Market Basket Scallops in milk?

The S&S near me has a seafood counter with unpackaged seafood, I hardly see anything worth buying.

Trader Joe's Going Downhill?

"So much has to be locally supplied; meats, dairy, produce, bakery, floral. Those items vary greatly depending on the suppliers"

I think that rings true for most super market stores.

What to Buy at Costco?

Buck a can on sale days are long over, even for the 5 ounce cans, maybe for chunk light, By investment, if you mean you have to buy 8 cans, good thing they're canned and have a long shelf life.

Market Basket Scallops in milk?

I believe they have a liquid sodium solution added i.e wet scallops. Look for dry or divers scallops.

Nightmare at Average Joe's Needham.

I think one underlying factor were the kids, not the establishment. The OP certainly understands that a couple of hungry kids can make a situation intense.

Kebab Factory Lunch Buffet Update

What about the food? What did you have, how did it taste? How were the spices in the dishes? Good to know they need more non-gloppy dishes but, it means little if what they are currently offering isn't good.

Reduction order of a sauce really matter?

Your adding another liquid, stock, with a different flavor profile. Wine for intensity and depth of the fruit and stock for adding the flavor like chic or beef in addition to adding liquid volume to the sauce.

sea salt vs. kosher salt

I cook with kosher and use sea salt to finish before serving.

Just bought a container of blueberries, huge and sweet. Cantelopes are excellent as well.

Eggplant parmesan fail - what am I doing wrong?

I fry in deep oil, about 2 inches, the eggplant come out crisp and they absorb less oil.

What to Buy at Costco?

Yes, the grocery store cans are 5oz vs Costco's 7oz and are the same price, a great value It's about $14. for 8 but, they don't go bad, I usually stock up when they offer an instant rebate.

I like between 21-28 days, I've done some of my own also, excellent.

Do you marinate your steak?

Personally, if I'm going for a great steak, it's dry aged. Wet just doesn't cut it!

Defrosted salmon is mushy

It should be fine, try pan frying or grilling, was this a frozen cryovac pack or did you freeze it yourself?

juice in sugar free apple pie filling

You can always use something like Truvia. I've mixed other fruits, berries etc with apples to minimize sugar use. Very ripe peaches are excellent.
