I had a situation some years ago when I tried to make a Xmas bread for my Czech daughter-in-kw. The recipe was in Czech, which I translated, the measurements were in metric, which I converted to English, and the ingredient measurements were by weight rather than volume, which I converted. It was...

Thank you all so much. We went to our favorite restaurant down by the ocean and had a great dinner. We started off with a single malt scotch for me, and a Hakuna Matata cocktail for Kayelle. It is described as Malibu Mango Rum, orange & pineapple juice, pomegranate stirrings & a float of 151...

While in Australia, we stopped for lunch that offered "Box of shrimp and a beer". That sounded good to me until the box showed up:ermm:

It is crazy, but it is November and I am still harvesting tomatoes off our 4 bushes.

Mea Culpa! It took 4 months and four pounds of Baking Soda plus some special deodorizer to get rid of the smell:sad:

Thank you for the nice review. We may try your suggestion of dill the next time we make it.

Timing ruler Dear Sander, Please go to this site and buy a timing ruler. Click on the equipment tab to find it. The sous vide time is a function of thickness and geometry. The ruler makes it easy, and it is not that expensive, http://amazingfoodmadeeasy.com

Sliced, it perfectly covered a round bolillo hamburger bun. I only have 2 plants, and I average a tomato a week, which is just enough for the 2 of us.

I have very little area to plant things, but i found a place to grow a couple of tomato plants. I put in 2 Celebrity plants, and 2 Bobcat plants. I went to pick one of the Bobcat tomatoes, and it blew me away! It was perfectly shaped and weighed 17 ounces.

We have a 12,000 BTU searing side burner on our BBQ that we nicknamed "Wilma" (from the Flintstones). It does a wonderful job and is very easy to clean. We did a one bone roast in the SV then seared it, and it was great.

When I was on my Trans Siberian Railroad trip, we were treated to a caviar and vodka reception in St. Basil's cathedral in Moscow's Red Square. It was excellent. It was also before the prices went through the roof.

Day camp at the beach Today was the last day before the beaches here on the beautiful Central Coast of California were closed for the holiday. Kayelle and I drove out to a spot on the beach only known to locals. There we set up our day camp. I had picked up a big sub, chips and a small...

IMO, those conical cages are worthless. I found some large triangular cages and put one on top of the other and wired them together. I live in a MHP, and only have 4 plants, but they are going crazy! Since there are only the two of us, we will have tomatoes all summer

Here is a link for whole beans. They have a great variety http://sfbaycoffee.com

We have discovered the only fine dining restaurant in our little town. It features curbside takeout food which is great. Right now it runs lunch specials M-F and dinner specials W-Sat. Since Kayelle works so hard in the kitchen, she deserves a break. Tonight's dinner consisted of 2 appetizers...

Bienvenu!

I certainly agree. I lost my wife 15 years ago on Monday. I have been blessed to find a second chance to love someone, and life is so worth living.:wub::wub:

My Executive Chef (Kayelle) ordered one of these to make my life easier as Souschef. Unfortunately, it sucks rather than shucks. Unless the cob is rather small, the work to twist to get the kernels off put me in a sweat. After trying to do four ears, I was red in the face and my hands were...

Too Funny

Prevention Great idea!

I am bumping this thread up, as after Kayelle spent an hour composing the post two days ago, nobody has responded. It makes me think that either nobody cares about her post or they are not interested in the subject.:wink:

Thanks for the birthday wishes from all of you. I think Kayelle posted my birthday dinner on DC. It was a lot of fun, and we have 2 lobster tails left.

Since Kayelle has come out of her funk, she has turned in to a real Jabbermouth (her words) at home and DC. I am sure you noticed it on DC. Well, I told her the story of a movie I watched many years ago about a man who fell in love with a woman who was mute. After a number of years, he found a...
