Right. Not epub which is what much of the rest of the world uses. But Gutenberg et al conveniently also make mobi.

@JoNorvelleWalker, it used to be that Kindle only read Kindle format. Kindle proprietary format includes filetypes azw, azw3 (called KF8), KFX, and mobi. Most of the rest of the world reads epub, which Kindle didn't read (and maybe still doesn't). There are ways to convert one filetype to another. May be relevant as I have heard a rumour (unvalidated) that Amazon is planning on terminating Kindles. If so, that's a different discussion!

Sure @liuzhou, I didn't want to clutter the air space. Here's what I wrote to @Porthos: I have a Samsung Galaxy S2 Android, but I don't use Amazon Kindle (I use epub, and a different method). Our test was on Kindle for PC, so these are not absolute instructions. First, could you provide the entire filename of one file you are attempting to download? (File type matters) For an example: ABCDTESTONE.AZW . Further note, if the filename has any funny characters, rename the file so that it has plain characters without spaces. Don't rename the filetype. What you have to discover is where the Kindle app is storing files. In Kindle for PC, that directory is listed off the Options menu. In our test, that directory is c:\Users\UserName\Documents\MyKindleContent\ . Also find where Android downloaded your ebook file. Go to MyFiles app and start with the top level Download folder, but you may need to go a few folders in to find it. Look through anything that seems relevant. Other things to note: If you use Dropbox, the downloads go to a different folder (than browser downloads). If you are using USB you have to give permission for the tablet to access the device. When you find out what your file is named, go to the directory named in #2 and create a new sub-directory with the first part of the filename (i.e. without the .AZW). In this test case, the new directory structure would be: c:\Users\UserName\Documents\MyKindleContent\ABCDTESTONE This should make the ebook visible on Kindle. Please note that these instructions may not work precisely for everyone, as computer setups can be quite unique. However, if it's not working for you, let us know. Edited to add: Loading ebooks in this way is called "Sideloading" - which can be googled with impunity. 🤣

@Porthos, I am sending instructions privately.

My DH and I are arguing about whether you have a Kindle and a tablet, or whether you have only a Kindle app on your tablet. Do you know where the book is on the tablet? (i.e. can you see the file?) Edited to add: What model Samsung?

Hello @Freds. Welcome!

dcarch, your food is always gorgeous. I reposted a link to your delightful post to my gardening group and was asked if any hosta variety was edible, or are some better than others?

@Smithy, are you still taking responses? If I unplug the Joule without exiting the cook program, then I have to do lots of adjustment when I want to next use the Joule. If I just terminate the program, then I can unplug the Joule and I won't have trouble next time I want to start it up.

It was a superb experience!

@eugenep, sorry for my delay but I've been living it up in St Louis with a few eGulleters (click). I find that leftover grain (seasoned) works very well in bread. Also, my pizza dough method (bread machine) uses very little yeast and then sits in the fridge for 3 - 10 days. I think this delay adds to the flavour.

This looks lovely! Recipe? (eGullet search did not help). Earlier this year I was really really sick with "flu" which lasted for 45 days (during which time it morphed from "flu" to something in my lungs). Drugs didn't help much. Eventually it went away. As it turns out, even one of my doctors got it!

Also, you'll need less liquid in a sous vide dish (because it won't boil away).

Georgeous! What's in the rice?

Definitely interested, @kayb!

Dinner was absolutely fabulous! Drum roll. And here are the delightful Chris and Karen Hennes

You know, I really was thinking of going to Kelowna next year . . . 🤣

And Margaret was going to bring me too.

I don't agree with #10. I need many cookbooks.

I know someone said no wine glasses but I'd like to tell you about some friends of mine who asked for pairs of unique wine glasses, one pair of wineglasses from one person/couple. I remember going over to their place some time after they had married and they had a shelf in their dining room (we were all poor in those days) chock full of pairs of interesting wine glasses (most of them pretty cheap). When they break, they break. In the decades since, I've always thought that was a brilliant idea.

These husk cherries were purchased Saturday from the St Louis Farmers' Market on a guided tour by Rob. These same husk cherries (well, not exactly the same cherries ) were part of the dinner at Bulrush. See the pork coppa dish. . These little fruits are incredibly sweet and tangy. In my dish below they were added to the pan for the last minute. The ravioli was stuffed with mushrooms. Sauce was frozen basil cheese butter. And, while the dish doesn't look like much, it was truly great. Ravioli came from Midwest Pasta Company (according to the Italian markets from The Hill, the last shop in St Louis which sells fresh pasta). We had to empty our cooler full of salami, apples and bread, so we could each bring home fresh pasta (a combined total of 9 boxes!). Tonight DH and I will have our last box of ravioli, this one stuffed with roasted butternut squash. (sorry for the sideways photo; it'll be right side up if you turn clockwise)

@gfron1, good news. Where should we meet? (Please pick something obvious in Tower Grove Farmers' Market because I'm not familiar with St Louis)

National Weather Service shows flood warning for St Louis. Should we worry? (Coming from Illinois)

Ooh, I'd like this! How early do you usually go?

We have a lot of other grains: bulger, toasted kasha, quinoa, oats, barley, brown rice, red rice, wild rice, and some I'm forgetting. Sweet potatoes. I admit that I'm a breadoholic, I blame it on my dad. I have a bread machine. My favourite bread comes from Bread In Half The Time from Eckhardt & Butts which is a combination of bread flour, white whole wheat flour and semolina. It's wonderful as is for about 3 days (DH doesn't eat much bread). After 3 days, I toast it. It rarely goes blue . . . Another favourite bread uses up all the cheese ends in one's fridge. I have a lot of bread machine recipes for different kinds of bread. I just made sweet potato dough in the bread machine and then baked the rolls. Generally, I find that rolls get stale on the second day, so they don't last as long as a loaf. Edited to add: Oh, and beans!

Indeed. Thank you for such an enjoyable trip!
