We're talking ricotta. My friend said you need some kind of starter to make
Mozzarella.

I like it in Caprese salad. What I don't like is Burratta. Far too bland and
creamy.

It is still a light flavor but much better than the bland stuff. I had
it in Italy and was able to get it at a store in Providence but have not
seen it here.

After losing internet, home phone, and cell service Christmas day
I'm finally online and all services are up and running as of about
2:35 p.m., CST today. Sunday I got iffy cell service but that was
all and no internet on that device.
 
I hope all that celebrate Christmas had a wonderful and safe day.
The day was spent at my nephew's house as was planned and we
ate like condemned men. LOTS of standard and some different
breakfast items were feasted upon. Mimosas as well as some
other sort of alcoholic Christmas punch and coffee, too, were
available to slurp on.

And not a soul in this thread has mentioned a Sunbeam Mixmaster. That´s
what my Mom used while I was growing up. Even I don´t have one, but I think
of all these eggbeaters as Mixmasters.

No! The convection element blew a few days before xmas and I had to use the
conventional bake feature in the oven. This resulted in variable "bakes"
despite rotation etc with some overdone and some barely done. I'm now
tussling with whether to replace the element, which isn't easy as the oven
is obsolete, or buying a new range, which will involve cutting into the
worktop and removing a base cabinet unit.
If I do replace the oven, I know it will NOT be a Bosch!!!

At the risk of sounding like Julie, you might have trouble finding a
replacement oven. I was talking to a guy a couple months ago who was
looking for a new fridge and there was almost nothing in stock locally.
A woman who was there with us had just bought something and was sure
they would have something. The guy called and that store and the only
fridges they had in stock were several inches wider than the space it
was to fit into.
 
I just have an inexpensive Frigidaire. It takes a long time to warm up
but it bakes reliably and evenly. Cookies, biscuits, muffins etc turn
out beautifully. I set a timer for the minimum cooking time and things
are almost almost always done nicely. I have not done bread in it, but I
am starting to think I should try it again. I just don't eat enough
bread for it to keep reasonably well before it is used up.
 
It's a funny thing about Bosch appliances. They seem to have a good
enough name to command premium prices, but everyone I know who has had
their appliances has been badly disappointed.
 
There is a good chance that the element is the same as the newer models.
There aren't that many different types of oven elements. Of course,
there is always the chance that Bosch makes them different on purpose.

There was a salesman on the radio this morning bemoaning the shortage of
appliances and the very long wait times.
I have just this minute ordered a replacement element, not readily
available for an old oven. To replace the oven would be too much of a
hassle and potentially run into major problems with ctting into the work
top etc.
This Bosch was the first European style, true convection oven to be made
that was 30" wide and I bought it on reputation, along with a separate
Bosch cooktop and a Bosch dishwasher when I renovated the kitchen. The
cooktop has been excellent but the oven soon proved to be an appalling
waste of money. I have used it exclusively in convection bake mode (even
for roasting a turkey) as the poorly placed thermostat results in huge
temperature swings in any other mode.
The Bosch dishwasher became noisy just after the warranty expired. It still
works after 24 years and when it eventually gives up the ghost, I'll
replace it with a different brand.

I am wondering how this is going to affect an item I ordered. I had been
looking for a new recliner and a friend whose family runs the furniture
store in town showed me what he had in stock but and advised that
anything ordered would take at least 5 months. I didn't see anything I
liked and went elsewhere. I found what I was looking for,but was advised
that it would not be delivered until the end of January. Now we are in
lockdown for a month and I don't know if that is going to translate to a
longer wait.

As long as everything else is working it is likely worth the cost of the
replacement part.

I don't recommend Maytag. Some time back I bought a Maytag fridge and
stove (glass top). I quickly got to know the Maytag repairmen pretty
well, I had a lot of trouble with the front burners shutting off. The
repairman was out several times. They ended up taking it away and giving
me another one, and I had the same problem with that one. The fridge
worked well enough but the butter shelf kept falling off. It fell so
many times that it broke. I never was able to find a replacement for it.

I bought a Bertazzoni for the last house. We really liked it. Ours was
all gas but there are other variations now. Would not hesitate to buy
one again.

This house came with GE appliances. Not my first choice but the range
has been good and I like the griddle in the center.

I have a thin Martin Yan cleaver and a heavy Henckel´s cleaver. I was
literally too stupid to think about either of them when I thin cut leftover
Christmas tenderloin with a chef´s knife for sandwiches. The Yan cleaver
would have been ideal. Next time!

The local news station was interviewing an 80-year-old lady because she had
just married for the fourth time. The interviewer asked her questions about
her life, about what it felt like to be marrying again at 80, and then
about her new husband's occupation. "He's a funeral director," she
answered.

He then asked her if she wouldn't mind telling him a little about her first
three husbands and what they did for a living. She paused for a few
moments, needing time to reflect on all those years. After a short time,
she answered proudly, explaining that she had first married a banker when
she was in her 20's, then a circus ringmaster when in her 40's, and a
preacher when in her 60's, and now - in her 80's - a funeral director.

The interviewer looked at her, quite astonished, and asked why she had
married four men with such diverse careers.

(Wait for it)

She explained,

"I married one for the money, two for the show, three to get ready, and
four to go."

Only the pork tenderloin I like medium rare. It doesn't have much in the way of internal fat and tends to dry out if taken past med.Rare.
