I shook my fist at Amazon for you for their temerity regarding such a poor sale price. How dare they.

Winner of the Gourmand World Cookbook Award, Best Bread Book, Rose Levy Beranbaum's "The Bread Bible" Kindle Edition $2.99US The Kindle edition is allegedly not very good (see the negative reviews on the Amazon info page for this cookbook).

Everyday I read through a lot of online news and sort of automatically set aside food recall articles to post here. No big deal.

"Frozen pork patties sold at Kroger, Walmart and other stores may contain rubber" Specifics of the product are mentioned in the article.

I posted this in another discussion regarding Mario Batali: "New York police have closed the investigations into Mario Batali"

I was going to suggest something like this...basically a heat sink. I would think there would much less temperature variance with a heat sink.

"5 New Oreo Flavors To Look Forward To In 2019" We've heard about the Dark Chocolate flavor coming. The article has photos and descriptions of all 5 of the new flavors: Dark Chocolate Carrot Cake Love, Oreo Easter Egg Oreo The "Most Stuf" Oreo

"Peeps-flavored coffee creamer does, in fact, taste like Peeps" Plus, there's a link at the end of the article for "Reese's Peanut Butter Cup" creamer. Life just can't get any better than this.

"[Yahoo Finance] Exclusive: Amazon eyes closed Sears stores for Whole Foods expansion" I question the wisdom of opening a Whole Foods in a mall when malls are supposedly dying. But they probably know what they're doing...they're Amazon, afterall.

@Thanks for the Crepes, I am no fan of lima beans can only hope burning those nasty little legumes improved their flavor.

Thank you for that. I guess McD's is still trying to find that something "new" that will become another Egg McMuffin.

This is interesting (to me, at least)... This morning going through the McDonald's drive-thru I noticed that their new Triple Stack breakfast sandwich was no longer on the menu. As I paid for my breakfast at the window, I asked about it and was told it was no longer being offered. When it first appeared it there was no mention of it being a "for-a-limited-time-only" item. So it makes me wonder if perhaps the franchisees were getting the poor end of the deal with that sandwich and they pulled it from the menu to save money. If anyone hears anything about this, please post.

Currently snacking on Blue Diamond Wasabi & Soy Sauce almonds. It's a test of my restraint. I could eat the entire can in one sitting...but won't.
