Kitchen "Candy" ~ Or, Look What I Just Got!

[dragnlaw]

THIS ONE looks similar...not sure I would pay what they want for it?

Well Ginny, some people have more money than brains! LOL

But, @GinnyPNW, you would get $1.30 in rewards dollars!

Go for it! I've found tons of things that have their original price stickers on them. Clothing is the best!!

That will work. Lots of things to find...many with tons of their original tags and stickers on them. Oops, am I repeating myself? Still true! Love it. Where you can get a Donna Karan blouse for $3.99, tags included?

I don't remember if I shared that I was gifted 23 pounds of Apples from a neighbor down the road a piece, but I tried peeling my first batch by hand and my left thumb said NOPE!!!



This arrived today. I tried one of the Apples and I glad that there's at last pictures on the side of the box. Not sure what language this is, but ...

Isn't it wonderful! I've had one for, well, let's just say a lot of years! LOL. It is an Amish invention. Mine is a tad different, but same principle. There's a similar gadget for potatoes ...or you can remove the "corer" part and use the same gadget...so, I'm told. I've never tried.

If you make an apple pie, don't tell folks how quick it was to do! Let them think you slaved, just for them!

 

[Kaneohegirlinaz]

Uh! Potatoes, I'll give that a try.
I still haven't been able to eek out a day where I can make and put up the Apple Sauce that I want to, but I did make a pan of @Andy M. 's sister's Apple Squares, YUM!!!
I have no clue as to what kind of Apples these are, but they are tasty.

Just so happens I made a pan this afternoon. Tonight's Dessert!

Oh, I call it apple walnut cake now.

Went to the bookstore. Looked for a cookbook for dog food. They had squat. Found this one instead...

Couldn't resist because of this...

Are you sure your dog likes blueberry scones? My dogs are partial to apple.

They love blueberries and apples and bananas...but I say no to the scones!

I got a pizza oven! With gas, it should get to 900F. WIth woold pellets, about 6-700F. tonight I made dough, which is rising in the fridge overnight. In the norning, I am making mozzerella from raw milk.

 

[dragnlaw]

Woooo Hoooo!
oh gosh, sorry - lost your address, what is it again?

LOL! If I thought you'd really come, I'd make pizza for you

 

[dragnlaw]

LOL! A couple of years ago I would have! Stop in on the way from delivering cars for the Snow Birds. Alas I don't do that anymore.

 

[Andy M.]

Nice purchase. We expect pictures of the finished product.

 

[GinnyPNW]

Looks like an Ooni? I have the Ooni Koda, strictly gas model. We love it! I see tasty pizzas in your future!

It's a knock-off. I picked it because it works either gas or pellets, and it has a turntable under the stone to simplify rotating the pie. Testing it out tonight!

I was watching a short video of Jacques Pepin Cooking At Home when I noticed he was using an unusual knife. A paring knife with a santoku-like blade. Ideal for keeping you knuckles off the cutting board. So I looked into it and discovered it's called a KIJI. So I ordered one from OXO and it just arrived. The attached photo shows the KIJI with a ruler for size and a 4" paring knife for comparison. I apologize for the photo quality. Both blades are shiny stainless steel and the handles are black.

 

[dragnlaw]

But isn't the idea of a "paring" knife the slimness of the blade makes it easier to curve around your object?

Still gorgeous - wouldn't say no to one. To go along with all the other knives I have and don't need.

Congrats - let us know how it works out.

 

[Kathleen]

I definitely want a review on it, Andy! It looks sharp! (pun intended)

 

[Andy M.]

The purpose of this knife is not paring so much as mini slicing and dicing. I'm hoping it will be easier to handle than an 8" chefs knife for things like dicing shallots and other small items.

Here's a better photo.
