I found a cockroach in my American Airlines nuts tonight. Maybe not the fault of GNS but it lessened my enjoyment of same considerably.

I find that when buying even free range/organic eggs the cartons vary a lot in yolk color and flavor. But the yolks don't vary that much within a carton.

One of my friends at work is a volunteer at the farmers market. She reports that one of the vendors sells only mushrooms. The varieties vary but there are usually several to be had. Now if I could only get my body out of bed before noon...

I repeated the experiment. The ice from the tray on the bottom was clearer than the ice from the tray above it. However the difference was not as pronounced as yesterday.

The toast recipe is back up on the anova site...but it is a very different recipe: https://oven.anovaculinary.com/recipe/vRx7WOeVrgodAM0yePQ8

Fissler.

Pro is not the same as commercial.

Do you have one? I've had no problems with either KitchenAid. And I don't treat them nicely.

One was sitting on the floor of the freezer. The other was sitting on top of the first. Unfortunately I do not remember which was which. I plan to repeat the experiment.

Something tonight I had never seen before... For the ice that goes in my beverages (as opposed to the ice that goes in my shakers) I use miniature Japanese plastic trays with lids. The same trays I've been using for about ten years. As usual, the other night I filled two trays with the local Millstone River tap water -- quite potable to my taste but nothing special. Tonight when I went to make my Mississippi* punch, one tray was almost crystal clear. The other tray was solid white. The trays had been in my refrigerator freezer, not the blast freezer. The difference in the ice was striking. Thoughts? And, yes, I am still relatively sober. *longer than the Millstone but not as pretty.

I feel that if you've paid for a commercial mixer you shouldn't have to baby it. At speed 2 the hook does nothing. Even my almost 35 year old KitchenAid has never had a gear problem. (I think we've had this conversation before.)

Yes. I even returned one mixer because the bowl could not be adjusted properly.

Just out of interest, did you update the firmware?

Lidia Bastianich's tonno in salasa mimosa. A salt, acid, bitter garlic bomb which is not necessarily a bad thing. The rarest rawest tuna that has passed my lips.

That's why there's a little caution label there.

Here is the baking steel in the APO. And here is the just baked 881.3 g boule before removal. Note how lost it looks.

Sliced.

Most recent bread prior to APO. First loaf from the APO. Not quite a kilogram. After a week still good.

I looked on line and one site suggested Pink Lady or Granny Smith. I am fond of both but Pink Lady sounded interesting. Shoprite had a Pink Lady sign. The Pink Lady bin was empty.

On my Polyscience I use a 3 second seal.

When using the rear element fan speed is locked on high. I would try using the bottom element, no fan, no steam.

Rereading Modernist bread tonight, they suggest doubling the 1 kg recipe if using an 8 quart KitchenAid (as I was) in order to get the spiral hook to grab. Now that I have an Ankarsrum it is rather a moot point.

Liked for the burgers and mushrooms.

Two years, eleven months. Save the receipt.
