SMF

In Canada (this part, anyway) we refer to the grill as a bbq. I have a Weber BBQ sitting out on my deck. I looked at a Napoleon, very, very nice, but also very very expensive. I have respect for the charcoal heads, but I love the convenience of my natural gas bbq.

I can't stand that Samsung takes so long to update the Android OS, that really bugs me. This is a huge issue with Android. Manufacturers and Carriers all want to put their dirty fingers into Android, software skins, bloatware/crapware, you name it, so updates don't get rolled out at the same time (...

I'm hooked on Carcassone right now. What a beautiful game.

Let's just get one thing clear: The fact a smartphone is a "phone" is somewhere down the list, in fact making calls has become so secondary that cell providers are giving minutes away and charging mostly for data. What it is foremost for me: Mobile internet platform, mobile computing platf...

Congrats Murray, from a fellow SMF old-timer. How things have changed... Back then MWF was 'just discovered' and had to be ordered from Wool retailers in England. There were only a handful of vendors and none of them carried all of the popular shave products we now take for granted. If you were Cana...

I have iPhone 4 which I need to say I was happy till a certain point. The point is as my one is 2y old now (bought it brand new from apple) the battery seems weak. I need to charge every night basically. Furthermore, my wife have same phone and hers is dying after 10-11h... Charging your phone ever...

RIM announced today a launch date of January 30 for the BlackBerry 10. If I weren't so delighted with my iPhone 5, I'd certainly wait for that event and the user reviews that will immediately follow. Sneak peeks and leaked reports are already giving this phone very high marks. Its web browser, for ...

Nice avatar btw.

That's the price including duty and everything.

I'm all ready for winter with snow tires, 4x4, and a new snowblower/tractor. Problem is, we don't have any snow. Yet. As for snow tires and rims, I ordered from tirerack.com in the US. Even with shipping/duty/etc., it STILL works out cheaper than buying up here. I bought myself a set ready-mounted o...

Duck!

Richard...

Kent BK brushes are the only brush I've ever owned that consistently do not shed. I've had 3 BK4s and 1 BK8 and the quality has been great on all of them.

http://www.sanremofoods.com/images/ProductPics/LargerPics/pas207.jpg Just ate these guys for lunch. Nice mild spiciness, packed in olive oil, no hot peppers present. Clean taste, nice firm texture, medium sized fish. Not fishy at all, flavour overall was quite mild. The package I had was product of...

Found these little guys at an Italian grocery store. Haven't tried them yet though.

Like Chris I usually get mine packed in olive oil and the Norwegian packed King Oscar are my brand. Love the little buggers straight from the can or on toast or Ryvita. Regards, Gordon Gordon, I suspected that you may be a Sardine aficionado, as you generally have good taste (except for not agreein...

Here is a link that might be helpful: http://chowhound.chow.com/topics/301739 I also enjoy eating sardines, especially in a good quality olive oil. Very informative thread, thanks. It seems hard, even in a multi-cultural place like Toronto (area) to find good canned sardines. Maybe I'm just looking...

All we're really doing is realigning the edge right? Right???

Do you still have only One Blade?

The nice thing about the Friodurs is I don't have to worry about the ol' rusty blade.
