  5. inspired by @Kim Shook , above I had this for an early dinner : same Tjj's salmon , drained . low-fat yogurt , window green onions . I don't have cream cheese , nor did I have a bagel this was quite good. its a keeper esp for the summer , w the heat and humidity .

    @Kim Shook everything looks great ! sorry the steaks were so disappointing . but the Company was outstanding , though .
  7. I decided to stock up : over on the dinner thread https://forums.egullet.org/topic/164739-dinner-2023/page/173/#comment-2408832 I used this paste for the first time. the results , as mentioned were interesting , but need adjustments so , I stocked up. and , get this : its authentic tikka ! from India ! can't get more authentic than that . anyway , try it , you might like it. BTW it has a interesting ingredient list : ground watermelon seeds . don't see that every day . P.S.: manufactured 5/15/23 good to 5/16/24

    continuing my 8 x 8 studies : Turkey Slab w TJ's Tikka Masala : mise : the TJ's Tikka is an 8 oz paste 350 F 30 min , rested , refrigerated : plop the turkey slab in the 8 x 8 , cover w the Tikka packet , bake not looking appetizing at all. sectioned continuers to look questionable . the TJ's Tikka is very tasty . plenty of spice . some after glow, not hot I like it a lot. interesting info on the packet : manufactured 1 March 23 , good until June ' 24 . ive had it for several month waiting for a call-up. Ill be stoicking up , as TJ's loves to D/C items I like. the above is not ' saucy ' final plate : the usual LP iPot veg , Tj's dried green chili flakes , EVOO from Tj's ( not this stuff : https://www.nytimes.com/2023/12/04/world/europe/olive-oil-fraud-italy-spain.html?searchResultPosition=1 ) Campari tomats , window green onions. the turkey was nicely cooked , but Tikka , which had very good Indian-Rsh flavor and aroma was not saucy . Saucy for certain categories of Indian Cuisine , makes those dishes I have ideas about solving that , next time : two packets of Tj's Tikka , one can NoSalt Campells cream of mushroom soup are initial ideas . a good initial trial Id say . for me.
  13. when Wagman's moved into my area several years ago at a very near Mall , it had a double decker store it took over the years ago defunct JCPenny's it had a food cart escalator , etc it was relatively expensive , but it had a coupon book sent to residents week by week, it had very good meat , vac'd in 4 packs . if you used your coupon and looked over the packs ( there were many // cut ) you could find a well marbled pack that ended up being good value and w the marbling you picked , much better than other local procurement. not sure how that sort of deal works these days or how it compares w your local butcher in NYC. the double decker store closed early this year.
  14. from the above ; '' Nearly 7% of self-checkout transactions (6.7% ) had at least some amount of partial shrink compared to 0.32% with cashiers. On a revenue basis, the analysis suggested a shrink rate of 3.5% for self-checkout machines versus only 0.21% for conventional cashiers ''' ''' self-checkout accounted for just under 30% of total transactions in 2022. Based on a market size of nearly $1 trillion and a partial shrink rate of 3.5%, self-checkout machines cost food retailers more than $10 billion in lost profits annually, '''
  15. @Steve Irby that Turchetta looks fabulous.
  16. @Tropicalsenior as its been said on eG : Id stand in line for those by gravy for Char Siu bao do you mean a hoisin based sauce ? do you add various bao ' shrubbery ? ' ie fresh green stuff ?
  17. @lindag they are yet they are taster roasted than squirrels .
  18. Technivorm usually wins the highest ratings for Auto-Drip systems as its water temp for the brewing is higher than others ,, and at the correct temp for proper extraction. as previously mentioned , it is also the best looking . get the version w the insulated carafe

    @gfweb I ageee with you there are known additives to commercial egg laying hens that color the yolks . the hen w the albino yolk very rare from my life time analysis of commercial eggs must have been very very ' picky ' w her diet or I think might have an allele that prevented coloring. who knows , I do know Ill never see one again.

    @Kim Shook those Kringles are amazing in a TJ's thread I think it was mentioned that Tj's caries possible 4 , each at a different time of the year. the pecan version is outstanding . , as I like pecans

    scrambled eggs : first albino yolk Ive ever seen. Market Basket generic large eggs . tasted exactly the same as generic pigmented like scrambled eggs .
  23. if looks like a ' tender ' deer why not try to keep the rib eye whole vac pack a few roasts , then SV later after Fz ? easy for me to say , of course.
  24. I thought of skit initially the the pictured meat is too wide for either of the two skirts. for now , Im going w @Duvel take. its worth noting , that in Europe , the butchering that Ive seen there is quite different than the USA. USA slices through hunks of meat , thus the fibers that you see on the cut meat not not perpendicular to the cut , but at 90 degrees. the european cuts Ive seen , the fibers are parallel to the hunk. and exception would be in the USA to a whole flank , as seen on the posted pic.
