@Duvel Outstanding. are the croissants made w butter ? interesting history re :croissants in France the curled shape , vs the straight shape. and Pork Products ! nice to see God's Bologna ( Mortadella ) is the version w/o pistachios. what is the blue item , just to the lower left of center ?

@Senior Sea Kayaker I agree w you re :cauli next time you have it in front of you on your plate it might help to reflect on the fact that is not GBPs

@scamhi always pleased to see your posts. and not jus because of the wine. very fine looking lamb. making note of roses temps.

@gfweb if its not around in 6 months , even better no need to cancel. don't need any more in 6 months cancel. beginning to get the idea ? Ill say no more.

@Duvel wonderful meal Im sure. what sort of potato did you use for themes ? its giving me ideas.

@weinoo thank you for the menus San Francisco is a fine city , on a beautiful city sunjny day . OK , parts of the city , these days.

@gfweb Excellent ! did you Subscribe and Save ? thank you @JoNorvelleWalker

My haul. I stocked up.

@Shelby ''' leftover fried shrimp ''' Oxymoron good luck ! been there. make sure you hear bout the Taboo Straw .

@weinoo fine trip. pleased you went to Tadich Grill. my favorite.

Credit Card companies have spent huge amounts of money ( a very very small % of their surcharge ) banning cash discounts , and much more banning CC surcharges through paying for legislation protecting their golden eggs.

@MaryIsobel I agree w you. mandatory tips are no longer tips. MT's are a way to slice up the actual cost to the dinner of the meal. into smaller units. why not add an ' energy surcharge ?' airlines do. business' are for profit. and the owner or partners want a return on heir investment. ' All staff are partners in this restaurant ' ?

This is my current Anova: I received it about a week ago, as it was on back order for about a month. its version 3.0 it was apparently on sale @ Anova for $ 149 , and at similar time was $ 188. at Amazon there is a more expensive Anova , for about $ 250 or so I believe. i got this one as my workhorse , which Ive had for quite a while got the heebee-jeebees as the water lever dropped too low and I did not notice , and it shut off. I couldn't figure out how to revive it ,and reset it , so bought this one. its not easy to see , but the cord entering the unit is fixed. the older one functioned , but the actual temp of the water , and the temp recorded on the screen were wildly different.

did the Berkley Bowl run out of honey ? used to be able to bring your own container and pick your own vat. and pay by weight.

and Im right behind @Shelby I will accept any and all Pork Products . no questions asked. Ok. F.D.: maybe a weisswurst ?

@Duvel Wow . Excellent . Congratulations . do like the look of that whisk(ie) glass . and the salmon . and the asparagus.

@Duvel do I love sausage ? yes I do. and for me , in spite of their being so many zillion delicious versions ; Ill always put Weisswurst near the top. split or not are their versions that are not 100 % veal ? does a Bear , you know , re: the woods ? what sorts of versions are available for you to pick from? I unfortunately have none. I have had some fine ones , from a German butcher and his family from Los Altos CA I preferred to grill them , rather than poach them in beer. I have drunk that beer , ice cold , while watching them grill heathen Im sure I am .

ditto !

@Dave W well put . something else is going on . be interesting to see what exactly NAIHM allows.

these items are a fine idea. newer iPots have a cord that unplugs from the unit . wonder why iPot ( or others ) didn't do that some time ago. my AF plug does not unplug from the unit. odd.

this is a slice of ground turkey from the slab that comes in those plastic tubs I slice what I plan to use , and handle it as little as possible season , then cooked/ browned in my 8 " non-stick fondless I then added the above white wine + demi reduced it a bit and poured over the slice of ground turkey. took about 30 seconds then poured over the turkey : came out very nice and very tasty .

TJ's shrimp Gyoza TJ's Gen Tsao bottled sauce w some hoisin 12 minutes , fz Goy's , cold start . crispy tops , soft bottom , steaming hot inside. these wrappers have a wonderful flavor done in the AF.

this is what Im going to use later today for the pan sauce for a turkey burger small pyrex dish : white wine ( Tj's coastal Chardonnay ) and a small slice , from the freezer ( small tub ) turkey demi. I micro'd for 30 seconds. then I let it sit. the dish is warm , not super hot . the demi splits up a bit and Im sure if I mixed this w a fork it would almost completely incorporate. then it sits until I use it.

@gfweb Fine idea. a keeper.

@ElsieD if you can get the demi out of it'd container while Fz , why add all those extra steps ? its easy to ' cut ' out portion ,from Fz , on the small containers Ive been using a small amount that I put in a small pyrex dish w the smash of wine I plan to use to deglaze my Fond-less . I just put that aside and to reaches room temp before i use it. I don't see why you can't micro ( to warm up ) the SAME AMOUT IF YOU DIDNT REMOVE THE FZ DEMI AHEAD OD TIME then wisk jin the pan. works for me.
