    I love the Fed IV!!

    Emphasis added - that's basically it. Though these days people are more likely to equate it with Indiana Jones, unless another "fedora" move has come in recently. I always tell people I'm channeling my inner George Raft. I've got a brand new charcole gray Fed IV still in the box under the...

    So trivial, yet it really ticks you off.

    It's true, that happens! We had one come up to our third floor attic apartment. Nastiest thing I ever saw! I trapped it under a garbage can and slid some vinyl floor tiles under it, carried it out of the house and threw it over the fence in the back yard (Shhh, don't tell the neighbors to the...

    Sorry, but I'll take Dean Martin over you and Mr. LaMotta (whoever he is) all day and every day when it comes to pizza pie.

    Never had wedge cut until I moved to the mid west. Always tavern cut (they call it something different here but I can't remember, square cut maybe).

    That's interesting. As a kid in the 70s "no anchovies" was the knee jerk reaction to the topic of ordering a pizza. I actually had a pizza with anchovies once and though I didn't find it overly objectionable I was at a loss to understand the appeal. Might as well have put tuna fish on it, it...

    Hear, Hear! While I agree on all points, I must admit that any more I prefer my burgers cooked medium. It's purely a texture thing. A rare center, to me, has no flavor and just comes across as slimy. Now steaks on the other hand... When I'm cutting up larger pieces of meat to use in stews...

    It seems that burgers these days took their cue from pizzas (or is it the other way around) - the things come on burgers. Now really, can you really taste all those things? And do they all really go together for a good end result? They usually just make for a mess in my opinion. Actually, one of...

    Typically if I want pizza, I want pizza! Which means the usual traditional construction (regional variants are good too) and toppings. (Don't skimp on the sauce. Put the toppings ALL the way out to the edge, and COOK the damn thing, don't just melt the cheese!) That certainly is not to say I...

    I didn't know it was a Canadian invention. Huh, go figure. Somehow I actually don't mind a Hawaiian pizza. I won't go out of my way to order one for myself but I'll have a piece and enjoy it if offered. It seems that my pizza objection of late is bacon. (Imagine that!) It just seems "too...

    Some things are best ignored. But Dunkin Donuts does deliver. It's on doordash. While undoubtedly thought cleverly obfuscated, I wonder if it will be addressed.

    That looks really good! Much better than mine, which tends to be dryer. In recent years we have taken to adding salsa and corn.

    Isn't that like putting cookies between slices of toast?

    Euell Gibbons would be glad to hear it. Another Pine tree saved!

    Of all things! (I actually quite like Grape Nuts.) Perhaps I'm incorrectly reading between the lines here, but are you really blaming 2020 on, ... uh... er... a lack of, ... well, ... ... "regularity"? 2020 certainly wasn't a great year on so many fronts, so why not that too?

    Nah, much as I love it chili gives me heartburn. We've got a beef stew doing it's thing in the crock pot and I'm going to try my hand German potato dumplings to go with it. Oh, and a nice dry red wine to fill in the cracks and a berry trifle to end it all.

    This may be an odd thing to complain about, as it is probably the definition of trivial, but why can you not buy small chicken breasts? When I last bought them (boneless-skinless) the smallest package I could buy came in at more than 4 pounds for 3 half breasts. That makes them just shy of a...

    An update: The package has arrived, 40 days after it was sent priority mail which, as stated on the PO generated label, guaranteed 2 day delivery. You should have seen the two loaves of homemade bread that were inside. Still waiting for a package sent from CT on Dec.1 (tracking indicates it...

    I took my '90 Civic to over 300k. What finally got it in the end was a nagging electrical issue. My wife cried when it was towed away.

    Fair enough, and thank you for the imagery, maybe I'll borrow it sometime. Right now my happy place (sadly not one based on actual experience) is more tropical and involves a hammock and a beverage served in a cocoanut (no umbrella).

    I would submit that by just making this post and describing that it has been on your mind more than just in passing, you have spent more than $13 in effort over them. Go ahead and order them. You'll be glad you did. Besides, there are plenty of us here more than willing for you to be the Guinea...
