  1. Make one get up off her chair, you will? OK, 13.5 g Tang. Beranbaum stresses Tang is not optional because of the bright orange flavor. You might try substituting orange essential oil.

    Dinner 2019

    "REAL" could pertain to the trademark: http://realseal.com/real-vs-imitation @Margaret Pilgrim does the REAL seal appear anywhere on the packaging? From reading labels I've noticed Horizon goes in for additives.
  3. I went with Jude's Ice Cream, thanks. I bought Mastery of Sauces the other day when I saw it on sale. Haven't started to read it yet.
  4. Once upon a time I bought a jar of Tang for a Rose Levy Beranbaum recipe. The cake was great but after about twenty years the jar of Tang was not. I threw it out.
  5. I recently tried an envy apple and I was not impressed. Perfectly OK mind you, but nothing to write home about. My apple discovery this year was Lady Alice, but they are not in season. Which reminds me dinner tonight is an apple, though it is so old I'm not sure what variety it used to be.
  6. Sciatic nerve, may not be Kosher.
  7. Chapman’s ice cream? Can't wait to hear about the naan!
  8. Sous vide or Instant Pot?
  9. The amazon customer service is remarkably good, and remember rotuts gets a dividend.
  10. BaconPigs, HamPigs, and LongPigs.
  11. Parsley was the other son...this one is an even more picky eater.
  12. Not my favorite cut but I'd be inclined to roast it in the CSO. Or maybe on the rotisserie.
  13. My Cuisinart still has a place on the counter but I'm not sure how much longer I can justify it. The last time I used the Cuisinart I wish I hadn't. I don't have an attic.
  14. Back in the 1980's, before Lyme disease was popular, my sons and I went raspberry picking at a local farm. The quantity was overwhelming. My teeth have never been amenable to raspberry seeds, and having the technology, I pureed and strained the raspberries, and relegated them to the refrigerator. Unbeknownst to me my younger son had the idea to spin the puree in the Simac -- our resident ice cream maker at the time. As far as I know, no added sugar. I have not had better sorbet.
  15. @Kim Shook I'm not a mandolin person and I have all my toes. But I do own a Cuisipro box grater with a fixed blade that I find works well for cucumber. Possibly not as thin as you might like. Then again I have several slicing blades for my Cuisinart, starting I believe as small as 1 mm. But as I get older using the Cuisinart for slicing scares me more and more. And invariably the Cuisinart slices are uneven. I'm still searching for a method of slicing Spanish chorizo that does not involve the emergency room.

    Dinner 2019

    I have yet to figure out how to get my tortillas crisp.
  17. My mileage may vary. I have plenty of documents on CD-ROM that have turned to dust, and magnetic tape backups as well. (Floppies though are pretty reliable as long as you have a working supply of drives, controllers, and software.) Dead tree books are good but not perfect. The oldest in my collection, circa 1723, is brown and crumbling but still mostly readable. Many books published in my lifetime are not in great shape either. I admit I have reservations about Alexa but for me security trumped privacy. If I fall at home Alexa can get help. Perhaps I should say when I fall, as it is not an infrequent occurrence. And Alexa will read me a cookbook as I bleed to death. If you are concerned with privacy don't go near the library. Books are paired to an account. Our library uses Bluetooth to track patrons same as retail stores use Bluetooth to track customers. And community libraries don't retain old books. Older titles are weeded out constantly. Edit: and then there is always Microfiche... https://obsoletemedia.org/microfiche/
  18. The option is turned off by default but Safari also has a Send to Kindle feature. Somewhere I read that Alexa would do it if you asked her nicely. I have not been able to find the article again. And I'm not sure I fully trust her.
  19. Here's another possibly useful article: https://www.pcmag.com/news/334440/how-to-put-free-ebooks-on-your-amazon-kindle
  20. Wires covered in silicone...I have a Le Creuset silicone balloon whisk, though since the whole thing is covered in silicone I'm not sure it counts for the discussion. Plus the Le Creuset is handle heavy and so falls out of pots. More on topic I have a WMF silicone ball whisk. I have never used it.
  21. @rotuts I am an outsider looking in, however I believe the loin cannot be eaten because of the sciatic nerve. If the sciatic nerve is dissected out the loin may or may not be Kosher depending on one's beliefs. Once I invited some strictly observant Iranian-Jewish friends for dinner. From the library I obtained a book on Kosher practices. They were surprised at how different this Eurocentric book was from their own Kosher practices. I also once attempted to feed a visiting Israeli customer who disputed the jurisdiction of the local rabbi who had tried to help. Good luck. You'll need it.
  22. Here is the link for Send to Kindle by email: https://www.amazon.com/gp/sendtokindle/email In addition to the email option there are other Send to Kindle options that I have not tried. Edit: @Porthos here is the information for android devices... https://www.amazon.com/gp/sendtokindle/android
  23. OK, I took one for the team. From archive.org I downloaded a MOBI copy of Fisk + Ellenberger - An ice cream laboratory guide 1917 that @teonzo kindly linked. Using Send to Kindle I emailed the file to amazon. Each Kindle device or app has an associated email address that ends in @kindle.com. This address can be found or changed from the amazon kindle device settings page. The book then magically appeared in my Kindle content. I am now reading An Ice Cream Laboratory Guide on my iPad Kindle app. Interesting that while the book is over a hundred years old there is a vibrant discussion of the use of stabilizers in Philadelphia style ice cream.
  24. @Porthos you may be able to use amazon's Send to Kindle service to get the cookbook into your Kindle library. I say "may" because we are still not sure what your file format is. Type "send to kindle" in the search bar of amazon.
  25. Yes. And? Edit: amazon makes a tool called KindleGen that can convert EPUB format.
