Okay, I'm from the Pacific Northwest. We don't claim to know much regarding food around here, aside from coffee, Pacific Salmon, Dungeness Crab, and maybe a couple of other things. The thing that annoys me are the people who come to my neighborhood, and then claim that their neighborhood is...

So making good coffee is a part of cooking, right? I'm wondering if anyone here roasts their own coffee beans, and if so, what they use to do it?

My favorites I picked up a few years ago in a home improvement store on clearance sale for about three bucks a pair. I bought their last two. They were being sold as "fireplace gloves" and are basically welder's gloves in light blue. They're pretty dandy, though. Cuffs that come almost up to my...

Okay, please forgive me if this question has been done to death, but I did a little search, and the threads I found were a year old or better. I'm pretty much a traditionalist, and up until now, about the most "gadgety" thing I owned was an egg slicer. Oh, that and my plastic shrimp peeler. I...

I own a selection of six Henckels "Professional S" series knives, and am quite happy with them. However, as my budget is not unlimited, when I went to buy cookware, I did the reasearch, and decided to buy the Wolfgang Puck brand, which I have also been quite happy with for several years. Due...

Well, first off, not to sound unfriendly, but I am only posting this so the danged message telling me to do so will go away. (I hope.) You'll all get to know me soon enough through my posts in the forums. Anyhoo, as long as I'm at it, I'll tell you a bit about myself. I am not (nor do I wish...
