  1. Maybe you could sell some of that stuff you never use any more, and buy a decent regular freezer as well as the blast.
  2. Indeed, both bad in the middle and a bit on the outside too. And since it was such a challenging season for the potato crop here, probably wise to avoid potatoes from Imperfect, if you're getting Imperfect in the northeast. Yep - I don't have as much problem with in-store stuff, but the corner guys - it's really caveat emptor. And if you luck out and get the good ones, use them very quickly.
  3. Hennes's look fine - you should be okay. Maybe.
  4. So I just went to cut up the 2 sweet potatoes I received in my Imperfect Box, and boy, are they lousy. Red potatoes are better but still not great. Maybe in my neck of the woods, imperfect potatoes are not worthy.
  5. Certainly sounds like the bananas thawed somewhere along the way to getting to your fancy new blender...(same one I use). Like anyone cares, I go for kefir in my smoothies - but I have no problem adding ice if all I have is fresh fruit. And I don't mind a shot of nut butter, or even a handful of cashews, almonds, whatever thrown into the blend.
  6. Yes - pretty good product, but I have not roasted a whole Katie’s, which I find offers to me a better way of judging the bird from nose to pupick.
  7. Oh - it's the chicken from Cooks Venture. But they really don't appear to be heavily discounted at all (though they offer thighs, which fresh direct does not).
  8. I seem to remember something coming in different packaging, but didn't really make the weather connection. I'll totally keep an eye on it my next delivery. And now that I think about it, some Fresh Direct packaging changed too.
  9. I think if I use/continue to use this (imperfect) service I would try to up to the free delivery level ($60 here), and use it less frequently.
  10. I seem to be able to get the chickens I like (not Joyce, but close) from Imperfect, and a fair amount of other stuff too. Most everything in the produce area is cheaper than I pay at my regular stops.

    Coffee Gator

    I think it's all about being proprietary. And in that case, why not the larger one as well?
  12. Food & Wine; Wine Spectator; I think that's about it at this point.

    Breakfast 2021

    Frittata + blini with smoked salmon and crème fraîche.
  14. We didn't get on that well either; we got over it.
  15. I pulled a bottle of exactly this out of my fridge last night, as I wanted to use some soy in a mushroom dish I was making and thought, hey - mushroom soy - great idea! But when I saw the ingredients included sugar, I decided against and just used some of that crazy soy I got from Mala.
  16. Arrowhead is your friend.
  17. This was your first problem.
  18. So there's nothing Japanese in any Chinese person's kitchen?
  19. After breaking my millionth glass carafe, I was alerted to a newish product, the Coffee Gator. Yes, it's still breakable, and I don't give it a chance of much longevity in my kitchen. But I'd heard good things from a respected coffee person, so I figured I'd give it a try. And since I always want free shipping, it forced me to buy... A large one AND a small one. Since I make myself a cup before Significant Eater awakens, the small one can come in handy. It makes a really nice cup! Not prefectly clean like a paper filter, and certainly not French Press what I call "muddy." But in between, with more body than paper filter. I'd never had any luck with metal filters, but these seem to really do the trick...so far, so good.

    Dinner 2021

    No - too busy scarfing it down. But it was 1/2 roast duck, Singapore Mai fun, 3 dumpling bone broth soup, spareribs in black bean sauce and a lunch order of greens.
  21. Do they ever use what's called Tamari soy sauce, which I guess is the gluten-free version of soy? Looking a little further, I guess it's more of a Japanese product.
  22. Backstory to the books coming down is that I read this wonderful piece in Food & Wine Magazine... Remembering Lulu Peyraud, a Quiet Legend in the World of French Food and Wine She lived until she was 102!!
  23. Bonjour... These are now down off the shelves. And doing a little kitchen rearranging. These French jars will get filled with various things, and my eclectic coffee making stuff (the stuff I don't actually use to make coffee) has been moved to another locale.

    Dinner 2021

    More comfort food, after a lunch of take-out Chinese from Wu's. Fusilli with sausage and Romanesco.

    Dinner 2021

    Since they probably won't let you have the wine on death row, can I have it?
