  1. Where is the bridge and tunnel?
  2. Having had none of the above, could you explain more of the difference?
  3. It was when I could walk. Maybe I'll be able to walk again by the time Whole Foods is built.
  4. Not only on sale, Rao's was still expensive even with the senior citizen discount I forgot to mention.
  5. Over a year since my last update... Two days ago amazon broke ground for the new Whole Foods near to where I live.

    Lunch 2023

    No ketchup and peanut butter?
  7. Indeed, on sale. Still, expensive stuff.
  8. Rao's is Campbell's now. I bought a jar of their sauce last night.
  9. For my part I have made clear ice cubes twice. With my setup they are easy enough to make, but then a well meaning friend gave me a lot of frozen chicken soup.
  10. I had no ground pork, nor did the grocery store. However the package of ground wild boar I opened tonight had no sulfurous smell.
  11. The stated CRI of 95 is most impressive and the price is eyewatering* for a non-smart LED. I now have the Soraa Vivid in my amazon saved for later list. The Soraa specs state for use in damp locations. *This from someone who yesterday purchased a $95.95 Hue smart bulb from Philips.
  12. Another method: my freezer needs to be manually restarted. Thus it is easy to tell if it has lost power.
  13. There is no outlet above or near the sink. And as it is I have the LED dimmed considerably. In addition I'd rather be routing low voltage around the sink rather than 110. Your mileage may vary.
  14. For my kind friend's chicken soup I went with the roux. I thickened more than I intended, however it was quite tasty. Plenty of soup left to experiment.
  15. I have the LED strip hooked up to a USB charger.
  16. New range hood bulb works fine, although the higher color temperature takes a bit of getting used to. Meanwhile, on the subject of kitchen lighting, yesterday I installed an LED strip above my sink: (eG-friendly Amazon.com link)
  17. I shall never again leave a quiche out overnight. And if you never hear from me, that's what happened.
  18. The pie laden fork fell off the plate. That's when the trouble started. A waterproof desk protector is on the way from amazon... (eG-friendly Amazon.com link)
  19. I rather thought is was obvious. Sticky desk, sticky chair, sticky hands. Remarkably no pie got on the keyboard.
  20. I shall never again attempt to eat strawberry rhubarb pie at the computer. Pie was good though.
  21. I appreciate the suggestion, I had not thought of it. However for this I think I want the heavier cooked flavor of a roux.
  22. Cornstarch and potato flakes I do not stock. Cooking and mashing a potato may be more complicated cuisine than I am up to. Then there is the complication that I gave up on potatoes since I couldn't cook them before they would rot. I may try the roux and see how it goes.
  23. Knowing that I've been ill, a friend made a quantity of chicken soup for me. Her kindness did not receive notice in the "Unexpected Food Gifts" as she gave a week's notice that she would be bringing it to me. Did I mention it was a lot of soup? Half is still frozen and I have had three meals so far from the rest. I would like to thicken a portion to have as a stew, and I wondered if I could simply prepare a roux and add the cold soup to it? What I am hoping for is something about the consistency of chicken pot pie filling, without the pot pie crust.
