A new month, some new titles: Fergus Henderson's "The Complete Nose to Tail" Kindle Edition $2.99US There may be a list of recipes but I couldn't get the "Look Inside" feature to work (the server kept timing out).

Well reviewed by Doctor Who fans. I am a US Prime member and the price you see may vary.

Dave, thanks for the correction. Which makes the constant improvement of the IP even more admirable. I wonder if the CEO has any say as to whether it will continue to be improved upon at a similar rate now that Corelle owns it.

Being a Kickstarter(?) campaign, the IP people had an incentive to keep improving the Pot and its functions to spur sales. Will this pattern of product improvement continue under Corelle? Will Corelle care enough to continually improve the I-Pot or will they reach a version of the I-Pot and say "Good enough" and leave it at that?

"Instant Pot is merging with the owner of Pyrex" Will this be a good thing?

Yes, the article confirming this was posted up above here (click).

If you go to Lay's web site (click) you can look through their current flavor offerings. Sadly, no wasabi ginger amongst them.

"Lay’s Adds Beer Cheese, Flamin' Hot Dill Pickle, and Lime & Sea Salt Potato Chip Flavors" If they show up in your area, please take one for the team and post a review.

So now I'm confused... "Amazon to open all-new grocery stores separate from Whole Foods" So Amazon is going to compete with itself/Whole Foods? The article mentions that the new stores will be smaller, may be cashless and will likely be able to sell stuff they can't sell at Whole Foods. This is so...odd.

What about buying something simple like a sink screen? (click) It'd prevent something small from going down the drain.

Sorry to quote myself but I have found it interesting that one of Souped Up Recipes videos was recently edited. This is the video in question: Authentic Szechuan Sauce For Dumplings, Noodles or Eggrolls https://youtu.be/qozPuF1lU4Q I had watched it before and was alarmed to see at the end of the video she said the sauce she made in the video could stay in the refrigerator for 2 months or at room temperature for 30 days. Which was insane. The recipe was chiles, garlic, salt and sesame oil and a couple of other things. There wasn't any acid to act like a pickling agent, and there wasn't nearly enough salt in the recipe to act like a preservative. Now when I view that video that "best if used by" info at the end was edited out.** **However, she may have edited the crazy info out of the video, but she forgot to edit the recipe which is posted in the Info section about the video below her name on the video page. You can see clear as day: I think someone sent her a message that her information about how long the sauce would last was on the counter/in the fridge would lead to food poisoning. She edited the video but not the printed recipe. It makes me wonder how much other misinformation is out there on YouTube.

"Here Are the 2019 James Beard Awards Restaurant and Chef Semifinalists" Does anyone have the complete list of all of the awards? I couldn't find them on the James Beard Awards web site.

From my daily BookBub email: From QVC, David Venable's "In the Kitchen with David: QVC's Resident Foodie Presents Comfort Foods That Take You Home: A Cookbook" Kindle Edition $2.99US No list of recipes. However, if you use the "Look Inside" feature and scroll down, you can see a few of the recipes from the cookbook. I m a US Prime member and the price you see may vary.

"Green beans, butternut squash recalled for listeria risk in 9 states; Walmart affected" See the article for specific bag info/codes.

" 'Game of Thrones' Oreos Are Coming" p.s. I saw the Easter Oreos in my Walmart grocery store but didn't bother buying them. Still haven't found the dark chocolate Oreos in my Walmart. Guess I will have to hit up Vons again.

"Jack in the Box has mashed up two fast food classics into one crazy item" According to the article, the reviews are mixed. They sound...interesting. Are there any Sacramento eG'ers who'd like to take one for the team?

"Bellisio Foods Recalls Boneless Pork Rib Frozen Entrée Products Due to Possible Foreign Matter Contamination" Emphasis added by me to highlight the product brand.
