    Winco Egg-Price Ripoff!!!!

    Update: Kudos to WinCo! Eggs are a HUGE part of my low-carb/kinda keto/kinda carnivore diet. I eat 4-8 eggs a day; my wife 2-3. On the bottom of every WinCo receipt is a pin number where one can complete a survey and earn a chance to get a gift card. Forget about the card. I blasted WinCo on...

    Chili -There is a right way

    Looks fantastic, and as soon as the weather turns cold here in central north Kalifornia (still having 100°F+ days), I'll dig to the bottom of my freezer and resurrect a brisket that's hibernating in there. Brisket point chili, smoked (best), or not (still great), is my favorite chili meat. And...

    What are you watching ?

    The Penquin on HBO/Max. The story is well done, but the actor play Oz (the Penquin), deserves 10 Emmys for his portrayal. I watched 30 mins of the first episode before who I looked was playing the character. When I saw it, I actually yelled an unprintable exclamation. When my wife got home, she...

    Making Homemade Vanilla Extract

    The price of vanilla beans has dropped from $155 / lb to $99 /lb at Saffron Imports in San Francisco. Their beans are always top notch. I'm on my last bottle of the four 750ml bottles of pure vanilla extract I made in 2015. I generally let them get half empty then recharge with more vodka...

    Looking for recommendations on cookware?

    2 of our 3 All-Clad non-stick pans have been tossed in the recycle bin. I replaced them with 8" and 10" Merten and Storck pre-seasoned, carbon-steel pans (German company but made in China). Priced $20 and $30 on sale at Amazon. They should last a lifetime. There's a short learning curve with...

    Grocery Shopping Advice to Save Money

    If there is a "bag your own" grocery store in your area, the prices are generally lower than full-service grocers. The store or chain's savings on overhead is often reflected in prices. Store brands are often as good as the advertised brands, but not always. Buy once and see what you get...

    Bone-In Pork Sirloin Roast IT?

    Ooopsie. Sorry, I'm a day late. Below is a screenshot of my spreadsheet. You can do the simple math for the weight of your pork loin. Oh, and before I cure it, I cut it into sections with the thickness I want, which is usually about 1 1/4 to 1 1/2 inches. When I smoke it at 225-250F, I only...

    Bone-In Pork Sirloin Roast IT?

    Wow. Haven't done CB in a while. I'll have to check my logbook or spreadsheet to provide the inspiration. Check back tomorrow! Ray

    Price Fixing in meat (all types), eggs, and dairy industries

    The investigations are starting on artificially inflated prices in the above industries. I just read a third article today about why prices are so high. I have no problem when supply/demand are impacted by market forces, but to artificially jack up prices, manipulate supply/demand, and collude...

    Winco Egg-Price Ripoff!!!!

    Yuck. Yeah, I would have passed, too. I always inspect the 60-egg paks I buy at Costco. In 9 months, I've only tossed 3 eggs with broken shells and they were under the label or on the second level where you can't see their condition. I noticed this morning that the regular, white shelled...

    Winco Egg-Price Ripoff!!!!

    There are news articles about a popular grocery chain (not Winco) that raised egg and milk prices beyond what should have been dictated by inflation levels. Supply, demand, profit, price gouging, blah, blah, blah. As mentioned earlier, I changed my shopping destinations BASED PURELY ON EGG...

    Prayers for My Wife Please...

    John, so hard to hear what's going on. Thoughts, prayers, angels, Divine Intervention, and Love sent your wife's way in torrents. Stand close to her and absorb the splashes. Ray

    Another way to use cheap $3.45 per pound Choice tri tip.

    Dan, absolutely belly busting use of TT. Beautiful. It's a West Coast thing, the home of TT. I usually stock up when I see the price drop below $4/lb from $7/lb.

    waking up the kitchenaid mixer thread

    Yep. Before I ordered one, I looked at several and saw a lot of complaints about too short, too long, etc. After 20 years, I couldn't tell you the size of my KA bowl. So, I measured the OEM C-hook from top to bottom. Then, before I ordered one on Amazon, I looked for a seller that provided a...

    homemade hamburger meat?

    I used to grind up chuck roast or brisket in my food processor, then run it through the grinder attachment on the KA. Then one of my daughters gifted us a Ninja food processor to replace our 40 year old processor. That Ninja has a 4 blade chopper that almost works as well as the KA grinder. I've...

    waking up the kitchenaid mixer thread

    We have the tilt-head Classic. 20 years old. It's been used for everything from cakes to bread to sausage to pasta. The weak link is a plastic drive gear, which I found out much later. Ours still works but can't handle stiff bread dough kneading any longer. Replacing the gear is not an easy task...

    My 14 yo 60" Panasonic TV went kaput yesterday

    A 5.1 or 7.1 sound system connected to the TV is a must in our house. The TV, Roku, Blu-ray, and cable box are all connected to the receiver. Nice thing about a Sony TV and a Sony receiver is they talk to each other, making setup easy.

    My 14 yo 60" Panasonic TV went kaput yesterday

    Sony enthusiast here. Here's our TV story. I had a little 12" B&W TV left over from my uni days when I got married and deployed in the Navy. I came home from an 8 month deployment, slept for 18 hours straight, fixed dinner, and we turned on the TV to watch while eating. As we sat there in...
