    I won’t be doing that again (Scary)

    Dang John, what an alarming event. Considering what happened, as has been recommended by other guys, having a backup emergency O2 source would be mandatory in my book. Keeping it handy enough to implement within seconds would bring significant peace of mind, but I know you well enough to realize...

    Had to try this! FROZEN RIBS???

    This is a good example of what I like about this forum - always something new to try! Nice job :emoji_wink:

    Espresso Maker Suggestions

    A slight aside. In addition to our initial Saeco (read huge behemoth) purchase, we started with Nespresso over a decade ago because my wife fell for their advertisements. It worked fine for quite a few years, then gave out (likely user error). She had me purchase an updated model, but the...

    Vacuum Sealer on sale at Costco

    I started out with a Foodsaver V3825 that I still use occasionally, but for some reason doing large batches quickly caused it to fail a bit. The sealer bar would remain so hot it would prematurely seal the bags leaving a large air pocket within the sealed bag. Letting the unit cool would fix the...

    Espresso Maker Suggestions

    About two decades ago I purchased a Saeco fully automated espresso machine at Costco for about$1000. It was really expensive, especially for back then, but it has made excellent coffee ever since, with no down time nor repairs (I'm probably going to kick myself for having said that). It is a...

    Hernia mesh repair.

    I had an inguinal repair using mesh about 20 years ago and it was successful enough that I'd forgotten about it until I saw this post. I guess it might be just luck of the draw with the surgeon you get and how your body responds to the implanted mesh.

    Pulled pork Parmesan tacos

    Thanks guys! I hadn't thought about the keto diet - my wife recently had to go on one because of gut issues, so she'll be able to eat these. Besides, she loves Parmesan so much I purchae it in 3 lb blocks from Cash & Carry (they have a new name now, but I never remember it) 😁

    Pulled pork Parmesan tacos

    Thanks for the likes gents! Cojita would be great in my opinion, but that mild white goes with just about anything I like. Because I just wanted the meat and cheese adding the pork on half and folding over seemed the easiest (and laziest) way to go because I didn't even need to mess up a rack...

    Pulled pork Parmesan tacos

    This cook is nothing special and has probably already been done countless times , but I thought I'd post because it is kind of different for me. I did this cook back in 2013, but just came upon it while looking through my old pics library. I did a pork butt in the SRG which is my favorite tool...

    Buying a chain saw

    I spent decades using the big-box store chainsaw and finally drew up the courage to go with my first Stihl, which was a weed trimmer. It worked so well I decided to replace my old mismatched set of gas powered tools when they died. It also kind of helped that the local Stihl dealer is also the...

    Frozen Burgers in My Ninja

    Thanks for the reply John, I thought that might be the case about the burgers. I recently purchased a family package of chicken drums and want to make "chicken wing" drumsticks, which I have done in the oven with a somewhat of success. (actual chicken wings are more expensive than drums) Now...

    Frozen Burgers in My Ninja

    Man, those burgers sure look good, but what really caught my eye are those sliced baked taters fried in butter. I make them most times I have leftover baked potatoes (I typically ensure I have at least a few leftovers), and they are a favorite of mine for breakfast topped with a fried egg or...

    School me on why I need cast iron frying pans.

    It took a long time to season my pans to coal black from handle to spout, but once accomplished they became non-stick with a smooth slick surface. While I have other non-stick pans, I like the cast iron when I do things like searing a steak - because of the large thermal mass of the iron, the...

    Windows 11, anybody using it?

    If you don't plan on installing any new programs that would require a specific operating system, then it is perfectly okay to stick with what you have. Chances are, for at least the next 5-10 years, software developers will make their programs W10 compatible, else they'd lose sales to all the...

    Video games?

    I play video games like I do just about everything in my life - feast or famine, with times that I play non-stop and then not at all for a while. Although I started with the original Wolfenstein back in the old DOS days, I left video games until 2009 when I discovered Far Cry 2 which is still my...

    Pork Roll, with Egg & Cheese (Ninja)

    Man that looks good - had me droolin' at the finished product I can't remember if I told you, but I got the Ninja at your recommendation to do some air frying and did meatballs using fresh ground tri-tip for Christmas. Nice and crisp on the outside and tender and juicy within. Thanks for...

    A South African friend got me interested in making biltong

    Thanks crazymoon - my buddy from South Africa says slower (longer) drying times are better. He just uses a cardboard box, hangs the meat within and uses a fan to continuously blow ambient air over the meat. He says many people don't worry about bugs and leave the box open, but he likes to use a...
