It is when you take a sip and were expecting something sweet.

It shall be at least another week before I forget to put orgeat in my mai tai.

This morning's dinner was served at 2:00 am.

Dinner tonight was chicken cacciatore, one of my finest. Let me explain: Last weekend I set out to make chicken cacciatore from chicken thighs amazon sent me by mistake. But in the meantime some Panera sandwiches got in the way. The Panera sandwiches were not exactly great, however they made for dinner. And dinner is better than no dinner. The thighs were in the blast chiller almost a week. By then they were dehydrated to almost jerky. But when sauteed in olive oil they browned up beautifully and did not spatter hot fat allover me and the stove. And the bread could not have been better.

I was going to ask if you had cooked the lamb.

Cooking with the Anova Precision Oven: What did you make?

I use 1/2 size hotel pans or TeamFar pans, both available with racks. -
I reheated my attempt at @Katie Meadow's Faux spinach souffle. About 10 minutes in the APO at 160C with 100 percent steam. The steam made all the difference. What had been dry if still enjoyable became something really great. Next time I would leave out the cayenne. I don't detect cayenne in real Stouffer's. And I could be wrong but I don't think Stouffer's uses cheese.

My last camera had a shutter button, lens aperture ring, shutter speed dial, and a lever to cock the shutter and advance the film. This Sony comes with a 99 page instruction manual and a 668 page downloadable help guide. So far I have figured how to charge the battery. You'd think after half a century they'd have found a way to make things simpler.

What Are You Preserving, and How Are You Doing It? (2016–)

I'd still go with a food mill, either my Mouli or my Ankarsrum, depending on whether I felt up to turning a crank. -
Attempted mushroom pizza. If this sounds like a felony, it was.

I wish grouper here were available for less than half a kidney.

Oh, yes, I snagged two of the giant cookies! Not to mention four bags of potato chips.

Not only were the Panera party sandwiches not great, an opinion shared by the colleagues I spoke with, said Panera sandwiches are again on the menu for tonight. Never look a gift horse (too far) in the mouth, I say. Though this time I'm ditching their horrible attempt at bread and replacing it with my own. Meanwhile, I ascertained from The Wall Street Journal, as I sit here with my pandemic peanut course and evening mai tai, Hormel is acquiring Planters. Long pig replacement and peanut fix (think twenty pounds of Jif) from the same global purveyor. Hormel promises new updated peanut packaging. Hoping for rainbow, queer friendly Ms. Peanut -- librarian glasses, not some silly monocle.

Worse, the Panera sandwiches were not even all that good. Not up to Wawa quality.

I've used this method a couple times and found the skin well browned but the meat I could best describe as strange. My mental image of canned chicken. -

No, third shelf. -
And as has been so amply said: "A party without alcohol is only a meeting."

This afternoon we had a party at work to welcome our new branch manager -- not to mention another supervisor who was returning following a monthlong bout with COVID. (Thankfully she survived.) Sandwiches were catered by Panera. Not much of a party. None of the staff were taking off their masks or eating anything. I never met the overwhelmed new manager till she went home for the night. But I left work with three fancy Panera sandwiches in my backpack.

I go with the baking steel, but for a steam oven I'd recommend stainless steel rather than carbon steel.

Was it middle shelf? -
Sorry, I misunderstood.

Over browning sounds like too much time. Crust thickness sounds like insufficient steam.
