When I broke a finger, Schwan's was a life saver. I could microwave and heat up food, but I couldn't slice, peel, and dice. We enjoyed all the food we bought. Like all frozen food, it was saltier than I'd like. But that was a long time ago, so they may have lowered the sodium. Back then, you had to call for a catalog or place an online order for the truck to come to the home. I don't know how they work now. When my finger healed, I canceled the service. The delivery man told me he couldn't cancel the service. Corporate policy at that time was that I had to call customer service to cancel. I'd use them again if I couldn't cook or just wanted a break from cooking. Around Christmas time (maybe Thanksgiving), they had delicious cheesecake bites. Don't know if they still do those.
I have to pass. I don't own a laptop or a computer with a camera. I've asked my sister twice to walk me through how to use the camera on my phone, but she's always busy helping grandchildren with school work. I can't imagine how people who work from home do that plus the massive school work. My sister has also sent me Facebook and You Tube links that I can't open. But I'll look forward to reports from the pizza party. I'm just too low tech.
I missed this. I've eaten caviar only once. When my husband and I were newlyweds, we bought caviar from the grocery store. Probably not the best place to buy it. We strongly disliked it. So I've never bothered to read about or learn about caviar.
Thanks for the valuable info about ordering KA flour. I can understand why they need to keep the grocery stores stocked. BTW, has anyone ever bought Gold Medal unbleached flour? The main store I go to only carries that brand in bleached.
I figured out the right answer by deciding which fruit was most sweet and sour.
I probably don't have the technology to participate in a virtual pizza party. Remember, I've had a cell phone only a short time and don't know how to use it's features.
Since the edit button isn't available in my previous post, I'll add this one just to say we had salmon patties from canned salmon and frozen mixed veggies for dinner.
I went through a stage where I would have taco salad at a restaurant everyday for lunch. Having it at home sounds good, but I have no idea how I'd pull that off. Joan, how do you make your taco salad, or do you buy yours at a restaurant? I can't remember what's in one.
I'm feeling nostalgic for pre-Covid days. I miss baking and cooking for other people. I know some of you have baked for others during this crisis, but I don't feel comfortable doing that. Without testing, I can't be certain I'm not a carrier. I don't think I am, but who knows. I also miss having people in my home for meals. I wouldn't feel comfortable with people in my home, in case one of them would be an asymptomatic carrier, and I wouldn't want to risk them with my presence, in case I am. What I miss most is baking for others. There's only so much baking I'm willing to do for us, since we're the only ones eating it! I don't want to have to talk about Covid weight.
If you posted that information before, Aaron, I didn't see it. Thanks for educating us.
Thanks, Mike, for going to the effort to find the Kitchenaid video. It didn't mention a disclaimer that's in the instruction manual of my Artisan KA stand mixer. Page 8 says:
"If you overadjust the screw, the bowl lock lever may not lock in place."
I don't know if this applies to all their mixers or just the Artisan.
Sorry, Aaron, I wouldn't have the foggiest how to send a picture. I didn't buy a cell phone until I expected Covid-19 to come to my state. I have no idea how to take a picture with it. The loaf of French bread I made recently was so beautiful I wanted to take a picture of it. But we don't own a camera, and it didn't occur to me until the bread was half-eaten that I have a camera on my cell phone. But I'm not highly motivated to learn the phone. It calls; it texts, I'm satisfied.
I missed it. I thought of the seeds, but because I don't like the seeds, I discounted them.
We had leftover pizza that my husband heated in the oven instead of the microwave. So much better! In January, we purchased a pizza in a neighboring community and brought it home. The instructions on the box said that to reheat pizza, but it on a pan in the oven. Turn oven to 375 degrees, and when oven reaches temp, the pizza is reheated. That was for a thin pizza. Because our pizza had a medium-thick crust, he let it go an extra 2 minutes and it was perfect. Much better method than the microwave.
I've given up on reaching Kitchenaid for a few weeks. The wait is too long, and a couple of days ago, I was told the hold time would be 13 minutes and after a long wait was told it'd be over 20 minutes. Not blaming Kitchenaid, just stating a fact. I admire that they are even trying to operate customer service. Really, it's admirable that companies and employees are trying to work through this. I know from a relative that working at home with children out of school is difficult. Anyhow . . .
. . . . I pulled out the instruction booklet. Good thing I did. I thought the screw to adjust the height was under the end cap, but that's for attachments. The screw is found by lifting the head. Unfortunately, booklet doesn't include the instruction about the role of the dime in adjusting the mixer. A customer service person told me about 2 years ago, but I don't recall. Does anyone know -- is the beater supposed to clear the dime so the dime doesn't move, or is the beater to move the dime?
