Kevin,

When it comes to using the flour I haven't gotten into the nuances of the actual grinding result, like absorption, as I'm just throwing something together for fun. I decided on the KA attachment after reading/watching some material here, The Prairie Homestead. Jill Winger had a promotion going on for it, so I got it at a decent price along with several pounds of different wheat berries. I do like the fact that it feeds directly into the bowl.

Your quest for an all-in-one grinder is one that a lot of people go on. I think the key would be quickly interchangeable stones so that anything ground with an oil content, like coffee beans, will be dedicated for that purpose only.

On your KA find, I have a similar one. About two years ago I saw a post online for a used KA mixer w/missing attachments and bowl for $20. Didn't need it, but thought one KA is good, two is better.

Kevin, I have the Mockmill attachment. Although I don't use it a lot, when I do it's usually for a couple loaves of bread and it performs very well. Also, I mount it on a 30 year old Ultra Power 300 Watt KA. I've followed Mr. Mixer's re-greasing video for two mixers.

I've had great success with Misen brand tongs. I have the stainless and also silicone tipped. I've used them with non-stick, stainless steel, carbon steel, pellet grill, and finally an outdoor flattop. Misen Tongs

A properly strung Rambone is much easier to carry and conceal, as accurate, as powerful, and faster to load than a wrist rocket. They are also cheaper and easier to source rubber for.  Here's an expert in their use.

You must have missed Joerg Sprave as he served himself a headshot with a huge slingshot against a target leaning onto his garden shed.
Nice round hole luckily between the eyes and not in the eyes.

He was weeping big time for his wife with blood rinsing out of his forehead ..

Had a wrist rocket in the '70s, what a blast to use. Always scoured the local train tracks for "railroad marbles", taconite ore. "Often found near railroad beds are rough rusty-brown spheres of taconite or "iron" ore. These aren't really marbles, but I'll mention them here just to prevent any confusion. Taconite is a mineral containing about 25-30% iron in the form of magnetite. It was not a profitable source of iron until after World War II, and in the 1950s a process was devised that made it more commercially viable. In this process, the taconite is pulverized and the magnetite is separated by magnets. This iron powder is then combined with clay and limestone to form pellets containing 65% iron. These pellets are commonly conveyed by rail, and are lost through accidents or poor handling along railroad tracks." Ohio Metal Detecting

Wow, that was a lot to get through. I am considering including sunchokes in a newly started food forest/re-nativization area of about an acre. Soil is silty-loam with red clay at about 6-8" of depth. The property owner is concerned about the aggressive growth nature and wants a plan for control before planting. I would like to cover an area at least 4x20. Any suggestions for containment without breaking the bank? Obviously harvesting all of the tubers when ready would be the ideal method.

One thing I have been mulling over is excavating clay from a section of the property for other projects, but could I use clay to basically build a barrier along the sides of a dug border, down to the depth of the inground clay?

Maybe consider the winter sowing method? Lots of info online and a Facebook group that includes the creator of the method. https://extension.psu.edu/starting-seeds-in-winter

We have the Power Air Fryer Pro and put it to good use. This model produces great results because it replicates an oven with a front opening door, racks instead of a basket or hopper, and a built in rotisserie function that uses a spit or round basket.

It's great for reheating food that is best with a crunchy texture, like pizza crust. Frozen battered fish comes out ok but may improve once I take the advice from a previous post about starting on a lower temperature then increasing it. And, of course, french fries are perfect.

It is roomy enough to accommodate a few pounds worth of different meats, some of which we have cooked with great success, ham, beef, and chicken.

This along with it's companion, the Power Cooker XL, fulfills a lot of our cooking needs.

Welcome Patrick and thank you for the opportunity to possibly win one of your Hori Hori knives. I've been shopping around for one to aid in my lawn replacement project in Southeastern Pennsylvania, USA. So far part of the lawn has been replaced with highbush blueberries, horseradish, asparagus, brussels sprouts, cabbage, Kazakh melons, luffa squash, daikon radishes and potatoes grown from seeds not seed potatoes. Along with vegetables I've also incorporated native plants such as Joe Pye Weed, wild bergamot, ostrich fern, and creeping phlox.

Around Pennsylvania they're also known as walking tacos.

On the original question though... Pennsylvania Dutch scrapple.
