Hotel I stayed at in Germany. Breakfast was excellent. Peter the Great was said to have liked it too.

One I recommend is Vivek Singh, Curry.

It was vile.

I tried again to make something potable out of my strawberry wax candle. I added milk and processed a couple times on the milkshake setting. Better, but nothing good. I think the Ninja is OK but the recipe is horrible.

You are on eGullet and you ask is being an enabler a bad thing?

For a quick chill I often put my wine in the freezer for a few moments without problems (unless I forget and leave the bottle overnight). However this time my 1.5 liter of soave went into the blast freezer for about an hour. Thankfully the glass did not break, but the contents were frozen solid. Blast freezer works great.

I shall never again chill my evening's wine bottle in the same blast freezer as the ice cream.

I'd say she is an enabler.

Batch 12. 90g blanched Spanish almonds 90g apricot kernels 350ml water 260g sugar 20ml orange flower water As an experiment I reduced the sugar to 260g from 300g.

Grilled with garlic sounds pretty good to me.

Strawberry Profoundly disappointing. Flavor was good, sweetness was right on. Texture was waxy. Like eating a strawberry scented candle. The little globules one can see, I believe, are bits of butterfat. True, I spun on the "sorbet" setting while the recipe called for "ice cream". I doubt that is the reason. I get the same poor results with conventionally made ice cream when I don't homogenize the base. Any idea where I went wrong? It could be because I used real cream instead of ultra pasteurized. I also learned that focus stacking is incompatible with ice cream.

APO arctic char. Smoke detector off. Liberal Gaspesian Salmon Rub: https://epicesdecru.com/products/epices/rub-gaspesien-a-saumon Some of the finest fish I have enjoyed. Any moment I expect the visions to embark. Hopefully with English subtitles. Edit: lemon wedge not shown.

Wish I could get fish delivered a 1/4 pound at a time. Sometimes I can order 1/2 a pound but usually a pound is the minimum I can buy.

That looked interesting, thanks. I put it in my amazon "saved for later".

I used to use Amazon Fresh, but Amazon Fresh is no longer available in my area.

I ordered a Whole Foods delivery for today. There is a line on the invoice for service charge, though it currently is set to zero. Some things I do not understand. Like why I received two packages of duck.
-
I've never experienced arctic char, but my curiosity is piqued. I need suggestions how to cook it. I now have 0.92 pounds of char in the refrigerator. It came from the Amazon.

Not sure why Kerry has better luck with mango than I do. The first can I ordered got lost somewhere in California. The replacement can was delayed in shipment several days, but finally made it to my doorstep this afternoon. Packed in a paper bag. The can is crushed and rusted. Like it suffered fire and floods. Which it may well have. The amazon product page states "Refund or replacement available". However when I tried to initiate a return I got the error: "This item is not returnable". A kind amazon phone rep was able to remove the charge. The question now is do I want to try to open the can and spin it, or should I be safe and pitch it? The contents are not leaking. Meanwhile Alexa is reminding me I'm running low on mango pulp and asking do I want to order more.

My first batch of strawberry is chilling in the Vesta, set to -22C. For whatever reason, Shoprite was featuring strawberries today. There were a few different brands on offer. I purchased one container of organic and one container of inorganic. Turns out there should be enough berries to make three pints. The bits I tasted were not half bad. Whilst on the subject, what sadist would call for 1 1/2 cups of strawberries? Why can't Ninja suggest a weight? I followed the Ninja recipe best could, save I substituted 10g of DE 42 glucose powder for the called for teaspoon of light corn syrup. Ninja kitchen personnel can measure a teaspoon of corn syrup, post a video, and I will watch it gladly. Preferably with Rancho Gordo popcorn.

It's the good intention that counts, Alex: I shall never again shake my evening Mississippi punch without the lid.

I have strawberries.
-
I received an email from amazon that starting next month they will be adding a $9.95 service charge to Whole Foods delivery.

I believe the lens mounts are compatible!
