Oh that’s a good tip! I’ll play around with that. I honestly used it once like two years ago, then decided to use it again on a whim without re-reading anything about it. I love the snake so much, so this is promising.

“Buying a new car is simply a terrible financial decision in every sense. You’ll almost always come out better buying a used car of relatively recent vintage.”

Totes. I have made some delicious sous-b-que with only one hour on the weber kettle... The nice part too (at least for those of us who use charcoal) is no dealing with minion setups or any of that - just enough charcoal and wood (tho I have had to add chunks from time to time) to get it rolling for the shorter smoke…

I didn’t even think about the environmental impact! That’s a great point!

I’ve been engaging in what Norm King (RIP) referred to as sous-b-que for quite a few years and can’t bring myself to go back to smoking a piece of meat from the start. Doing it with a chuck steak yields a wonderful piece of smoked meat with less effort, easier grill setup, and way less smoke released into the…

Safety Net Debt: HELOC with no balance (emergency fund)

Only other reason I can think is someone who literally can’t do anything but lie down (or can’t do it without severe pain), but even there I can think of better solutions.

you (and or tiktok) should definitely change the title. this does not change anything into a pressure washer. you’re not modifying the pressure of the hose (which is what pressure washer’s do....increase pressure from the supply). all you’ve done is make an impromptu soap dispenser. and possibly a plant killer…

You’re gonna pay around double for a dumb TV, and they lack a lot of other features that come standard on TVs now. That Samsung and Sceptre you linked don’t have HDR, for example. The ad revenue subsidizes the cost of the smart TV.

I’m sure despite all their rage, they were still just a rat in a cage.

Were you filled with mellon collie and infinite sadness?

We are basically hoping for it to be available to 5-11 year olds by the end of the year. Possibly as soon as October but that’s if everything goes as planned and then it takes a while to get to that window of two weeks past the second shot. It’s frustrating as a parent of an elementary aged kid but I obviously want…

The Youtube video MadScientistBBQ did a blind taste test between a bunch of identical cuts of steak cooked with various methods.

You’re in luck because I am making a conscious effort to cover more fish in general. The albumin thing is a good blog idea!

Spoiling the kid a bit on the tooth fairy somehow feels way more fun than spoiling them on Christmas or birthday gifts, to me. Maybe it’s the random nature of it. There are also only so many baby teeth, and they fall out over years. So it’s not a huge investment either overall or at any given point, even if you give…

I do the same.  I’m down to two bags from last year and counting on that next upcoming sale.

If you stick with briquettes, Home Depot and Lowes both run great sales on Kingsford charcoal around every “outdoor” holiday, meaning Memorial Day, Independence Day, and Labor Day. I usually stock up with 10 or so bags on Memorial Day. This usually gets me through the summer, but not always. 

Welcome to grilling Claire! I’m glad to see the classic kettle, I’m a longtime Weber user. I’ve found that Weber branded products in general are worth the slight price premium vs other brands. I’m even a huge fan of their bamboo skewers. Instead of being round like most, they are more sword-shaped, so the meat doesn’t…

Isn't that technically what any gas stove is? I mean, yeah, you could start a grease fire, but plenty (read millions) of people use a gas stove every day and don't set their house on fire. 

My teeth are sadly an absolute shambles - I got jumped when I was 16 and beaten badly with a baseball bat, so I’ve basically got a bunch of cracked stumps which have just progressively fallen to bits over the years. I’m almost 40 now and I absolutely hate what’s left of my teeth as people likely assume I’m just really…
