay in on the R side of the aircraft facing the front. in the traditional landing pattern. why Fry's electronics ? there was a very large FE in PaloAlto a long time ago I used to haunt when visiting my parents.

@Shelby Im hoping that those green sticking-out things are hatch chili not green #$)I&^#@$^@#^ bells ? if HC . Ill go back and change my ' icon comment ' if GB's I wont. DARTO looks good in the CSO work well ? I wish Id gotten the next smaller paella along with the same version you have so I could also have a smaller pan for the CSO
