    Beer.

    Had an adventure yesterday visiting Lightning Brewing in Poway. Tucked away, practically hidden in an industrial park complex. Very small tasting room, we were they only ones there at opening. Friendly owner/brew master. We sampled a flight while munching on In-n-Out burgers we picked up on...

    First steak ever for preteen

    As long as you ask your son to try a piece plain first before going to the sauce. ;)

    First steak ever for preteen

    From some of your other posts it looks like you are a 'seasoned' CI user - so I'd use that to cook your son's first steak on. :) My recommendation would be to go New York strip as it still has vg beef flavor and can have good marbling as a rib eye - while having a slightly firmer texture than a...

    Be careful with your mail

    Ring door bell camera

    We got a Ring doorbell to integrate with our Blink camera/hub setup. It is hardwired to the old doorbell to ring the chime - works just fine.

    Shucking Corn

    Same here. I like grilled corn, husk off, to get some color and flavor on the cob.

    Too hot to grill?

    We had that happen 3 summers ago, right in the middle of a heatwave - house got up to 86F inside. It turned out to be the infamous burnt out capacitor which cost $10 in parts and $100 in labor. I'm tempted to stock up on these like Ralphie's dad stocked up on fuses from A Christmas Story...
