I also whipped my cream in the iSi. The valve stuck open. It was entertaining if nothing else.

I did indeed whip my egg whites in the Ankarsrum plastic bowl. It does an exceptional job. (If anyone is wondering the yolks went in the KitchenAid.)

I will never again mix up my canisters of flour.

The joke is on me tonight. I anovaed up three bags of spare ribs. The blast chiller has my apple sour cream souffle and an iSi canister for whipped cream. There is room in the chiller for the spare ribs but I don't have a clean hotel pan to put them in. I'd rather not put the ribs on top of the souffle. I am too lazy to wash an hotel pan by hand, so one is on order from amazon. Every well appointed kitchen should have at least two blast chillers.

@Franci, any further thoughts on these machines? Stirring at the stove is becoming more and more difficult for me. Amazon has one that (eG-friendly Amazon.com link) works with induction but the minimum quantity is listed as 1kg. The Italian amazon site offers a smaller size as well. Tonight I plan to try polenta in my precise heat mixing bowl, but I am not sure it will end well.

Shouldn't that be Chocolate Doctor Strange?

As best I can remember dinner was APO chicken, mashed potatoes, and frozen peas. Liter of methode rotuts. Which might have been alright except for the Mississippi punch. Mississippi punch. What better beverage for hope and reconciliation? I was going to say something. Anyhow eventually my arms and hands cramped and that effectively ended dinner and left me typing with two fingers. My apple sour cream souffle is in the blast chiller. Tomorrow is another day. At least until my hands uncramp. If I can hold a toothbrush, maybe I will brush my teeth. Edit: spelling. Maybe I should just have let it be.

Haven't had babies in a while.

Who is scared of wheat?

Correct me if I'm wrong but I'm pretty sure steel cut oats were not a thing in Philadelphia of the '40's and '50's. I do remember demanding pie for breakfast. My mother replied "I am from New England." "Actually they do eat pie for breakfast in New England." "But this is not New England."

So sorry, we can understand how the experience has warped your life. Once during a blizzard I made it to Grand Union (this was before the days of Shoprite). The milk shelves were empty and bare but there was a hand wrought sign: "Milk $5, plus your first born child." I turned sadly to my younger son: "I brought the wrong one."

When it comes to oat porridge I flock groats with my Ankarsrum and prepare the porridge with salt and water. Not as fond of steel cut oats, though I occasionally have steel cut as an alternative.

I tried farro, didn't care for it. Though I do like farro soup.

Mine was about $670.

Since the weight is distributed over pretty much the full width of the interior I guessing it should be OK. I'm guessing.

I haven't been on food stamps for some years. However I would note from experience that even the most generous of food banks are of no use to poor people who have no way to get food home. The whole system of welfare and unemployment assistance is broken.

It looks like she drains her congee at the end. Is this correct?

Don't know. The plastic is Tritan. Ankarsrum claims the mixer will whip 1 to 18 egg whites. I seldom do egg whites but I'm planning on an egg white recipe this weekend. Someone, I'm thinking it might have been Cook's Illustrated, experimented and found a bit of oil was not as disastrous to egg white cookery as previously believed. It may sound like a recent election but at this time I am not sure whether I shall use the Arkansrum or the KitchenAid. Considering US prices, in my opinion there are two use cases for the Arkarsrum: either you need an attachment that KitchenAid does not offer (such as the flocker) or you bake bread. If you bake bread you will kiss your Arkansrum mixer.

If you have a blast chiller there is little need for an ice bath. Tonight's wine is in mine at the moment.

You should be OK on the dimensions. I'm using a 12 inch by 12 inch baking steel. One question: what is the weight? That might be a limitation.

My Frigidaire is quiet. No complaints with that. Unfortunately a cycle takes two hours and it doesn't get the dishes clean.

What evidence have you that @feste uses extract?

While you're there Jeff hopes you will pick up some stuff for dinner.
