    Dinner 2023

    Seldom do I eat at a restaurant but my granddaughter is moving back to South Carolina: Crispy Tangerine Flounder for my son. Lobster, eel, avocado roll for me. Sushi for my granddaughter. Seaweed Salad for my granddaughter's girlfriend. My daughter-in-law also had sushi, but by the time I got to her plate it was too late.
  2. I used to have a head on shrimp as a pet, so I don't eat them.
  3. Batch 29: 90g blanched Spanish almonds 90g apricot kernels 350g water 280g sugar 30ml Wray & Nephew Overproof 30ml orange flower water Thankfully this time I have limes.
  4. I also have a large (as well as a small) KitchenAid. Modernist Bread has a short discussion of the Ankasrum in the section on types of mixers.
  5. https://forums.egullet.org/topic/159886-ankarsrum-mixer-of-many-names/
  6. You may not remember the old Popeye cartoon where Popeye is selling refrigerators to Inuit. As always things were saved by spinach. The phrase "like selling iceboxes to Eskimos" means something not likely to work.
  7. It is indeed a paper bag. Nowhere in the GripStic literature that I've found does it say GripStic clips don't work with paper bags. The replacement clips that came today work with paper bags.
  8. Seriously, doesn't that get flour all over your books?

    Dinner 2023

    Sadly, Lasagne-Style soup was one of the few Progresso varieties I really did not care for. At least I shall not starve till morning.

    Dinner 2023

    It was all I could muster, but a most welcome can of Progresso Lasagne-Style soup.
  11. USB? I thought having a spring was high tech.
  12. Ordered. We shall see.
  13. I can report the nuts.com jumbo Virginia peanuts are much improved tonight. My mai tai is not bad either. I fear some of the drugs I'm taking may be messing with my sense of taste. The pills certainly give me a dry mouth.
  14. These are the clips I have on order... (eG-friendly Amazon.com link)
  15. Could you share a link to what you mean? The zip lock bags I think of are much smaller.
  16. I bought the GripStic clips specifically for that bag of Xochitl corn chips. For most bags I use clips I get from King Arthur.
  17. I wanted to like the GripStics, I really did. Employing all my strength I couldn't get this one on any further than an inch or so. GripStics are going back. Another brand of clips are on their way from amazon.
  18. I've read reviews, I've watched videos.
  19. This afternoon I took delivery of a set of GripStic bag clips. I could be stupid and don't know how to use them, but at the moment I am profoundly disappointed. Not to mention I now have a bag of smashed up broken corn chips.
  20. I like Planter's well enough, or at least I used to. I stopped buying Planter's peanuts after I complained a jar was rancid, and the rep pointed out the best by date had expired. It is true the best buy date had expired, but only by a week or two.
  21. No Bluetooth on my APO, nor I'm pretty sure on anyone's.
  22. Peanuts were not all that great. Switched to almonds.
  23. I noticed this afternoon that Cooks Illustrated gave their award to the APO. A chicken thigh is cooking in my APO at the moment.
  24. With my mai tai, a treat I've not had for months...peanuts.
  25. I apologize, this would be funnier with a photograph. Today I received a shipment from one of my favorite vendors, nuts.com. In addition to the free bag of cashews, there was a mysterious inflated plastic bag taking up space in the shipping box. The label reads "Invisible Peanuts, ingredients: air". It broke me up.
