[Bi-material Kitchen Tools - picks and pans]

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.

 

 

 

 

[Kosher meat on line ?]

@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.

In addition to the email option there are other Send to Kindle options that I have not tried.

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.

@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.

Half of those aren't e-book formats and it doesn't include EPUB, the most.common format.

 

Yes.  And?

 

 

Edit:  amazon makes a tool called KindleGen that can convert EPUB format.

Didn't you go through this before?

 

Yes.  A couple years ago the owner of the apartment complex objected to two white plastic planters that I had.  She had the rental agent make me get rid of them, which I did eventually.  At that time the renal agent told me the rest of my planters were fine.

My Kindle has hundreds of books on it and I've never bought anything from Amazon.

 

 

Different issue entirely.  A Kindle device can read books in several different file types besides Kindle books.

An unusual lacuna in your otherwise impeccable taste 

 

 

Hope I at least conveyed the import of your eG reference.  Though my dislike of cauliflower still stands.

eG cauliflower, will steam cook even on the ‘no steam” setting.  But chips aren’t that wet

 

Cauliflower is vile, eG, CSO, or not.

my library system doesnt have this book

 

bummer

 

Request the library purchase a copy.  Or sell your amazon stock and actually buy it for $0.99.

 

N.B. the dead tree version of The World Sauces Cookbook has not been officially released so it is not entirely surprising your library does not have it.

I actually made something from The World Sauces Cookbook - the Gochujang "Seong" sauce.  Had it with chicken  wings.  Highly recommended.

 

You talked me into it!  Though I doubt it will replace Raymond Sokolov's Saucier's Apprentice.

You can see the file in your Kindle app?

I thought all Kindle books had to be downloaded from amazon.  This true even of the Kindle books available to borrow from our library.

I've been to Stornoway a dozen times in the past (not recently) and never come across any such thing.

 

It's most famous expert is surely its black pudding. Even my Frenchish mother associates the place with BP and prefers it to the boudin noir she was brought up on.

 

Had I seen black pudding I would not have eaten it.

 

[Dinner 2019]

Dinner was going to be salmon and baked potato, but I found an avocado that needed urgently enjoying...

 

 

[Stranger in a Strange Land]

I remember Stornoway* more for fish & chips and the deep fried American style hamburger.

 

Thanks again, @liuzhou.

 

 

 

*I watched the moon landing in Stornoway, but that was my second trip.  (To Stornoway, that is.)

 Potatoes served up with a side of chicken thighs.   The green is there for your enjoyment. It was quickly disposed of before the meal was consumed.  The chicken thighs were seasoned with Trader Joe’s umami powder.  This time I went too light on the sprinkling and the flavour did not come through.

 

Out of interest, what's in Trader Joe’s umami powder?

I did appreciate the parsley.        Hope someone munched on it.

 

Some decades ago I was dining with my elder son.  He refused to eat the lovely flat leaved parsley I provided.  He said no one he knew ever had been served parsley as a vegetable.  Things were getting tense.  Finally he acquiesced he would eat the parsley if I could document some nutritionally valid reason.

 

This was before the internet.

 

OK.  About half an hour later from Laurel's Kitchen I demonstrated parsley was an outstanding source of vitamin C.  He was not impressed and refused to eat his parsley.  He admitted he was only buying time so he could enjoy his dinner in peace.  I have not forgiven him.
