You are such an inspiration in so many ways😁 @andiesenji

canned

The next time we have a 50°-F something degree day (12.7C) I want to make homemade tomato soup, maybe the canned San Marzanos will be back in stock at Walmart by then.

I've been guilty of keeping certain canned goods on the shelf until they began leaking,

Do you think a dose of vinegar in it might discourage the mold?

Your head has corners? How unusual. Ah well...since it is chrome after all, I suppose that is possible.

I need a better bartender...I suck.

Just watched a show where Risotto was being made. Now I have to make a run to the store for asparagus, leek, portobello and arugula. I'm so easily persuaded. 😁

In this day there's just no excuse for bad coffee in such a setting.

urk

I particlarly like the Contigo with the handle... I take mine from room to room and if my hands are full I can actually hang it from my pants pocket!

Henry, thinking about running off to avoid being exiled. I paid for his silence with a nice big soup bone. Henry is just SO good looking! I love that he's part of the party.

For some reason that I can't quite figure, lots of folk around here like to dip their pizza in ranch dressing. Doesn't make sense to me. Pizza should taste like pizza.

The same mug I use every morning for my coffee....it keeps my beverage nice and hot until it's finished.

My gosh, that store is massive! The stores around here would be about a tenth that size at most.

Buy a bottle of vodka in order to make a bottle of gin? I think not.

I've oonly seen Ina Garten make lobster mac and cheese as well as lobster bisque, they both looked amazing.

Another good reason to buy the Ipot Mini. 🙄

A friend from years ago had a husband who hated tomatoes also...she was a great cook but I don't know how she could make many recipes without using canned tomatoes and tomato products.....for me that would be pretty hard, I use tomatoes a lot especially in winter dishes.

I have a Zo induction rice cooker that I love love love. It's quantity is way bigger than I need but it makes every kind of rice one can imagine. Perfect rice every single time...I usually use the timer so it's ready when I am and keeps warm for a long time. They make a smaller rice maker but its footprint isn't that much smaller and it costs more than the one I have.

I've been using Walmart's free delivery* service for a few months now. It's great for staples but, of course there's no 'fresh foods' available that way. I get that from my nearby grocery. The Walmart prices are often better than the US Amazon prices. With Amazon lately I've seen no shipping charges even with purchases less than $25...U am a Prime member. Don't know if this is new policy or because I use my Prime Points but is definitely different from before. *(free delivery with minimum purchase) Edited to add: they tout 'two day delivery', however, at least here that means only if the item is in the local Walmart...anything other than that can take up to a week. Sometimes my order will come in four separate shipments on different days depending on where the items originate.

Do you add a hickory (or other) flavoring?

Uh oh.....I feel a new snack coming on.

Not Kim but I use a push-pin. I store it poked into a wine cork.
