    New toy for jerky and more

    The threads on each end of the tube were thin plastic. Took about 2 years, but they eventually cracked and came off. I did get a lot of use out it before then, though.

    New toy for jerky and more

    I had one of those several years ago; the plastic fittings finally gave out. Looks like they might have improved the design.

    A Nice Get Together

    Looks like a great spread. I noticed the Lumpias in the bottom left hand corner. My ex-wife's aunt was Filipino, and I really miss her lumpias. So much better than the ones I tried to make.

    Water Filters with Chip

    High end doesn't always guarantee low maintenance. My friend bought a Sub-Zero fridge and a Viking range, and has had numerous problems with them both.

    Meat puzzle

    Those look like tri-tips.

    Water Filters with Chip

    I came across this just last week on with my ex-wife's fridge. You can find a ton of "non-chipped" filters for $10 on Ebay, but they won't work unless you peel the label off the chipped one, and stick it over the sensor at the back of mount. Doing this will save you money, but it won't reset the...

    What are you watching ?

    Ha! I remember Shirley "Cha-Cha" Muldowney! She used to race at Puget Sound Raceway regularly.

    "sinko-de mayo" folded quesadillas

    Interesting. I'll have to give that a whirl.

    You're kids ever borrow something and ya never see it again?

    Good lord, that sounds like my daughter. She's the mechanically minded one in her family. Doofus husband doesn't know one end of a screwdriver from another. Yeah, every time I needed a tool I'd search the entire garage, and finally have to call her and ask, "Hey, do you have my..." whatever...

    We're Not the Only Ones

    Saw this at a local breakfast joint. I think somebody local supplies their bacon and pit ham. It tastes much more like something we would make, rather than from a restaurant supply store.

    Cocktails Thread

    Sounds like a riff on a Paloma, which are very refreshing. Tequila, grapefruit pop, and lime juice. Sometimes served with a salted rim.

    Hexclad Pan Review, Real World Real Time - Lots of Pictures!

    Yep, I still have most of my Revere Ware set from 1981, wedding gift from my parents. They still have theirs, which was a wedding gift in 1958. The bottoms are bowed and uneven on mine, though. Likely because my son cooked everything on high heat. It took years to break him of that habit.

    And now a random photo

    Same, at least until I retire and am home full time to be with one. Lost ours a few years ago to cancer. She was actually my daughter's dog, but I was the only one who took her out for a burger now and then, so she especially loved me. I go to a dog-friendly pub and take treats for the dogs...

    And now a random photo

    Ha! That's where our dog would be whenever a spider crawled across the floor. In her defense, we did have some pretty big Hobo spiders.

    Sourdough Pain de Campagne

    I would love to use that silicone sling thing, but most of my loaves are fairly high hydration, and would collapse over both sides before I could get them in the dutch oven. I just go with parchment paper, and try my best not to get my hands and arms branded.

    Wet Aging Beef Roast!?

    Most restaurants wet age their beef.

    Halibut Fishing!

    I always wanted to do that with my dad, but never did. Back in the 70's & 80's they would run ads for trips in the local newspapers, the Seattle Times & PI. Those Alaska trips seemed somewhat affordable back then. They look like they're a pretty penny now.

    Don't Forget to Check the Clearance Aisle!

    I would throw my wife's line back at her: "But honey, I'm saving money."
