This is not the usual sale-priced bargain cookbook. Its price is slightly higher. America's Test Kitchen's "Bread Illustrated: A Step-By-Step Guide to Achieving Bakery-Quality Results At Home" Kindle Edition $3.99US I don't think this is one of their recipes-culled-from-another-cookbook cookbooks. The book info says it's 432 pages long. It's unfortunate there's no listing of the recipes inside. I am a US Prime member and the price you see may vary.

@Shelby I was visiting my Mom and was washing dishes with her right there in the kitchen cooking at the stove when I broke her 2 cup Pyrex measuring cup (dropped it in the sink). She told me that she had received it as a wedding gift in 1956. To say I felt bad would be an understatement. I ended up going on eBay and even Etsy and found a vintage Pyrex 2 cup measuring cup. It was the same make and model as the one she had had. I didn't tell her I bought it and just stuck it in her cupboard where she used to keep the original so it would be a surprise. Then my oldest idiot brother spilled the beans, so to speak, so there was no surprise. She was grateful, nonetheless. I hope your day goes better! (Besides, you know the chili will only taste better once you freeze it and you get it out again to eat it).

"Love Nutella? M&M's is finally coming out with a hazelnut spread flavor" Something to look forward to?

It looks like all of the recent sale cookbooks are no longer on sale. I found this one this afternoon: "Donabe: Classic and Modern Japanese Clay Pot Cooking" Kindle Edition $1.99US Use the "Look Inside" feature to see the list of recipes. I am a US Prime member and the price you see may vary.

"Mauna Loa releases full list of mac nut products recalled over potential E. coli concerns" There is a list of the contaminated Mauna Loa macadamia products at the bottom of the article (that can be enlarged). My sister-in-law makes some holiday baked goods using the nuts and I figured I would post this in case anyone has bought or was thinking about buying the nuts ahead of time.

I found a subsequent article mentioning the stores where the recalled Cargill beef were sold at: "Target, Sam's Club among stores affected by 132,000 pound ground beef recall"

It looks like Aldi's is going to be joining the "home delivered groceries" market. "Aldi to add home delivery to St. Louis by Thanksgiving" I stumbled across this story through Google News. Sorry if there's a survey pop-up. Lie through your teeth or whatever, to get past to the article. No harm no foul.

One stumbled upon this afternoon: Alice Waters' "My Pantry: Homemade Ingredients That Make Simple Meals Your Own" Kindle Edition $2.99US I am a US Prime member and the price you see may vary.

"Here’s the recall list for over 130,000 pounds of Cargill ground beef potentially tainted with E. coli" See the article for specific products subject to recalls.

This came from my morning Bookbub email: "Chinese Street Food: Small Bites, Classic Recipes, and Harrowing Tales Across the Middle Kingdom" Kindle Edition $1.99US I found it interesting that the recipe index was in Chinese as well as English. Use the "Look Inside" feature to see the recipes. I am a US prime member and the price you see may vary. edited to add that on the Kindle Deals page there's a section that states "Up to 80% off 100+ top cookbooks" which explains why their cookbooks-on-sale pages jumped up to 10 (there's 9 today) up from 1 page earlier this month.

One of the reviews for "Cooking at Home with Bridget and Julia" states "Nice book but no new recipes. All of these are in The America's Test Kitchen Cookbook." I'm glad I didn't spring for it.

"New birthday cake-flavored Oreos celebrate Mickey Mouse's 90th birthday!" The release date for these limited edition Oreos will be September 24th. As they say, "while supplies last".

Here's a link: https://www.amazon.com/s/ref=lp_11552285011_nr_n_6?fst=as%3Aoff&rh=n%3A11552285011%2Cn%3A156154011&bbn=11552285011&ie=UTF8&qid=1537376518&rnid=11552285011 Go to Amazon and select their Kindle Bookstore (Departments>Books & Audible>Kindle books) Once you go to the Kindle Books page, click on "Kindle Book Deals" located in center of the the space just under the black section at the top of the web page. Once you're taken to the Kindle Deals Page, on the left hand side you will see a list of topics/categories. Click on Cookbooks, Food & Wine and those deals having to do with that topic will be presented to you. edited to add, today the Kindle Deals "Cookbooks, Food & Wine" listing shows 10 pages of results, where it was previously 9 pages. So someone is adding deals! edited to correct spelking and also to add, it looks like they added a bunch of American Test Kitchen cookbooks. Some are actual cookbooks (like their slow cooker cookbook) and others are "light" books, meaning they've culled recipes from their other past cookbooks and made a "new" cookbook. These books are easy to recognize by the lower number of recipes included in those cookbooks. Also, some of the regular ATK cookbooks are not bargained priced. For example they will be priced $3.99US instead of $2.99US or lower.

This screams "holidays" to me (that's a good thing). It looks like snow crystals on blue. I imagine red would be lovely, too. Great work!

So the Kindle Deals for cookbooks went from one page to nine pages all of a sudden. The listings may be worth looking through as I didn't post everything that may be of interest (some listings were slightly higher than bargain-priced, too). You may have to break open your piggy banks. Look...it's Vivian and Dorie!

Nigella Lawson used to sell a set of measuring cups where the fill line indicating the measurement was painted on the inside below the lip of the cup. Such a disconnect between the use of the cup and the design of the cup. It's nice to see the Pioneer Woman carrying on this absurd tradition.

When I was growing up we had Price Clubs, founded by Sol Price (who started the famous southern California grocery store chain called Fed Mart). Then Costco bought Price Club and it was Costco-Price Club for a while before dropping the "Price" from the name. So my family has been long time Costco shoppers. I wonder if my mom's love of their sauerkraut hot dogs from their food court is the real reason we kept renewing our membership. I was drawn to Amazon as an alternative to iTunes. Then found their book section and I've never left. The one thing we've learned about Costco is if you see it and think you want it, buy it because you won't see it again.

Three bargain-priced cookbooks and one a scosh higher: "The Beekman 1802 Heirloom Dessert Cookbook: 100 Delicious Heritage Recipes from the Farm and Garden" Kindle Edition $2.99US This may have been posted before: "Easy Soups from Scratch with Quick Breads to Match: 70 Recipes to Pair and Share" Kindle Edition $2.99US "The Apple Cookbook, 3rd Edition: 125 Freshly Picked Recipes" Kindle Edition $2.51US And one slightly higher priced: "Claridge's: The Cookbook" Kindle Edition $3.99US I am a US Prime member and the price you see may vary.

Lifesaver's Orange Mints (click) You can almost taste the pith in these. The flavor is dead on and doesn't taste artificial even though they're completely artificially flavored. Lifesavers calls them "mints" but there is no mint flavor in them that I can discern which is fine with me.

"Sausage recall includes Bob Evans, Giant Eagle brands" The article posts the specific products being recalled. There's a link at the end of the article to take you to the USDA Recall page for this recall.

Not cookbooks, but food-related: Two-time James Beard Award nominee Jeff Benjamin's "Front of the House" Kindle Edition $2.99US There is an excerpt from this book on this book's Amazon page to give you the "flavor" of the book. This was published a year and a half ago, It's sale-priced today: Michael Ruhlman's "Grocery: The Buying and Selling of Food in America" Kindle Edition $2.99US I am a US Prime member and the price you see may vary.

Well, I answered my own question. I went to a local Arby's with a co-worker and we agreed to order the two new sandwiches and switch half of each sandwich with each other. That way we'd get to try both in one sitting. The short rib sandwich (a special offer...not a regular item on their menu) was quite tender but it was served on what they called "Texas Toast" which was completely lacking in any sort of buttery or garlic goodness. WTF? So it was just this thick dry bread which wasn't very appetizing at all. The crispy onions were good, the BBQ sauce was good but overall it was just "meh". It has been touted to have been smoked for 6 hours but there was no nice smokey flavor. The other sandwich we tried was the Smokehouse Brisket. According to Arby's the brisket has been cooked in a smoker for 13 hours. But you could have fooled us. There was absolutely no smoke flavor in the sandwich. I mean you should at least be able to smell the smokiness of smoked meat, right? Another "meh" sandwich. The two things I learned from my visit? 1) They still have potato wedges! I thought the triangular shaped potato patties were history but they had them. They sell them as a two-patty, three-patty, or 4-patty combo. 2) Never order a large Jamocha Shake unless you have 4 other people to help you drink it. It was mammoth and could compete with 7-Eleven's Big Gulps.
