  • Campbell's doesn't tend to muck around much with success. They've bought and sold a number of other food processing companies over the years and honestly, you'd probably never know if you hadn't seen the list. The only times I've seen things change is if a base ingredient or material wasn't available at a certain factory…

  • Haven't tried it, they've only started showing up in stores here in February. Target has carried them for a while but we don't really shop at Target anymore. It's been a hostile environment lately and the experience is less than desirable anymore. Anyway, Carbone is in small supply with only 2 or 3 versions of the sauce in…

  • BJ's Wholesale Club is carrying 2 jar packs now too. We honestly didn't have too much of RAO'S around here unless you went to the really fancy supermarkets like Wegman's. Now it's showing up everywhere. I haven't tried any of the other stuff from RAO'S. The meals and stuff are expensive and they've only been showing up in…

  • That must be why they are more prevalent too, bigger distribution channels.

  • Pretty sure that's quite possibly not real wood but particle board or MDF wrapped in a textured vinyl laminate with a picture of wood on it. Staining would only stain the glue at the "mitered" joints and the acetone solvent in most polyurethanes would melt and shrivel the vinyl laminate causing it to delaminate and…
  • As usual, though, it wasn't clear to me that you grasped what I was talking about so I tried a deeper explanation in the hopes that you would comprehend it the second time around. And pot shots from the cheap seats from a guy who clearly didn't read any of it. Otherwise, you would have seen that I was using the Nvidia…
  • It's not the sub-prime loans that are the problem this go around. Real estate is a wealth transfer vehicle. It lets poors borrow money from richs to be able to get a wealth building asset to make them notsopoors. The fact that foreclosures are up means there are poors who will stay poor because they will not be able to…
  • I know a guy who only rents. Well, I know a few people who only rent, only one has a stupid reason. One couple is in their mid-50's. Her mother was living with them and had severe health issues. He lost his job in 2009 and was out of work until the end of 2011. So they had no savings and while they did have a house, it got…
  • It's looking like we're going to find out what happens. Saw a Facebook post this morning from a guy on the local town Facebook page lamenting that he waited too long to sell and now he's afraid that not only will he not be able to sell at a price that will cover his outstanding mortgage but that he won't be able to get a…

  • What do you mean I'm out of money? I still have all these checks left!

  • Around my area it's about $2.75 to $3.05 a gallon for regular. It's actually going up too.

  • Ok, so, did a couple chicken thighs the same way I do wings today. The only difference between thighs and wings is the wings tend to have the skin all around so it doesn't come off in one slab like the thighs do. But, I pull any chicken pieces out when the seasoning gets the appropriate color and the chicken fat is…

  • OK, so, I haven't been there in a real long time but IIRC, it was called something else for a while before it became World Cafe Live. It had something to do with the WXPN radio station that it was a part of back then. I think Comcast manages it now which is why it's got the "Live" moniker. Everything in the city with…
  • I could go on this topic for days. Just in my life alone I've had the following happen in just the last 5 years: - My friend's son who is now working for a NASCAR Cup team on the pit crew, he and his friend had no idea what a carb was or what a distributor was because all the stuff they messed around with was EFI and…
  • Carburetors and distributors
  • I really hate IFLS anymore but this came across my feed this morning and I thought y'all might find it interesting.…
  • I had a friend whose mother had one and she made all kinds of stuff in it. Her regular cooking was turrible but that thing made her cooking actually enjoyable.

  • Was it Ron Popeil's Showtime Rotisserie?

  • I will say, though, that while I've seen and had the sorry excuses for fried foods that come out of the small, cheap air fryers like Tom was talking about, this Sur La Table deal is light years beyond that. French fries are a good example 'cause they came out of that basket crispy on the outside and almost creamy in the…

  • That Breville Tom posted is nice but expensive and can be hard to find. It will replace a toaster oven and it has a ton of fancy features. If it's anything like my Breville toaster oven, it's a friggin' tank and should last a good long time. This Sur La Table one we got is 13 quarts so about twice the size of the Breville…

  • We just got a deal on an air fryer from Sur La Table ($130 for last year's model of a $400 appliance) to replace the Breville toaster oven I got new in 2011. The toaster oven started acting weird. It still works but it would shut off halfway through a cook time. Works fine for anything under 15 minutes but get past 15…

  • You know all these air fryers everyone is on about? All they are is tiny convection ovens.

  • Gotta define "bullying" first, there, broseph. Getting your feelings hurt by the truth or reality isn't bullying. It's just reality and/or tough love. If this hurts you, wear a helmet 'cause life is hard, ain't it? Getting your feelings hurt by someone who perpetually follows every post you make and turns it into a…
  • That sounds like a stupid easy and kick **** Teriyaki glaze

  • I do wings in the oven. I get whole wings, not the buffalo style drums and flats, whole wings, uncut and skin on. Make sure they are fully thawed! I cover them heavy in salt, black pepper, garlic powder and paprika. Add cayenne if you want them more fiery. I would not use a sauce, sauces will just scorch and taste…

  • I can't post the lyrics from Gary Lee's "Rodeo Song" 'cause the net nanny here will be masking out every other word.
