Lay's Taco Flavored Potato Chips. They're "meh". They do have a taco-ish flavor (cumin-y) and a little tiny kick to them. Their biggest fault is that they're not ridged/Ruffle-like chips. Just plain old flat potato chips.

My local Walmart Neighborhood Grocery store just doubled the amount of parking spaces for "curbside" orders, going from 10 spaces to now 20 spaces. I wonder if the extra spaces will stick around once the pandemic is over. Maybe Walmart is hoping customers will stick with it even when they start charging a fee for the service (it's free now). And more parking spaces for curbside pickup means I have to park farther away from the store entrance when shopping there. At least I'm getting more exercise now. Thanks, Walmart.

I think (men) also designed the motor (which is an additional cost, of course) you can attach to the pasta machine so you don't have to deal with a crank.

Amazon has already said they will currently only fill "essential" orders and the rest can wait. I've stopped all my orders until saner times.

Another one from my BookBub email and the rest were stumbled over on Amazon. A couple may have been posted before: "Do You Know the Muffin Pan?: 100 Fun, Easy-to-Make Muffin Pan Meals" Kindle Edition $1.99US Use the "Look Inside feature and scroll down to see recipes.

So GBP = Harbinger of Doom? You can freeze them and when it's time for you to make stock, throw them in. They won't be eaten but will add flavor to the stock.

My mileage varies on this. I was grocery shopping last weekend and got in line to checkout when a much older gentleman stood beside me (what social distancing?) and told me to watch his cart (which he parked behind me) as he needed to run and get a green bell pepper from the produce department. He barley made it back in time to checkout after me. Yakking with people on his way back to the checkout and totally ignoring social distancing the entire time. Old. Young. Idiots come in all ages.

Another from my BookBub email and one I found this morning: Matt Pellegrini's "The Art of Baking Bread: What You Really Need to Know to Make Great Bread" Kindle Edition $1.99US NOTE: One reviewer complained that the measurements in the cookbook are in grams, not Imperial measurements. "The Great Holiday Slow Cooker Book: 32 Easy, Delicious Recipes Worth Celebrating in Every Size of Machine : A Cookbook" Kindle Edition $1.99US Use the "Look Inside" feature to see the short list of recipes and scroll further down to see some recipes. Oddly, they offer multiple versions of their recipes that depend on the size of your slow cooker. You can see what I mean using the "Look Inside" feature to see the differences. I am a US Prime member and the price you see may vary.

Regarding the scarcity of yeast, from Food 52: "Here's Why All the Yeast Is Sold Out Right Now" And if you're out of yeast and there's a brewery in your area, they can be a source for yeast: "San Diego brewery offers up yeast to make bread at home"

Just posted on the Dinner thread about my belated slow cooker corned beef. I never soak my corned beef either. As for the little package of spices., if you prefer your own spices, then add your own and get down with your bad self! There was one time I opened my package of corned beef and couldn't find the usual enclosed spice package. So I thought "How hard can this be?" and added some pickling spices I had on hand. I should have measured better...it ended up tasting like bread & butter sweet pickles! Once the corned beef is done in the slow cooker, I use the cooking water in another pot to boil the potatoes and carrots and the cabbage is done in its own little pot since it would just shred if boiled along with the potatoes and carrots. My slow cooker is actually a Westbend brand cooker. The rectangular cooking pot can be removed from the heating "griddle" and used on the stove top, which comes in handy.

Had mine late, as well. It was a case of #FirstWorldProblems. I only have my small freezer atop my refrigerator. I bought two Corned Beefs, planning to cook one and freeze the other. But didn't have the room due to a small Prime Rib roast from Xmas in the freezer. So for St. Patrick's Day, I had Prime Rib and the fixin's (with my rub concoction and Martha Stewart's oven times and temps). It was superb. Once the Prime Rib was out of the freezer, I put one of the corned beefs inside. This past Sunday I finally made the other corned beef in my slow cooker served along with potatoes and carrots, No cabbage because Walmart had jacked up the price to $1.57/lb, the rat bastards!

Sadly, no. Not crispy at all. Makes me think it was either under a heat lamp or nuked.

I am an idiot. This was supposed to go in the Dunkin Donut discussion! My apologies for being distracted and making the error.

I tried the Bag 'o' Bacon. It's good in a sort of protein/Keto sort of way. As you can see it's 8 half-pieces (interesting that they're torn, not sliced). If you can't take spicy things, you may want to pass on this breakfast item. The cherrywood smoked bacon has a sweet coating (brown sugar?) along with a heavy dose of black pepper. The spiciness from the black pepper built up over time as I ate the bacon pieces. In a breakfast sandwich, I don't think it'd be considered spicy but by themselves it's a different story.

I noticed that the hoarders that stripped the grocery store shelves of wheat-flour pasta left behind the alternative flours pastas (lentil pasta, rice pasta, etc). Thank goodness the hoarders haven't expanded their culinary horizons.
-
Well, if those stores are anything like my local Walmart Grocery store, Nathan's are quite a bit more expensive. It's no wonder they're still sitting on the shelf. I guess even hoarders like to save money..

"Taco Bell introduces toasted breakfast burritos to fend off Wendy's and McDonald's" McDonald's added new chicken breakfast sandwiches and now Wendy's has debuted breakfast, as well. Are these Taco Bell added items enough to stave off the competition?

"McDonald’s Added 2 New Burgers To Its Line-Up Including A Double Big Mac That Boasts 4 Patties" McDonald's is ripping off In 'n' Out's 4x4. So much for innovation, McD's!
