Depends how deep the cut.

Jeff may have many faults but he can make good on frozen peas.

Whole new meaning to "kitchen talk". On a more positive note, at least in the UK -- should you cut yourself Alexa will dispense authoritative NHS medical advice. (But in the US she will reorder frozen peas.)

I am unsurprised to report that Shoprite did not have frozen peas. Still a blank location for them on the shelf. There may be a great pea famine but more likely Shoprite is changing their packaging. Meanwhile I have ordered frozen peas from amazon.

Canadian. Not real dollars.

I've been served bannock bread by First Nations people near Moose Factory, Ontario. It was a freshly baked sweet bread with raisins, accompanied by surprisingly good tea. Reminded me of something similar from Scotland.

Ask @Panaderia Canadiense about her baking soda.

I was going to ask the same question as @rotuts and after reading @Kerry Beal's answer I am still wondering.

I hope at least the store offered some small kindness towards you. I couldn't fault anyone but myself.

Do you use the CSO?

Thanks, everyone. Landing on a garbage bag helped break my fall. Bread was good.

I wasn't sure bread was going to happen. I fell on the stairs with my laundry basket and the day went down from there.

What I do now is either dry the pasta on a dishtowel or on a plate, depending on the pasta. I'm not so much trying to dry the pasta as hold it until I can get it in the water.

The rack I had did not have parallel rods.

In my case the pasta would crack at the folded over part.

I had a wooden pasta rack with dowels that sat on a table or the counter. Most of the pasta ended up on the table, counter, or the floor.

I only wish.

But did they have frozen peas?

How do you keep the pasta off the floor?

Sorry I never gave an update. I've been working my way through my order of Penzeys Whole Special Extra Bold Indian Black Peppercorns currently in the grinder. Very pleased. My solution to the multiple peppers in my collection is a battery of mortars.

I have to say the (organic) tomatoes on the vine I bought the other day were not half bad. My only complaint is that two spoiled before I ate them. And it's difficult to blame the tomatoes for that. Based on that success I picked up a package of the cherry tomatoes on the vine, as recommended by @BeeZee above. They were good but I wouldn't say better than the bigger ones. In any event I picked up another package of the cherry tomatoes this afternoon. I'm still annoyed with Shoprite for not having the Sunset tomatoes that I like. Worse, the last two times I've been there they have not had frozen peas. FROZEN PEAS. What's noteworthy is the Township this week has paved my route to the store. Twenty years earlier might have been more useful but better late than never. I will not be surprised if the path still floods.

My energy level and sense of taste are still not up to normal but I am trying to get back to cooking. This was Nasim Alikhani's turmeric chicken from the WSJ 6/24/2019. I don't blame Alikhani in the least. Dinner was not bad at all but it was bland and brought little joy. The basmati rice was the best part. Inspired by @Anna N I steamed some dried apricots in the CSO. Some apricots are apparently more dried than others. These might have been about right pressure steamed in my Fissler for half an hour. I could not chew them. Salad did not do much for me either.

I could be wrong, but I believe the curly instant ramen noodles are par cooked and freeze dried.

The recipe is on the package: "Cooking time about 4 minutes."

I use my KitchenAid Precise Heat Mixing Bowl.
