Re: Vacation home knife set

Costco has a sale right now on Skandia™ Constract 10-piece Knife Block Set for the low, low price of $48.99 through April 28th, if you are a member. I realize this isn't at CKTG, but what a deal! They are carbon steel knives, no idea on what steel or HRC. Includes: 8" Chef Knife 8" Bread K...

Wise words from Mr. Bites. Maybe knives from Goodwill.

Re: Grill suggestions

I see some research coming my way. I haven’t had time to do much as of yet, But I don’t think my wife wants to deal with charcoal for the days where she wants to grill and I’m at work. One of my thoughts has been if weber or Traeger would even be worth it considering cheaper options are like $300 s...

Re: Favorite Kitchen Item?

What scales are people using here? Mine (Taylor I think) don't seem to want to accurately weigh the small additions, like 10 grams of salt, yeast, whatever. So annoying. I'd buy a new one, but the ones people have recommended to me are discontinued. Sigh. Woo is me. Do I want some cheese to go with ...

Re: Konosuke Updates

I don't remember which knife it was, but Mr. Mark had announced that under 10 were coming in (maybe 4 or 5) and someone called and asked if they could buy one at triple Mr. Mark retail price. Mr. Mark and Miss Sue said no. You take your chances like everyone else ordering through the website.

Happy taco Tuesday everyone! P.S. How does Ronnie make his pictures so big? I just use the attachment feature but then you have to click on them to make them bigger. I believe he posts them to a website he owns, then links in the picture using the img button. But I have been wrong many times before...

Re: Baking Much?

Easter bread last night. Technically "Paska" but its more like japanese milk bread. This is a enriched bread with 3 eggs, half a stick of butter and some sugar. The enriching part gives it a long shelf life (but it usually goes fast). Next time I'll form the loaf like Ronnie did in his mi...
