I do not own one, as I already own a BlendTec. But, as a fan of Instant Brands appliances, I would grab this in a heart beat if I needed one. From what I have heard on Instant Brands Facebook forums, due to the heating element in the bottom of the glass carafe, the carafe is quite heavy. The carafe is also fairly small in capacity, compared to other standard blenders. One thing to keep in mind is that the Soup setting actually cooks the soup via the heating element; it is not heated up via friction. This means, if you are making a soup with dairy in it you need to blend in the dairy at the end of Soup cycle, not during. Dairy tends to settle to the bottom of the carafe, and several users on the forums reported the dairy scorching under the blades. Unlike a friction heated blender, the Soup cycle takes as long as 20+ minutes to cook. But, the temperature is set for boiling, 212 degrees F, which I believe is much hotter than a friction blender generates. But, this contributes to the long Soup cycle, as the heating element in the bottom is all that is heating up the ingredients. Finally, again due to the heating element in the bottom of the carafe, the bottom is not removable for cleaning. Hence the caution of scorching dairy on the bottom. The Clean cycle is not enough to scrape off anything which gets scorched on. Even with these caveats, I would love to own one.

If you look at the ad on walmart.com and hover over an item, an Item Details button pops up. This is what it says for both the Instant Pot Duo 6-quart and the Instant Brands Ace Blender: So, both items should be available online, from what I'm seeing.

This happened to me a couple of years ago. I bought the married couple who are my landlords tickets to an AL Stewart concert in a local, very intimate theater. If I recall, I even managed to score front row tickets. Turned out the husband got his wife tickets to a country music festival for the same night. Since the wife prefers country music, and she enjoys AL Stewart, but not like the husband (who tolerates country concerts to please his wife) the adage, "if mama ain't happy..." applied.

And I think this is the first year with online ordering!

Wait... Isn't Target currently doing free shipping on all orders with no minimum?

Keto has made me more energetic as well, and I am very sedentary. I believe it is the combination of the anti-inflammatory aspects of following clean keto (which, I don't do 100%, but more than 50% of my intake), and the 70 pounds I have lost in the 16 and a half months since I started this WOE. I have at least another 50 more pounds to go; preferably 63, but I'll be happy at 50. I don't expect it to come off as rapidly, but as long as I don't gain, I'll stick with the plan.

Try bringing the email to the customer service desk at your local Target and tell them you forgot to apply the coupon. You never know; they may refund the difference.

Congratulations!

I made This Old Gal's Bourbon Pumpkin Pie Cheesecake for Thanksgiving last year. I highly recommend it! The attached file is the one I made. https://thisoldgal.com/instant-pot-bourbon-pumpkin-pie-cheesecake/ This year, I'm going to try making it lower carb, by making an almond flour based "graham cracker" crust, and using sugar alcohols in place of the sugars, including making my own candied pecans to decorate. We'll see how it turns out.

I went ahead and took advantage of the Simply Vera Wang leggings for $9.99 with the 20% off code. With the code, I paid $7.99/pair. I'm good with that. I didn't spend enough to get Kohl's Cash, but I'm good with that as well. What amazes me is that I'm out of plus size and in to ladies. I'm fitting in to leggings for a size 12/14, without them being stretched out. Woo-hoo!

Big Red, my 6-quart heavy duty bowl lift KitchenAid mixer, has been wanting one of these since she came in to my life. https://www.amazon.com/Attachment-KitchenAid-Included-Spaghetti-Fettuccine/dp/B07X1RHSX3/ref=sr_1_1_sspa?crid=KLGGZXKLWRM5&keywords=kitchenaid+pasta+attachments+for+stand+mixers&qid=1573001205&sprefix=kitchen+aid+pasta%2Caps%2C456&sr=8-1-spons&psc=1&spLa=ZW5jcnlwdGVkUXVhbGlmaWVyPUEyS0wzNFZQWVhIU0swJmVuY3J5cHRlZElkPUEwNjY3NzU2MTBTNUE5R04yUEdEUiZlbmNyeXB0ZWRBZElkPUEwOTI1NDIxM1NZUkVQUlVSUjFWUSZ3aWRnZXROYW1lPXNwX2F0ZiZhY3Rpb249Y2xpY2tSZWRpcmVjdCZkb05vdExvZ0NsaWNrPXRydWU=

My understanding is yes, those of us who have won survival kits are eligible for the gift card. I have two questions though: 1. As the predict the first ad gift card winner, am I eligible to win another gift card? 2. If so, are my links acceptable? I tend to use amazon smile, but my understanding is that those links do not generate revenue for my charity unless I'm buying. Does the amazon smile metric interfere with GottaDeal's affiliate links from the site?

Are you trying to download the pdf? The scan of the ad is working fine for me. You can also try accessing the ad on Kohl's site directly at: https://kohls.shoplocal.com/Kohls/BrowseByPage/Index/?StoreID=2482787&PromotionCode=Kohls-191128BFPV&PromotionViewMode=1#MaxPageNumber=1

I use this a lot on my mastectomy and reconstruction scars. A fantastic product! https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00AREGVUM?psc=1&ref=ppx_pop_dt_b_product_details

My partner and I both like to use racks on half sheet pans in the oven for cooking, but the cooling racks I bought at The Dollar Tree are not holding up to the heat of the oven. So, these Wilton racks seem like a good buy. It's listed as a cooling rack, but popped up on a search for baking racks, so I hoping it will hold up in the oven. https://www.amazon.com/Wilton-Industries-Perfect-Results-Cooling/dp/B003W0UNM0/ref=sr_1_1?keywords=wilton+half+sheet+pan+baking+rack&qid=1572722403&sr=8-1

I really want this new model Instant Pot, but in the 8-quart size. Kohl's is listening it as out of stock, but Williams Sonoma is currently selling it. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07W55DDFB/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_i_1f8UDbVC64R8Q

When I won randomly by posting in a contest thread, Brad posted the winners in thread. He also messaged me to verify my mailing address.

Thank y'all for searching!

My survival kit arrived today! No gift card or t-shirt, but some cool items. Thanks, Brad!

Ooo... I haven't made this yet, but I find Two Sleevers receipts to be very reliable. Here is her keto pumpkin pie. Again, I'll probably use Gnom-Gnom's graham cracker crust instead. https://twosleevers.com/low-carb-pumpkin-pie/

Have you discovered chaffles yet? There is a corn bread chaffle which some have used to make dressing with. I made the keto dressing from the savory shortbread last year. While I loved the bread for turkey sandwiches over the weekend, I wasn't impressed with it cubed up and made in to dressing. Others love it though. https://www.isavea2z.com/keto-stuffing-recipe-made-savory-keto-bread/ I'm also going to experiment with This Old Gal's Bourbon Pumpkin Pie Cheesecake. I made it successfully per the recipe before. This time I plan to use Gnom-Gnom's keto "graham cracker" crust for the base, and use birch Xylitol for the white sugar and Swerve brown sugar for the brown sugar. I'll probably add a tiny bit of pure stevia extract as well, since Swerve is only 70% as sweet as sugar. Gnom-Gnom also has a receipt for keto candied pecans, which I use to decorate. I'll give that a try as well. This is what my full carb version of the Bourbon Pumpkin Pie Cheesecake looked like. I'm hopeful ketofying it will work.

I'll ask a question. In the Christmas song game thread, I posted a lyric from a song my high school chorus performed for one of our holiday concerts. Being that it was at least 42 years ago, I only remember the one line, although I do recall the song itself was variations on Jingle Bells sung in the style of different cultures. I searched for the actual title and lyrics, but came up empty handed. None of the other players knew it, although a guess was made at Jingle Bell Jazz, but the link to the lyric is broken, and I don't recall the song being jazzy in any way. I recall it being called something like Jingle Bells Around the World, but all that is coming up is sheet music for an instrumental for symphonic band. The lyric I recall is: On a one horse surfboard sung in a Hawaiian/Polynesian style. Does this sound familiar to anyone? It is now driving me loco.
-
Again, I'm pretty sure it was Jingle Bells Around the World for vocals, but I'll do another one. Lyric: Forced him to land behind the enemy lines (hint: it's my favorite, especially the 12 minute long version)

I don't recall it being called a jazz piece, but I won't argue. I would live a link to the broken oage, to see if anything else sounds familiar.
