A big pot of my version of caldo verde on the stove

I have two sizes of those citrus squeezers. One for lemons and limes and one for oranges. Plus two old style crank down juicers

My hummus always freezes well. When thawed will need some stirring to smooth it out.

Beautiful. Happy Anniversary Ann. Little over 2 yrs for us to hit that mile stone. l

Some of my unusual kitchen tools Hemostats are great for removing fish bones

Or from shredded potatoes

The eggs look fantastic and I like a bit of char as well

I think that speaks volumes

The new one did not come with a new sealing bar. Obviously the manufacturers don’t think that could be one of the issues

New one arrived and not able to produce a reliable seal. Just trying to seal a bag of shelled walnuts that occupy 1/3 of the bag. It shouldn’t be that difficult

Just became the owner of a VP112S. New one in route. No setting would produce a complete seal. Either not enough and air intrusion or so deep of a burn it leaked. Spent the afternoon on the phone with a nice fellow at Vacmaster but in the end no resolution. Sure hope the replacement has a long life with the minimal use it will see

Expectations are everything

Looks amazing Paul

None here. Sounds like a good combination

Corn was always a treat as a kid. Eaten off the cob in a bathing suit in the yard not a big fan of canned but frozen is ok by me. Not like fresh where to kennels are plump and bursting with juice and flavor but in many cooking applications more than adequate

You sure know how to feed a craving Ann_T. Looks fabulous

I always put a little oil in a cast iron pan no matter what else is going in even if it’s just a thin film

@shain the lima beans look delicious but those potatoes look amazing.

Flip’em

It’s interesting that one can come close to duplicating something that took years to make in the lab Call me old fashion but there is something I like about the time honored process of distilling and aging in wood and the chemical reactions that occur in the barrel. Two barrels lying next to each other in the rickhouse with the same distillate barreled at the same time can be so different. Yet the position in a rickhouse can in itself create a significant difference if it’s a multilevel structure due to temperature differences. Just like people, I like diversity

I grew up with both sides of my family living in Macon Ga and Jacksonville before moving to Tampa. Grandparents immigrated from Syria and Turkey Cornbread I grew up with was a tad on the sweet side.

My kinda breakfast. The toast is the Achilles heal for me. A weakness for sure

From one carb lover to another 💓

Simple roast chicken is always a treat. Like to add potatoes in the roasting pan to cook in the chicken fat. Here a shot of a chicken from last Mother’s Day.

Stopped of at Jakes in Bardstown Ky before doing barrel picking back in March. Known for their sausage biscuits Evidently Food and Wine likes them too https://www.foodandwine.com/travel/gas-station-sausage-kentucky
