@Anna NLovely cheese selection, question - do you eat the rind of that blue!? 

 

Also, the ratio of fruit:cheese is too high, needs more dairy! 😛

 

 

 I’m rationing my blue cheese while upping my fruit intake. It’s a new diet I just invented.

As one does, this was stored with the liquor. Found just after I had vacuum sealed and frozen the steaks we’re not having tonight.

@Kerry Beal remember that you're cleaning out the condo after this trip and don't have room in the van.

 

 

Who says she doesn't? IIRC the first photo described the van as "lightly packed". <snicker>

I think we will wait a few days. I’ll make sure there’s room in the refrigerator. Don’t think the PC comes in a nice box.

We made a trip to the Flee Market this morning. Always good to catch up with the folks who work there.

looked up " cook's brand " fish sauce as i had not heard of it

 

found this though ;

 

https://ourdailybrine.com/fish-sauce-taste-test/

 

is CB brand $ 15 more than RB40 ?

 

RB40 is $ 4.49  ( 250 ml ) at Tj's     and $ 7.++ at WF  across the street

 I was being a smarty-pants. Similar to “What’s the difference between a good haircut and a bad haircut?” – – about two weeks!

 

Edited to add:

Here  is a link to a taste test that includes the brand we are talking about. Cock brand.

Couldn't you just borrow an autoclave?

 

Camelcamelcamel shows the 21 quart All-American was $87 new on amazon US fifteen months ago.  You might wait for prime day.

 

If I wanted this bad enough I'm sure I could pick it up for much less. The chocolate discount you know.

This is a Roy Finamore recipe.  The fancy lid was my attempt to overcome the lack of a lid that actually fits that damn pan. I covered a splatter screen in foil but it still wasn’t quite large enough so then I dammed the gap with damp side towels and put a small lid on top to keep everything stable. If anyone has a better idea I’m open to suggestions.   This is a beautiful set of Biro pans  but in my opinion the designers  goofed when they didn’t make the lid for the Dutch oven also fit the sauté pan.

Would have been pretty funny if you'd been able to whip that out and put it on the plate next to those pastries they gave you in NY. :D
