    You gave her many wonderful years. She sounds like a remarkable character. She would not have survived nearly as long without your family. And remember she chose you. She knew what she was doing. 💔

    SPLASH! Foaming Toilet Bowl Cleaner

    I don't like most clinging gel cleaners. I wish they did make something that would just clean all by itself because I'm am a lazy bathroom cleaner.

    What's the last movie you watched?

    I'm not much of a movie person these days. I watch a lot of westerns on INSP channel. So I watched a couple of movies on there this weekend. Hombre starring Paul Newman was really good. Now I'm watching an old 1970s James Garner movie called Cowboy Castaway that is super dumb but entertaining...

    What type pan do you use the most?

    I see all these beautiful enamel pans, but I can't have anything heavy because of one bad shoulder. My only heavy thing is my old iron skillet.

    What type pan do you use the most?

    Yes. It's just a small tfal non-stick. What makes it good for eggs is there are no brads on the inside surface to interfere with scraping the side.

    What is the difference between BBQ and smoking?

    Here they like to flame grill. I use charcoal and wood together. So I like my steaks and my burgers char-broiled.

    What type pan do you use the most?

    I have one of those huge paella non-stick pans, and for someone who doesn't make paella I use it often enough. I will make smothered steak in it or browning a lot of chicken and it's especially good for skirt steak if I need to make more than one of them. If I'm just making one I just do it in...

    What type pan do you use the most?

    My favorite stainless Dutch oven has a thick bottom on it but it's best feature is the lid. It has one of those lids with a deep rib and the rim fits out inside the pot but also has holes for steaming if you want to turn it around to line up with the pour spouts on the pan. So if you put a piece...

    What type pan do you use the most?

    I have one of those little trays but it is pretty beat up. It's just right for one piece of something.

    What type pan do you use the most?

    What type pan do you find that you use the most? I use a dutch oven for so many things. I have one heavy 5 quart stainless one I use the most and then I have one lightweight nonstick one I use occasionally for like green beans or sometimes a quick saute and noodles dish. I used to use a deep...

    What is the difference between BBQ and smoking?

    On grilling if you don't soak your chunks, your fire will burn too hot and just burn everything. That's really the main thing you have to learn with every different grill is to not let it get too hot and burn your food. I don't know that there would be a need to do it for smoking. Like the...

    Easter lunch/dinner - 31st March 2024

    Since I had already kind of made my Eastery Sheet pan ham and sweet potatoes and green beans earlier in the week and I'm still eating on it, since I woke up craving barbecued smoked turkey sandwich, I ordered some in and had that in made frozen tater tots with cheddar and ranch dressing just for...

    What is the difference between BBQ and smoking?

    Smoking is low heat and slow cooking for a long period of time keeping the smoke from the wood going. Barbecue is a faster preparation so think about the difference between making a pot roast and cooking a steak. Barbecue also uses wood that's been soaked and I don't ever grill without...

    Maybe once a year I have a day when everything tastes so salty that I can't eat it, but I think it's some kind of a taste anomaly.

    Baking Sheet Recommendation

    The one I just got goes up to 450, but then what if you need to put it on broil for 2 minutes? I guess you just open the door because I always open the door on broil. That one I ended up getting is kind of heavy but the main issue with it is it is not steep sided enough for most purposes. Not...

    I eat a lot of salt but I do know that if you lay off the salt for a while your taste buds adjust. I guess the problem is that a lot of the ingredients have salt in them.

    At a good restaurant that wasn't a chain or something, you should be able to ask them to prepare something without the seasoning.

    Baking Sheet Recommendation

    I have definitely thought about those. I mean for the dexterity and everything they can't be beat. I may get some of those too! I think the advantage to those would be if you were removing a sheet pan you wouldn't stick the pot holder into the food. I mean I need to have spares anyway

    Baking Sheet Recommendation

    After reading recommendations for half sheet pans and almost deciding to get a metal instead of non-stick one, I went with my gut and bought an Analon non-stick because 1) I had my non-stick sheet pan for decades before it finally wore out from putting foil on it and 2) this particular pan has a...
