This looks amazing. What I like about it is it’s pretty obviously customizable. You can’t eat salami? Use ham. You like red and green peppers? Toss ‘em in! Don’t have fontina, but do have some provolone? Honestly it’ll probably be pretty good anyhow.

Huh? A ‘97 Miata has 10 less horsepower, weighs a tick over a ton (2293) and has a heater, stereo, top, windows, etc. And you can keep the other $20k or so in your pocket.

Okay, I gave this a try. I was worried; there is a risk of wasting both bacon and peaches, after all! But it came out pretty good, I have to say.

The main reason I use Android Auto is that I can play Sirius XM in reasonably decent sound quality, rather than using the tuner in my car.

Oh man. Another use for those white peaches! Saved into Paprika!

Huh. Bacon? Check. Lettuce? Check. Mayo? Check. Bread? Check. Peaches? Check; some FANTASTIC white peaches just hit ripeness this morning.

If the amount of matter and antimatter was exactly the same, and they annihilated each other: would that leave an empty universe, or no universe at all? 

Last year, watermelons were the best we could remember ever. This year they are sorta watery and not very sweet. I looked it up, it is weather related. Here in the Northeast local melons will be available starting next week, we hope they will be better. Sunday I was talking to my farmer’s market guy, and he was…

Yep. The Rule of Avocados: If you cut into an avocado, eat it. All of it. There is no going back. Everything will be fine, it’s not a Snickers bar. Same rule applies to tomatoes. That one is called, The Rule of Tomatoes.

I don’t bake, or make smoothies, so my only option is to buy what I know we are going to eat in the next couple days. I get overwhelmed with wanting everything: cherries, blueberries, peaches, strawberries, plums, all of it! But if I get more than, say, four peaches for the two of us, then the rest will get wasted.…

I owned a Good Humor truck for a few years. This has to be the hardest service a vehicle could possibly see: stop sign to stop sign, 8-10 hours a day, 7 days a week, in mid summer heat. My truck was a ‘71 Ford P350 with a 300 straight 6 and the C4 automatic, and it had well over 100,000 miles when I bought it in ‘82.…

The blade pops out with a button for washing. And the latest electric can openers don’t cut the lid, but somehow pry it off the bottom, which I still have trouble understanding but love that there are no sharp edges. 

Huh. I thought that a flat bottom whisk was going to be listed. Mine is invaluable for making roux.

My BGE thermo tracks with Thermoworks and also with BBQ Guru. It just takes a while for everything to even out. 

I had the BGE first, since 2010, and added the Kettle in 2016, reasoning that if I wanted to do, say, ribs and grilled chicken, I’d need two cookers.

All in on this with you, especially for the Weber Kettle. You need to know the temp where the food is cooking, not at the top of the dome! 

Gallows humor. I live in NEPA, where some people can turn on their tap and light a match to it. We are definitely in trouble. 

I guess the good news is that more than half of it is not?

The other day we had Dominos for the first time in probably 20 years. It was the thin crust, and it was actually a decent pizza. I was pleasantly surprised.

I’m halfway through this book, Jamie has just arrived in Massachusetts. It’s odd. I enjoy it.
