Also not a lamb fan. I think mostly because Mom and Dad hated it, so I did not grow up eating it. The smell gets to me. I've cooked it for others and it is a true labor of love to have to stand there smelling it.
Raw or undercooked/seared fish disgusts me.
You know, I never consider myself a picky person, but I seem to be finding a lot of stuff I don't like. 😝

A brand new one for me. A friend gave me two large pieces of pork belly and I just couldn't eat the stuff. So much fat. It can't be avoided. Is this a normal reaction?
And I don't think I should give it to the dog who is living with advanced cancer for fear it could precipitate pancreatitis. We've already lived through one bout of pancreatitis with a dog about 25 years ago.
Yep. Not a pork belly fan at all. Not a fan of big globs of fat on any food. Well, unless it is butter. 😉

I just looked that up and it looks very much like mine but I don't think it's quite as tall. I'm glad to see that it isn't digital. Most of the bad reviews that I have seen with countertop ovens are problems with computer systems. Does yours have the air fryer system? If so, let me know how you like it.
I'm glad that you didn't go with the other one recommended here because I saw some scary bad reviews on that one.
Yes, has air fry. Will report back after using it!

@Tropicalsenior I very nearly ordered that one yesterday, but went with a Black & Decker Crisp & Bake (I think that's the name) that is very similar in size and features--it comes in 4, 6, and 8 slice sizes. I went for the 6, which also takes a 12 inch pizza.. A friend here highly recommended it. It will arrive today, so will see how it looks and works!!

Hot dogs and any sausage must be grilled until black. Best hot dog is on a soft bun with mayo, yellow mustard, chopped onion and shredded sharp cheddar. Now I'm craving one.

We got a GE toaster oven as a wedding gift nearly 39 years ago. Would you believe the darned thing died a few days ago? Huh! Nothing lasts anymore. 😉
Trying to decide what I want to replace it with. I'd like to get something a little bigger so I can heat bread or a small dish instead of turning on the oven every night to make dinner. Counter space is valuable real estate in this tiny kitchen and budget is very limited. I've had lots of recommendations, just need to go physically look at them to decide if I'm willing to give up that much space. Timing is not bad, as I've been working to re-do my countertops to get appliances on the counter instead of stored away so I will actually use them.

Interesting. I'll have to take a look at some of my old cups/glasses to see if they are marked similarly.

@PatrickT, thank you for posting that. I am drooling!!

And I am surprised to see the worker handling the raw chickens without gloves. I thought that was some sort of food safety requirement.

I'm fairly certain that the rotisserie chickens that are not sold by the end of that day, get the meat pulled to use in their prepared meals that they sell there at Costco. (Husband worked for them for a few months when he first retired.) I'd ask him, but dementia has likely wiped those memories.) So, if you buy their prepared meals with chicken and are watching your sodium, it is likely to be high in those meals, too. Just saying.
I'm also in the never-had-a-Costco-rotisserie-chicken-or-prepared-meal camp.

I loved this article and thought I'd share. I hope I chose the correct forum.

I follow Nik Sharma on Facebook and get his newsletter. I just love his recipes. And he seems like a really nice guy, too. He has plenty of delicious recipes that even non-experts like me can easily make.

Thanks all! I do think a dressing is needed. Maybe I'll just make up my own version and see how it goes.

After reading about this potato chip salad at Stretch Pizza this morning, I'm obsessed with knowing more about it. Have any of you been there and had it? I'd love for someone to try it and concoct a recipe for me so I can make it.
A note that when I was Googling it, I came across an Indian Chaat Potato Chip Salad that I might need to try, too, though it is very different from the way the Stretch salad looks.
-
Wonderful photos! I want to try all the chips!! (Does anyone in So. Calif. remember when we had the eG potato chip tasting get-together a couple of decades or so ago?)

I keep saying I am going to make a trip to Trader Joe's--I'm way past due. I need to bump it up so I can get some Diamond Crystal, cheeses and cat food. I try not to have to go during the hottest months even though I take a cooler with me. I have no idea why TJ's won't build one closer to us. We are a hotbed of affluent neighborhoods and people who love to eat--they would do well around here.

Well, KAF calls it brotform. I can call it a banneton. I just need to find a place to keep it and actually use it!

After all these decades of not having one, I finally got a brotform.

Stale bread? Dip bread? Breakfast wine!
Hey, give me enough breakfast wine and I'll eat all the stale bread you can throw at me!
What on earth do we think dip bread is?

I started doing it during the pandemic when we got so many deliveries. Just kept it going. And since I don't get out much right now, I get a lot of deliveries again.

My weekly haul. Was happy they put it in two boxes. And really happy that it got here just before we left for an appointment so it didn't have to sit out in the heat all afternoon.
And I caught the driver while he was here so I could show him where I keep the snacks and water for delivery folks. I have a new friend. 🙂

Our yard and the woods behind us have been nearly taken over by invasive plant life. You're all welcome to come forage!
