  1. This is one of the reasons I almost never take a pic (tripod and delay timer are musts for me) or otherwise putz around. I have nothing to prove — the only thing I'm good at is snarfing down food!
  2. I'd try putting the salt in a standard salt shaker and lightly sprinkling over a mesh strainer.
  3. I cover the food.
  4. Me too. I also warm plates, cups, serving-ware, etc. in the dehydrator for 'larger' dinners.
  5. Me too!!!
  6. One of today's deals, The Healthy Pressure Cooker Cookbook: Nourishing Meals Made Fast, by Janet A. Zimmerman ($1.99)
  7. Yes. Kindle desktop is also available.
  8. Rosie...based in Ithaca, NY... which is an online shopping, same-day delivery, or in-store pickup system which has currently been adopted by 20-some stores across the country, including one in my area, delivers for a reasonable fee. Deliveries within one mile: $3.99 Deliveries of 1 - 2.9 miles: $4.99 Deliveries of 3 - 4.9 miles: $6.99 Deliveries of 5 - 6.9 miles: $7.99 Deliveries beyond 7 miles in supported zip codes: $9.99 I'm about 9 miles from the store.
  9. Yeah. And that's extremely easy to do with a webcam and Chrome Remote Desktop or the like.
  10. "This is a space we are developing in and learning in and this is a way for us to accelerate that learning in terms of smart, connected devices," Electrolux CEO Jonas Samuelson said. And it appears they're hedging their bets..... "Paying $115 million cash for Anova, which sells an immersion cooker that is linked through a smartphone to thousands of recipes, Electrolux hopes to leverage its direct sales business model and boost its own connected products business." "Electrolux said it will pay an additional up to $135 million depending on the future performance of Anova and will establish a smart home solutions center in San Francisco to boost the development of connected products in other categories."

  11. Electrolux? This sucks!!!
  12. You obviously haven't been to my area.
  13. This is very interesting. Have you grown them before?

    Aldi

    I was there the other day for heavy cream, mostly. They did have the pork belly, but the price is unreasonable, IMHO. They also had a heck of a lot of the brie in stock.
  15. Yeah! That!
  16. Over regulation, taxation etc. is unnecessary and it is EVIL. Federal regulation, State regulation, local regulation, licensing fees, etc. Federal taxation. State taxation, local taxation, miscellaneous taxation. The professional help required o sort it all out. The burden of it all is overwhelming, especially for small farmers who often work 16-18 hour days for a pittance. It's destroying the soul of this country. Examples of SOME of the regulations and resulting complications facing farmers: Regulatory System Impacting Farmers and Ranchers
  17. What exactly did she steal? And are you sure her videos are monetized? Not all are.
  18. Do you/have you farmed? Do you know my situation?
  19. Why? https://www.starbucks.com/menu/food/hot-breakfast/sous-vide-egg-bites-bacon-gruyere https://anovaculinary.com/easy-homemade-sous-vide-egg-bites/
  20. Any business benefits by limiting competition. I think such schemes (or potential schemes) happen a lot behind the scenes. Not milk related, but food related, and something I know a bit about. Back in the 1980s Ralph Gamber who ran Dutch Gold Honey in Lancaster,PA....which mostly packed shitty Chinese honey....attempted to spark legislation that would outlaw hand capping of honey bottles by small producers, effectively eliminating a lot of competiton because automatic capping equipment is so expensive. There isn't a DAMN thing wrong with hand capping a bottle of honey. That's just ONE example. Greedy! Greedy! Greedy!
  21. Yeah, the rules started many years ago — many of them were just plain stupid. My maternal grandfather ran a small creamery for 35+ years. When the 'bulk tank' requirement came along (rather than benign milk cans), my paternal grandfather would have been out of luck with his small dairy if it hadn't been for my maternal grandfather accepting the milk via a 'grandfather clause,' Anyway, it's just a part of the BULLSHIT that led to destruction of smaller farms and the expansion of mega-farms. Butz played a HUGE part in destroying quality agriculture in this country, Raw milk!? Raw milk cheese!? Ain't nobody's effing business but my own if I partake!!!!!!
