    what are you drinking tonight?

    Preparing for a move south and never got around to opening any of these. I'm a tequila or wine guy, Bourbon isn't even my third choice, but feel like maybe I should just crack each and compare a swig of each?

    Zonirushi ricecooker accuracy?

    Cooking 1/2 capacity, rice rinsed, everything is put together and fits fine. Afraid if the clock is off, then maybe the cooking sensors are also off

    Zonirushi ricecooker accuracy?

    thanks! I might take you up on that offer in the near future! If the click was connected to the overall bios, I thought the inaccuracy in time might be an indicator of another internal issue, that maybe the temp sensor was also off, or the timer was off?

    Zonirushi ricecooker accuracy?

    I bought the Zojirushi NP-NVC10 rice cooker last year and have used it only a handful of times (wanted a forget about it solution to making rice on the countertop at a catered event that didnt have adequate stove space). Besides it boiling over/venting steam that left a starchy residue I still...

    Pros/cons of a polished blade?

    Cosmetics aside, what are the pro’s and cons of having a mirror polished blade? Is there an ideal finish for the entire blade surface? Does that change for different uses? I would initially guess a mirror polish would have better food release and be easier to clean. But then, I thought it...

    What are we listening to lately?

    Any thoughts on the new GreenDay release? Not at all what I was expecting. I hear parts of ‘80’s Billy Idol with even more parts of early Beach Boys. Whole album is very pop sounding. Fiance said it sounds like it was a soundtrack to a broadway play, more so than American Idiot. I think it...

    Should i be nervous about my cruise

    I’d be more worried about the ship being turned away from port or a forced quarantine when you’re returning home. Maybe pack some “extended stay” supplies just in case your confined to a cabin for an extra 2 weeks (condiments, dried coffee crystals, hard drive with a ton of movies loaded, extra...

    How to be a good seller on BST

    Has anyone used USPS insurance for a damaged knife claim? You have to check off that box saying “no batteries, explosives, liquids, KNIVES...” . My PM told me as long as it was properly packaged and couldn’t injure someone (he described it as “if I fell onto the box longways, would the knife...
