@Shelby congrats to the FisherPersons I too love walleye. have you ever thought of brining some of the filets and smoking them ? Im a very big fan of cold smoke rather than hot ie Lox vs falky salmon that was hot smoked. granted that fresh water fish have to be dealt with differently that Sea fish. think about it.

Meal kits or " cook at home , as We've done most of the work " is clearly main stream in supermarkets , if those markets are in a certain economic demographic. as margins are so thin for supermarkets , Im guessing these kits have much larger margins. if they are successful

Penzey's sale :

apparently there are tables that tell you the number to use to set the emissivity Im guessing that # 2 of the two links has that extra feature and # 1 does not for 2 dollars more Ill put # 2 on a list. I refuse to buy Prime. saved me $ 20 just now !

@blue_dolphin perfect " sandwich-roll " egg Id say.

OK : https://www.amazon.com/Etekcity-Lasergrip-1080-Non-contact-Thermometer/dp/B00DMI632G/ref=sr_1_5?s=home-garden&ie=UTF8&qid=1527166463&sr=1-5&keywords=laser+thermometer vs https://www.amazon.com/Etekcity-Lasergrip-1080-Non-contact-Thermometer/dp/B013X0NQT0/ref=sr_1_5?s=home-garden&ie=UTF8&qid=1527166463&sr=1-5&keywords=laser%2Bthermometer&th=1 as far as I can tell #2 adjusts emissivity : black pan is different than a nickel pan thoughts ? a long time ago I almost got one to " test " the temp of my wood stove then relized the WS was " Hot " and , well that was that BTW there is a magnetic temp thing-ey on the top of the WS. if the WS gets too hot it damages the WS but lower than that its all good. after all , the WS does not have NaturalGas injectors I can turn on to get it to " Just Right "

there is a store several towns over from me. I rarely get out that way , so order on-line one fine thing about the stores , is you get to taste everything if you like. I almost always ' refresh ' my stock when the shipping drops as i don't need to order much to so that. Ill look over what I need and place an oder soon

I don't have an IR temp gizmo Ive always thought that measuring emissivity of the items was too complitcated I have black pans , and shinny nickel pans

Penzey's is having a sale starting at 6 pm E today it might be via email here is a way to sighn up for email http://spices.penzeys.com/coupon.html?mkt_tok=eyJpIjoiTVdNeU16QmxZVFl6WkRBeiIsInQiOiJjOW11b1V6Z1NhSUY1eks5OGd6NnVrREUzbm01ckJHQ3JESjJiVk5VUHlEOEFxdzFFTVZQM2g1OU5JY3FJWEVWVGlzK04xTHk3NnVTd1wvcUJhVkdtTzBhMVFTQXo5amlpZlBBVGE4Vm5wVERRNnQzUzVkM1lNWmJTa0kyT25VcmYifQ%3D%3D Ive gotten the bulk of my herbs and spices from them for a long while. Ive noticed a significant blip in their sales apparently there is a boycott penzey's movement as they have chosen to speak out politically any way , there it is. there is also a free shipping w 15 $ purchase , rather than 30 the usual.

@CantCookStillTry mighty fine looking tranche of cheese !

Ive been getting the 4 pack's of the center cut strips , vac-pouched. I ended up getting now pack a week and doing a RB-40 2 day refrigerated ' aging ' and then SV and freeze for Future Eating. it very much suits me for Beef. today I looked further into the Meat-Case and the have Black Angus vac packed meat. I didn't exactly Yawn , but there is it. one can get BA meat or not. for me choice is choice and Im careful to look for the best marble9ing in the case. however what I found interesting in the BA section , they had several cuts that are difficult for me to get in the burbs : hanger steak and skirts. I did not ask and it did not say on the skirts if they were inside or outside. they and a lot of hangers. there was a bit of sticker-shock on their prices , etc but I can't buy these unless i travel into The Big City and go to a bespoke butcher S&S sometimes has vac'd skirts , but they are clearly the thicker skirt , and I prefer the thinner. I do wonder if the 'Burgs Wegman's will survive. I do go early and on off hours. not a lot of traffic at those times.

2016 ? good to know I have not missed much at all.

@weinoo correct. I meant that there are way's that are extremely effective in passing on The Chef's Way and ways that speak more to a chef's vanity [ ed.: Vanity <= latin , Vanos ie empty ] and etc. Im surprised that there are a few chef's that still have not been rounded up that have done possible more that MB there is no excuse for any of this. MB , unlike the person Im thinking of , has far more insight and talent. loosing that is not the end of the world, but unfortunate. insight and talent are no excuse what so ever to be a #R()^*#@(R%^@#_R%@#^ to those who depend on you for your training and their future for their livelihood

its easy to think that the Yelling and Screaming is the norm for exceptionally high end restaurants. its possible. but consider a chef like Raymond Blanc. I have not been to any of his restaurants , but have seen many of his PBS / BBC cooking shows. I doubt he has to raise his voice , but cannot say that for sure. consider other high pressure work places. those that are more effective have a more thoughtful tenor yet require exceptional precision and close to perfect results, with exhausting schedules . Ive been in several of these . I think the Terror in the Kitchen is personality based , not a requirement for success

as an Experienced Outdoors Wood'sMan ie Pallets , and stuff like that PT-W is wet. and its the Center-Cut and it might warp. let it dry completely before you decide. that might be next spring or so.

@Shelby What an outstanding Deck ! Congratulations ! it looks to me like PT lumber. I approve. Mine is like that , but much older turns a nice med. grey if you can wait and leave it untreated.

@Shelby Wow so Nice a bench ! Animal Approved , no less ! not to get into any trouble here you are preserving it with ............. Hee Hee

do I miss my Garden and the three plots of Tomatoes 8 / trhance started in January in doors , with a seed amy ? and all the othedr and yes those 24 tomatoes , in their reinforcing circular container ( concrete reinforcing wire , in a bit spool , etc ) wer not the Best but locally ? I can't send you pics as that was the Kodak Days Ill give a Kudos to anyone that has an outside garded I did and I loved it we will see

yes I too walked home from elementary school and had C's tomato soup w milk. occasionally a grilled cheese. Dinosaurs had moved on from my area.

@Porthos I saw that GE show. I too use Wrights I have not tried DH brownies I use Betty C's Ill give them a try I use the BC's as a base for what I take to the Library. Ill make one of BC and one of DH and ask the library to decide.

Exactly For other folks. now days maybe they buy frozen ? waffels ?
