We had large dinner salads with plenty of vegetables and the leftover chicken cut on top. Our temperatures are in the 90s with some humidity, so not turning on the oven or stove works for us.
Italian Cook, the difference is that that the plastic Cuisinart now uses is BPA-free.
I called Cuisinart, and they no longer have the part. I did get the part number from the very nice representative. He told me that if I buy a new FP, my discs would work in the DFP-14BCNY. They would offer me a 20% discount.
With the part number, I went online and found a work bowl at Seneca-river-trading.com It is not the BPA-free one, but that is fine with me, since I would have to buy a new lid and pusher assembly for the BPA-free one, as they are not interchangeable. The bowl cost $37.95, but shipping added $12.95. That is still a bargain at the cost of new FPs. I'll report back once it arrives, and I try it out.
I answered correctly because when I made browned butter in the past, that is what I used. I appreciate the information that clarifies why it should be used.
Those are good prices, Joan. KAF AP was $4.99 at Kroger on Tuesday, and the BRM whole wheat was $4.99.
Sometimes I want a good substantial cookie. On Thursday, I took the Bob’s Red Mill recipe for Oregon Trail Cookies and further modified it by replacing the 4 Tbs. of unsalted butter with 2 ½ Tbs. of olive oil plus 1 Tbs. buttermilk, as the dough was a bit crumbly. (That liquid should help with the water lost when the oil replaces the butter.) They also have peanut butter (the kind that is just peanuts and a bit of salt). I replaced 2 Tbs. flax seeds with 1 Tbs. flax meal. I microwaved the very dry cranberries with 1 Tbs. of water and let them sit before I added them. I used a #30 Zeroll scoop and got 24 cookies, twelve on each baking sheet. I flattened them before baking. We will try them for dessert tonight.
Interesting, Mike. I've used them interchangeably in baked goods. Usually they were mixed with hot water first.
Ah, so it is whole grain:

I have used it in baking, and I also have cooked it in chicken broth for a quick side dish.
I knew the answer because it is sometimes called cracked wheat. Does the durum mean it is not whole grain?
The Pandemic has brought back the Cathy comic strip. I just found it and read through all, beginning with this one:
https://www.gocomics.com/cathy-commiserations/2020/03/15
Recognize any of these situations? 🙂 For me, some of them apply to retirement!
The Cathy comic strip is back for the pandemic, at least. Here is one on baking bread:
We had leftover roast chicken, potatoes, and carrots, along with microwaved fresh green beans. This chicken is particularly good. We bought it at Aldi's, and it does not seem to have the heavy salt solution that most places inject into their poultry.
I knew the answer also, probably from reading Bon Appetit or Epicurious emails about foods not available in my area but apparently are around in New York City.
When we were at the local grocery store on Tuesday, I saw two packages of six Roma tomatoes, each package marked down to 59 cents, as they were slightly past their prime. I bought both and made 2 cups of tomato sauce. I froze it in 1 cup containers to be used on future pizzas.
For dinner on Tuesday, I roasted a chicken atop cut-up potatoes and carrots tossed in olive oil and Penzey’s Sunny Paris Seasoning I also rubbed the chicken with olive oil and sprinkled with Sunny Paris. We had it with microwaved fresh broccoli.
I also enjoyed reading the article. However, I think that no history of King Arthur Flour is complete without mention of the Baking Circle (both the Old one and the Newer one). It was sad to see that community be dismantled.
We braved the next town to grocery shop at Aldi's and Kroger. Although 8:30-9:30 is supposed to be the "vulnerable" shopping time, 75% of the customers did NOT wear masks. Most of us who did are older. In Kroger, about 75% of customers wore masks. It was not as crowded as last time that we went, which might be because we were there by shortly after 9 a.m., but it might also be because people are back at work.
As we live in a small town in a rural area, grocery shopping in the larger town always had me thinking ahead for several weeks. Now when we go, I have a mentality of "What if we cannot get back here for a month or two?" I do not think that our county will close down again, but the increase in Covid-19 infections has been frightening. It went from 40 on May 15 to 305 on June 14, and it keeps increasing. I wish that people would be diligent about wearing masks.
Although a national new story states that cases in Indiana are going down--which the data do not show--the northern part of Indiana is now being hit particularly hard. However, the people in Indianapolis tend not to pay much attention to us, which is why we have such "rustic" road surfaces.
