Pizza (homemade) and several tasting wines for us and a couple friends.

@Dejah, SpiceTrekkers said: We don't add phosphorus or potassium to our blends, but they may be present in small amounts in the spices themselves. Since the spices added to recipes represent only a tiny fraction of the total amount of ingredients, the amounts are not listed. Because most of our blends do not contain salt (aside from our zaatars, our rubs, dukkha, and, of course, our salts), there is no link for salt free blends except the direct link to our online boutique that will give your friend access to our products’ descriptions and ingredients list: https://spicetrekkers.com/en-ca/store

@Dejah, check SpiceTrekkers in Montréal. I have written to ask about their salt-free blends. Will let you know.

That looks delicious! Pardon me, but how is a smash burger different from a hamburger?

Welcome!

Welcome, @CHEFSHELLY.

Neely, those dishes look scrumptious! Do you have ideas about how the eggplant sauce was made? Was the duck leg roasted separately?

Thriftbooks finds several issues with the title "Farm Journal Complete Pie Cookbook". Can you say more about the publication date or authors?

@Smithy, I'm finding I don't know what to use it for . . .

@YvetteMT, what brand is your favourite frozen pizza? (DH and I having some medical stuff, so we're eating pre-prepared stuff and I hate, hate, hate the options from our local grocery stores).

Is this a real thing or a myth? Sous Vide Cooking: The Secret to Perfectly Cooked Risotto here

Have you told us how to make your Apple, Orange, Cranberry Chutney, @Dejah?

Looks very inviting! How did your wife make the garlic bread?

@liamsaunt, all these dinners look fabulous (and easy as pie) I'm very interesting in these sweet potato dumplings. Have a recipe, please?

This is my favourite pepper https://spicetrekkers.com/shop/spice-blends/eight-pepper-blend

I ended up refrigerating the cassoulet overnight.

If anyone else can't read the Washington Post story, please let me know. I thought their links provided a paywall-free read.

Here is an unpaywalled version of the Washington Post article about Mushroom Murder Trial in Australia. https://wapo.st/43HKmQP

I cooked 3 pairs duck legs sous vide at @Duvel's temp of 155ºF for 30 hours and marked the bag as @rotuts suggested. Today I built a cassoulet using a 3.5 lb can of Moulard Duck Leg confit (4 legs) from Rougié (a US company but prepared by Aurpal Inc in Marieville, Québec), one of the pairs of sous vide duck legs, 2 kinds of sausages from d'Artagnan, prosciutto (because no ventrèche), duck fat, and Rancho Gordo Ayocote Blanco Beans. It cooked in the Anova oven for a few hours. The cassoulet will be eaten tomorrow but the liquids in the Dutch oven are about 1" from the top, so very dangerous to carry. However, I could put the lid on the Dutch oven and still get the pot into the Anova oven. Is there any temperature I could set the Anova wherein I could leave the pot in the oven all night?

Love your MacGyvered cooling system, @rotuts !

Clearly I don't actually fully read when I read . . . 🙄

Thanks for the vicarious thrills !

Why painful?

Liuzhou, could you tell me your current method for making congee? (I also have no room in my freezers). Thanks.

Why frozen rice, @lindag?
