Only now do I realize why it is called Bed, Bath, and Beyond. Nonetheless I am sitting here with my evening mai tai, trying to choose a recipe to start with. Plans for mango sorbet were dashed to bits when amazon lost my mango shipment.* I have a second can of mango on order for delivery tomorrow. Along with the extension cord I need. My plan this afternoon was to pick up some cream cheese at Shoprite and assay the Ninja vanilla ice cream recipe. Did not happen, what with the wind and flooding. At least I got out of work two hours early. *what's worse, amazon lost a camera lens I'd ordered, and then charged me for it twice. Really. Significant when the lens represents the better part of two month's rent. After a long phone call I think everything is fixed. Apparently the lens had gone missing from the amazon warehouse where it was supposed to be. Another warehouse found one and charged me for it a second time. However, unlike the mango, the lens is yet to ship.

It's not earthshattering but my dinner didn't post. It was a difficult evening after half setting up my new Ninja Creami. I am not a Communist. I have too great a love for kitchen toys. Nonetheless something may be said for FDR's Social Security. I was adopted at birth and orphaned again at 10. Social Security saved me. Now, in senectitude most of my income again comes from Social Security. Recently I had a blood test. The charge was more than $700. My cost was about $50. I still remember a Communist doctor laughing: "This is a Communist country, no one pays for healthcare. Dinner was salami, cheese, and crackers. A liter of MR. Overproof rum is one thing. MR is another. Unlike the leaking apartment ceiling downstairs, I seem to be plastered.

I have no idea what I'm liking, but I'm liking.

Cord is too short. Had to order an extension. Blender shown for scale. This device reminds me ever so much of my drill press -- though my drill press is green and yellow.

For those without access to Owen Simmon's technology, I saw an article this afternoon on food photography that does not require film: https://www.dpreview.com/news/6502081214/video-using-wet-plate-collodion-photography-process-for-high-end-food-photography Here's a loaf of sourdough: https://www.dpreview.com/files/p/articles/6502081214/sourdough-mhaustria-3.jpeg

Can't figure out how to remove the cardboard. Eventually I had to go sit down.

Out for delivery.

I shall never again splash my face with boiling potato water. Worry not, everything is OK save for a small spot on my lower lip.

Isn't this old firmware?

Could you wait to register until the containers are back in stock?

Nothing wrong with the CSO but it is small. Some might say too small.

Amazon seems to have lost my can of mangoes.

What I didn't buy was Cointreau. There is a glass shortage, they said.

Amazon is offering a "five easy payments" deal on a camera lens I'd like. I haven't fully decided yet, however I cannot have both. One might say Modernist Pizza is a lot of bread.

With a heavy heart I cancelled my preorder.

I shall never again scald my tongue on a pottage of Rancho Gordo Alubia Blanca. Two nights in a row.

In the glossary of Kitchen Mysteries Herve This defines Tenderness: "A term used for meat; different from human tenderness but resembling it." What immediately leapt to mind: has he tried sous vide?

Danke. After a bit of research, utskho suneli is Trigonella caerulea. You may know it as ziegerkraut.

I believe Kerry has both.

Watermelon berries?

Maybe Kerry will give it a try and report back.

Have you considered using a rotovap to concentrate the solids?

They say you can eat any fungi once.
