Modernist Bread has a lengthy dissertation on crumpets vs. English muffins. Not to mention recipes. I have assayed neither crumpets nor English muffins, though they are on my list to do.

As I recall Joy of Cooking sixty years ago.

The echo clock will give a visual countdown timer display, sort of. But I don't have one. Yet. I'm waiting for version two or three. Problem with echo timers: I have at least seven echo devices. (Don't judge, it is for safety in case I fall.) Any echo is happy to set a timer. But if you interrogate the wrong device Alexa will cheerily inform you you have no timers set.

I found a duck once.

I made it back to Shoprite. It was a beautiful warm evening. The mixed game recipe I am making for calls for: 1 grouse 1 partridge 1 quail 1 pheasant However the recipe notes hare or venison may be substituted. I guess I'll make do with chicken breasts. And unlike last trip, Shoprite had hot peppers. Only Jalapeno sadly, but one cannot be too picky in these times.

Alexa keeps me company in the kitchen. And she doesn't drink that much. Sometimes I ask her to time things for me. More often I use this: http://amzn.com/B009EJE8TM

I hope you wore a mask.

I store my potatoes in the bedroom. Where it is cool and dark.

Exactly.

Given the choice I'd prefer cattle.

Not that I could read without a magnifier.

What's the difference between the red and blue?

I have yet to try sodium citrate. What bad results did you have with it?

Has anyone tried using the A4Box to heat a small pan, say for fondue?

I can't help but think the King Arthur catalog would work much better.

Last night... Bryani. (OK, so yogurt stuck to lid.) Served with grilled lamb.

I intentionally leave leftover pizza (should there be any) out at room temperature.

P.S. Calculator seems to work as expected with Safari on iPad.

This is with Windows 10 and IE11...

As registered above I am not a fan of refrigerated rice but I was faced with a predicament. I made a recipe of bryani from a Yoga Vithaldas recipe that is mostly rice. Good as it was I ate about an eighth of it and am left with leftovers. I blast chilled the bryani before I went to bed, and when I got up I portioned it into bags and vacuum sealed them. The bags are now blast frozen. I have no idea if the result will be eatable; I hope it will be safe. Any thoughts on how best to reconstitute the dish? Maybe boiling the bags and rebaking with added liquid? (Memo to self: next time half a recipe at most.)

Problem is the calculator shows no results for me. That's why I asked for help.

Unnatural child at best. The Scotts should reserve their peat liquor to heat their chilly crofts.

I think she means because of the other pandemic.

Let us know. (I would eat it.)
