I recall reading that some people cannot taste pepper.

Is your older boy home now?

Yes, limes, 90 cents each. Probably not local.

This afternoon on the way home from the doctor, I asked my friend to stop at a store called Brick Farm Market. I've gone past many times and I was curious, besides I needed limes. I've not had an experience quite like it. At the entrance was an assortment of pig parts: noses, ears, bits I never knew existed. The produce section would accommodate one customer at a time. Except for bananas and citrus produce was local, much of it from Brick Farms' own farm. I got tomatoes, some beautiful basil, and a cucumber.

And how do you shop for them?

Progresso Vegetable Classics Minestrone. Sorry no picture. Burned my tongue.

I had ordered a cobalt Le Creuset utensil crock to match my salt pig. The crock arrived smashed. And since cobalt is a long since discontinued color, that was the end of it. However imagine my good fortune. I was browsing replacements.com for pieces in my stoneware pattern, Blue Ridge by Iron Mountain. They had a recent addition of the pitcher in my pattern:

My guess is that freeze-tite is a thicker version of stretch-tite: https://www.stretchtite.com/our-products/ As I've noted previously stretch-tite works much better in the WRAP'N SNAP dispenser. I wonder if freeze-tite fits the same dispenser? Edit: I think not: stretch-tite is 12 inches wide, freeze-tite is 15 inches.

This afternoon a patron of the library where I work brought in a large box of chocolates for the staff. In celebration of the Indian moon landing. I can't wait until they get to Mars. (Pun possibly intended.)

That is the one.

The disc I mentioned has no holes in it if that helps.

Coincidence that I just took parmesan out of the refrigerator to grate for tonight's dinner. I use a box grater for a small amount. However a few years ago @andiesenji convinced me to get the Cuisinart parmesan disc for my food processor. If I were using the food processor the parmesan disc is the only way I'd do it. Any other disc is asking for an accident.

I was afraid the doohickey would hurt my hand. Flat head screwdriver worked just fine.

Would like to be snacking while eGulleting. This afternoon I received a shipment of Hubs peanuts. How does one open the can?

Of course. Salt lives in the bedroom. By daylight I was able to find the Diamond Crystal box a few moments ago.

As much as I would have liked to have photographed my new salt pig with salt, I can't find my box of salt.

You stole my question!

Not having a Miele I can't fully address the question. However after having three Cuisinarts and two Anovas I can say the APO offers more control than the Miele I saw in someone's kitchen. Neither the APO nor the CSO are perfect, but I'd find it hard to live without one.

I like Shoprite's house brand of organic yogurt.

NY Times reports today that Aldi is buying 400 more stores.

I would not have associated octopus with Mongolia?

So far I've spent days looking for my pearwood spoon.

A little Spot lives in my refrigerator too! I ordered (among other things) a BlueDOT with an ambient probe for the freezer problem, because whether the power goes out or not I'll have an audible alarm.

I have a freezer alarm on its way from Thermoworks.

I have ordered grouper from Citarella.
