    A Michelin Starred Restaurant

    Something weird happened with the alignment of the planets or something. My bride has wanted to go to a Michelin starred restaurant ever since binge watching a show on Netflix(?) during the covid lockdown, about the stories of Michelin chefs. It turned out that we had planned an out of town trip...

    Pan Searing Fish

    Pan searing tends to bring out the best of thick fillets, and to be truthful, I've never received any formal instruction when it comes to this method. I attribute any success I've had to simply using a lot of butter and not overcooking. If you do a lot of pan searing fish, how exactly, do you...

    Any Alpine Skiers?

    It's a great year for snow! Who else here skis? What and where are your favorite ski areas? Small, but classic. Once long ago it was considered to host a Winter Olympics but a little town in New York called Lake Placid beat us out. It's where I learned how to ski. I was fortunate to be hired...

    70th Anniversary of Roman Holiday

    We saw it at a theater last night. Delightful! Apparently Paramount threw a fit because it was filmed in Rome against the studio's wishes so it was filmed in B&W instead of color. It's a good thing Rome looks great in B&W!

    Ohio Blue Tips

    I bought a box of Ohio Blue Tip wooden matches today. According to the box, they are made in Chile. I'm feeling kind of stupid now.

    Memorable Work Benches

    Maybe you built it. Maybe you inherited it. Maybe it came with your garage, basement or barn. Maybe it's at your business. Some work benches are purpose built (welding table, wood working bench, etc...) while other's serve a variety of needs. What is important that everything is at it should be...

    Cast Iron

    I love cooking on cast iron. Sadly my all mom's cast iron went missing when we moved in 1960, but I've slowly accumulated my own--- A Wagner flat skillet I purchased new a long time ago A 10" Lodge Dutch Oven with legs A 12" Lodge Dutch Oven with legs A 5 Qt Lodge Dutch Oven A Lodge 8"...

    Autumn Grilling

    Last week I grilled prawns Two days ago it was chicken kebabs. Tonight it's tri-tip. I think boneless short ribs, butterflied leg of lamb and maybe hot links offer potential for next week. What are you grilling on these amazing autumn evenings?

    Wusthof

    Rarely we need to add a new kitchen knife. We determined that another paring knife (we currently are down to just one) is a necessary addition to the armory. When it comes to shopping, I'm not really a brand fanboy but I've come to appreciate Wusthof, not the high priced ones but the low end...

    Pony Pipe Clamp Love

    My daughter asked me to build her a table for her new apartment so we picked out some lumber and I resurrected my old woodworking tools and gave it a shot. In the process, I needed some clamps so I turned to my long unused, dusty rusty Pony Pipe clamps and rediscovered what a brilliantly...

    Orientals Anyone?

    I really miss FMOTT and 2045, and while I've found Squadron Leader is my heir apparent I'm curious about other blends with Oriental leanings. 965 I recollect had a sweet Oriental nuance, but that was back in the Dunhill days. I haven't tried it since Peterson picked up the ball and ran with...

    Downsizing My Skewers

    I have a collection of twenty shish kebab skewers, maybe 28" long for feeding large family gatherings. Since we're empty nesters now (I really hate that term) I've been using bamboo skewers, but those leave a lot to be desired. Meat and vegetables will freewheel on round skewers so one side...

    Emergency!

    Not the TV show featuring Julie London as the nurse at Ramparts Hospital. Emergency groceries. During the drought, the State of California recommended keeping four days of emergency drinking water per family member. I did that. My daughter who likes to bake introduced me to the notion of always...

    Backyard Projects

    My side yard is a mess. There is a 16' Grumman aluminum canoe resting on two I-beam saw horses I built from 2x4s and 20d nails straddling a Model T rear axle with a support propping up the backyard fence thrown in for good measure, all overgrown with weeds (fire hazard!) I've already cleared...
