Pork tartine with lingonberry sauce. Still just a pork sandwich but probably prettier than yesterday. They each have their place.

Today Kerry and I found our way to Royal Pho in Ancaster after some serious retail therapy in our favorite store HomeSense. Our drinks did not make it into the photograph. Kerry had tea and I had iced coffee with condensed milk. Crispy calamari. This was amazing stuff and I wished that I could send some over to @rotuts! Kerry's meal was a grilled pork chop with chicken and fried egg. I had vermicelli noodles with grilled pork, chicken and a spring roll. Soup and dipping sauces.

No. I'm sorry I'm not familiar with the brands but I do know that Amazon has got the best customer service going so if you were not satisfied you could return it with no problem. But someone else might be able to recommend one of the brands I see there so I would sit tight for now and give people a chance to see that you're looking for an answer. @andiesenji will almost certainly know where to obtain it!

It seems to be readily available on Amazon.com from various sources.

This is enameled cast iron I found in a thrift store. It has no markings on it other than a tiny label saying "made in Japan". Any guesses as to its purpose?

Don't feel too bad. Most days I forget I have it too!

I commented on the dinner thread also that I'm sure it doesn't matter where you choose to post. For me it's easier to find a recipe or a method that relates to the Instant Pot if it is posted here! Your meals, no matter where you post them, always look quite delicious to me.

Don't think so. I think it's a toss of the coin for each of us whether we post here or in the Instant Pot Thread or even link the two!

Yes I could have and perhaps I should have done something to take away from the sheer dullness of this photograph. But what I was craving tonight was some pork. Simple, roasted pork butt. No condiments, not even butter on the bun. I enjoyed every single bite! It was juicy, a little bit fatty and straight out of the oven (Cuisinart steam oven).

There are worse things!

Do you mean it stays green for service or does it still stay green if you toss it in the refrigerator for a few days?

Yep. That's the way I work these days! Thanks.

@Shelby Thank you so much for typing all that up! Now I need to do my bit and actually make them.

@Shelby those chicken enchiladas are really calling out to me. Not something I make so can you tell me more about them, please.

My interpretation of this.

Sometimes a beer is worth it. Sometimes not so much. Thanks for a great and enlightening story.

Thanks to the help of a friend and YouTube videos I now have ice! Doesn't mean I shouldn't spend a bit more time trying to understand pasteurization so I can take advantage of its many benefits. Thank you for sharing your experience.

Interesting. I think I will hold out for the flour though. Thanks.

Son of a gun. Amazon.ca carries it -- both Bob's Red Mill and another brand. Next time I put in an order I will get two kilograms of the other brand. It is still not cheap being close to $10 for 2 kg.

So far I have not found a source for white whole wheat where the shipping is reasonable. I have not spent a lot of time looking for it in specialty stores but it is in the back of my mind.

Potatoes, zucchini, sliced portobellos, all roasted separately then sprinkled with some Gruyere and some cheddar and given a few minutes under the broiler. Simple but good.

I am the same. As much as I want to like whole wheat I just can't. I've tried the best and I've tried the worst and it doesn't make any difference -- I don't like it!

Can't say as I have. I wonder if they are the same in the Canadian Costco stores as you are getting.

Doesn't look like much but it's two frozen eggrolls reheated in the Cuisinart Steam Oven (CSO) and they were almost as good as new. When I finally get room in my freezer, my only item when I call for Chinese takeout will be two dozen of these things!

Two loaves of banana bread. One was destined for my son-in-law after he fixed my icemaker. He didn't fix it but I think I did. Oh well I'll still give him the banana bread.
