    Easiest (Best?) Way to Cook Bacon

    Susan makes bacon on a shallow tray using the oven; I was fascinated by how flat the bacon turned out the first time she made it for me. I personally prefer cooking bacon on a 1930s Griswold cast iron pan on a gas stove. Depending on the mood I’m in, I like it crispy, but sometimes enjoy...

    What Cigar Are You Smoking? 2025

    Having a Plasencia Reserva Original Robusto, 4.72" x 52 on the porch. It’s 66⁰ F outside, breezy, a bit overcast, with brief appearances by the sun. I opted for a short smoke because it might start raining at 3:00 pm. Wasabi got all worked up when he figured we were going outside and was double...

    ***What Are You Smoking, May 2025?***

    I was in the mood for something simple. Going for the full Prince Albert experience (sans piercing, though) and going to light up some Prince Albert tobacco in a black, Gutta-percha Figural of King Edward VII of Britain (the Prince Albert depicted on the tobacco tin) with a briar insert, and...

    Peterson Bowl Cracked During Alcohol Cleaning

    Did you scrape out as much of the existing cake (if any) as possible? If not, the fluid may have expanded the cake and cracked the pipe. The alcohol treatment is to remove old flavours and scents, not the cake itself. The wood could have been very dry and the liquid was too a sudden change.

    How Long to Smoke a Bowl?

    Yes, five (or more) hours of constant, gentle smoking, which involves just having a closed mouth and breathing normally to create a bellows effect. The chambers are usually quite deep on the pipes I use for long sessions, which are almost always during my UFC viewing on weekends—with preliminary...

    No, the laserdiscs were not anamorphic—they were CAV, though, not CLV. However, for fans of the films that didn’t appreciate the revisionist history, these sets were (and still are) preferable/desirable. It’s neat that your dad worked with Lucas! Tell us more. Thanks, I’m glad you dig it—I...

    A Few More Posts….

    I haven’t come up with anything suitable for myself at this time that is clever enough to amuse me in the long haul or doesn’t sound self-aggrandizing. @Ahi Ka ’s choice is the funniest to my mind.
