I reallly don't think that matters, my previous model didn't have that either but made perfect Jasmine rice on the 'white' setting.

Jasmine

I'm cooking up a batch of Jasmine rice today in my Zo in anticipation of making shrimp fried rice tomorrow.

Check your PMs.

My new guilty secret is Troyer Pimento Cheese Spread that I buy at the nearby Amish market. I knew nothing about pimiento* cheese until eG. Now I can't live without the stuff. Especially good on Ritz Everything crackers. The best thing about this brand is that it's easily spreadable right out of the fridge.

I don't even like to think about the print on medicine bottles.

Does it cost more to print darker? More ink maybe?

My big issue is that with AMD I cannot see very well. I have to use a magnifier for reading. It's so frustrating, my cursing has increased. And, what's with the small and light-colored print on everything?! Shit!

And if the price weren't enough of a deterrent, my research said that repairs were a frequent problem. Where I live? Ha! I could see myself without refrigeration for a very long time.

When I was designing my new kitchen I wanted a counter depth fridge. However, I discovered that in order to get enough space in it I’d have to go with something like a subzero which would’ve run me about $10,000. I decided against that and got a GE café French door fridge which is great and really doesn’t stick out all that much and is not not really noticeable

Nice rise.

I’m betting that the no scorch is just not needed any longer

I would absolutely cook them

Your new kitchen is just lovely! I love the bright white. I know it will be thrilling when it's all ready for you to cook.

What can you tell us about the umami setting? How is the rice different?

Thanks for the recommendation, I just ordered my own copy. And, thanks to @blue_dolphinfor the Thriftboopks recommendation too!

I recently upgraded my coffee setup from the pod System to the poor over method. The coffee is excellent and the preparation takes all of about five minutes. I’m so glad I switched.

What a good idea!

Here's the recipe I've been using: Mint Mojito Serves 1 Cool off with this easy mojito recipe! Made with rum, lime juice, simple syrup, and fresh mint, this refreshing cocktail is perfect for summer. Ingredients 5 mint leaves, more for garnish 2 ounces white rum 1 ounce fresh lime juice ½ ounce simple syrup Ice Club soda or sparkling water Lime slices, for garnish Instructions Lightly muddle the mint in the bottom of a cocktail shaker until aromatic. Add the rum, lime juice, simple syrup, a handful of ice and shake. Strain into a glass filled with ice. Top with a splash of club soda and garnish with lime slices and more mint. And here's another: The Real Mojito This is an authentic recipe for mojito. I sized the recipe for one serving, but you can adjust it accordingly and make a pitcher full. It's a very refreshing drink for hot summer days. Be careful when drinking it, however. If you make a pitcher you might be tempted to drink the whole thing yourself, and you just might find yourself talking Spanish in no time! Yield:1 cocktail 10 fresh mint leaves ½ medium lime, cut into 3 wedges, divided 2 tablespoons white sugar, or to taste 1 cup ice cubes, or as needed 1 ½ fluid ounces white rum ½ cup club soda, or as needed Place mint leaves and 1 lime wedge into a sturdy glass. Use a muddler and crush to release mint oils and lime juice. Step 2 Add remaining lime wedges and 2 tablespoons sugar, and muddle again to release the lime juice. Do not strain the mixture. Step 3 Fill the glass almost to the top with ice. Pour in rum and fill the glass with club soda. Step 4 Stir, taste, and add more sugar if desired.

My newest cocktail obsession is the Mojito. Simple and light yet tasty. I like that it takes just a few ordinary ingredients. Cocktail hour, here I come.

Recipe?

Watched an episode of cooks country today where they made homemade Spoetzl. In looking back through old threads I see some mention of German style Spaetzle. So is it worth it to make it at home? What should I look for commercially prepared Spoetzl places online?

The writers who created 'Mike' and 'Nacho' and 'Charles', as well as 'Slippin' Jimmy' just blow me away!!!

I just did a search for 'rice' and found @weinoo's post about 'Seductions of Rice' and about rice storage. I ordered a copy of the book from Thriftbooks aofr $6.99, pretty good price. My storage of rice is now in Foodsaver bags, which works pretty well. We now have a small Asian grocery store here which makes it nice for finding unusual ingredients now found in the usual stores. I really like the idea of using canning jars for rice storage and will start with the extra jars and lids that I already have taking up space. I'm keen to have the book to find new types and ways of cooking rice.
