  1. Im enjoying this show , for the second time Day of the Jackal https://www.imdb.com/title/tt24053860/?ref_=nv_sr_srsg_0_tt_8_nm_0_in_0_q_day%20of part of Ep 9 takes place in a fancy hotel , by the water , Cadiz , or the like this apparatus in in the dining room . I noticed the wheel on it , so it might not be just for show human included in the snap for size : focus issues , not mine , att least in this instance another shot , showing the base. this looks substantial you turn that heavy wheel to do sometiing for sure.
  2. I'd be eating Campari tomatoes , ignoring the price.

    @weinoo way back when , I was thinking about getting the Matfer. it was not overly expensive , and sent from FR ( cheaper ) but I went w two version of the Japanese slice you have . One ( the smaller one ) was the color of yours. the other , a bit larger , but still not that big was a green-blue Ive use them extensively and still do . nice stuff
  5. @JeanneCake no more additions from me. Ill keep them for later. Its a Wonderful box to Open ! hope you get the French One !
  6. @Smithy I did not mean you , for sure . I meant the Internet . you know what I mean.
  7. I agree " A [ fill this in ] with veggies ] might be tasty . Yet It suggests the specific collection of V's on the plate don't matter , and are an after thought . best sides on a plate Ive ever had were carefully though out vegetables . cooked specifically for the Main. several times , they out shone that main , and that main was very very very good.
  8. that's one way of looking at it . my first RC'r is a 10 Cup National//Panasonic. . Purchased when The Ultimate Rice Cooker Cookbook: 250 No-Fail Recipes for Pilafs, Risottos, Polenta, Chilis, Soups, Porridges, Puddings, and More, from Start to Finish in Your Rice Cooker (eG-friendly Amazon.com link) was brand new. bowl is flat bottomed , as this is just Fuzzy my 3 C Zo and now 5 C Zo ' Flat-top ' have thicker rounded bottom bowls , a pleasure to use. I dont think these sizes would do well as slow cookers. maybe a 10 C . dont know why a slow cooker would muck up a quality bowl , though

    Breakfast 2025

    @blue_dolphin when I first saw your picture , and nothing else, I thought : You should start a Chain these really look good. Id love to have one near me. Its interesting that several chains that have started in the South ( USA ) migrate North to a limit , than go west rather than further North.
  10. @gulfporter Mug Cake looks delicious ( on the Rx page ) just what I need to help stay trim , but with a big smile !
  11. Mine arrived yesterday PM I was very lucky : they sent me the French Version. Cooking is always better ' Frenched " this is very nice . Im quite happy . getting some broccoli tomorrow AM , @ MarketBasket.
  12. @BaxterBaker Welcome. have you cooked grass-fed beef , to you liking ? its not going to have much intramuscular fat and over cooking , looking for tenderness , on the tougher ( and tastier ) cuts will disappoint. are you familiar w Sous Vide ? looking into SV might be worth your while.

    over here https://forums.egullet.org/topic/155097-trader-joes-products-2017–/page/66/ on the Trader Joes page , the Salsas Verde Ck Enchiladas were mentioned https://www.traderjoes.com/home/products/pdp/salsa-verde-chicken-enchiladas-076678 along w Chile rellenos So Micro'd w swiss , torched ( not shown ) topped w home made Campari Pico . Tj's also has Pico de Gallo , refrigerated and is a zillion times better than that jarred C*AP salsa they carry. very nice meal . have to look into a 6-pack of Negra Modelo https://www.beeradvocate.com/beer/profile/75/667/ Ice Cold for the future. but Hoponius Union filled in very nicely in an emergency.

    Dinner 2025

    Another layer dinner : Mise kimchi // sauerkraut // Campari // red onion // window green onion light sprinkle of Penzey's Pico eggs from the refrig , warming to room temp on the counter . humid day it seems TJ's Fz Naan-ish , generic ( USA ) swiss . its been in the crisper a while , ' extra flavor ' 30 second Micro. Naan starts frozen. cheese refig. I like this swiss for sadwiches : melt to a very nice ' chew ' and is a bit nutty . careful torching soft scrambled eggs w butter . Most here can see this is not an omelette . Mise on top. what ever you want to call this , its delicious and now in the regular rotation . N.B. the bit of jus from the mise. soaks in nicely w this type of bread . all ingredients very readily available. seasoning on the Mise might change , but not by much.

    @Duvel those Flammkuchen look fabulous the first one is a favorite of mine , but ive only had it in FR. BTW : what are these antenna used for ? II havent seen these in quite a while . probably not for getting Cooking Shows, as the Locals seem to have cooking down pat.
  19. Billions + Bored = fake butter.
  20. @ElsieD when did you get the ' ball - maker ? ' Id love to have one , for a reasonable price. that's why I got the A4 for . its still in the box. was looking to make meatballs , as balls , no pucks as I used to do. As ive said before , no one orders Spaghetti w Meat Pucks.
  21. @JeanneCake just to review a bit : Patience . it's a bit Older School . way before Clicks . worked wonderfully back then still works that way now . Just dont forget the fresh broccoli . Makes the gift.
  22. @Kerry Beal nothing like , puff pastry , that some one else bakes , perfectly for tasty filling , so , why not them do that too ? while you enjoy , a young , but amusing . Chablis ? Ice cold ? it warms up , belive me for me , the filling would be Scallops , a la https://theculinarytravelguide.com/the-jc100-coquilles-st-jacques-a-la-provencale/ https://www.seriouseats.com/coquilles-saint-jacques-recipe-8723608 and the like . Mine had mushrooms , in the creamy mix

    Dinner 2025

    @gulfporter that looks Outstanding , 5 ***** , if not more. you must have the patience of Job , w that skewering . it reminds me of a grill-grate contraption , I brought back from FR a long time ago I was there visiting my parents , and low and behold a grill basket , flat , that had long handles and could be turned on a grill , grilling each side perfectly I use it for swordfish wrapped in bacon , and the like. no idea where it is now. but Id bet you can find something, that's height adjustable , for those tommats and other things , saving the skewering

    Dinner 2025

    I frequently make a dinner starting w my usual Spinach / Campari salad , room temp then I add on top of that , one of Tj's Fz Indian-ish dishes . usually a Vindaloo , lamb or chicken the hot rice goes on top of the salad , followed by the Vindaloo . I add dried cranberries // cherries // toasted pecans // MajorG chutney. what I found doing this is that the spinach // hot rice interface is quite delicious , and worth remembering for the futiure thus : plain spinach . chopped w a little EVOO , for mouth feel freshly cooked hot rice , buttered. Again , the bit of butter for mouth feel. sorry for the focus. sometimes my iPhone just doesn't focus well this is a RocheBro service meat counter burger , 1/2 lbs. pan charred a bit , w RB's coleslaw ( nice horseradish bite ) and Campari w a bit of Penzey's Pico seasoning pan reduction of table wine du jour over the burger quite delicious you have see these before . now the rice interface. half way through the plate so you can see the burger is Rare , just past FR ' blue ' delicious. so , try fresh hot rice , over the sturdier room temp greens of your choice . you wont be looking b back .
  25. @Kerry Beal they have a very appealing menu , including Vol-au-Vent , one of my very favorite dishes , and difficult to come by .
