I have something like this that I have never even put batteries into. No idea where it came from. Likely going bye-bye in the downsizing.

I do a lot of sheet-pan meals. Not exactly a pot, but does a pan count? I don't use any cookbooks for it, I tend to make it up as I go. Usually start with the thing that will take the longest to cook and add the rest as I go, depending on how I think things will cook. Season as you like. You can add sauces later, if you like. Or splash with some wine or vinegar.

I went through this a couple of years ago when my ancient one bit the dust. I tried 3 different ones until I finally found this one that has super low speed. I'm not that wild about the beaters on it (I prefer the old-fashioned type.), but they actually do seem to work fine on everything I've tried. Braun MultiMix (eG-friendly Amazon.com link)

I took pix of what went into it, but got busy and failed to take an after photo. A friend gifted the trout. I love the Omnivore salt blends. Broiled the trout and it was outstanding.

That's really too bad. I'm guessing it's Misfits and not FedEx that is doing the deliveries? Have you tried writing to customer service? In my experiences they respond within 24 hours and always have a solution. Often they offer me $5 off my next order due to what ever problem had happened.....
Where do your boxes ship from? Mine are from San Antonio, TX.
They are delivered by trucks that say Imperfect Foods (They merged a year or so ago.) I don't think they say where they come from.
Yesterday was my delivery day. I got an email around 3 pm saying it had shipped. I clicked on the tracking and it said the truck was about 5 minutes away. And it was. But that's what I mean--why am I getting these emails so late? And I have complained. Last time, they never responded. I think they just don't like me. Ha!

We went to Costco yesterday and their produce department was also way down--most notably, onions and potatoes!

I shop for groceries from Misfits the minute my window opens--or as soon as I can if something is going on that I can't. There are a lot of choices at that time....If I wait until the last day of my 3 day window it looks just as you describe in both the fruit and the vegetable sections.
Local stores--haven't noticed shortages but definitely the prices are a lot higher.
Misfits was depleted from the minute my window opened this time. I keep wondering if it is something about the distribution center that serves my area. A couple of weeks ago, delivery was a day late with no notice about it. I don't get communications from them in a timely fashion. Often the email that tells me the order shipped and some items won't be in it doesn't go out until after the order is already here!! I can't plan meals if I don't know what I'm getting. And my other regular grocery order goes in just prior to this one, so it is too late to order from them if Misfits is out of something. Ready to quit Misfits again.

Is it just here in our area, or is everyone in the country experiencing a shortage of food--mostly produce--right now?
My Misfits Market order had to be submitted last night. I had already put a few things in the cart, but when I went in to finalize it, there were a grand total of 4 vegetables available to choose from. And 2 of those were tofu.
When I began talking about it with friends in the area, they said that all the stores are depleted. Is this a factor of people stocking up to get through the dreadful weather we've had this month, or is it that weather has been so dreadful throughout the country (and even the world), that the growing areas have not been able to produce as usual?

I think the Empire Kosher chicken from TJ's is very good. The organic Empire kosher chicken was even better, but they don't carry that any more.
Yes, agree with Empire Kosher. I forgot they carry that. I was really referring to their own packaged chicken.

@Maison Rustique I like the idea of roasting alongside the meatloaf.
@Dejah When I moved to Toronto in 1980 as a graduate student one of my go to places to buy meat was the now gone European Meats in Kensington Market. They were almost giving away, compared to more popular cuts, oxtails, beef shanks, flank steaks and others which now just elicit a WTF response.
I will roast veggies alongside anything or on their own. My sister recently called me the Queen of Roasted Vegetables and I wasn't sure if she meant it as a compliment or if she is tired of always having roasted veggies when they come here. I love nearly any vegetable roasted and it is quick and easy with minimal clean up.

For some reason, the chicken I've gotten at TJ's always has an odd texture to it.

I didn't realize that you lived in Liberty, MO. Been there, it's a beautiful little town with such a fascinating history.
It used to be. They have done their best to completely ruin it by developing so much that the beauty and historic charm have been completely destroyed. Nothing but fast food and discount stores now. We plan to list our house this Spring and will definitely look outside of Liberty for another place.

I bought myself a Geedel rotary grater, it suctions onto the counter top and has been a life saver for my poor wrists. I also have a Vidalia chop wizard. Between those two items, I have been able to stop avoiding recipes that involve a lot of chopping or grating. I don't know how to do a "friendly Amazon link" but I recently got a couple of little silicone grid contraptions that fit onto the grid of my Vidalia chopper. They make clean-up even easier.
Unless I got rid of it, I have a chopper thing that looks like that, though may be a different brand. I've never used it and have had it for probably at least 10 years. I'll look around to see if it still lives here.

I'm making meatloaf later and used the Salad Shooter a while ago to make breadcrumbs. So easy and fast!! I love this already!!

I had reward points to use, so got a Presto Salad Shooter. It arrived yesterday, but haven't used it yet. I can't wait to shred some cheese without aggravating my joints.

I got rid of my air fryer. I use the function on my oven or the one on my toaster oven. Much easier. I found the air fryer appliance difficult to clean and couldn't conveniently fit whatever it was I wanted into it.

I will keep a manual opener or two just in case I run out of batteries or whatever. You never know!

I finally had the occasion to use my new can opener. Opened 2 cans and it worked great! So easy and no sharp edges. Yay!! (This is the red/white opener discussed above.)

I made around a year ago--one with bourbon and one with vodka. Have not tried them yet but they both look and smell fantastic!
