We do a lot of shopping on Amazon, and also use them to search for

It is NOT a prejudice. It is a carefully considered judgement. Constantly reinforced by observation and experience.

Title: K-Mart Subs
Categories: Sandwiches, Breads, Cheese, Pork, Beef
Yield: 4 Sandwiches

4 Submarine rolls; White soft
- split Sarah Lee
8 sl Salami; w/peppercorns
4 sl Oscar Mayer bologna
4 sl Oscar Mayer honey-roasted
- ham
4 sl Kraft American cheese
1/4 Onion; sliced sliver thin
1/2 oz Lettuce; shredded
2 Tomatoes; sliced 1/8" thick
1 oz Banana peppers; in rings
1 Dill pickle; thin lengthwise
- slices
1 oz French's yellow mustard

About This Recipe: "I had an awful craving hit me for one of
these wonderful K-mart Subs and HAD to have one! I searched
high and low and finally found a woman on a message board
that used to work the deli counter in the late 80's at a
K-mart in Dayton, Ohio. This was one of the same stores that
my Mom would take me as a kid to get one of these wonderful
subs and a frozen Coke! I used to stand in front of the
counter and watch them make these subs and remembered all
but one of the ingredients. Make sure that you wrap your
subs and allow them to sit for 30 minutes before serving or
they are not the same. This allows the bread, meat and
veggies to show some love to one another."

Slice all of your veg; dill pickle, tomato, lettuce and
onion. Layout your meats in a stack and slice them half.
Slice your cheese in half.

Open the rolls without breaking the hinge of the bread.
Squirt on the mustard in a V shape pattern across both the
top and bottom bun.

TOP BUN: Place 4-6 pickle slivers on the top bun.

BOTTOM BUN: 4 salami halves. 2 bologna halves. 2 cheese
slices. 2 ham halves. 4 tomato slices. Shredded lettuce. 4-8
pepper rings.

I've learned to really price shop when it comes to Amazon with a lot of

something I like.

Title: Patout's Boiled Crawfish
Categories: Cajun, Main dish, Fish, Barbecue
Yield: 8 Servings

MMMMM------------------------FOR THE BOIL-----------------------------
40 lb Live crawfish
1/2 c Ground white pepper
1/2 c Ground black pepper
12 ea Ears of corn, shucked
1 c Salt
1/2 c Ground red pepper
5 lb Small white onions
5 lb Small new potatoes

MMMMM--------------------------SPRINKLE-------------------------------
1/2 c Ground white pepper
1/2 c Ground black pepper
1/2 c Ground red pepper
2 c Salt

Alex Patout describes Crawfish as "a delicacy made for sharing-- in
fact, in Cajun country, boiling crawfish for only two people counts
as a venial sin." Wash the crawfish well and pick out any fish bones
or other debris. Fill a great big (40-quart) Stockpot a quarter full
of water. Add the salt and peppers and bring to boil. Add the whole
onions, the corn, and the new potatoes (it will be easy to remove
them later if you put them in a cloth sack). Return to boil, cover,
lower heat to medium, and let cook for 8 minutes. Add crawfish,
cover again and raise heat to high. After steam begins to escape from
under the lid, cook 7 minutes more. Remove from heat and let sit for
4 minutes. Do *NOT* remove the lid until this point!
Remove the onions, corn, and potatoes to a bowl and drain the
crawfish. Place the crawfish in a large insulated container (an ce
chest works well, as do the thick waterproof boxes chickens are
shipped in, which your butcher may give you for free). Have your
*SPRINKLE* ready and sprinkle over the crawfish and mix them well to
coat. Cover and let sit for 7 minutes.
Serve immediately with the onions, corn, new potatoes, and lots of
French bread on a large table covered with plenty of paper. When
everyone has eaten his fill, everyone "peels for the house." The
peeled tails can then be used in cold crawfish cocktail or salad or
for Fried Crawfish the next day. Serves 8-10 NOTE: Most of the salt
is not added until after the cooking process because too much salt
added during cooking makes the flesh of the crawfish adhere to the
shell. From Alex Patout's "Cajun Home Cooking" -- Random House

charges than it costs. One of the things I really like about Amazon
is that they have reviews on their products. Granted that reviews

The reviews can be filled with interesting information. I do occasionally buy parts for my guns on Amazon, surprisingly enough, since some of the stuff can be hard to come by even on places like eBay.

Once I find something I like, I will then cross check it with places
like Best Buy, Lowe's, Ace, Bed Bath and Beyond and other places that

Yep, same here. Since I live 30 minutes for anywhere, I am willing to wait a couple of days to be able to come home and have what I ordered waiting for me so I don't have to go through the hassle of physically shopping. About the only things I physically shop for now are groceries, toiletries, and a few automotive items. Other than that, it's online.

We have gotten things from overstock.com. Only recently heard of wayfare.com, but they sound interesting.

Wayfair is great. My parents have bought a lot of furniture from them. Free shipping and the quality of the furniture has been quite good. It surprised me, honestly. Once I get my own place, I might get a few things from them. I am crazy enough to drive down to IKEA in Atlanta with my parents' little 4x8' trailer in tow to pick up a few odds and ends. Just because, you know.

Our son also got stung on an auto purchase through Ebay. He got the vehicle but did not get paperwork he needed to register it in the US.
It took him months to get it cleared up.

I've heard several horror stories like that. I think I'd like to still shop for a vehicle in person.

The items that we have purchased on Ebay were mostly household decorations, hand crafted and were exactly as advertised.

I usually get older computer and amateur radio equipment off of eBay. A good example is I needed a USB 2.0 card for the BBS (yes, older). Bought a brand-new card with four external connectors and one internal for $5 with free shipping. This uses an industry-standard card and will work nicely with ArcaOS. This old NetVista I have the BBS on has USB 1.0 and you don't want to do any big file transfers with that. :D

That Philips seems to be the only one that we do not see at least a
handful of negative reviews. BUT, it is way more expensive than the
rest. Like you, we saw a Best Buy sale advert for a smaller Chefman at
$49.99 (reg = $69.99) and decided to get it just as a trial basis to
learn whether we liked the idea or not, and to help figure out what we
might want in a bigger/better model. Gail has liked it and is still
learning. BUT, we are still running up against a preponderance of
repeating negative reviews on most models we have looked at. So, the
jury is still out on what might be our forever Air Fryer (most likely if
we buy another, we might well keep this one as well).

I only begin to trust reviews when the same complaint is listed in
multiple reviews by verified purchases. Some errant reviews are easy
enough to spot -- e.g. someone reviewing a 10 quart Air fryer and
claiming it is too small. But when I see a half dozen reviews that talk
about teflon coating peeling off, or about bad plastic smell, I take
notice.

occasionally buy parts for my guns on Amazon, surprisingly enough,
since some of the stuff can be hard to come by even on places like
eBay.

Interesting. Can you buy enough parts to actually make a gun?

shopping. About the only things I physically shop for now are
groceries, toiletries, and a few automotive items. Other than that,
it's online.

Pretty much the same with us, but with some exceptions. We have been
known to buy small appliances from BJs or Costco -- but we go there for groceries anyhow.

I usually get older computer and amateur radio equipment off of eBay.
A good example is I needed a USB 2.0 card for the BBS (yes, older). Bought a brand-new card with four external connectors and one internal
for $5 with free shipping. This uses an industry-standard card and
will work nicely with ArcaOS. This old NetVista I have the BBS on has
USB 1.0 and you don't want to do any big file transfers with that. :D

I interpret what Nancy said to be the same sort of thing. Older
computer parts are not what I'd expect to find on Amazon. More likely
to obtain them from someone's basement as a result of a NextDoor post
(that is a nation wide blog type of thing that sponsors local
neighborhoods to form a network for sharing info, etc.).

Which one did you settle on? And how's it working out? I bought an air fryer from Best Buy from their "Deal of the Day" e-mail for small
change. Which I still haven't unboxed. It was *NOT* the Cook's
Illustrated "best" model (Philips TurboStar Airfryer, Avance Digital ($249.95)) as mine was more like $35.

That Philips seems to be the only one that we do not see at least a handful of negative reviews. BUT, it is way more expensive than the
rest. Like you, we saw a Best Buy sale advert for a smaller Chefman at $49.99 (reg = $69.99) and decided to get it just as a trial basis to
learn whether we liked the idea or not, and to help figure out what we might want in a bigger/better model. Gail has liked it and is still learning. BUT, we are still running up against a preponderance of repeating negative reviews on most models we have looked at. So, the
jury is still out on what might be our forever Air Fryer (most likely
if we buy another, we might well keep this one as well).

I have learned to parse out the negatives from reviewers who are obviously clewless as to the purpose/usage/requirements of the reviewed item - be
it a restaurant, a piece of equipment, a food stuff, whatever. Some people
are just filling a deep need to complain. Bv)=

I looked inside the shipping box - what I have is a 4L Emerald Digital.
It was roughly half-price on the sale deal w/free shipping so I didn't
even have to drive across town to pick it up.

Title: Air Fryer Sweet Potato Tots
Categories: Five, Potatoes, Vegetables
Yield: 4 servings

2 sm Sweet potatoes; peeled,
- 14 oz. total
1 tb Potato starch
1/8 ts Garlic powder
1 1/4 ts Kosher salt; divided
3/4 c Ketchup or Ketchup-Rooster
- Sauce mix
Cooking spray

Bring a medium pot of water to a boil over high heat.
Add potatoes, and cook until just fork tender, about 15
minutes. Transfer potatoes to a plate to cool, about 15
minutes.

Working over a medium bowl, grate potatoes using the
large holes of a box grater. Gently toss with potato
starch, garlic powder and 1 teaspoon salt.

Shape mixture into about 24 (1") tot-shaped cylinders.

Lightly coat air fryer basket with cooking spray. Place
1/2 of tots (about 12) in single layer in the basket,
and spray with cooking spray. Cook at 400°F/205°C until
lightly browned, 12 to 14 minutes, turning tots halfway
through cook time. Remove from fry basket and sprinkle
with 1/8 teaspoon salt. Repeat with remaining tots and
salt.

Serve immediately with ketchup.

Serves 4 (serving size: about 6 tots)
