Last night I baked a batch of Rose Levy Berenbaum chocolate cupcakes that I took to work. Lots left over, and chocolate buttercream all over the kitchen.

I've made the blueberry and Omani lime. I still have the rest of the bag of Omani limes in the bedroom so maybe I should make a batch again.

JB Prince. I bought a Sitram lid for my Paderno 18 liter stock pot. I also share lids among Demeyere, Fissler, Le Creuset and others.

@weinoo beat me to it, but I would second Falk. Several small Falk sauciers to choose from. No maintenance for Falk copper except don't run it through the dishwasher. If you're anal Bar Keepers Friend shines it right up. A copper lid is never necessary. Metric lids are standardized. You probably already have stainless steel lids that fit the Falk sauciers just fine. You may not need induction cookware now, but I suggest buying the Falk induction ready versions. You can thank me later.

All the better.

Have you considered whole dried Aji Amarillo? That's how I buy it. Probably longer shelf life too.

I'd sleep in his kitchen.

I've been pleased with berries from Driscoll's Sweetest Batch. So far I've had their strawberries, blueberries, and blackberries.

If the device were not induction I would not be interested.

I have three. I paid $69. I use them daily. I have not turned on my stove so far this year. At the moment breakfast is pancakes. The Paragon holds the griddle at 375F so I don't have to think about it. Yes, I know it's Fahrenheit but no device is perfect.

I shall never again mistake my hand for an avocado.

I thought a pound of Enstrom was a lot until I started eating it. Last month a nurse at the medical center gave me a box of toffee because she knew I was struggling to get my weight up. Since then I have been craving toffee. I have a case of Skor on its way from Amazon.

Beautiful! A microwave is one kitchen device I do not have. Do you find the microwave result is better than the blender method or just easier?

Pastry cream is trivial if you use my blender method.
