Oops! I forgot Save-A-Lot! To Aldi's credit they do have EXCELLENT customer service. I called the customer service 'hotline' in regard to issues I recently had with a couple products. Via their 'Double Guarantee' I received a $12 gift card a few days later.

If they choose to take the risk—the responsibility should be THEIRS!

Wow! Thanks!

There is no doubt that potential risk exists. Raw milk may be contaminated with brucella, listeria, salmonella, e. coli, or campylobacter. So why do some people choose to consume high-risk foods such as raw milk, raw oysters, raw fish (sushi), raw beef (steak tartare,) raw egg, raw fruits and vegetables, etc.? The answer is—flavor! Those willing to accept the risk should be permitted to consume whatever THEY choose!

Welcome!

Maybe, but I grew up in dairy country—I know dozens and dozens of folks who drink raw milk every day.

Metallurgist voodoo, no doubt!

I edited it. Try it again.

I just stumbled upon these... Lodge Dishwasher Safe Seasoned Cast Iron Skillets!? Interesting!

Happy Thanksgiving to you, too!

Yeah, I ordered it from Harbor Freight and used the 20% off code.

Have you tried a 'flamethrower?' I still have some birthday money left so I ordered one.

As many as 100+.

The Instant Pot Duo Mini 3 Qt 7-in-1 arrived today. The Wilton Excelle Elite 6 x 2-3/4 Inch Springform Pan fits it perfectly! I'll be making savory cheesecake very soon!

Yet I drank it for 40+ years without issue. Some friends and family, much, MUCH, longer.

Nope, the Albrecht brothers split things up many years ago over a dispute over the sale of cigarettes. Aldi USA was spawned from Karl Albrecht's company whereas Trader Joe's was bought and expanded by Theo Albrecht. Aldi definitely does not have as good of prices and is not as competitive in this area as it appears to be in others. Within 4 miles we have Aldi, Tops, Jubilee, Weis and Walmart. There's also a Sam's Club. Minier's, a family owned grocery store, is about 8 or 9 miles away.

Demographics! "Aldi has also opened stores close to Wal-Mart's supercenters to benefit from its budget-conscious shoppers." Exclusive: Aldi raises stakes in U.S. price war with Wal-Mart

I'm hoping the Joule drops to ~$150. I'll be on it like a rat on a Cheetos™ cheese puff! Probably a pipe dream!

I questioned him last night on Twitter. He hasn't responded yet.

No! There used to be available a well designed stainless steel ladle that had a flat edge so that it could be used for both scraping and scooping—but a cursory search hints that it has disappeared! I can't remember who, exactly, sold it. I think it was seed vendors or sausage making supply vendors. It may also have been Lehman's Hardware in Ohio.

Nope! Nothing special! I bent it on the edge of a stainless steel work table. Two bends. I flipped the spoon over so the bowl rested flat on the edge of the table, then I bent the entire handle downward. When that was complete, I flipped the spoon back over and bent the handle near the middle so that the upper part of the handle is close to parallel with the rim of the bowl.

I just bought one.

How did I do? 50¢ tablespoon—2/$1—from Dollar Tree. I have some higher quality spoons to bend—larger Cambridge and a much larger Oneida.

My mom bought a book at a thrift store. When she got home she found $200 in it!!!

Sous vide and deep fry?
