The Land-o-Lakes was salted. I was comparing salted to unsalted, my assumption was that both salted butters would taste the same but I haven't tried them side by side.

I've been buying my butter from Costco for many years, always unsalted for baking. Recently I had a revelation! I was low on butter so I picked up some Land-o-Lakes and added a cube to my butter dish. I was stunned when I spread some on my toasted bagel, it was SO GOOD! I never new there was such a difference. I'll continue using Kirkland butter but now I'll buy both types; one for cooking and one for spreading.

I'm just now seeing fresh Hatch Chiles in my nearby supermarket. I've never cooked with them but I'm ready to try.

I broil mine, flesh side up for about 4-5 minutes. Sometimes I brush it with Soy-Vay. The skin peels right off.

This is one of my favorites for the Ninja. I grill mine on the lowest setting and brush with Bull's Eye toward the end of cooking. Super good. Has to be thighs for me too.

I use it mostly for grilling. To air-fry I spray on a little olive oil, not Pam which they don't recommend saying it will get sticky..

Hear, hear!

@KennethTThat could be the issue, all my AC is stainless and it works fine.

@Indirect HeatMy All-Clad works perfectly on my GE Cafe range as does all of my cast iron. Maybe it's not the cookware?

I'm a fan of summertime Gin & Tonics too. However, I've never found a diet tonic that didn't spoil the drink. What do you use?

In my newly built house I put quartz on all the counters. It came from a Canadian company whose name I don't know. It's white with a touch of light grey veining. Quite nice and I like it better than the CaeserStone and the granite I've used in the past.

WHAT!?????

I like to use the cream cheese spread on Ritz along with red pepper jelly.

My friend brought me a small loaf of Rhubarb Bread yesterday; I'd never had that before and couldn't believe how good it was. She shared the recipe with me and I picked up some very nice fresh rhubab at WinCo. If you can still get your hands on some rhubarb I can guarantee you will love this recipe: https://www.allrecipes.com/recipe/17970/rhubarb-bread-i/ Note: She uses buttermilk instead of the milk/lemon juice.

I've tried several of the quiche recipes and all were quite easy as well as tasty.

thanks for my first laugh of the day. You never fail to amuse even in the worst of circumstances. That description was perfect.

Your beef and cabbage recipe really speaks to me, I’ll definitely try that.

Whoa! She has her own pizza boxes too?!

yesterday when I was making my sloppy joe recipe and needed to measure out 2/3 cup of ketchup, I had to take the cap off the bottom of the container in order to squeeze out anything more than a teaspoon. Since they still make the bottled version I think I'll choose that next time.

Clearly that was a smart decision.

I don't t remember which season it was but the episode with the shaving of the head was the ultimate of stupidity and I hope those who instigated it will bear the shame for a long time.

No label. I think what I did was vacuum it foolishly thinking it would get used soon and I would remember what it was....chuckle. chuckle. Lord knows it's not the first time I've done this. The important thing is that it turned out really good; I did up the seasoning a bit.

Let me preface my question with information that I very rarely cook with ground pork (lest you think I’m I’m incredibly stupid). I took a package of ground meat out of the freezer believing it was ground beef. As I cooked it I noticed it smelled and looked different. I’m pretty darned sure now It was was pork. I was making it into a homemade sloppy joe mix in my crockpot (it’s over 100F Here this week)/ Question: is this going to be really awful?

Or dropping fly parts into the stew!
