What's the difference between an entomologist and an etymologist? An etymologist would know. Sorry, this thread triggered the dad joke part of my brain.

We're about 90% done. I am exhausted and I have to have lost at least 10 pounds doing all this in the 90+ degree weather we've had. There are a couple of small things still at the old house and we still have some boxes to unpack (not counting the ones we put in the basement to go through...

Both. It is functional and has a full chimney (it's on the side the garage). But the little walls at the fireplace hearth need some masonry work, as does the short brick wall around the patio. We'll probably have that done and maybe hire a chimney sweep before using it. And I'm not sure I...

I've been off line for a while, in the process of moving to a new home. Well, new to us, but it was built in 1939. We closed and got the keys on Friday and had the beds, clothes, and kitchen stuff loaded in a small U-Haul already and after unloading that, my wife and daughters went to...

Thanks for the opinions. I'm still debating, but think I might wait until we're in and settled a little before deciding, because we're already talking about some new furniture, some new tvs, an additional patio, etc.. So new pans should probably be down on the list. Speaking of patio, I am...

With one more hurdle to work through, it appears we are about to move to a new home. This home has a very nice induction cook top that I am looking forward to using. I have quite a few cast iron and stainless skillets, both of which will work on the induction cook top. But I mostly use the...

What and what amounts of dressings I put on a burger depend on what kind of burger, how it was made, who made it, and what other toppings (grilled onions, bacon, jalapenos, cheese, etc.) are on it. The one in the OP would get nothing. This will open a can of worms and I'll probably regret...

Here is my grill light. Hue bulb in an outdoor, wet rated fixture. It used to be in the metal, canvas roofed gazebo over our deck table, but that had seen better days and was removed. I can set the color temp to whatever I want/need.

My local Meijer has had some Kingsford branded gloves in the grill section pretty consistently. Usually only one or two boxes and priced quite a bit higher than what I usually get, but I grabbed a box this past weekend.

I actually cooked up a packaged, pre-marinated, bacon wrapped pork tenderloin for last evening's dinner. I set up the kettle for two zones, and seared the tenderloin (with bacon still on it) over direct heat for a couple of minutes all the way around to firm up the bacon. Then I moved it over...

Yeah, it doesn't make sense, but my 10 year old daughter had been wanting to make sushi for a few days and I thought we'd better do it before the crab went bad. So while her and her mom worked on that, me and my 16 year old daughter worked on the broccoli beef out on the kettle. This work table...

If you are referring to Da Bomb, no, that was not one of the six I bought. Here are the other three. There were five that I wanted to try based on reactions from the guests on the show (those from season 11). The five I got are numbers 1, 2, 4, 5, 6 in the lineup of ten (The Classic...

The UPS guy delivered 6 bottles of hot sauce used in the show (good show; the original YouTube interview version, not the newer game show version). So what's a guy to do? Kettle fry some jumbo wings, AKA drumsticks, for dinner. These were the three bottles I opened and tried out. All three...

I have two different sizes of wok, and a crepe pan (I mostly use it for pancakes) that are carbon steel. I had a little trouble with sticking in the crepe pan when I add fruit to my pancake mix, but with a little care and work have that fixed. I love them. I also have 3 different sizes of...

Welcome, also from Indiana. It took me a while to bite the bullet on a Weber, that being the Q1200. A year and a half later and I have two more, a Smokey Joe and a Master Touch, and have been debating on a WSM for the last couple months. I think you'll enjoy your new grill.

Welcome from east central Indiana. Been interesting weather lately for trying to cook outside around here.

If I'm going to be honest, I bought the Chuck Roast to make faux burnt ends, but had to listen to the requests. So this was a bit of a compromise. I took it to 160 on the kettle at 240 degree average. Then wrapped it in foil and put it in the oven at 225 until everyone was hungry. I didn't...

My wife had been asking me to make some pot roast, but the weather was nice and I wanted to cook outside, so I made her a roast, just without the crock pot. Got the Master Touch ready while the coals were getting going in the Smokey Joe. A generous coating of coarse salt, pepper, and garlic...

I haven't done a chicken this way, but the last several times I've done turkey, I've used the dutch oven at high temps. Turns our great.

We Didn't Play Test This, Munchkin, Exploding Kittens, Machi Koro, Zombie Dice. We really enjoyed Escape Room in a Box: The Werewolf Experiment, but it's a one time game, no replay with it.
