I filled two 60 cu.yd. skips with stuff I couldn't take, but we still have more stuff than we can fit in the house. My shaving brushes are somewhere up in the loft and I haven't seen all my shaving soaps for four years.


That’s what turns me off when I think of downsizing. We moved into our ...

Made from scratch, with milk, cream, eggs, sugar and vanilla.

I’ d visit Tatamagouche just for a mouthful of that. My favourite sweet.


You'd go hungry! I moved from Tatamagouche a little over four years ago, and now live on the outskirts of a place still named (for how ...

Those do look good!

In these parts those would be recognized as flan, which the Mexicans probably got from the French, anyway. (One would hope Mexico got something of lasting value from the one-time French takeover of the country.)

They got the French didn’t they? That was more than ...

Me too

I can’t tolerate many Scotch whiskies, even though I am Scottish, but rye whiskey is just fine. My favourite rye is Canadian Club 100% Rye, which the LCBO carries. I don’t know if it’s available in Nova Scotia. As concerns Crown Royal, I thought they are only moving one of their Ontario bottling ...

I follow the Moss routine.

I’m going to make your Chili Mac, but 2 questions:

* Do you use lean or extra lean mince?
* What is the stock cube? Not on ingredients list.

I don't know if the gentleman concerned was the same John who was Long Gone From Bowling Green, but I rather hope so. Maybe he made it to N.O. and started a restaurant that sold beans and rice. This dish is easy and delicious, with a more-ish mild cajun aftertaste that gets you going back to the ...

I went through a phase where I kept picking up different pieces, and before I knew it, I had way more watches than I could ever wear.


Watches can be another bottomless rabbit hole along with shaving brushes, razors, fountain pens, etc. I currently own a dozen watches: four are high-end, Patek ...

Have used our Big Green Egg for 40 years. It was one of the originals, and I bought it from my father-in-law for $25. It's all I ever use outside. I've got a couple of accessories primarily rib racks and a smoke tray in which I occasionally use the pellets instead of the logs.


I still can’t get ...

I like El Alamein’s dressing with the garlic; however, I like to amp up the garlic with more than one clove depending on the size, of course.

I’ve tried about a dozen synthetics across the price spectrum. The only one I find satisfying is the AP Shave Co SynBad. I lather exclusively on my face using circular and paint brush strokes both of which the SynBad does well. What I really like about the SynBad is that it does not have the springy ...

Your argument seems to oversimplify the issue of legalizing prostitution by presenting a false choice between full legalization and the current problems associated with illegal activities. There are potential alternatives worth considering. Additionally, while you highlight the potential benefits ...

I wouldn’t be without my Moss Scuttle any time of year. Unfortunately it’s too heavy and bulky to take along when I travel overseas. My son gave me my first Moss Scuttle for my 65th birthday, eleven years ago; unfortunately, I dropped it just before Covid, but replaced it right away.

I’ll continue to digress if I may. The TOBS Jermyn Street for Sensitive Skin shaving cream I have lists stearic acid second after aqua, as does The Body Shop Maca Root & Aloe shaving cream, but they perform quite differently. The TOBS is very disappointing in that it is neither slick nor cushioning ...

It happened in 2021, when the German factory that made soap for Maurer & Wirtz went out of business.

Mantic posted a comparison of the two on his site: https://sharpologist.com/tabac-shave-soap-old-vs-new-formula/
and we discussed it here: https://forum.shavemyface.com/viewtopic.php?t=58001

I've liked Tabac since my teens, and I hope it sticks around. I know the soap is now tallow-free, but I've got lots in my stash!

Chris


I didn’t know Tabac had reformulated to tallow-free. When did this happen? How’s the new stuff? My soap stick performs beautifully, but i’ve had it for several ...
