  1. My kind of dinner! Maybe that's why I had to buy myself some new jeans for Christmas.
  2. Fantastic, I would never have guessed in a million years. A very specific one use product that would come in handy in many other ways. Wasteful, I think not. I would love to have one.
  3. It's a little small but it would be great for making refried beans.
  4. Now that is thinking outside the box! As for me, I give up. I am now anxiously awaiting the answer.
  5. it looks like it would be perfect to remove the marrow from bones, however, although it is small, they would have to be quite large bones. It would also work to tamp meat or something else into a grinder or shredder.
  6. It's not got a blade so it has to be something soft. I would say lemon, plantain or kiwi fruit.
  7. It sounds like it could be used for taking the core out of some kind of fruit or vegetable.
  8. The only thing I can think of is that it would be handy to mark something into 6 portions.
  9. I think you're right. It is this one.
  10. I haven't a clue. But while searching for it on the internet I was sent to a wholesale page for items from China and I couldn't believe the prices. For instance, a tea infuser that I just bought for $4 retails for $0.03. However, I would have to buy 1000 of them.
  11. My recipe calls for 3 tablespoons of yogurt culture. I always saved mine in some little caper jars that are 3.5 oz size. Small jars thaw quicker in a cup of warm water.
  12. That bun looks delicious.
  13. If your meals get any better looking, I'll have to read my tablet with a towel handy to wipe off the drool.
  14. If you are able to keep things frozen, you can freeze your culture in small jars and keep it for several months. In fact, it is a good idea to always keep some of your culture in the freezer as a backup. I found a little jar in the back of my freezer that I think had been there for about 2 years. I thawed it out and it worked perfectly. This also works great for sourdough starter. Hope you're back on the grid soon.
  15. Just happened to have one.
  16. Thank you for the recipe, it looks great and I intend to try it. It seems to be well researched and the directions are simple and well explained. I make bread pudding and cheesecake in my electric pressure cooker all the time and I have never had any problems. The rule about using utensils in the pressure cooker is if you can use it in your oven it is safe in the pressure cooker. The pressure cooker never gets over about 250 degrees and your oven gets much hotter than that. Here is a picture of some of the things that I use in my pressure cooker. I use the clear glass bowl the most because it has a Snap-On plastic lid for leftovers. Here is a picture of the cheesecake that I make in mine.
  17. This looks delicious. I have the pork, chayote, and mushrooms in the fridge and I have an instant pot. Is there any chance that you would share the recipe to go with them? It would sure be appreciated.
  18. I bought some gorgeous shrimp at the Farmers Market yesterday and I wanted to make something Chinese with them. Not being able to use garlic, onions or peppers kind of limits me in what I can make. I wanted something simple and I found this recipe for scrambled eggs and shrimp. It doesn't sound like much, but it was delicious. I served it with an Asian flavored slaw.
  19. You're probably right. I worked with a chef that used it as a tasting cup. But come to think of it, he wasn't that good a chef either.
  20. There is one on eBay here. I recognized it from when I worked in restaurants.
  21. It is a sommelier cup.
  22. I made these from your recipe and served them as part of a Chinese luncheon that I had this week. They were a big hit. One of the nibbles that I served beforehand was the sweet potato candy cut into strips. They ate it all.
  23. You just beat me to it.
  24. This looks great. I've been hesitant about fixing pork chops in the IP because they can get so dry. You've given me courage.
  25. Thank you so much for this. It's nice to see China through your eyes. I can see why you love it.
