Excellent!

too geeky for me!

Snorted a bug or two in your time, ckreef?? Yeah, the whole concept of the neti is kinda weird until you've done it a few times. No big deal now!

Yeah, because Inquiring Minds Like Ours, Would Like to Know!

Yeah, I went through KY again this year on my way back to SC for a wedding. Bought waaaaayyyy too much bourbon, as if there's such a thing! But now, I'm officially "bourbon poor!"

That sauce just sounds crazy! Not like a tzaziki at all.

So says The Pusher Man!

Way to go, PJ! I did similar here. One of our local department stores does an annual sale to benefit charities. You buy a coupon book from you favorite charity for $5, charity keeps all the money, and you get to use all the coupons during the sale. I scored a Ruff Hewn 3 Qt red enamel DO for $32 after the sale price and my coupons! http://www.younkers.com/sc1/brands/ruff-hewn-45479/home/ruff-hewn-3-qt-cast-iron-casserole-pan-536600.html

Oh, Hell, Yeah! How do you keep it all together without crumbling? The texture looked perfect!

What? You're not making the pita? Slipping, MacKenzie!

OK, I'll bite - what's the story behind the name?

Same problem here! We'll just have to help each other out, MacKenzie!

Hi, Larry!! Glad to see you back; been a while, bud! I've also added a couple more to my bar - Michter's US*1 Kentucky Straight Rye. http://www.michters.com/whiskey/us1-straight-rye#whiskey/us1-straight-rye/1 And Willett, which has become one of my favorite distilleries, toured there last summer. http://www.kentuckybourbonwhiskey.com/whiskeys.html

OOOH NOOO!! (Think Mr. Bill) Just what I need - another addiction!

Great tip about the gelatin in the broth!

Yeah, they do get a bit funny after he's had a few adult beverages!

I use my Neti pot after any activity kicking up charcoal dust (opening new bag of charcoal, dumping out the fines in the bottom of the charcoal bin, cleaning out the KK). Works great. I now understand how coal miners end up with Black Lung!

Turns out that the "free shipping" is only in Canada. It's like $13 S&H to the States. With the conversion to USD, it's like $6.25 USD a jar. Tinyfish/Tony is hooking me up with a jar to see how I like it before I commit to a whole case!

Smart money bets that he wets his pants!!!

Wilbur, it's called a FoodSaver!

tinyfish, aka Tony, trip me out to this one, but Amazon only sells it by the case. http://www.amazon.ca/Allessia-Bomba-Antipasto-Spread-314ml/dp/B00W41TVC6 So, is it worth it??

Perfect! Can't wait to see that first all important "virgin cook."

Don't sell yourself short there, Tony! Great cooking is great cooking; it doesn't have to be new!

Yeah!!! In the home stretch now!

Nice job, Poochie!! Serious eats!
