    Experimenting on foods.

    It's known that "Chinese Food" in The USA, is nothing like what Chinese people eat in China. We just make it up as we go along. Sometimes it's not bad. It's all an experiment. This is my Chinese food experiment with a rib roast. I debone the roast, then tie it back together. Instead of a...

    Show us your SHOES !!!

    They are selling direct to consumer. Not distributed to any retail outlets. So you can't go to a store to try them on, or handle them in person. Their marketing schematic is to use online influencers.

    Jim Green Boots

    It is confirmed. It's not a real moccasin. It's a moc-toe construction. A true moccasin is 1 solid piece of leather, wrapping up over the foot. Jim Green stitches several pieces of leather together, then wraps the toe up, and has a big hole in the middle. In all fairness, Red Wing &...

    Show us your SHOES !!!

    Allen Edmonds Park City. Factory seconds. Not the best shoes. But good. Supposedly weatherproof. Although I haven't tested that by wearing it in the rain. Soft leather lining. Good wedge sole. Decent for walking around in The City. A grocery getter.

    Experimenting on foods.

    Chinese food is an experiment. Just about any vegetable can be stir fried, and I call it Chinese food. Chinese food of the day is eggplant & peppers, and meatloaf. A foot long meatloaf.

    Experimenting on foods.

    Roast pork. Potato. Noodles. It was what I had. The experiment was putting it all together. Sometimes you eat hash browns for dinner.

    Red Wing Recommendations

    Most people are satisfied with Red Wing shoes. They can do quite a bit. But the soles are not for hiking.

    Red Wing Recommendations

    I don't think that the soles are for hiking. The mini lug soles would not get enough traction for off-road use. It's more of a "city boot". It is a good boot. A cobbler will be able to install a full lug sole for hiking. Buying a $350 boot, then spending another $150 to install a full lug...

    Jim Green Boots

    I could be mistaken. In my mind, a "true moccasin" was a piece of leather under the foot, that wrapped up over the foot, which is then sewn to the rest of the shoe. In my mind, it's actually a solid, single piece of leather. It looks like Jim Green is doing something similar, but...

    Whites perry sizing vs Thorogood

    Shoe sizing is never standard. Different shoes fit different. Very difficult to buy what you can't try on. Sure, maybe you can get away with it most of the time. But there will be some circumstances where you just regret buying, and then having to pay to ship it back.

    The 80s, myth and reality?

    There were changes. Policy changed. Living standards changed. According to my Dad, the inflation in the mid to late 70's was a head Turner for a lot of people. A lot of households went from single income to dual income+. A lot more women had to go to work instead of staying at home. Most...

    Jim Green Boots

    Pretty accurate assessment. Jim Green is sold from $200 - $300. On sale between $100 - $200. And that's about where it stands in comparison to boots from $300 - $600. Maybe not "the best" boot that you can buy. But good for the money that you spend. For $100 - $200, Jim Green is just as...

    Jim Green Boots

    Here's a look at Jim Green African Ranger which is supposed to be a 2E width, next to a Thorogood 2E. Both are marked as size 10. The Thorogood 10 2E is longer and narrower than the Jim Green 10. Something to consider when ordering online and you're not sure of sizing. People often say that...

    The 80s, myth and reality?

    The 80's was a time of little animals on your shirt to represent status.
