I got an email from Milk Street telling me that the new show was to air on Saturday. Well, as usual, I checked the channel listing for our PBS and no Milk Street to be found. We still haven't got the first 'new' season of ATK that was shown elsewhere last year! Living in a low population, semi rural area Is often like stepping backward in time (although this is sometimes an advantage).

In your hot and steamy weather, how is it you are able to store things like crackers without them going stale?

You mean they don't ship here? That seems odd. But I've run into other products that don't ship to low populated areas.

Gosh, you must've bought it all, it's no longer available!

Love a doctor with a sense of humor and a quick wit

I think what should be done is to use parchment instead of cloth. I agree that it is confusing because it's said they bake it in a cloth. I wouldn't do that.

Yeah, but your're an overachiever. I'm a bit of a slacker.

I hope your new sink is an undermount. IMO, the only kind to buy.

I actually had some Best Foods mayo go 'funny' because I stored it too long (even though it was in the second fridge). It sort of separated; though it still tasted fine. Now I don't stock up, though I do keep a spare in the other fridge. In a climate like yours I'd be afraid it's go bad if you didn't use it up pretty quickly.

People here often complain about that happening at Costco stores.

Yes...that's what I've been told. Mine are both manual, of course the side by side is frost free.

I had never heard of the guy.

I agree with you there. I remember telling someone that I'd almost choose my disposer over my d/w if I had to choose....but I don't want to choose. When I didn't have a disposer how I hated bagging up that wet icky stuff. And I don't like putting anything stinky into my kitchen trash, so I take it out to the big garbage trolley.

And did you need to cover it for part of the time to avoid over-browning?

Is yours a frost free model?

Did you 'steam bake' that lovely loaf?

Thanks for this wonderful story, so well told!

Yep. My dream kitchen would have that same stove!

I have to say I was delighted to see that now I can get from WF/Amazon. Spaghettios!!! Ackkkk!

If you have a low tolerance for nauseating stories read no further... Dh and scheduled a kitchen remodel and then went on vacation. Said remodel was supposed to be done by the time we got back. We arrived home the evening as scheduled to find the water shut off (because there was a plumbing problem not yet fixed) and to find the downstairs toilet completely filled up!!! I'm sure the guys got a really big hoot out of outdoing each other. needless to say my DH ripped them a new one the next day. They did finish after a couple weeks delay and the job was done well but the memory is seared into my brain.

I'm continuously amazed at just how expensive faucets have become. However, at least the better ones now seem to have lifetime guarantees. I discovered this when I had issues both with my Moen soap dispenser and with my Blanco kitchen faucet. In both cases the replacement parts were sent free of charge, no questions asked. I was impressed.

I'm eager to see your new sink since we had discussed that previously here. And I can only hope you don't experience any of the remodel horrors that some of us have endured.

How funny! I think I have the very same little manual tucked away in a bookshelf. I, too, found those recipes useful and have kept it all this time while most other manuals have long ago been tossed.

No. Six PCs, only one is an IP.

I keep thinking I really need another Ipot (the 3 qt. model) but I'm trying to resist since I already own several (6) PCs.
