    Aldi

    the ALDI near me closer than Tj's seems to have stalled. Ive seen no new activity in the last three months next to them at Harbor Freight I asked if they knew anyting thought they were waiting for a liquor license right next to Total Wine ? I remembered to ask at the TownHall, paying some bills No , no liquor license has been requested. at another window , they said ALDI has not come in for their building permit Yikes !
  2. the PB might be there I hope for a while. my weight might not like it. I am indeed determined to make Bananas Foster with it Ive got all I need. Tj's has some nice vanilla ice cream to boot. No Rum in my area Total Wine will come through for me for that.
  3. OK what are the colored strips for ? photo 2 ? and the steel pan , p 1 what's in the blue tubs ? the little triangle ? rice ball packer ?
  4. better than ' Wait until Next Year "
  5. ( possibly ) Good News ! Tj's Pancake Bread is not seasonal !
  6. 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.

    DARTO pans

    @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 ................
  8. 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 ?
  9. Id eat that sample then let your know
  10. 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.
  11. 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
  12. @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.
  13. @JoNorvelleWalker LLBean is one thing a decent thing but Shake Shack is another.
  14. 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.
  15. 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 ?

    Breakfast 2019

    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
  17. 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

    Breakfast 2019

    @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
  19. @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.
  20. 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.
  21. 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.
  22. 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.
  23. 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
  24. 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 !
