When I ordered Everything Kitchens had six slicer attachments in stock. Now they have three.

Japan and the US plus a few other countries have a postal treaty that allows this to happen.

Though I doubt most establishments are pulverizing the 105 euro per kilo stuff that I am using.

Thanks, I already have everything I (currently) want on order.

As much as I love my Cuisipro box grater, grating Parmesan is getting too hard for me. Granted that if I use an appliance I will have to figure out a way to break off a piece to grate. Maybe a use for my Parmesan knife!

To my remembrance I have never attempted a latke nor any kind of potato pancake. But I am excited. I have ordered a shredder with a potato grating disc. When does one use grated potato and when does one use shredded potato for a pancake? Any other recipe suggestions? Given, forgive me, that I have not read through this whole thread.

What spatula, please?

As I mentioned in the cheese grater thread, Ankarsrum attachments are currently hard to find. Anyone on the fence should probably order now.

By way of an update, I've been grating my Parmesan by hand. I confess I never once tried the new Cuisinart grating disc I bought. The Cuisinart still works but the spindle appears cracked and I don't want to put unneeded stress on the part. Last week when I grated some Parmesan I became frustrated with the aptly named hand grater. For a long time I've been wanting the grating attachment for my Ankarsrum. Because of the pandemic Ankarsrum parts have been almost impossible to find. The US distributor has a page of anticipated restocking times, looking at next summer for some and no idea when for others. To make a long story short, I couldn't buy just the attachments I wanted. Pleasant Hill Grain had stock of an expensive combination set that includes the grater as well as a blender and a citrus juicer. I already have a Blendtec and two citrus juicers but I suppose redundancy is always good. I also had my eye on the Ankarsrum shredder/slicer set that should be good for vegetables and softer cheese. Pleasant Hill did not have stock of the shredder/slicer, however I found them at Everything Kitchens, which is where I bought my Blendtec. Pleasant Hill is experiencing virus related shipping delays, but the shredder/slicer should be here next week. For anyone thinking about Ankarsrum attachments now might be a good time to order.

Unless you're wearing silicone gloves.

Is there a piece of a foot somewhere in the box?

She was baking in a college dorm, so I'm not sure the silicone was her own personal silicone.

I looked at the jalapenos today in Shoprite. They certainly were huge. Personally I prefer serrano and purchase serrano whenever I have a choice.

I so want to love Darto and am tempted. But I have reservations. I own three Darto pieces. When they arrived I seasoned them religiously. The paella seasoning was removed after one paella. (Tomato tends to do that.) Worse, the pan warped when I tried to make tortillas. Now all three of my Darto pieces have rusted even though they were initially well seasoned. As best I can recall the two smaller Darto pans had never been used for cooking. I bought them with the idea of employing them in the CSO. By contrast my Falk frypan is 2.6 kg and has neither rusted nor warped. Should I be tempted by this sale?

I never cared for cottage cheese (somehow I associate cottage cheese with canned peaches). But what I really loved was junket. I'm sure there must be junket recipes in these books.

Time for another batch (batch 3 if anyone is keeping count). I kept to 120g almonds and 60g apricot kernels. I did not skin the apricots. Doing so is an exercise in frustration. I used the same 300ml water and 200g sugar. Unfortunately the sugar was not refined. That was not intentional but it was the sugar that I had. Given that most of my orgeat is going into rum I hardly think it matters. No orange blossom water. One difference: last time as I heated the almond milk the fat clumped. The fat clumped again today. However this time I homogenized the orgeat while still warm, as I would an ice cream base. I'm not sure anyone has an homogenizer here besides Kerry, but it made an incredible difference in the texture.

My granddaughter reports her most recent loaves had a plasticy taste, which she attributes to having kneaded the dough on a silicone mat. Any ideas what might cause bread to have a plastic taste? (Other than COVID-19, of course.)

In first grade my son had a tarantula as the class pet. I would expect an arachnid or two in a delivery of firewood. But not in a delivery of prewashed greens.

Yes we do.

I believe so. The fresh leaves I've purchased did not taste good. I now only buy dried.

Once I found a live hornet in a package. Earthbound Organic.

Social distancing.

The hydroponically grown lettuce I've bought instructs to wash it.

Probably not.
