I love popovers and used to make them in muffin tins until I found these at a garage sale.

That sounds great. Now I just have to look up what poached is lol.
20 years of ordering out has taken its toll.
I was given one of those by a Korean friend years ago. He told me at the time, “Be very careful, this can cut you really bad!”
The first time I used it, I almost lost a thumb-tip.
I’ve got two in the house that I’ve never used since. Sometimes I see chefs on TV using them without a guard. Gives me the absolute willies :-)

thanks. I don’t have the discipline and need to find it. have appointment with doc in two weeks.
new one. he is going to DIE when he sees my size!!!
The pounds will literally drip off.....you can eat anything you like in any quantity.
Just eliminate bread and all flour-based items from your diet.
Some of them come w/ a finger guard...like the one pictured.
I thought those were just extra unnecessary calories. ou just get so used to them.
at the weight I’m at, just walking a block is exhausting. only ten yeas ago used to walk from Rockefeller plaza to the ferry.
only 47. but that feels old. lol
I have a Zojirushi and it is great. All of their appliances are top notch.
Do you know the latest, best Zojirushi bread machine? I’ve kept putting off buying it, because reading all the reviews on Amazon is dizzying. I want one that makes a horizontal loaf; tired of those big almost-square Breadman loaves ;-)

lemon juice, fresh dill weed and butter.....salt and pepper
Once your taste buds get used to eating delicious fresh vegetables and fruits...you’ll wonder why you ever put all that floury junk in your mouth. It’s a good idea to have one go-to taste-sensation when you get those cravings.
How about a Double Chocolate Mocha Shake?
Blender s/f ice-cold chocolate soda, frozen s/f chocolate popsicle, cup or so cold coffee.
On my last trip to Alaska, I bought an Inuit Ulu. It’s carved out of a piece of birch, rather oval in shape and about five inches deep. The Ulu knife is a curved blade with a handle that you rock back and forth to chop the food in the bowl. It’s wonderful for guacamole, fruits, shrimp for ceviche, etc.

Best of luck in your journey.
A George Foreman grill is a good start. Fast cooking, quick, easy cleanup, and drains most fat off of anything.
Great way for cooking fish. Great way for cooking anything@
Tilapia is a tasty fish, and comes individual piece flash frozen at Costco. Not as pricey as some of the other fish. Try a tilapia filet on the Foreman grill with a lemon juice-caper sauce.
Find an Asian supermarket, and find a jar of sushi ginger. (Refrigerated.) Very inexpensive. Very versatile, and jumpstarts any meal. (And it’s great for digestion.) Capers are a luxury, but a heavenly treat for fish, and a jar lasts a long time.
I just had a piece of tuna tonight cooked in the Foreman grill. 5 minutes! Tuna, marinated in soy sauce, then topped with a sprinkle of sesame seeds, and slices of the ginger. Close the lid. Wait 5 minutes. YUM!
Try a sesame oil stir fry with veggies. Good sesame oil is intense, and you don’t need much.
The big thing is satisfaction. You don’t want to think all day long about food satisfaction. That’s why diets don’t work. You just think about it all day! Just change your way of doing things. Find out what is really satisfying and delicious, and build on that.
Again, best of luck on your journey
Also Mrs. Dash.
A fruit sauce is also good on fish. Mango salsa is wonderful. As for tuna, wasabi, sesame or teriyaki.
My Japanese sister-in-law cooked dinner for us one night. I was quite surprised to find that she prepared it just like pasta. She just dumped the Basmati rice into well salted water and let it simmer until done, poured it into a colander to drain. It was perfect.
Dill is great with salmon.
I also love plain yellow mustard with salmon patties.
To add flavor but not a lot of calories I like seasoned rice vinegar. I even use as a salad dressing. Comes in a few flavors but have to get seasoned.
Actually using vinegar or pickled food before you eat carbs help with blood sugar levels.
“I’ve sometimes bought things I have no use for, just because I liked the container they came in. Go figure.”
You’re not alone in that “fetish”, lol! There was a brand of jelly that came in an octagonal, tall, jar that I would buy because I really liked the jars for storing herbs, tea, etc in. The jelly was quite good too, so it wasn’t just for the jar. Getting a little further off topic, you mentioned the well built wooden tool boxes... I love those. Most of the tool specific boxes that are made now are junk. Injection molded to fit the tool, but instead of a real hing, the thing just relies upon thin plastic to flex back and forth as the box is opened and closed, which ultimately fails. It might be a tool valued at a few hundred dollars that it protects, complete with foam hollowed out to fit the tool, but the lack of a decent hinge makes the box what I like to refer to a “future trash”. Lol
Salad spinner to dry lettuce for a salad after you’ve rinsed it is pretty handy.
Also the modern garlic presses that let you to press a clove with the skin still on it. They extrude the meat without passing the skin.
A splatter screen is handy if you’re doing high heat searing of meat on the stove top. Saves a lot of mess and clean up.
Digital instant read thermometer with thin probe for checking doneness without scarring up your food.
The one gadget I really miss and am having one heck of a time replacing is my Bass-O-Matic. If anyone knows of a source, I’d LOVE to get another!
