    Movies that really etched themselves into your mind...

    I've always like pirate movies as a kid and westerns, anyway "Master & Commander" always gave me an AMSR, good movie 9/10.

    What are your guilty pleasures... Fess up

    Yeah, I've been a gamer for a while, not as much the last few years though. Cut my teeth on Zelda, Orcina of Time and Golden Eye 007 both on the Nintendo 64 platform. I use X Box now.

    Best brand of bottled orange juice

    It was named because it resembled an old church key basically. The one your referring to is probably like the one dragnlaw is showing and in my part of the woods that's been called a can opener as far back as I can remember. Mind you I think I've ever used it for opening a can a few times in...

    Friday, May 10, 2024 - The Dinner Bell is Ringing!

    Grilled a nice 12oz striploin and the first bunch of asparagus from a local farm with greens again from a local farm with lots of sheep feta, red onion and some brined cherry peppers from Italy. Local stuff is starting to come alive, finally. :)

    What's the affect of flour hydration on overall hydration in pizza dough?

    Your numbers look decent and it's really about preference anyway. Personally I like to use bread flour and I'm talking about using a regular oven, mine goes to 550 and that's what I use with a stone.

    Best brand of bottled orange juice

    What happened to Starbucks???

    Never liked Starbuck's or their stores and prefer the small independent coffee establishments, and their food actually tastes like they made it themselves and not that excuse for food that Starbucks brings in.
