Been a few weeks since you sent this, but I went propane-only decades ago. No right-or-wrong, just what we are accustomed to..... How do you like the Weber now? My biggest complaint with mine is that is doesn't have infinite controls. I like to be able to feather burners down without a...

Bruschetta grilled chicken over some zoodles. Pasta salad too

We’re about $5.50 in upstate New York. Gasoline is about $4.00.

@Russell King and @Tughill Tom - I got a pair of 3M Worktunes from Amazon yesterday. Worktunes were very much recommended in this thread a few years ago. Good reason, as they seem to be pretty good. Have radio and Bluetooth. I was even smart enough to pair with my cell phone (on the second...

Russell - thanks. I did see references to the 3M Work Tunes in the thread also, and that’s what I was looking at.

This thread is older. I got noise cancelling JBL earbuds and like them for snowblowing in the winter. Also wear them regularly while walking for exercise. Why, I don't know, but have found them lacking for mowing. Have preference for headphones/ear muffs. (Intuition would say it should...

Just did a little spring cleaning on my old Weber Summit propane grill. Really starting to show its age. Never been a fan of it, but it’s had staying power. I’m pretty rough on grills, and this one has seen many battles. At 15 +/- years, longest we’ve had one last. Got 12 or so from a Vermont...

I do that with rice, barley, and now farro. That partially defines the “pilaf” descriptor. Finish in simmering broth, etc. is the other part. I honestly didn’t know that until I was out of the restaurant business when I made pilaf everyday. 😳

Tell you what, farro was excellent. Never had it or even heard of it until recently. Did it pretty simply: toasted with some olive oil, added some onion and garlic. Then added broth (beef) to 2:1 ratio like rice, along with some frozen peas and carrots, black pepper (no salt- lot in the...

Shawarma chicken, farro pilaf and a salad.

Anyone an expert on Farro? Never heard of it until recently. Been looking for alternatives to taters, rice, quinoa, barley, etc. Going to try it simple pilaf-style with some veggies and probably a turmeric-seasoned broth. Pilaf only means you toast the grains in some oil and then simmer...

Not a fan of salmon as I get older, but that looks awesome!

Skeets - ran same pellet stove for about 20 years. Burn about 5 ton per year and it’s our primary heat. Had a wood stove for many years before that. There’s pros and cons. My pellet stove paid for itself each year while I was working. Now retired, I have more time to tend to a wood stove. The...

No dyed fuel at any stations here, only bulk delivery to the many farms, commercial places, etc. Just got road-taxed diesel today for $5.55.

Shrimp Summer Roll in a bowl.
