I made orgeat from almond milk processed in my Kuvings... Per a Kuvings recipe I used 180g nuts and 250 ml water. For this batch I used half almonds and half apricot kernels. The almonds were relatively easy to skin. The apricots less so. Took about an hour from my life. Putting the nuts through the Kuvings was easy. Yield of milk was 300g. However I still had to strain the milk through my Matfer chinois (which was nice because in two and a half years this was only the second time I'd found a use for it). There was not much residue. To make orgeat I sweetened the milk with 250g sugar and flavored with 10 ml orange flower water. The almond flavor is pronounced. I did not add alcohol.

I didn't cook either: cheese, apple, and crackers.

Very few days of @feste's left. Situation critical. I plan to attempt my first batch of orgeat tomorrow. Another question: how important is the alcohol? I can't quite believe a small concentration of alcohol would preserve much of anything. Shelf life isn't too important as I go through half a liter of orgeat a month.

When lockdown started I bought 5 bags of dehydrated whole milk. Haven't needed to use any.

Punctuation counts. I was just viewing a product from Whole Foods: soap scented oatmeal.

I toasted some English muffins using the preprogramed toast recipe. They were not as dark as I would like. I'm sure this could be remedied by an extra minute of top heat. Unfortunately I don't know how to edit an anova recipe and I've not yet tried programming my own recipes.

Last night a friend convinced me to reevaluate roast Brussels sprouts. I halved them and roasted at 250C with steam for 9 minutes. They were OK. However I still prefer simply boiling Brussels sprouts for 5 minutes.

I noticed that my local Shoprite has them. Probably has had them for a while. They have told me that when they don't have a sign for produce, they just put the produce out unmarked. Seriously.

Thanks, that could be the answer. The oven was preheating.

Mystery. I set the APO to 135C, bottom element, no steam, no fan. Yet the fan was running. Why? Tried it twice.

Yesterday I read of a baby girl who had been frozen 27 years. My first thought was can she legally drink?

I would dearly love to recreate Horn & Hardart tapioca pudding. Anyone offering guidance would be in my eternal gratitude.

Tonight when I got home from work alexa called my son. What I asked her to do was turn on the lights. I'm not super sure I want alexa in charge of my dinner preparation.

Yes, my oven shipped for free.

Very sad. The FAQ still shows free shipping. https://support.anovaculinary.com/hc/en-us/articles/201725960-What-are-the-shipping-options-

The bottom is still a bit sticky though. No need to worry about the keyboard sliding around on the desk.

Keyboard is still working, thanks, although I just noted it was glued to the desk. Some years ago when Compaq was still in business they dumped their inventory of pre-Windows keyboards without the Windows key. I invested in a case of keyboards for a few dollars. For a while I gave keyboards away as gifts. Mai tai's or no, I am still well supplied with keyboards.

https://www.thermoworks.com/hitemp140 I used temperature strips but @pazzaglia was not convinced. I politely disagree with her.

There might well be free shipping. The FAQ says so. Ask.

You got off cheap. I went through the checkout just now as a test and they wanted to charge me $50.31 for FedEx Home. I would contact them. Maybe the same person who wrote the app does the checkout pages.

I shall never again spill my mai tai over my keyboard and down my pants. No, the Baccarat tumbler did not break.

Anova is still showing free shipping for the oven in the Continental US. https://support.anovaculinary.com/hc/en-us/articles/201725960-What-are-the-shipping-options-

Mine came with free shipping.

What do you consider overly sophisticated and expensive?
