Sam:
Would be interested in your results.

The recipes I've tried have turned out well, and were reasonably simple and fast.

Cheers-
Dave

Matt Damon ... lol ... I joke with my officemate about "Team America."

I have a few straights I'd like to sell, unlikely I'll have the time to really get into them. First one for your consideration is a Gold Dollar for $25. Buyer pays shipping. I don't have an electronic method to accept payment (I could possibly be swayed) ... so a check or MO would be best (for now)....

I've tried several of his soup recipes, as well as the "steamed chocolate cake" and tahini roasted cauliflower.

I've enjoyed them all, as has my wife.

One of these days I'll be trying a meat dish.

I was on a business trip in February, and was up quite early one morning getting ready for the day ... turned on PBS and "Milk Street TV" was on. It was interesting and compelling. I visited the website and downloaded the free PDF with 10-something recipes therein. Of note, the website has many/most...

Sorry for the thread necromancy ... I can't find Williams anymore. I used to be able to buy at Wegmans and CVS. Not anymore.

Nice to see this. I have some tobacco scented stuff I made back in the 2014 timeframe, that was something like 60-40 KOH-NaOH. The scent is quite nice, and the lather is excellent. I only use it infrequently now, I've settled on Bic Sensitives and bar soap (although since this COVID-19 stuff has sta...

Interesting stroll through this thread ... I haven't perused this board in awhile (variety of job changes over the last few years), and I don't recall reading this thread back in the day. My marriage has been a sh*t show from the beginning, mostly a result of my profound immaturity (that I've only r...

Many thanks. I'll keep my eyes peeled ... might be worth a few sheckels to try them out.

Today was my first use of this blade that comes to us as an off-the-shelf local retailer item. In my favorite razor the final product was silky smooth and baby soft. No complaints, it's a keeper for me. Now to determine how long the edge holds up in everyday use. Let me see if I understand this pro...

It's been awhile since I've posted here. Since my 2015 post, I've been daily shaving with a Bic Sensitive. 2 pass seems to be best for me, as a 3 pass irritates my neck. I did screw the pooch a bit with soap ... I stopped using proper soap and a brush, and about 2 weeks ago I nearly lost my mind wit...

3. Settling on a few shaving setups and sticking with them helps your shaves and wallets. This is, of course, not news to anyone here, but something very few of us can actually follow through on. The simplicity of just a few variables can help the quality and consistency of your shaves so much, it’...

Where did Tim announce this news?

I appeared to have missed it...

The pearl sugar wasn't really a big deal ... I ordered some online and it was reasonably inexpensive. Kneading it into the dough was also quite simple. As I mentioned the only problem was that I waited too long after kneading in the pearl sugar ... it mostly dissolved. Other than that, it was rather...

Made some Liege waffles the other day using this recipe. I deviated from the recipe by using some starter instead of commercial yeast. I made a stiff preferment and after it doubled in bulk I scooped out a generous tablespoon full and went forward with the recipe. The bulk fermentation was about 8 h...

CNBC says a lot, much wrong. dorco is right, humans are poor predictors. Do your own homework and check on the success rate of alleged gurus. Those who got ONE right (by luck) will not tell you about the dozens of times they got it wrong. dorco? Is that an insult or a Fruedian slip? :) (actually, i...

Graduate Engineering students know a lot of technical stuff but are befuddled by the simple principle of shoving unburned bits into the coals and adding more wood. Just goes to show you the difference between thinking about it and doing it. Something that seems to be lost on most academics. Ah well...

Beneficial oil ... ?

Don't forget there is no real way to measure the blade quality at the factory before packaging, . . . . Yes there is and yes they do Nic, DE blade manufacturing technology has been around for more than 100 years now and these people are not fools. Perhaps his point is that every attribute of the bl...

normally the standard it very small. on most things the testing rate ends up beinf 1-2%. so basically 10 blades out of 2000 are pulled out for testing. and the funny thing is, they wont be random samples. random samples are almost unheard of. Could you elaborate? Do you think that random sampling i...
