An acquaintance is building a new home here and was told the wait for a bathtub was six months.

Interesting! My Mom always would respond, “I’m as old as my little finger.”

So are you the guy who cooks fish in the office microwave?

Local appliance dealer in Missoula. Note: I don’t see any freezers offered at their website.

I recently bought an entire kitchen's worth of appliances (five in all) and had no problems whatsoever. I'm guessing that most were shipped out of Seattle. Maybe it depends on where you live.

I have a Subway about a mile from my house and I'll order ahead and get an occasional sandwich, usually in the summertime when I'm looking for a quick lunch. I have no complaints about the bread or the sandwiches as a whole. I've tried the sandwiches from the deli counter at my nearby grocery store and they are not nearly as good as Subway's. My most recent favorite is their steak and cheese on honey oat bread. Clearly YMMV.

I made this recipe for Apple Cinnamon Bread yesterday. I didn't think to take a photo but it looked a lot like the picture shown and it was amazingly good. Tastes like Fall!

I've owned my Bamix for at least 15 years now. Granted, it doesn't get a whole lot of use. I do wish the stick were removable so it could go in the d/w though. Another thing I like about it is that it came with a mounting plate that allows me to hang it inside a cabinet for easy storage and access.

I have to say that one of the few highlights of this Covid time has been the increased frequency of @weinoos humorous postings .

As was mentioned by @ambrain an earlier post here I like to browse for interesting recipes and will often stumble onto something that piques my interest and makes me want to whip up a good looking dish or two.

Eve n though I vowed not to buy any more stuff until after my move I caved when I saw the Jefferey Zakarian 10.5” cast iron pan. Cooked my fried eggs and hash browns in it this morning. Really nice non-stick. It comes with the silicone trivet shown here. And it fits inside my CSO! (purchased from QVC.)

I use one of these for the occasional need of a light for candles .

Things are shaping up now. The tile is done in the bathrooms, the fireplace is ready for grouting and the wood flooring will go in next week. The cabinetry is getting finished up too. By next week I should be able to start taking some photos. The move-in date is now approximately October 1 but I'm pushing the contractor who is pushing the subs. We'll see. It certainly has been an education.

I think I was a target of that one as well. I really appreciate @Smithy's gentle hand.

Yesterday was my day to host our card game. I served a fruit tray with watermelon, grapes, jicama, cantaloupe,. A tray of crackers and cheese. And, the star of the show was KAF Blueberry Crisp with vanilla ice cream for dessert.

I've been a fan since the very beginning and I continue to this day. I watch every episode and subscribe to their web-magazines. ATK and CC are still my favorite cooking shows. Don't get the print magazines anymore though.

They do?

Unfortunately they’re very hard to find around here.

OMG! I want 200 boxes.

I don't remember how either but I do remember it was a post by @Fat Guy that got me hooked.

I especially like the Philly whipped cream cheese with chive and onion on toasted bagels.

When we were kids my brother loved canned spinach (no such thing as fresh in those days); to me that stuff was disgusting and slimy. Maybe it was a Popeye thing.

Me too. Most recently in a broccoli salad.

I have neuropathy in my hands and feet (mostly in the feet) from chemotherapy treatments. It is bad and affects my stability. I try everything that comes along in the way of supplements but, so far, it remains. My oncologist told me it usually goes away within six months or so but not in my case.

I do my prep in stages so that I can go sit for a bit then resume work. Due to lower back pain and pressure on nerves that causes my knee to go numb.
