Been looking at that one too. $111 is about $89 less than I payed for my Roo when they first came out. A local B&M is having a clearance sale on the og Roo DNA200......$90.
I like the Bronze/Copper finish. Think faceplate & battery door carving pattern could be better though.

Yes, we do have "one" left in Henry County, and its in my neighborhood. They do a lot of specialty breads for restaurants etc. They know what they are doing too, at least on the products I have tried. Hit n miss as to what they will have in stock for sale though, mostly just whatever is left over from commercial orders.

Havent ever tried their rye yet, every time I go in there they dont have any. Appears they only make it for commercial orders and once that is gone they dont make it for a few weeks again. Never been lucky enough to hit them at the right time.

Yeah, the challah probably has potential, just remember where we are....... and where we're NOT!

Sitting down, facing forward.
Challah is an art and my mother-in-law was a true artist with it. She always made three loaves when she made it, one for me as soon as it came out of the oven and was cool enough to touch, and the other to for meals.

Babka is another art, too. I have a friend, Russian ancestry, who makes what she calls "babka" for Russian Easter. It's kind of like a cream cheese with nuts and I don't know what else. This stuff is "to die for" and always adds a couple of pounds to my weight. The bread version is also "to die for", especially with fresh churned butter.

Sorry, Mike, I can't support making hash out of perfectly good pastrami or corned beef, especially from Katz. That stuff is reserved for quality rye bread and the "shavings" in an omelet.

Good point, I am a big potatoes guy which makes the hash tempting for the scraps. Although, I have to admit, that omelette idea sounds pretty damn good too.

Polish heritage here, grandma used to fatten me up and I was quite the eager participant.

My grandmother taught me how to do this, and I still do them once in a while. Although I am nowhere near the skill level below. I can remember the old ladies sitting around the church drinking coffee, gossiping, and doing spectacular examples of this.

Nice to see FT moving again :)
Shipment Summary Shipment 1: Ship via Canada Express ePacket
Status Packaging :)
More like signs of movement. Takes quite a while for China's shipping to go through CNY recovery IIRC. Once had a vaporflask clone leave 3F & make it to the airport before CNY. All told that shipping took over 5 weeks.

Hoping it goes faster this time. Got a Stainless Battlestar & some Merlin rtas coming my way. Looking forward to trying the Merlin. Was pleasantly surprised with those cheap Serpents I got & by all accounts I've read, the Merlins are supposed to be better.
