  4. Thank, ck it was tasty. I am surprised the dough turned out as I really abused it. For starters I didn't do much to develope the gluten, then I went out for 3 hours and forgot to put it in the fridge. Then I had to light the KK and wait for it to heat sink.Just goes to show you, don't sweat the small stuff.

  5. Realized that! I should let the technology take over selecting my photos and posting them. If I could only get it to write my posts and hit the "submit" button I'd be set.

  6. Just discovered a "Memories" feature in the iOS Photos app which makes a video out of selected photos. This is what it produced with minimal interaction on my part. I've been giving my KK a workout.

  7. This is something I noticed years ago and it just rubs me the wrong way. The standard small propane tanks for gas grills etc are 20 lb propane tanks. Back in the day before all the propane exchange places you would take your tank to a fill station. They would put the tank on a scale, zero out the scale then literally fill it with 20 lbs of propane. Fast forward to today's propane exchange prevalent everywhere. Notice on the plastic label it says "Net Weight 15 lbs." What gives that tank is rated for 20 lbs of propane? Curiosity got the better of me and I wanted to figure this out. An empty propane tank weighs approximately 16 lbs. (It's tare weight) Full from the exchange place it weighed 31 lbs. Yup 15 lbs of propane. I then took an empty tank a proper fill station. They no longer use a scale system, now they use a regulated system but that is irrelevant. When I got home and weighed this tank, 36 lbs. Yup a true 20 lbs of propane as I suspected it would. The couple fill stations I can use are the same price as the exchange places. Takes an extra couple of minutes but worth it to get the extra 5 lbs of propane. I'm sure if you called the exchange companies they would site safety concerns but that's hockey puck. The less propane they give you the more frequently you have to do an exchange - CaChing more money in there pockets. I try and use fill stations as much as possible. Well there you have it.

  8. Today I procured my Christmas Protein. It's an 18 lb Publix GreenWise Angus Beef ribeye primal cut. My idea is to leave it in the cryopac until Christmas. At that time I'll cut an end off and cook for Christmas. The remainder I'll put in my dry ageing refrigerator for a spell.

  10. Wow, last time I had one filled was 2 years ago and it cost me $40 - and that wasn't from empty. After that, I never bothered going back. I think it was close to $3/lb The other part is - the only place in town that fills is Tractor Supply. That means you have to go in and stand in line at the register, because that's the only visible employee. Then you tell them you need a tank filled. If you're lucky, they understand what you mean. If not, you have to explain that the do, indeed, fill tanks there. Once they are convinced, then they have to call in the back to find 'Gus' - since he is the only one that is checked out on filling the tanks. Problem is, even the people in the back don't know where Gus went. Maybe he's on break? Oh, he did say something about going to lunch... but it seems like that was a while ago... let me go look.... Eventually, Gus is located, then you have to go meet him by the big tank. He grunts at your tank and suggests you go to Home Depot and exchange it the next time you need a refill. Gus sighs a few times, then decides to go ahead and fill the tank. Now you have to go back inside to pay. And they say, "Oh, didn't Gus show up? Let me go find him..." "No, no, no... Gus filled it, I just need to pay..." "Okay, that'll be $40" ugh The Home Depot used to be easy - it was a self-serve exchange. Took me about 8 minutes round trip. Now you have to go inside to pay for the swap first. It's also a challenge trying to find someone in there that knows the SKU for 'tank swap' so they can ring you up.

  11. It's worse for home brewers. When you take your CO2 tank in to get filled, they don't fill your tank, but give you another one that has already been filled. You own the tank, so sometimes you turn in a new one, but get back an old one. Granted, they are all certified for their pressure rating, but it still sux to give them a nice shiny one and get back a "beater."

  12. Given that ya'll are confirming that there's no cheap shipping option to/from Down under, guess I'll just have to bite the bullet and pay up. Definitely want to try some of these products.

  13. I buy it online. I got a pound bag for $9 but shipping was $11...... We also have a huge Korean supermarket about 1 hour from us which has everything. In the end I ordered online as there was no point driving 2 hours in the car to spend $10....
