I don't get their emails, but I don't see anything on the Kitchen Krafts site about their retiring. I think it is a small business with only a few employees, though. It'd be a shame, they carry things that are difficult to find elsewhere.
We had tuna melts tonight, with some locally grown tomatoes from a roadside stand.
I appear to able to order those chiles online through WalMart, 2 jars for $5.72, including shipping. You might see if you can.
As I noted in another thread, we did tacos with the first tomato from our garden.
We had tacos tonight using that tomato, just enough for the two of us.
Some places in central Nebraska, 150 or so miles west of us, got 6-9 inches of rain in a single day earlier this week, lots of flooding, even I-80 was closed for a while. It's just been a really tough season for farmers, it wouldn't surprise me if we get a long hot dry spell now.
We got our first tomato of the season today, a Fourth of July tomato about the size of a ping pong ball, but there are a number of green tomatoes on other plants, some Early Girl and some Romas. With the hot weather, I don't think we'll see many more fruit set the next few weeks, but if we get a cool spell later on like we did two weeks ago I expect we'll get a bunch more to set then. The plants are ready to set fruit, just need the cooler weather to do it.
Congrats on the test drive, hope you like the results.
I'm making Austrian Malt Bread tonight, freeform rather than in a loaf pan, at my wife's request. (She wants the bread to go with the strawberry jam we made a few weeks back, I think.)
We had BLT's tonight.
Barry Callebaut has made the ruby cacao couverture (they can't call it chocolate in the USA yet) available to chocolatiers.
Here's what they're saying about it:
Ruby Cacao CouvertureWhen we built our house, we had custom cabinets built by a local company that mostly does commercial work. The cabinets for the kitchen cost a bundle (around $19,000 as I recall), but 22 years later they're still in very good shape. We've made one change over the years. We had a corner cabinet with recycle bins in it, we've replaced the bins with a two-shelf lazy susan.
I hard boiled some eggs and my wife had 2 of them for supper, I used one to make some tuna fish salad.
I don't think I've ever seen a refrigerator that doesn't have some kind of temperature control. The control knob might not be very self explanatory in terms of which way to turn the dial to get a higher or lower temperature setting, but there's usually some kind of dial.
We have one under-counter refrigerator where the knob is under the front panel and you have to get down on your hands and knees to even see it. The others all have something inside the refrigerator, usually at the top back.
The city of Lincoln held its annual fireworks display on the 3rd and fireworks were only legal to shoot off on the 3rd and the 4th this year, but I often see stores putting holiday-decorated items at the front of the store after a holiday to help get rid of them.
We had a lavash pizza tonight.
