I plan on attending, assuming I can shake the cold I have been fighting for the past month. Very much looking forward to it. -Doug

It has been a while since I updated this. The two olive wood handled knives above found a home in Wales with my wife's cousin. Gifts for hosting the family the summer before last. I have since added a few more. The three below are Christmas presents. The steak knife / parer is a gift to my...

I have been cooking pork butts and briskets on my Kamado for many years and regularly cook for a range of events. I always do a full load, which is 5x pork butts at 9-10lb each and 3x briskets at around 13-17lbs each. This quantity of meat can present some cooling and storage challenges. Pork...

Starter Bourbons: Buffalo Trace, Eagle Rare, Lexington, and Four Roses are a great place to start. I also really like Angel's Envy. Try them if you get the chance: Pappy Van Winkle(15 year is the best), George T. Stagg Rye: Bulleit is a good place to start. I also like High West's Double...

I plan to attend and will be bringing two Linzertortes. Thanks for hosting the event again. -Doug

Del, this is amazingly generous of you. Thanks for this. Sorry about the phone pic of the parer. Only half of the second knife is from Del, the other half is from Home Depot. A gyuto or line would be outstanding. -Doug

Welcome to the KKF. Many of us envy your living in the Bier und Wurst capital of the world(my own opinion). I used to live in Karlsruhe and have fond memories visiting Baden-Baden and Berchtesgaden. -Doug

Stefan, You might want to look into TLS. I am not a shill, just a happy successful customer. I lost 39 pounds in 12 weeks this past Spring under the supervision/coaching of a PhD Chemist/Nutritionist and have kept it off since May. My wife lost 35 pounds. It is a low-glycemic plan with...

My wife is traveling to Wales next week and I was hoping to send a knife with her as a gift for our host. Some quick searches indicated that bringing a knife even in checked baggage would not be advised. Looks like shipping is my fallback position. I suspect that someone here has some...

Well, I am finally getting a couple pics of my latest additions (CTS-XHP) from Butch. The olivewood handled items were intercepted on the way to the ECG last month :biggrin:
