I just realized that I haven't ever decalcified (???) mine. I remember @Shelby explained the whole process awhile back and I meant to do it then and it just didn't happen.
I decalcified my first CSO once to go through the exercise. If you fill the tank only with decalcified water there is no need.

So, is the consensus that the CSO is going to be discontinued? If so, Mr. Kim says we should buy another one. Do y'all really think it is ok to buy refurbished?
@KennethT - where are you finding a refurbished one for $125?
The CSO is being discontinued any time now because Cuisinart knows the Anova Precision Oven is about to be released. Any time now.
Listen to your husband. But I'd buy new for $199. That three year warrantee got me a free replacement.

Just wanted to pop in and say I'm sorry for not making bread for a couple weeks. Life has been busy. I hope to resume in the next few days

Orange soda and Mountain Dew are fit only for teenagers.
Yes, but Mountain Dew has serious caffeine.

I have all these recipes from one of the River Cafe Books - it was a baking book - I baked a whole lot from it one summer up here. But of course with the cost of nut flours I don't use a lot of the recipes. However I seem to have around 60 kg of various nut flours right now - so here we go! This is the Pistachio Almond Loaf Cake.
And this is my breakfast.
Ketchup?

A favorite summer meal:
Tuna and beans. In this case Ranch Gordo Marcella beans.

@JoNorvelleWalker Acme is still present in Northern NJ— specifically Morris Plains. “Acme” was my first actual word as a child outside of yes, no and forms of mom and dad.
I haven’t been in their store on probablt 15 years but it changed a bit since my childhood. I have had them delivered via Instacart.
A&P I remember fondly as the one that was in Morristown (and is now a Whole Foods) sold alcohol so I could shop there for food while in college and buy beer and have my friends give me money back for it when my parents thought I was just getting food. 🙈
Jeff who? Corzine?
I also foundly rememner Grand Union in Basking Ridge.
In this case Jeff Bezos.
I do have somewhat fonder memories of Acme from when I was growing up in Philadelphia in the 1950's.

As an aside I just went to the McCaffrey’s website and read that they are in the process of rolling out online shopping. If they can make it work it will be an interesting alternative for me.

I can't say I love Shoprite either but Shoprite is what's here. And as I've seen, Shoprite stores vary all over in quality depending on who owns them.* They are a franchise operation. The Shoprite where I live has gotten better over the years but they still lack things like frozen peas.
We used to have a Grand Union and a Food Town.** Grand Union went bankrupt a quarter century ago and I'm not sure what happened to Food Town but they went the way of the dodo when Shoprite moved in. After Grand Union closed, many of the Grand Union employees went to Shoprite and many went to a higher end store in Princeton called McCaffrey’s. I still see the kind people I knew from Grand Union when I shop at Shoprite or McCaffrey’s (which I dearly wish was in walking distance). For a while Shoprite employees told me working conditions were so bad at the local Shoprite that they shopped at the Shoprite next further north (different owner). But now people tell me they prefer to shop at this Shoprite because there is much greater selection than at other Shoprite stores. As long as you don't want frozen peas, of course.
Jeff has promised us a new Whole Foods, in walking distance for me. All the Township approvals are in place. I only hope I live so long. Shoprite could use some competition.
*over forty years ago but the manager of one local Shoprite store I informed I would never shop there again, ever. And I have not.
**and then there were an A&P and an Acme but less said the better. Anyone else remember "WEO"?

That sucks. Does it mean straight dirt on the balcony?
Seriously I don't know. I'd be the first to admit I have a lot of plants in a small space, but I am not the only one with a lot of plants who lives here. Two years ago the rental agent told me that two of my planters needed to be removed by order of the owner because she (the owner) thought they looked too heavy. At that time the rental agent said the rest of my planters were fine. Years ago I checked with the township building inspector who told be these balconies were rated for an obscene amount of weight.
However even if I wanted to remove the planters, the larger ones I could not move myself. I'm more physically challenged than I used to be. And at the moment I am terribly upset, more so than I wish to admit on a public forum.

My first tomatoes are turning red.
I came home tonight to letter from the rental agent to please remove the planters from my balcony immediately.

...because it is so difficult to break spaghetti in half. LOL
I thought typical grocery store pasta in the US was already cut in half. I remember grocery store spaghetti being much longer than it is now, sold folded in half. Quite seriously.

Here you go.
With its honey The Last Wynd looked a little sweet, however I was enchanted by the Dernier Mot variation. Hardest part was locating the coup to drink it from. I used Chartreuse Green V.E.P., Luxardo, and Neisson l'Esprit. My go to white mai tai rhum is La Favorite Blanc but this called for l'Esprit.

Ok, there are rules associated with our pig roast.
It is a 'picking' pig. This means one can pull meat from between the shoulders and the ham...basically the belly.
You can't use anything except your fingers. No napkins as an aid. No forks or knives. Just fingers. Someone showed up with a hemostat one year. It which was promptly confiscated.
The reason being, if it doesn't come off easily, then the meat isn't done.
Usually the pig is picked clean with the ribs showing...ribs are fair game also.
The cracking is usually shared with early comers but this year I think our family/helpers ate most of it 😬..there were 7 of us.
No feeding the dog (we usually hang a sign around the dog's neck "I hate pig") 😃
In the morning you know you've been to a pig roast because your fingers are burnt, you smell like smoke and you are a little hung over.
Here is a picture of a friend just getting started. She has a nice pull of belly going.
How fast is the spit rotating in that picture?

I jumped on the prime day deal for The Baking Bible. When I entered the ISBN into Eat Your Books, I was told that The Baking Bible book had already been entered in my bookshelf. Yes, I own it. Amazon let me cancel.

It'll be nice to have a water reservoir that's not all green with algae - at least for a little while!
keep the old reservoir
take the cap off
and keep it of course
then get a wonderful brush
and deal w the algrea in the old water container
or get a bit of beach , full strength
w some hot water
put that in the old reservoir
and while hot
put your palm over the top
and Shake , Shake , Shake.
the drain , and let the rest of the bleach in container
evaporate.
you might rise the container after its dry
but use that
cover your water container w a towel
tea or not
so no sunlight
gets in the old container
no more algae.
seee ?
As I recall I used a bit of bleach for the algae problem. Or you could think of it as umami.

Speaking of books, as I was eyeing a certain baking book I spied an upcoming prime day deal on Mo Williams' Waiting Is Not Easy!

The Last Wynd
Recipe? Rum, Maraschino, Chartreuse, how can you go wrong?

The website has said discontinued for ages. I think they are just confused by their own model numbers.
Anyhow, I have my spare.

Manitoulin — Life on the level
in Food Traditions & Culture
Posted
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.
