  1. I own the induction model, I replaced the previous Zo I had with it because my hubby loved steel cut oats and the induction model could make that. both are wonderful. I gifted my first one to a dear friend. Unless you want to make porridge you can't go wrong with the one on the right, both make flawless rice every time. Idiot proof! Additionally, my induction model seems to have been discontinued now but I paid $283 severa years ago. The other one is actually less now than what I paid. Be aware though that they all have a pretty large footprint.
  2. Our little (Hutterite) farmers' market is winding down now. Not much left. I did buy some garlic and some canned corn and a lovely buttercup squash. I'll miss all those beautiful vegetables they had.
  3. (said by someone who despises peas)
  4. Odd. The liquor stores hereabouts are all well-stocked.

    Dinner 2021

    Whoa. Had to look that one up. Love it.
  6. @ElsieD My test is about complete although I'm still holding onto my herbs. After two weeks of storing my thyme, sage and parsley in my vacuum food containers both are looking as fresh as when they went in. I've yet to try some of the other herbs but so far I'm really impressed. These were wrapped in a damp paper towel and then placed into the container and vacuumed. I've long been a big fan of vacuum food storage and this brand has ben overall the very best. I tried growing herbs at home but generally they go bust when I need them the most, as in fall and winter. Now I buy fresh and store them this way. I will try some of the others and report back.
  7. I've discovered Absolut Peppar; it makes the most amazing Bloody Mary, or, for me, Clam Digger.
  8. Somehow I missed that a first reading. Utterly tasteless as well as insulting.
  9. I watched "Roadrunner" yesterday (how could I not?) I must say I enjoyed it even though it was heart wrenching. When asked about the suicide, Eric Ripert said it was something he couldn't talk about. Newsweek photo and story(ies).
  10. I used to enjoy the occasional glass of Cold Duck (Andre) but in the last couple of years it has disappeared from the shelves around here. I have switched to Spumante.
  11. I've been using this recipe for the last few years. So easy to make in the bread machine. I skip the rolling out of the dough and simply put all the ingredients into the bucket and let her rip. The bread is fantastic, the best I've ever had.
  12. I have tried various methods as well....mostly the ones you've mentioned. I've bought containers that go in the fridge with water in the bottom, nothing worked well enough to satisfy me. The current method I'm using is to put them in a Foodsaver container, I'm told they last weeks that way. Right now I'm testing that theory. I'll let you know how well it works.

    Breakfast 2021

    Have you tried the bacon flavored vodka?
  14. I keep my spuds in a specially made burlap sack out in the garage (bought from Amazon). Every once in a while one on the bottom goes bad - a smell to make one gag.
  15. that's why I went for the F Blumlein https://fblumlein.com/collections/steam-oven/products/ju-3200
  16. Pain meds do that.
  17. No. I’ll be adding the Hatch peppers roasted in the Ninja into the Italian sausages.
  18. I’ve been re-reading “kitchen Confidential” and “Medium Raw” now. Several references to depression and suicide. How I wish someone could have stopped him. It’s like I so wish I could have known him and yet I know he was a very very complicated man. Maybe what happened was inevitable. There most certainly were demons involved.
  19. Tonight’s dinner will be Hot Italian sausage with pepper and onions and tomatoes. I’ll roast a few of my Hatch peppers on the Ninja grill and toss them in as a test.
  20. Cooked a 3/4" pork chop in the Ninja for about ten minutes on the second highest setting. Excellent! Tender and juicy. Baked potato and fresh corn sauteed in butter.
  21. @mgaretz Have you tried grilling pork yet? I went to the nearby meat packing shop yesterday and got some beautiful loin chops. I plan to cook them on the grill. I'm just not sure which temperature setting to use. We have a Hutterite farmers market here in town on Saturdays where I got some super fresh corn and beefsteak tomatoes.
  22. I’ve been streaming “Parts Unknown” the last few days. today was Quebec and Montreal; it was wonderful. Now I want to visit Montreal.
  23. Okay, I’ve never understood the rule that you cool down cooked foods before refrigeration. I do it all the time so I don’t forget and leave it on the counter overnight. ‘Why is this a rule?
