    Pepper Grinder recommendations

    This is from an online obituary for Vic Firth. "Vic Firth Inc. was acquired by the Avedis Zildjian Company, a well-known maker of cymbals, in 2010 and has been known since then as the Vic Firth Company. For some years, Mr. Firth’s company also made highly regarded wooden kitchen implements...

    Pepper Grinder recommendations

    My William Bounds mill wore out after many years. I would have bought another exactly like it but, like DanHoo, I couldn't find a current model that met my needs. I bought a Peugeot and have been impressed by its quality. I also found a matching salt shaker, which I had to buy separately because...

    garage door torsion spring

    Did you run around trying to find out what had collapsed, like I did the first time my spring broke? 😲 The second time (years later, different house) I recognized the loud rumbling noise and didn't panic.

    garage door torsion spring

    I believe you'll find that the spring is most tightly wound, and thus under the greatest tension, when the door is fully closed.

    Any reports on the “Spider Venom” ATC?

    After watching a couple of videos I am impressed. The build quality appears to be good, and the design makes it look as if it was an original part of the grill. If I was limited to only one grill I'd be tempted. Since I have a WSM for low-and-slow my kettles are only used for grilling, and I run...

    Texas Pete is being sued

    I'm in Lewisville, and people are smart enough to know that it is Lewisville, NC and not Lewisville, TX. I guess the plaintiffs will be suing another hot sauce maker pretty soon:

    Belt or Suspenders

    Belt. I have never worn suspenders. Also, since jeans were mentioned in a couple of posts, I haven't worn jeans in years. I find cargo pants more comfortable and more practical.

    I Found a Platypus!

    For a second there I thought that was the one I saw listed for $75 in Huntersville, NC. (No, I don't know if it is still available. )

    New Dog Pics - Post Pics Of Your Best Friend!

    He got a good mixture of genes, whatever the source. I think he's a right handsome fellow. He and his two brothers were all up for adoption at the same time, and my daughter got the pick of the litter, literally.

    what are you cooking for labor day weekend ?

    I cooked three times (different days) for 11 people this past week: one butt, 10 pounds of grilled chicken, and 10 t-bone steaks. So I will be eating leftovers on Labor Day, no cooking for me. My next cook will be ribs; my 7-year-old grandson said he wanted to try "ribs that are all hooked...

    Favorite "not so usual" pizza topping

    I stick to the basics: pepperoni, mushrooms, Italian sausage, green (or red or yellow) peppers, and onions, in various combinations. And mozzarella cheese.
