  1. Sofrito stripped most of the seasoning though.
  2. Having a new DARTO paella, paella...
  3. @rotuts the smart plug will do all sorts of schedules but I am happy to let the Click and Grow control itself: 16 hours on, 8 hours off. I just needed a way to turn the Click and Grow on at the proper time to get the schedule started. Still, "Alexa, turn on the grow light!" has a certain ring to it. The DARTO pans are on the second shelf under the Click and Grow. I couldn't figure any other place to put them. The peel, which is about four foot long, is hanging at the far end of the Click and Grow. Don't worry, I saved six spaces for the peas.
  4. My guess is there is too little dough for the size of the bowl. I use a KitchenAid 5 quart bowl and for best results I have to scale up the MB recipes. Since that results in too much bread, often as not I make do and suffer.
  5. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ge_(unit)#Volume
  6. Here is my setup. Were it a telescope this morning was first light: Pizza peel and DARTO pans shown, umm, for scale. Peas seeds have not come. I started three basil pods last night. A feature of the Click and Grow is that the 16 hour light cycle begins from the time one plugs the unit in. I wanted the cycle to start just after sunrise. That means I would have to remove my bod from bed just after sunrise. I planned to set my alarm for 7:30 but I was sure there must be another way. I remembered I had a smart plug purchased a couple years ago for $5 as part of an amazon promotion. I had never used it. Just a few hours later and I was sitting down with my mai tai long after most revelers had gone to bed. Why choose the easy way when you can ask Alexa? So far, so good. The light turned on as promised. Now waiting for the seeds to sprout. One thing I haven't figured out is how to tell when to add more water?
  7. It depends on whose standard.
  8. Yes, and it's not necessarily a bad thing. Chickpea juice, if I may call it that, can be whipped like egg whites, sort of. As much as I like dried beans, canned beans are not the devil. Many a time I have given thanks for finding a can of beans in the bedroom.

    Dinner 2019

    That is the kind of friend to have,
  10. A favored oozing Brie type cheese of mine is Pierre Robert: https://culturecheesemag.com/cheese-library/Pierre-Robert Every other Brie I've bought is plastic. Pierre Robert is ripe in every sense of the word. Pierre might come up if you asked me to name my favorite cheese. But then again there's Parmigiano-Reggiano.
  11. Don't know how to phrase this. Last night I searched for a small brush that I intended to use for scrubbing a few clams. This is not a brush I use often. I searched through the kitchen drawers and cabinets, the bedroom and then the living room. And then I searched again. Then again is less likely locations. Tonight I found it! Sitting out in plain sight on the Boos kitchen cart.

    Dinner 2018

    Beautiful food. But I must say I thought a Wellington was what one ate when trapped in pack ice searching for the Northwest Passage, after all of one's toes were frozen off.
  13. Ten coats of seasoning. Note slight ding in rim of largest pan. Edit: now where can I store them?
  14. My Polyscience has a cycle for holding vacuum.
  15. I thought @chanjying meant the bag sealing function.
  16. Turn off the sealing function for doing this.
  17. What is the problem of over tempering? Setting up too soon?
  18. Brings back sad memories but I used to have a property with countless plants. I always wanted to try pie. My understanding was the apples were safe once cooked.
  19. Update: the new roll of Stretch-tite was trivially easy to fit in the dispenser. And for me that's saying something. I love my 7500.
  20. As someone who loves cats, the problem is getting the roll of toilet paper started, not getting the roll of toilet paper finished.
  21. Yours is the stuff made for the 7500! Oddly my Stretch-tite roll ran out last night for the first time since I've had the 7500. One roll has lasted not quite a year and a half. I have a spare roll if I can figure out how to get it in. You see I've not had a lot of practice. Now if I could only learn how to get a roll of toilet paper started. I'm pretty sure toilet paper is related to food.

    Fruit

    My Hamilton Beach Commercial makes no noise.
  23. Clogging the iSi is what I am afraid of. I did the experiment of placing a mold of chocolate in my chamber vacuum sealer and I indeed got bubbles. In that case, unintended bubbles.
