Just re-reading from this older post and you mentioned the Bosch and wine glasses. Does anyone know if there's a way to remove the wine glass fold-down holder on the right side top rack? I don't use long stem wine glasses and those holder are just in the way and take up room.

How perfectly organized!

When I purchased my present home a bit over 2 years ago it was barely framed up. The house plan had an extra deep garage with space for a workshop in the back (it's in a 55+ community). I had them add that space to the kitchen to which it was connected, giving me 300 more square feet so I could add a massive pantry; one of my best ever decisions. I never thought I'd want to build before but it was a really exciting experience. Of course, because of covid, it was also supremely frustrating at times.

If it came from my freezer to my fridge I wouldn't be overly concerned but I keep both at super-cold temperatures...the lowest I can set them; I think -4 in the freezer and 34 in the fridge. So I guess a lot depends on that.

Foodsavers do a wonderful job of preserving frozen veg.

So, if the battery dies, you can still operate the device but can't use the timer, is that it? BTW, there is a YouTube video showing how to replace the battery, but, to me anyway, that process is extremely daunting.

Can the battery be replaced?

As does @weinoo, I have a Zo rice cooker. Mine is induction. Makes the BEST rice ever, any kind. Never had a batch that didn't turn out perfectly! And, I use it all the time. One thing my model doesn't have which my previous Zo did have is a retractable cord...a very nice option.

Shrimp Louie is often my go-to when I’m out ideas or inspiration. I keep salad shrimp in the freezer at all times so it’s easy to do.

Mincing/dicing garlic is always tedious for me. So, I recently got this little item from Amazon which has made my life a lot easier...did I mention that I don't like mincing garlic? I'm quite impressed with my purchase. clickety

I use one of these and it works quite well (and it's cheap).

On Fridays during Lent our neighborhood Catholic church does a fish fry. It's really done well with cod, coleslaw, mac and chees and green beans. The beans are some like I'd never had before, they're slightly sweet and very tasty. Well, googled some recipes and it seems they're like these.

Since I got my new burr grinder, I've been trying a whole range of coffee beans. I know some of you do your own roasting or buy from a nearby roaster but that is not an option here. What I did find was a wonderful dark roast bean that I like very much. Raven's Brew Wicked Wolf. If you buy your beans you should definitely give this brand a try.

I always use Rao's, it's the best. However, here, it's now $10.66 a jar here.

@weinooMy Cuisinart FP does a great (!) job grating parm with the medium grating blade...it may be just a little coarser than your picture above. I considered getting the fine grating disc but thought the results would be just too fine. BTW, Ina Garten grinds her parm in her FP using the blade.

MY new Oxo grater has a much sturdier handle than the one that got broken.

that Westmark looks very much like the Mouli I used to own. Have you looked at the Zyliss rotary grater?

I usually just grate it in my FP....fast and easy.

Don't know that this one is new but the same thing happened to me a couple weeks ago and I had to replace my old microplane. I do not like box graters.

Love their beans, spicy coleslaw, brisket, spicy pickles and just about everything else they make. It's used to be must-stop for out-of-towners from the Seattle area (before they got their own).

I came across this recipe in my mail this morning: Do Noting Sourdough Bread I'm mixing it up today for baking tomorrow!

I agree with you about the beans...thy're the best part of chili.

No exactly. I was looking for anew saucepan and decided to order one from 'made in'. Then I checked CI and read that their tests revealed warping. I have an induction range and a warped pan would make me crazy. I bought AC instead.
