@lindag for me your link came up as an ice cream maker, not as an ice maker. My need was urgent. Last spring I evaluated an ice machine for Amazon. I fell in love. I am addicted to nugget ice. A couple days ago my beloved ice machine failed, and it is no longer available on Amazon (although an exact clone from another company still seems to be). In desperation I ordered about the cheapest nugget ice machine that I could find -- $199.89 on sale: (eG-friendly Amazon.com link) The Iceman was recommended by the NY Times.

Batch 40: 90g blanched Spanish almonds 90g apricot kernels 350g water 280g sugar 60ml Wray & Nephew Overproof Once again I used a stirring hotplate, however I think next time I will go back to an hotel pan and a spatula for mixing. The sugar is too heavy to mix well with stir bar.

I made a recipe of Modernist Pistachio Peanut Butter Gelato: https://modernistcuisine.com/recipes/pistachio-gelato/ I spun a portion of the mix in the Creami on the Ice Cream setting. The result was a powder. A lovely tasting powder, but a powder. I spun a second container on the Lite Ice Cream setting and it came out exactly as one would expect, perfect texture. Has anyone else experienced such outcomes?

I have not seen it for a while. I once had a can of cream of coconut blow up in my kitchen. It wasn't pretty.

I'd hate to think what it'd be like if it weren't in the can.

@rotuts I've evaluated half a dozen over door racks or more. I am using three of them. One I gave away just this afternoon. It's hard to get much of a feel for how well a rack will work for you until you try it on your door in your house.

@Smithy somewhere in the bedroom I have a canned pudding from the last millennium.

I forgot to say, my meatloaf turned out excellent. Last time I made the recipe the texture was good, but double grinding made a world of difference. I still have half a meatloaf left.

According to the Japanese Culinary Academy the height of one's cutting board should be the height of one's navel, in my case 45 inches (in flat shoes). This seems high for a cutting surface. Thoughts? Should one oil the blade of a blue steel knife after every use?

Yes, but you live in Pennsylvania. They probably fell off a truck.

Only eggs Whole Foods has are quail eggs.

Of all your destinations @liamsaunt I think I'd enjoy this one the most.

I read today that $40,000 worth of eggs were stolen from a truck in Pennsylvania. Small truck I guess.

I think the size would be OK.
