rotuts

Id like to know more about how it dices. there seem to be three 'screens this is on the 16 . how do these screens cut ? do you jus pus the food through them , then a blade slices the 'stocks ?' P.S.:found this : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cnuwRYRJoYg

indeed , developed a thirst : dry , a bit more tart. could not pinpoint the subtle differences. rare Harrison , Graniwincle , Newtown Pippin , Franklin. I have had Newtown Pippins . can't tell you much about that. very nice . more tomorrow. cheers

@Tropicalsenior should you find the time ould youtkepics of each version when you cut them in 1/2 ? thank you.

I looked into this as far as I can tell its a smaller Breville food processor ? https://www.breville.com/en-us/shop/food-processors so the they have a 9 12 and 16 ? cups ? w versions called ' Parasite ' and versions called ' Sous Chef ' >

Today's first study : EtOH 6.9 % dry , tart , possibly a bit more tart than the others. I taste a bit of something , not in the Boston Heirloom , but I can't tell you what that is. studying the back , this has Pinot Noir skins in it . no apple variety mentions. I'm enjoying , but Ill sub Bos,H for it next time . no real reason. its looking like a two can day.. why not ? 95 F ++ Tues, Wed , possibly thursday cool enough ( 66 F ) inside for a sl buzz.

@YvetteMT wow thank you for sharing Id like to hear more about the mushroom powder .

first up : thesis from RoxburyRussets and Baldwin apples . Heirloom apples developed in NE in the 1600's dry and tart , but less tart than the CrabApples of yesterday. Stormsalong description on the back suggests : ''' Champagne-Like w tart and tangy acidity '' I of course quaffed 1/2 of the glass , before I looked into any one else's opinion but its a bit like champagne , if you delete so many connotations , and rely on your tasting . this is 6.9 % EtOH a generous 16 oz. Ive liked all Ive tasted so far , and will re-purchase the lot. but on first taste , this seemed to me to be a ' winner by a nose ' [ N.B.: I do liike Champagne , or its modern version M.Rotuts ] 16 0z might preclude todays second tastting , but the day is young. wonderful discovery for me . I like dry over sweet , and love apples . dry is not quite the same as tart. Adventures continue. When I re-visit to restock ( Soon ? ) Ill look into the medium sweet heirlooms. the person there said he would sell me individual cans. Buzz buzz buzz.

@Shelby I don't see any eggplant at least . Eggplant : the Garden's Cancer.

@YvetteMT do you confit the legs ? have no idea what C.G. fat tastes like.

@YvetteMT interesting flavor combinations w the corn. Ive sometimes added a pinch of sugar to corn now Im going to try a bit of honey. like the idea of parmesan too. thanks for the ideas.

@Neely thank you for sharing. sometimes less is more. seems the restaurant is not quite there yet,

@weinoo exactly emphasis the pleasant. two more trials tomorrow.

over here , a field trip literally https://forums.egullet.org/topic/166683-a-very-short-trip-to-stormalong-cider/#comment-2426849

I just could not stand the anticipation I tried another can : this is made w Wickson Crab apples . 7.4 % EtOH Im not a good descriptor of flavor , ie Vanilla is , well vanilla. ( the good stuff ) this is Crab Apple. if youve tasted ripe crab apples , its righ there or crab apple jam , but not sweet , right here it is very nice. hopefully the last can today. what a very nice find., all these are

Im placing this here , as its a Discovery and a Trip. a very short trip , 1.5 towns over. https://www.stormalong.com/ I discovered some of these Ciders @ TotalWine very recently. they have been in business 10 years or so , and are almost in my backyard. along with https://jacksabby.com/ , one town west home of the delicious Hoponius Unioon Im really set for Local cider // beer. I programed into the ' GPS Display ' the address. I would have never found the place otherwise. In MA there is the TurnPike ( AKA ' Pike' ) its a highway that charges tolls , even though its been paid for many times over. Its my understanding the tools support distant relatives 3d cousins , 4th nephews etc relate to the various Finance Committees of Mass.Gov. youdont take that here : you take this : this is a bit of the better stretch. you get here that's all there is . the cider is made in Leominster , not here no hours , no phone . but the very pleasant fellow i met said there might be some one here , most days , early afternoon Inside : they have it seems versions that are available at TJ's, mentioned before , and Total Wine. those come from more common local ( MA ) apples . Ive posed a few Ive tried. they also have here , versions from more rare apples , harvested in smaller quantities. they have dryish and mid- sweet range of each . they make versions , that are not really different than the main stream exclusively for CT. , from the common apples . different can is all they also make apple berry blends , blueberry , cherry etc they sell in N.E. , and NYC. I asked about that for @weinoo the fellow was not sure , but though NYC TJ's had berry versions , etc but the TW items were also sold in various liquor marts. they also sell in Chicago. so I was pointed to the rare apples , sold at Farmers Markets not TJ's nor TW don't get me wrong ,the stuff @ TW , based on your ' dryness preference is excellent. I got 24 cans , 6 sets of four : decided to try today , so far : this is a dry cider aged in whisky barrels for 10 months. EtOH 8.3 % dry , pleasantly tart , noticeable char and whisky aroma right off the bat. subtle , but right there. delicious . @Duvel would be all over this. these versions are a bit pricier , being limited editions w rare'er apples . 24 cans cost me ~ $ 3.00 a can . maybe a bit less . most cans are 12 oz , two ro so 16 oz. what a wonderful find for me. although you might not be able to get those versions if you live in NE , CT or NYC try some , noting the dryness level on the back. not only did AAPL go up a bit in the last few days ( I own a handful of shares ( and this post is brought to you on an iMac I get to drink Apple Cider day to day ! Ill post the other 5 here as I try them. Cheers !

if this thin TJ's vanilla wafer were used for communion wafers they would ' Pack the House ' any denomination what so ever . you could make one up ,

@weinoo don't know about TJ's NYC , re : prices . Id find out if your Local has ' yellow ' tags for exclusives ( cheaper ) and ' white tags re ' more expensive that Total Whine . look for the HH , id say , but it might be a NE item ? one nice thing about Stormalongs : on the back of the can there is an indicator of Dry // Sweet : they mention the apple types , but please who remembers what a Baldwin apple taste like ? and their description : leave a lot to new desires : mo oak whatsoever . apparently , the place is very near to me this one: https://www.stormalong.com/cider/mass-appeal was a bit sweet . however , ice cold , w a bit of added selzer to cut the sweetness , one of those little umbrellas a small plastic ' sword ' w stabbed pineapple , cherries , mango etc on a hot humid day : would do very nicely. https://www.stormalong.com/ is very near me OIll have to stop by. take some pic. etc

Ive been looking into hard cider recently , and have come up w some refreshing results , both at Totl Wine and Trader Joes. TJ's has a yellow label system for items exclusive to them , and a white label for non-exclusive items. the white label items are usually cheaper @ totalWine. Tj's is excellent . dry , but not bone Sahara dry. $ 9.99 12 12 Tj's also have Stormalong , 12.99 4 cans the same at Total wine 11.99 https://www.totalwine.com/search/all?text=stormalong this is dryer , and quite crisp. tried this from TW today : this is very dry and quite tart . for some reason @ TW $ 9,99 4 cans this is very interesting . its unfiltered , and resembles cider you purchased at an orchard that you then let ferment at room temp , to your desired dryness . thus , you might enjoy the orchards best , w some sweetness , by refrigerating before the natural yeast give up and die. this version has a little sweetness left to it. not too much , but not bone dry as I like the natural orchard stuff. there are many more brands in my area than there were 5 0r so years ago . one brand , Angry Orchard I don't care for at all . it taste a bit soapy to me. so TJ's exclusive for most of the time , and an occasional storm along , but from TW mot TJ's

also this AM @ TJ's spotted this : salted and spiced calamari is one of my very favorite dished in Chinatown. used the sir fryer , from frozen : plated dip was mayo and a good portion go green tabasco . these were crispy , batter not too thick but a bit chewy. in Cginese restaurants thy end up w a bit thinner better , and very tender , guess that' a good thing , or Id have these twice a dat.! Ill try the other 1/2 pack in a pre-heated AF. I use the AF with a cold (room temp ) start. either way Ill have them again. just as well they turned out this way or there would be big trouble here.

Went to TJ's this AM. they were out of the sourdough rye cris. but they had these : enabled by @Maison Rustique, I snapped up pack. they are delicious. they remind me of the cookie Lorna Doone's : but thin and crispy. dangerous items to have around.

@BeeZee the TJ's smoked trout is quite nice . hopefully , you have tried the canned lightly smoked salmon nicely complementary to the trout.

odder then odd. what does it mean the spices can be individualized during the buying process ?' so , the idea is : on your Smart Phone , ( iPhone , please _) the is a Spice App , while in front of the Spice Rack you select ' oregano ' and the jar of oregano ' light up ? somebody had been hitting The Dispensary too often Id think.

impressive price .

APO seems to have many problems . for that amount of money , Id be very cautious. look for a CSO , if you can find one. a shame they stopped making them.

@lemniscate ill look for them salty ?
