I know...lt's just me, but you couldn't pay me enough to eat candy corn! It tastes like candle wax.

There's a reason that Ritz crackers have been around for nearly 90 years. I particularly love the 'Everything' variety.

Actually, I have a large wedge of PR residing in the fridge for far too long that like to grate up before it becomes concrete. I'm pretty sure I own the fine disc that @JoNorvelleWalkermentioned upthread. The consistency I'm after would be like that which @blue_dolphin described as 'feathery'. I'll see if I can find that grating disc and do a test drive.

Yeah, I have several grating disks but I'm not sure if it's wise (given how hard the cheese is) or if it yields the right texture. Ina Garten grinds hers in the Cuisiinart and I generally take my cues from her.

Can anyone here tell me how best to grate (no grind) parmesan in the FP? Is is possible?

Definitely my kind of place. Wish I was there.

Ooni now makes an indoor model. See it here.

Anyone here own one? With Fall coming I'm tempted to buy one but there are a whole lot of options and prices. The Breville and the Ooni appear to be the top-of-line models and are pretty pricey. And then there are many other brands and designs.

Let's try it. Hold My Beer.

This is mine. Not a salt 'pig' but with its lid it saves me having to clean up the salt spilled wen I knock over the container. These comes in sets of various sizes, often the lids are sold separately. Useful for many things.

What? Learn about it here. i had to try it.

I have a rather large stockpile of dried beans in my pantry. I'll make it my job to sort through those in dispose of any that seem to have reached their end. Anymore it seems that canned beans are preferred and I plan to be a little more selective when buying. There really aren't a lot that I need to keep on hand anyway these days.

Oh geez...now I really have to try this.

It is HO(T here today so I'm enjoying a dish of Creamsicle (I confess that I have never know how to spell this) orange sherbet.

I'll be quite interested in your take on the NY Steaks once you've had the opportunity to try them I've had my eye on those for a while.

I have the Fellowes and, indeed, it is cool looking. It is white and is stunning sitting next to my Fellowes burr grinder. (That grinder is the best!)

My wish when designing my current kitchen was to have a full size refrigerator next to a full size freezer...ala Subzero. Hideously expensive and prone to pricey repairs (if one could get proper service done in MT). So I still have the French door fridge in the kitchen along with two upright freezers and a fridge-only unit in the garage. Not ideal and I don't like schlepping in and out to get items from the garage.

If my Mom were still here, she'd be looking for pieces of liver.

Nah. I just have less patience.

I particularly dislike grating cheese by hand. I'll happily hand wash every part of my 7-cup Cuisinart to avoid doing it.

I posted a while ago somewhere here about my new laundry pair. After having used an LG washer and dryer some time ago at a vacation rental I was keen to purchase that brand to replace my 17 y/ Kenmore Elite set. Finally got them installed (it took a while since the delivery guys can't hook up gas appliances and my dryer is gas). Beautiful...Love all the new bells and whistles now. Steam in the wash and the dryer too! All kinds of options for water temp, length of time, speed, etc. I'm checking everywhere to find more items to wash! Never thought that would ever happen! Top load washer for me, I didn't care for the front loaders. Top loader with impeller for me Gas dryer with steam

Prices today are shocking. Looking at melon prices here and I see nearly $9.00 each !!! Eek! I'm of the 'get off my lawn' ilk also and remember when they were 39 cents* each. Unfreakingbelivable. (Many of us can remember when the cent sign was still available on our keyboards.)
