Maybe one too many glasses but I think you mean "PM".

Wait...isn't it supposed to be winter there??

I usually patronize nuts.com but I'm put off they have not had a sale in some while. Until they do* I am purchasing my peanuts from Shoprite. *or until I run out of red walnuts

I've used mine exclusively for nuts but I'd love to read along!

Remarkably it is the peanut course here at the moment.

No, the commercial manual model 932: http://www.hamiltonbeachcommercial.com/en/manual-citrus-juicer-932.html Made since 1932, NSF, no batteries required. I use mine every day. I removed the silly drip cup and just place a measuring cup underneath. The business end is heavy chrome plated zinc. Base is coated cast iron. Strainer is stainless steel. Best part is it doesn't take a lot of strength.

Kerry have you ever tried the Hamilton Beach? About the only appliance I love as much as my CSO.

Down to $236.00 on amazon...

Bazillion is a strong word but I have them on amazon subscribe and save. They may or may not be better. I note the US Brita filters look an awful lot like the prior generation from Brita DE. And c) I don't want to have to stock two kinds of filters. I drink my tap water as well. Although the CSO is thirsty too. However the primary reason for obtaining the second pitcher is to test double filtration for making stock.

Yes it is the Elemaris XL. And yes, there is a reason, the Mavea filters I use don't fit the US Brita pitchers.

My Brita filter pitcher arrived today from amazon UK. Looks just like the Mavea pitcher that I purchased a couple years ago from amazon US. It's a pain that they left the US market. No energy at the moment to set up and test. Will try to report back later.

To hold sugar cubes and the absinthe spoon.

Couldn't you just borrow an autoclave? Camelcamelcamel shows the 21 quart All-American was $87 new on amazon US fifteen months ago. You might wait for prime day.

I did not come from the land of deep fried Mars bars.

Oh it looked open air! P.S. I never get used to it. Having been around long before residential air conditioning was common. I was 32 before I had air conditioning.

That's about what we had yesterday. I did not eat outside.

Superlative! How beautiful! (I wonder about the temperature and humidity however.)

What variety of tomato do you grow that ripens fruit so early?

Hot weather has not been helping my tomatoes. Particularly the plant closest to the air conditioner exhaust. More than a few flowers have turned brown and died. Still no sign of red. My blueberries are all stripped except for the branches I wrapped in frost cover and kept well sprayed. Did I ever mention I hate birds? According to the NY Times the secret to sweet blueberries is to leave them on the bush a few extra days after they have ripened. Really. I wouldn't know. Also I tried tying up my poor cosmos. They look pitiful. Next year perhaps I'll plant them with some support.

Or the Society for Culinary Arts & Letters might need a northern headquarters.

One of my woks is made in Japan: http://amzn.com/B016B9ZZ12

Same experience here. Quite a disappointment.

@HungryChris hoagies are better.

It's been impossibly too hot to bake, so (evening) lunch at work was a Wawa hoagie*. Dinner was the remainder of said hoagie. And an ear of corn by the method of @nathanm https://forums.egullet.org/topic/144300-sous-vide-recipes-techniques-equipment-2011/?do=findComment&comment=1810427 *Wawa is good, my bread is better.

A storm came through this evening and seems to have taken down one of my blueberry bushes. Or it could have been the birds. Also my cosmos.
