if you want an air fryer, you want a Phillips.
Otherwise, the equations are dire.

Beef, as lean as I can find it.
I recognize it's not to everyone's taste, but it's beefier and less greasy.
It's like eating ground lean roast.

I love beef jerky too.

Alla Famiglia is supposed to be very good.
Point Bruges isn't labeled as French cuisine, but it's fantastic. As I've eaten there, I'm recommending it. Can't go wrong with it.

Evercrisp is my new cross Honeycrisp recommendation. Love a november apple!
(Try goldrush too if you can find them).

Challah is NOT easy. It's probably one of the hardest breads to make, having eggs and butter and all sorts of enrichments.
Do you make a fine Italian bread?
If not, I recommend starting with something simple like that.

Yes, they are less eggs if powdered. Destroys some of the proteins, sometimes.
Doesn't matter except to the allergic.

Good knives mean cuts that heal easily, as they're sharp!
Keep 'em sharp, and you won't have to worry.

So.
Nobody wanted pumpkin much before 2003. I was there. It was not really a thing.
You fail to explain marketing, as well as what you're talking about.

shelving units only count if you use the appliances ON the shelving unit.

rice cooker, kitchenaid, espresso machine, and grinder. cutting board, microwave -- and rice cooker.

Um. So absolutely no details on the chemicals inherent in the artificial pumpkin spice?
Pricepoints? Nothing?
Such a fluff article.
Oh, and specify which cinnamon you're talking about. cinnamonadehyde is only the primary component in Cassia cinnamon.

If you're doing the strip district, you MUST go to Gaucho!
(Seriously awesome smoked meats/grill, volume business, no reservations).

Now I see five. That is a 40% improvement. Now if you could only improve that another 100%... well, then I might post more than once a month. Or, you know, read someone else's post.

Thieves, apparently, plus "poor harvest" (otherwise known as Global Chaos Strikes Again! Climate change will have us out of chocolate sooner than vanilla, I think...)

Article fails to suggest getting a COMPETENT fridge.
Fails to provide humidity instructions for fruit and vegetables -- Like ANY good cow college's how to
(UC Davis, I'm busting on you too).

 

No, really. This is insane. I remember when there were about 20-30. When there were that many, I might click on three. Now? I look at three, one of which is probably COTM, and I go away.

Is there ANY way you can give us old timers the old site layout back?
I don't read ANYTHING here anymore!!!

That's because skimming is NEXT to impossible. TOO many clicks for a desktop user.
Horrid "cellphone" design.

Dutch oatmeal. It comes out like an oat cake, and making it in my Tiger rice cooker is a breeze.

I use 1.5 to 1 cup for basmati, on ULTRA, and I Love my Tiger.
PLEASE please please rinse the basmati about four times, agitating well. Then, once in the rice cooker, give a swirl before closing (so nothing sticks).
Tiger shouldn't need anything more.

Kirkland Signature rocky road chocolates (fantastic!)
At 7.97, they're a great deal!

Kirk. Sig. Chocolate covered cookies. As cookies, a failure, but as "cut chocolate"? wowsa! way way better than any truffle you'll ever buy. (who wants shortening when you can eat COOKIE?)

Chocolate covered crepes -- NOT crepes, some sort of wafer thin pastry. Good, but variety suffers.

Get the damn fume hood. do NOT get a microwave/vent. they do NOT work, they die, microwave is not designed for this use case.

zackly,
we manage some of the best ones in PA, so it can't be all that southern...

Mirai, which is one of the best corns, is a royal bitch to grow. Cross contamination by air pollenation of other corns is a problem.

Here's a COMPETENT article:

I've had Mirai, and it is significantly better than Kristine.

How to doctor:
Ruby will be fine, a bit less woody. Dont' worry.
As for cherries? Either use citric acid, or dehydrate the cherries you do have.

costco.com has saffron for CHEAP!
(must buy in bulk, but hell, it's saffron. It's too good to sell at retail price!)
