I've never been entirely happy with any of my bread recipes that were baked in the machine. I much prefer to use the dough setting and bake in n the oven.

Giant enabler alert! I have one of these in my cart.

I was surprised at the price of Everclear when I shopped for it around the holidays. IIRC it was in the neighborhood of $35 for a 1.75 liter bottle.

Smirnoff is pretty much my 'eveerday' vodka. It's reasonably priced at state-owned liquor stores. My elevated choice is Absolut.

Those are some great prices!

May not be the right size for you but I use paper towel cores.

I don't mind. It's just been a while now and I'm all fished up. I'd like something different. My one complaint with them, however, would be the odd cuts of the fish. Not presentation worthy.

I just placed my first order with Wild Fork (having terminated my Wild Alaska subscription). Because of my location, the shipping is a bit steep, so this will be a good test to see if it's a viable option for me in the future. Their stuff really looks good.

Too late or too much Smirnoff?

I made this recipe from ATK's website night before last. While it was good, I found it a bit bland. With plenty of leftovers to work with last night I added another recipe's worth of the sauce as well as a couple big tablespoons of chili garlic sauce(there were lots of noodles to work with). Really much better the second time around and I'll make the recipe again now. (I do like quite a bit of spice.)

In parts of the West it's Fred Meyer.

They just use the regular store-bought stuff. I'm not an insider there so not privy to the details.

Wow! I can't believe I missed that. Thanks for pointing it out. If you do the air fryer method please fill us in.

I'm so intrigued by this recipe. It sounds fantastic if a little labor-intensive for the likes of me. Is it as good as it looks?

Breakfast today: thick-sliced jalapeno bacon cooked in the oven, yeast waffles and Mrs. Butterworth's Original syrup with poached eggs on top. Turned out great. First waffles made with my brand new Cuisinart waffle maker.; not quite crispy enough but will be better next time.

The church brisket that's done here in town is made and then slathered with a mix of mustard and brown sugar and wrapped in foil then put in very slow oven. While it's the best by far that I've ever had it doesn't seen like that's the flavor you're looking for.

I have used a couple of these for a very long time: https://www.amazon.com/Evolutions-Bread-Artisan-Breads-Dutch-Oven-ebook/dp/B09TNLGJ55/ref=tmm_kin_swatch_0?_encoding=UTF8&qid=&sr= The only good thing about them is that they're cheap. The worst thing is that (since I store my oils in them, they are always slippery even when you wipe them down before and after use. Now there's a bottle that's worth taking home: The Oxo squeeze bottle! No leaking. Comes in different sizes.

picked up today: Ken Forkish' Evolutions in Bread from Amazon Kindle.

Thanks for all the ideas! I'm gonna start with grits! I'd never even considered that but I think it just might be what I'm looking for.

Even though winter is winding down I'd still like to have a recipe for hot cereal I could whip together on a chilly morning. I've never liked oatmeal or cream of wheat of Malto-Meal despite my mother's efforts. But there must be a savory recipe for something similar that I could like. Someone posted about just such a thing here a while back but I cannot find that now. Got any ideas? I'd love to hear about them.

Outstanding photo!

Our local Catholic church does Fish Fries on Friday during Lent. The K of C men do all the cooking, prep and cleanup, bless their hearts. They've been at it so long that they really know their stuff. The meals they make include, fish fillets, cold slaw, rolls, waffle fries along with veverages and dessert. And, the green beans which are like none I've ever had. I suspect their recipes goes something like this: 3-4 cups green beans cooked and cut into 1-inch pieces ¼ co butter, melted ½ cup brown sugar ¼ soy sauce I'd never had sweet green beans before but love them now. I suspect this might be kind of a Southern recipe.

I have one very pretty one which I never use. i much prefer silicone spoons or metal. To me the wooden ones are too thick and requite too much hands-on care.

Oddly enough I was just looking thru Amazon this morning in search of a small waffle iron, suitable for one person. I decided on this one which will be winging its way to me for Thursday delivevey. KAF has a yeasted Belgian waffle recipe I want to try Recipe
