@Norm Matthews that's a shame. I have not baked bread but the toast i get is superb on 7 , the highest setting , I only get a little char on an edge or two Odd.

@Anna N congratulations fresh Nuts are a Gift from [ fill in the blank ] My sister used to send me Pecans from Tx where she lived She had good friends that were growers she also pick up a lot of P.Nuts in here small town they were planted in that part of Tx as shade in the public areas nothing quite like really Fresh Nuts Im glad you VacFz your stash !

Id like to find a reference on eG to useful iPot accessories this one was probably on this thread but I can't find it. I have soi many bookmarks as they are getting close to useless I did goggle ipot accessories and that was useful this ref included a stainless steel bowl one might use for pressure steaming rice : above the trivet and 1 cup of water the bowl had rice + water and was thought to be a better method to do rice in the iP as then you only had that bowl to clean ring any bells ? many thanks

MRE's are easier to stomach than anything connected to Martha

Its my understanding he started a magazine probably called Cooks Illustrated , or close sold it , then it perhaps floundered , then bought it back and it became the current version I may have subscribed to the second version or a year or so. the used the libraries versions then Rx Churn settled in and that was that.

I get mine from the library. its international bent makes its apeal but the writing is bad , and the Rx's text way over hypes the Rx's I think the first issue had an Oriental Slaw that was quite good the the text suggested this was a brand new and revolutionary Slaw not so fast .... it still is a much better publication that the current CI the early very early CI were quite good , now more of the same. the TV show was a much ' cleaner ' presentation if you like seeing Rx's made.

they're back !

thanks works fine learn something every day there is the masseter muscle and then the cheek i.e. a thin muscle w skin and lots of fat. nice to know

@Okanagancook I can't play the vid ' embedded. does someone have the url so I can go to the site. Ive always thought the jowl was the ' whole piece skin an all masseter muscle and all surrounding fat and skin cheek would be the muscle ' cleaned ' ?

going back to the ref above i have one of these: f from the same gas station. Ill pick up some cashews from Tj's tomorrow just in case also some Chocolate.

6 cashews ? better than my dinner right there.

Botalite Bowls : https://marketplace.apartmenttherapy.com/posts/65784-too-cool-mid-century-botalite-faux-wood-bowls here are my three : I know these were free at the FlyingHose in mid '50's MC enjoys them now for his dry food he is indifferent to the bowl and has no interest in that many wonderful Cats from the past enjoyed their dry food in this same bowl that did well w the bowl deeply sorry to move this thread in a different doirection MC gets no Chocolate does that help

@Anna N thanks for that Vid this didn't work for me the last time I tried it. it might have been w textured bags for a Vac system that was not a chamber vac as I have one of these now, Ill try it again. I do note that on the vid , the bag they are using seems to have significant ' texture and thickness based on some sounds I hear thanks again

I have a coupon for Hello Fresh for first time users $ 30 off first order for a 2 or 4 person box. it came today w my Fine Cooking OCtNov issue PM me if this is helpful Ill return via PM the code.

@ElsieD Id like to see how they turn out in the iP pardon me for Butting in .... do you SV ? if not go for it. for me iP works well for ground meat sauces i.e. Ragu and BabyBackRibs, of all things other meats do better SV id say. Ive been trying to find Cheeks for a long time to make SV Cheek pastrami

the station we went to was in LosAltos it gave away an assortment of items for a ' fill up ' a towel , long gone , a plastic salad bowl ( several ) those bowls were used for Dry Cat Food for eons. MC uses one of two left to this day. now that's value !

the red horse used to be a symbol for Mobil gas I remember it in the ' 50's flying a gas horse

Even MA gasave that up years ago. N.H. was taking all the Sunday business away. you couldn't even mow your lawn until after Noon.

@Alex when I was on the S.Side , at the UofC CHI had no redeeming Food , etc they did have Thursdays at the Art Institute for free ! no matter that was soooo long ago : 1972. I had to escape on the LC to Randolph then walked around.

@Alex nice ! thanks ! looks pretty fine. however , Ir rather walk these days than deal with CHI and yes I spent 4 years there , on the S. Side and it was the right place at the time Cheers !

it is. still , the ATK cabal never uses SV or PC cooking as i understand it , and might be wrong the ATK revenue stream is no longer a Flood , but probably not a trickle. no new news I can find on the ATK vs CK suits. CK/MS won its suite on its name , there being a Milk Street Cafe nearby that objected.

@ElsieD yes I did. Still Idiots , but on a less cluttered set.

No food courts ? I have not been through Chicago in a long time. used to have to stop there on the way to SFO for a ridiculously low fare. it was a mess then , perhaps know in one of the food courts there was a carnita burrito w fine Tex-Mex trimming inside as good as you could get in any Barrio Ive ever been in. much better than any sit-down rest. at CHI I could tell : no one was smiling at any of them plenty of smiles at the Burrito Loco ( made up the name ) I didn't mind the lay-over because of it. now that says something !

@ElsieD were you able to watch this on-line ?

Ive seen the first ep of Milk Street TV w you know know CK aside from my views on CK it a decent show and Im able to Cap it w my over the air HD TV at the end of the show they say you can see the show for free and all the others at milkstreettv.com it flips over in my area to the Milk street site that wants your email etc to here : https://www.177milkstreet.com/tv not quite the same. no matter its very different from ATK no Bobsie Twins , and a guest chef or two. there is an audience , but they have paid to be there as MS also has classes and it seems they film them , perhaps then they might be part of the TV show in the first week : Chinese Whit3e Cooked Chicken and Sizzling oil veg a la Fuchsia Dunlop and a brief review of a Chinese Cleaver. P.S.: F.D.: I mis-heard them : " you can get the Rx's at our website " you can not view the videos.
