Nope. You can but I can’t.😂

Thank you. I ate one while they were still warm. Quality Control – – you understand.

While we were up in Manitoulin @Kerry Bealfound some lovely dates at HomeSense. I asked her to grab me a package and I had date squares in my mind. Today was the day. I had just finished cutting them when my daughter arrived and informed me that my son-in-law was in Edmonton for the week. Oh well. I guess they’ll freeze. I don’t really need the temptation in the house though.

Squares are the best.

No, Kim this is not what you want at all. This is what you want! And you should be able to get it in your Asian store.

Still there is a sizeable difference between the two prices! Not so much on Amazon.ca.

OK so I thought about this and realized that I just couldn’t imagine eating an untoasted English muffin. I gag at the very thought of it. Probably makes me at least as odd as your wife.😂

This caught my interest until I popped onto Amazon.ca and discovered that the hardcover is $32.91 and the Kindle book was $30.39. Who thought that was justifiable?

Somebody has to.😂

From the instruction manual: Preheat – Preheat indicator will disappear once the oven has reached set temperature. Food should be placed in oven before selecting cooking function and starting oven as preheat time is minimal and incorporated into overall cooking time. Bolding is mine.

So very nice to see you.

Not in my world.😂

But you would have to do it politely.

I knew I wanted something uber savoury for breakfast. I had some wood-oven smoked salami chips, some Seriously Sharp cheddar and eggs. But I also wanted an onigirazu. The more I thought this through the more I wondered if it was crazy talk. Maybe those mushrooms I’ve been eating are not what they purport to be! So here you have fusion cuisine. An Italian frittata? A French omelette? A Spanish tortilla (must this includes potatoes?)? sandwiched between rice patties and wrapped in nori. Mission accomplished.

Yeah, we are unique subset of the population.

I am willing to bet, even though I love my fellow countrypersons, that only two in 10 would know what a currant is when it doesn’t relate to the Great Lakes or the St. Lawrence Seaway. Spelling aside.

I could get behind these things and probably raise you six.😂

They look delicious. Are they anything like Portuguese custard tarts (Pastéis de Nata)?

The great debate.

Did I ever mention how much I despise overcrowded plates? Nobody to blame but me. Fried kielbasa, egg, hot chutney and toast.

Quite mesmerizing. Thanks for sharing.

Having said all that I turned down the opportunity to play with the Control Freak when it was up in Manitoulin Island. 😂 Perhaps I was scared I would get to really like it and the price point for it is not something my budget is able to support.

For $69 even I would’ve taken a fling on it. But by the time it gets all translated into Canadian dollars and Canadian postage etc. I don’t even want to know what the final price would be! I don’t need the induction I have a full induction range but the precision cooking might intrigue me at that price point.
