    Ordered a Lodge enameled Dutch Oven

    Most of the high end brands have a visual imperfection sale at some point. Just got a Staub La Cocotte 7 quart for $200. It retails for $500. The imperfection was almost impossible to find, it was a minuscule lack of enamel on the underside of one handle. None of the imperfections are claimed to...

    Vacuum sealing mason jars - my experience so far

    I've got a very similar product and love it. Great for dried fruit.

    Way off topic but I found a new garden hose to replace my expandable versions.

    I got a Giraffe auto-retractable hose on a reel about 1.5 years ago, liked it so much I got a couple more. The retract mechanism is so strong, it reels itself back in when done with the user carefully walking with it. I say carefully because if it accidentally gets away from you it will retract...

    Olive Recommendations

    I've rarely encountered an olive I'm not a fan of, but Marmarabirlik Dried Natural Black Olives from Turkey are phenomenal. They can be found in Turkish or Mediterranean grocery stores as well as Amazon. They're wonderful!

    "Dispatching" Skunks

    I don't follow what you mean? If I do follow, based on my interpretation, that's horrific, there's got to be a more humane solution. My apologies if I've totally misinterpreted.

    I know there's Hellmann' and Dukes but............

    Good point, just so happens I do have some wasabi powder. I used it recently to put on some smoked almonds.

    I know there's Hellmann' and Dukes but............

    I just don't consider Miracle Whip to be mayo, it even refers to itself as a salad dressing. Not a hater, just think it's an apples to oranges comparison. I think it's similar to calling Durkees, mustard. It's mustard like, but certainly not mustard.

    I know there's Hellmann' and Dukes but............

    I'm not familiar with that either, but I am willing to spend a wee bit extra for good mayo. Case in point: Kewpie from a good Asian store. Pricey but well worth it for the umami kick. World Market sells it but from my experience, it has to be an Americanized version that lacks the magic of what...

    Meica "Mini Wini" Cocktail Sausages

    Any familiarity with these diminutive German cocktail wieners? A jar caught my eye recently and they followed me home. Thinking a pig in blanket treatment, lightly pre-smoked or something. I'm also tempted to just pop them into my mouth straight out of the jar. I have no shame when it comes to...

    Roasting a Bull

    My wife and I went to an event in South Carolina several years ago where they cooked an entire cow on one of these spits, as well as a plethora of other large, intact animals. It's quite a sight to see, but our collective takeaway, as well as everyone we spoke to was that it's a disservice to...

    James jerky drier - again

    My experience is that they take care of their customers. Hopefully that'll be yours as well. I would be a bit put off if asked to mess with the wiring on a new product though.

    Sourdough Turmeric/Black pepper

    Thanks for the inspiration! Just made a focaccia with a touch of turmeric and black pepper. Added a wee bit of sumac and lemon zest for added complexity, and a few Kalamata olives. It will be pared with a Chicken, tomato, black olive, white wine style stew tonight.

    Nice! I just started a turmeric and black pepper tincture.

    Smokin-It #1 lifespan?

    This is an analog model almost certainly. If so, I'd jump on it. Even if the element burns out, replacements are DIY and readily available from Smokin-It. I've had my #1 probably 8 years, use it frequently, and zero problems. I'd buy it again in a heartbeat. You'll be amazed how much you can fit...

    mandoline slicer

    I've got a Benriner Japanese mandoline, love the simplicity of it. Ultimately though, I almost always opt for an appropriate knife and a sufficiently sized cutting board. The mandoline slicer screams "danger" to me.
