  1. I haven’t noticed any taste difference in normal recipes since switching. If it’s a heavy garlic recipe, I still go fresh. If it’s a clove or two, bottled,
  2. Remove Spice World minced garlic jar from fridge, stick spoon in to get minced garlic out, dump in pan, rinse spoon, replace bottle in fridge.
  3. If I can get my teenagers to fit in the box, will they also accept them?
  4. If I’m in a cove with low traffic and no waves, I go shorter than normal. 15 is probably cutting it too close with a 10 foot depth, but 20/25 would work fine. I don’t want a lot of extra rope in situations like that.
  5. Watched it, it wasn’t the greatest movie ever but it was nice to get something different. Well worth watching and a bonus to support something other than Marvel. Key definitely likes to use a curse word or two. Also, he must have been looking at the Hope Solo pictures that are out there while he was working on his renderings.
  6. You can also add a minimal life insurance policy with some and the home/auto discount more than covers the cost.
  7. I run all Penn spinning setups currently, have 6 of them. I backfill the spool with mono, then top it off with braid and then use a mono leader. My kids fish them also and we rarely have had any issues with the braid on them. Occasionally you’ll get a knot as the first layer of braid starts to wear so I just cut it back and keep going until the braid layer gets shorter than I want it to be.
  8. Checked ours, it doubled. Escalade, F250, and golf cart (all 3 pretty well brand new) run $800 every 6 months. The 16 year old and her Escape runs $897.
  9. Just prepare for them to go no lube on you. It’s the parents right of passage. Ours doubled when we added our oldest daughter.
  10. Everything I read when researching said gas was superior for baking because of the moisture level in a gas oven. It all depends on what you’re cooking I’m sure but temp control on the higher end units is supposedly better than electric. I don’t like the taste on my gas grill, so I went electric even though I’m sure the oven burns cleaner. We went with a 48 inch range. I would also look at a stand alone cooktop and dual wall ovens if you’re getting down in the smaller range sizes. I prefer that setup which we currently have, but it wasn’t worth the discussion once it was agreed we could go to a 48 inch setup. On the griddle, I wanted the indoor one for pancakes, eggs, other simple things. Plus, I didn’t want the grill insert or the extra burners above 5-6, so griddle it was. Extra burners would be more important if space was an issue.
  11. We have a gas cooktop with a down draft and then electric wall ovens. We are going to a single unit Wolf gas cooktop with a griddle and electric ovens with an overhead vent also. I don’t like the downdraft for the reasons mentioned above plus it is loud compared to overhead. We looked at the gas and electric oven options and decided to go electric for what we use. Prepare to spend a small fortune. Our appliances in our remodel are more than I ever expected to pay.
  12. Kick it’s ass. One of my partners son went through treatments for leukemia. It was a long road but he’s doing extremely well now.
  13. Ballast, they are working on dialing in their wake surfing wake.
  14. Hasn’t rained but 1-2 times since the end of May here, now we need 3 days with no rain to seal everything according to the tile guy this morning. Next 10 days, rain projected 5 out of 10 of those days. Doubt it rains a drop.
  15. What are the odds, lose 3 of 4 closers (2.5 really since Philly was a timeshare) on trade deadline day. That really fucked my limited chances on making some progress.
  16. Just for the record both of those options suck.
  17. If my tile gets sealed this week as planned, furniture can go in and we’re done. TV, hotspot, and mantle all should go in this week also.
  18. Either/or questions apparently can’t be taught to my wife. Even after 20+ years of me trying, she still can’t grasp the concept. Do you want me to put this in the kitchen or living room? Answer:Yes. Do you want pizza or something from home for supper? Answer: No. Am I picking the kids up or are you? Answer: Yes. I’ve had to retrain my brain to remember that she is answering the “or” part with no regard for the first choice. She apparently only processes the last thing heard which doesn’t surprise me. It annoys me to the point of trying not to even ask the question that way, but one still slips out occasionally.
  19. We don’t do a lot of BBQ because we don’t eat much red meat or pork. I use my BGE for whole chicken, Turkey breasts, the occasional pork chop cooked over low heat, chicken wings, etc. They all come out better than the oven. The grill gets used now for just seafood and vegetables (zucchini, squash, cauliflower, corn, etc). I cook more then than inside and rarely do anything that is traditional BBQ. Going to give pizza a shot next and see how that goes.
  20. I’ve never peeled garbanzo beans for hummus, add enough oil to get it smooth. I can’t say anyone has ever noticed or at least no one has said anything.
  21. To be fair those stats are skewed a lot by Hader getting rocked in back to back games 2 weeks ago. His ERA was in the mid 1’s up until he ga e up something like 8 runs in .1 innings.
  22. When I bought mine, it was take it or leave it. They didn’t care either way. It had also been on the lot for a little while and they still didn’t come off $1.
  23. Thanks for the post. We’re staying at the Lotte. Pizza and going to Little Italy are all I’ve heard from my two at this point. They aren’t high end restaurant teenagers so we’ll probably mix in a decent steakhouse, sandwich place, and shoot for smaller, local places after that. We ate at La Grande Boucherie when we were there in May and will probably end up back there I’m sure. Oldest is way over planning so we’re working with her on that. I would imagine we’ll hit the big things (museums, World Trade Center, Statue of Liberty, Central Park) and then go from there. She also has a college tour or two lined up so that will limit her sight seeing as well.
  24. Think you meant @HenryJames ,imo.
  25. Post up where you end up, we're going for 5 nights the first of October. My oldest is planning out her itinerary of all the things she wants to go see/do, so we have to fill in the food choices. We'll hit up pizza once/twice and then go from there.
