The Other Japan - Amami & Kikaijima (+ Fujinomiya)
JoNorvelleWalker replied to a topic in Japan: Dining
The quaint television in your room reminds me of the movie Ringu. My traveling days are probably done but when I was younger I sought out beaches in remote locations, such as Scarp in Scottland and Loiyangalani on Lake Turkana. Not that it was Turkana then. Nile perch from the lake were good eating. -
I believe the Demeyere searing pan, which I have, is still available. I recommend it.

For a dorm room an A4Box would fry a much better egg.

I got a little dumpling maker: (eG-friendly Amazon.com link) Four of the last five nights have been dumplings for dinner. My coworkers fear for my health and safety sanity. Tonight I did not feel up to making dumplings, so dinner is cheese and crackers. Plus an organic Pink Lady apple.

How did it work out?

For the gearbox the instructions say "Do not immerse". The spokesperson says "Don't wet". There is a difference.

Earlier this week I set myself the task to shred some napa cabbage. Not feeling up to knife work, I assayed the shredder attachment for my Ankarsrum mixer. What a mess. Then I thought of my little Breville BSB530XL immersion blender. I used the food processor attachment for the BSB530XL. Perfectly shredded cabbage in seconds. Little wonder Breville is doing well in the kitchen appliance market. Yesterday I read an article in Bloomberg Businessweek on the success of Breville's business model. One of the few products they have not yet cracked is the kitchen mixer. But I have to say they have the immersion blender down perfect!

Where is the bridge and tunnel? -
Having had none of the above, could you explain more of the difference?

It was when I could walk. Maybe I'll be able to walk again by the time Whole Foods is built.

Not only on sale, Rao's was still expensive even with the senior citizen discount I forgot to mention.
-
Over a year since my last update... Two days ago amazon broke ground for the new Whole Foods near to where I live.

No ketchup and peanut butter?
-
Indeed, on sale. Still, expensive stuff.

Rao's is Campbell's now. I bought a jar of their sauce last night.

For my part I have made clear ice cubes twice. With my setup they are easy enough to make, but then a well meaning friend gave me a lot of frozen chicken soup.

Ground pork often has a sulfur-y smell when I open the package
JoNorvelleWalker replied to a topic in Kitchen Consumer
I had no ground pork, nor did the grocery store. However the package of ground wild boar I opened tonight had no sulfurous smell. -
You need clear ice cubes.

The stated CRI of 95 is most impressive and the price is eyewatering* for a non-smart LED. I now have the Soraa Vivid in my amazon saved for later list. The Soraa specs state for use in damp locations. *This from someone who yesterday purchased a $95.95 Hue smart bulb from Philips.

Another method: my freezer needs to be manually restarted. Thus it is easy to tell if it has lost power.
-
There is no outlet above or near the sink. And as it is I have the LED dimmed considerably. In addition I'd rather be routing low voltage around the sink rather than 110. Your mileage may vary.
-
For my kind friend's chicken soup I went with the roux. I thickened more than I intended, however it was quite tasty. Plenty of soup left to experiment.

I have the LED strip hooked up to a USB charger.

New range hood bulb works fine, although the higher color temperature takes a bit of getting used to. Meanwhile, on the subject of kitchen lighting, yesterday I installed an LED strip above my sink: (eG-friendly Amazon.com link)
