I should think "Corpse preventer" would be a better summary of her profession.

 

Purple was one color available for casts...what were the other choices? Is there a significance to the purple?

Each width of casting material is a different color - so the lady on the left could have had red - but opted for the purple cause it's her grandson's favorite color. The kid was getting purple no matter what because of the width - but he was still happy with it.

4 inch purple, 3 inch red, 2 inch glow in the dark which is a really yucky ivory color in daylight.

I thought about starting the intermittent fasting this morning but it makes for lousy photographs so I had this instead.

So today was the day for the Naan in a Caan.

So rolled out, oiled, and cooked at 160º on Control Freak.

 

Cooked two - tasted the first - binned the rest.

 

Salty, chemically, wrong texture.

Kerry, is this literally a pop-can naan or did you improvise with canned biscuits?     It the latter, I certainly understand your comments about the off-putting flavor and saltiness.    And if the former, couldn't they have come up with better?

Thanks for this.    I can't understand why big dough companies can't come up with quick and yeast products that actually taste like the real thing.    Why do canned biscuits taste so strongly like baking soda?    Why are rolls and pizza doughs so sweet?    Would be such a boon bur are essentially unusable.

You need the Big Easy for that stuff. 

Still have it?

"The Big Easy" = the Green Egg?

 

Thanks for the info about the Naan in a Caan.* I hadn't thought of it, but now if I hear about it I won't be tempted.
