I have never had a FB account, never will.

Same with me!

Welcome! Congrats on your KK. Speaking as the owner of a cobalt blue tile KK, I think you made the right choice.

Oil/butter on the skin or forgo?

Baking Powder on the skin with herbs?

I'd put the butter and seasonings under the skin and baking powder on the skin a few hours before cooking.

You're not kidding, Paul! My KK will be on the water tomorrow (Tuesday October 12) so I'm pumped.  And here's the color...

I have a 16" TT in cobalt blue...tiles! 

I remember reading on this forum a long time ago that all KKs were tiles. Between shipping damage, accidental drops and such the corners were knocked off or rounded over. Dennis, being ever-so thrifty thought "I bet I can glue all these damaged tiles on and some folks will think they're something special!" And now you know the history behind the damaged tile UMM...pebble KKs.

It looks like that double bottom pan may end up on the crate after all. You guys are great!

Careful...They know how to pry open your wallet!

Washed it down with some Pliny

The bar within walking distance from my house stocks Pliny. Good stuff! Always takes a little longer walking home!!

Happy birthday to you both.

Congrats! What color, tile or pebble, etc.

It was hilarious being introduced to friends as "someone I met on the internet" and we laughed a lot when the RDs told us that the oldest RokDokette was horrified that they were entertaining us.  She thought we would be scammers, looking to empty her parents' house out.  Tee hee.  If you get the chance to visit a KKer you think you might like, my advice is: don't hesitate, do it!

My daughter had the same reaction when she found out I was meeting @tony b in Santa Rosa. She asked if I ever watch TV?! People wind up missing all the time after a face to face with someone they met on the internet she told me. 

Very nice!!

Exxon Valdez incident

Way off topic here but, reminded me of an old joke.

What did the captain of the Exxon Valdez say to his first mate? Damn it! I said a rum and coke on the rocks! NOT run the boat on the rocks!!

Mac I bet the planned stay was 2 nights, then they lingered, for a week

That's why I make sure the guest room has a crappy mattress!

Can you fit lunch into your schedule? Or eat at one and get something to go (takeout) from the other for the ride/flight home.

Putting higher education to practical use! 

Higher education?! well it is 4/20!!

Needed lunch meat for work so pork loin it is. Nothing fancy...just S&P, garlic and thyme. 

On a side note...I had the pleasure of meeting Tony B. the other day. We had a couple beers together at Russian River Brewing in Santa Rosa CA. I can tell you Tony is as nice in person as on the forum. Good conversation along with good beer. 

Hopefully they'll wrap up an emu next!

I'm currently planning a road trip in 3 weeks, driving to CA (San Jose & Napa),

Hey @tony b let me know when you're in Napa and I'll try to make it down there. 

Are you going to the French Laundry? 

A little late here. I never take pics and post so I know it didn't happen, but I just did a prime rib the other night. I like to reverse sear them. 200° to 250° to an IT of 120° to 125°, remove from KK, tent/rest. Crank KK up to 400° to 450° and put the roast beck on to sear and crisp the outside. Pink from edge to edge every time.

Here in Nor Cal public schools are opening Monday, March 1st.

I applaud @tekobo for her tenacity in staying up that late to watch the game!

Agreed!

What's the first cook going to be?

you could poke your head around the counter and glimpse the carcasses as he went in and out of the cold room.

There's a place in the Napa Valley where I buy meat every now and then. They roll out the whole carcass on an overhead rail and ask you, "What cut ya looking for?" Great place and great product. You are spot on with the provenance!
