From Ames , Bili-Labsrix 1991 exp 1998 these are 'Historical' and i don't need to test for blood or glucose in ' urine ' Hach ' Sofchek ' 50 strips , two containers , one never opened for Calcium only from 2012 that being said no idea how long ' sealed ' cloned Brita's last and , If I had to repurchase , Id be concerned about clones of clones , an the chinese business model. so , I just pass the water , twice , though what I have its only for The Espresso Machine . I drink good old fashioned town well water . so far so good on that.

my Brita's , were USA purchased there is a Brita clones these days : https://www.amazon.com/Overbest-Replacement-Pitchers-Dispensers-Reduction/dp/B08FSPLQLZ/ref=sr_1_15?crid=13MF0XUP83RHS&dib=eyJ2IjoiMSJ9.sV6u3vCv--cDKJ67xLhfcQfFO3uyPJ1PI07h9iUDfaWYUgzK_etwH06SJBANG3xkfB-fDHLPmxn-rVQ-ozdFkwa0YRVizx-Je9RXcfeSQgb0hvIgSbUAayojkw2sq-B0aImbJKrt4oB1bDwZo88fcKNJ3hUCY_INgDZDZ8BNcS4BJMUIhiWS_vtP_yjNKhFg0ERJzMdaNRF1Dq4Md42WKI_K3Rt9HruRpinRAtrVGWQFysD4_9f-q-bPfdj4ophEKksIWEMh7mXmupEQHQtGs-fEANqcbcb-lP9SV0lT7sM.7MIze3Es4f9LkBuchLzopEgSL_Pn2EfUlqgvC4hMRiU&dib_tag=se&keywords=b%2Bbrita&qid=1717613298&sprefix=b%2Bbrita%2Caps%2C92&sr=8-15&th=1 Ive been purchasing Brita clones for some time can't tell you the clone band , as I have about 6 of them , for future needs , and have had them for a bit. the clones that I have , remove calcium , to the same degree ad Brita USA did, I habe Ca test strips , about 100 lifetimes worth , ie two containers , maybe 25 - 25 ++++ per can. cheaper that way,re shipping. the test strip company is the same company that supplied test strips to various hospitals Ive worked in over the various yeats however , one clones appear , there will be clones of clones and we know what the business model is in the end, for chinese companies.

that stuff was probably , for me low '70's stuff. I think it had lids.

@Paul Bacino looks delicious. I have those same pots somewhere , in a secret place , known only to the pots that certainly dates me . maybe that style is still current .

BTW does anyone know the cost od the panasonic unit ? I could not find it. w 2400 W its 220 V ?

I mentioned this quite some time ago, a curiosity. at least in California , Brita is not allowed to advertise its calcium removal properties . why ? Culligan (sp?) , a major water softening company had 'prepped' the legislators w a bill that disallowed that information to be public via ads. things might have changed by now , but I have my doubts.

@weinoo Montreal is indeed a fine city . Wine is always marked up in restaurants . I have not been to Canada in quite some time , but I recall the wine prices in restaurants , relative to the meal was far higher than USA . some of that was probably a much higher tax rate now , BTG : the choices you posted average $ 15 a glass ( 12 USD ) what's the pour ? 6 oz ? 4 oz ? and a bonus in Montreal : you can pretend to speak French ! just like they do in Montreal ! ( bit of a joke ) if you ask someone on the street for directions , etc in English best of luck to you ! you ask is very bad Jr. high french : they will take you there ! and the aroma , on a Sunday morning , at the Patisserie : just like France .

TJ's Pizza - rsh : cur w amendments : doen in the AirFryer : TJ's Mozarella , ' fresh ' in the log. cut reasonably this , brought yo room temp , ripped into picecies the fit TJ's jar'd tomato / basil Marinara . will try the garlic next Ive varied the ingredients a bit and found my style version : TJ's Nan-is ue frozen Marinara ( room temp ) a generous layer. this is a tomato pizza - ish take the sauce as close to the edge a you. some Penzey's tuscan blends. it has some anise in it.' tastes Italian ' add the mozzarella , rip it to fit . thick enough to melt nd have chew. AF 400 F until there above. i use the AF w/o presses. when done , cut and plate amendments : one of several TJ's EVOO , very generous dose. I like the crust to absorb some TJ's oregano , green dried chula dukes , and green tabasco. there is no decent Pizza establishment where i like. a family the ran the Local retired after a zillion years , and the repayment is terrible , as are all the mothers areoun this is a very very decent pizza fix. I use the nan from frozen and don't dilly or dilly w the toppings to the nan-is becomes cracker like. ingredients always available , shichight n to ge s good think but better than frozen , but a ways from Pepe's , New Haven.

@liamsaunt thank you for taking us along. and thank you for the menus.
-
@Maison Rustique I think Brita filters remove more than chlorine I use the filters to remove calcium , and I use test strips to check raw results. Ca is removed.

use a sturdy microwave ' cover ' when micro'ing.

@Duvel what a wonderful trip. Tent-less. if you are able , can you take a few more inside pics of where you are staying esp. the kitchen and kitchen stuff that went with it . touchy question these day did you bring a few of your knives -
@Smithy \ fantastic. Ill await your review , w possibly a few pics . their was a video on Amazon , someone taking it out of the box , showing it working. it must have been used a while ( fine ) but it wasn't ' buffed ' up this sort if item has its standards. my plastic does get taken care off . its one level below an item that asks for buffing , from the to time well worth doing.

@liamsaunt looks like a wonderful dinner Ive only had the deep fried version of S&P squid readily available locally in Chinese restaurants , inc Chinatown rest. where very little english is spoken its one of my favorite dishes . Im guessing you have had that version how did the non fried dish compare ?
-
@&roid and @blue_dolphin Boooo ! Boooooo! enablers ! my scale is working well. $ 19.95 BB&B with the obligatory 20 % off coupon $ 16 or so. this one is talking to me ....

I found this helpful : https://www.amazon.com/James-Joyces-Ulysses-Stuart-Gilbert/dp/0394700139 and , after half a doz. Imperial pints of Guiness you can pretend to have read this : https://www.amazon.com/FINNEGANS-WAKE-James-Joyce-ebook/dp/B09WYQ76CQ?ref_=ast_author_dp&dib=eyJ2IjoiMSJ9.whzHga2Tn67xiHwXf4C298McK5UALW-2qwELDqjBDrn5ExW9MzngM_310LggzllbYhePkvnBZkmBM3rFNYlnMa5LXVy5u0K-qEqSQlUOgFeljqSNTS6BHe4l3RAXzDoSf1mscstUox1mE3um2pHOjmHNfs5wPj2qKJNH-i7kgS_01est1t7wJjskwsKckVZ341d2m3J2SBIRDqBK_i74W6D_4T5_zQbWzPfqeHKClz4.JRCzYlALLRtOSiAclckp0UnW8ckirIu1KD-bB2A-ZpA&dib_tag=AUTHOR then more Guiness , just in case. -
@YvetteMT I like your plan. do you mix in the wrapping Jus if you ' pull apart ' after the rest ? love to see your results.

has anyone tried the various cuts of beef @ TJ's ? I currently eat very little beef. but I very much love the flavor of a ' fine cut ' treated accordingly , looking for good beef flavor cooked to desired doneness. I may get something , and more or less SV it to rare reverse sear and see. some of the beef , possible grass fed might be from australia , no matter but a good deal of the beef thet i used to glaze at was Vac's and east sigh had a strategic label preventing you from seeing any marbling or not. thanks
-
@@YvetteMT thank you for those pics. feel free to keep them coming . addendum : at what temp do you wrap ? Ive heard reasons for one end of the bell and the other: using internal temps as guides : earlier wrapping preserves moisture later wrapping improves bark and the effects of The Stall enter into choices of course. your thoughts ?
-
@MetsFan5 you bet. no pan fiddling , or much fiddling along. do you have an air fryer ? another approach , no fiddling. try a ' set ' min an AF from frozen . been looking at those packs of chicken sausage @ TJ's , or similar-ish style in supermarkets ? AF a pack , from hard frozen , braking off each so that they tray-out as individuals. start from frozen , 400F no preheat , check when you can't stand it any more. around 12 min , rough est very interesting results.
-
@weinoo Im also keen to hear about your results. sounds like a very interesting project to try. Ive noticed that at a local chain , they had Patak brand ' indian pastes ' w a bundle of dried spices. has anyone tried that ' style ' of blends from starting w remeasured dried spices ?
-
please also remember : their are Cups and cups, and many other volume measures. if you get a Japanese RC , the markings on the cooking container are probably Japanese cups. thus , keep the plastic volume measuring unit the manufacture' included w the RC. Loose it ? #$%)&@#)%&+)#&%@#&% !! not really : use your own volume device , and use that same system for the water volume measurement. its simpler than it reads.: you are creating a rice//water ratio without thinking too hard about ir.
