Really Boring Stuff Only II: Return of the Boredom

[Adam]

Just got my first ever cast iron cookware - a pizza pan (go figure ). That punk is heavy.

Baked some french fries on it, then followed that up with two veggie corndogs. Pretty nice, but like I said...heavy.

I'm feeling better now.

Contemplating buying a second snowblower. Is it crazy to have 2 snowblowers? I do live in Canada after all.

Whereabouts do you live and who is going to operate the second one?

We've had one significant snowfall so far and that was all gone within 3-4 days. Other than that, we've had the scattered flurry. It's been a very mild fall. I'm pretty sure we will have a green Christmas.

We have the most topsy turvy weather you can imagine. It was -9°C this morning when I got up. But, it'll be up to +9°C by tonight.

We bought a pizza stone recently and it makes a very nice crust.

We also have 6" and 9" cast iron frying pans, which I prefer over stainless steel. We do have a 12" SS pan too - only because a cast iron pan of that size would be just too heavy. I find that I need less oil in a cast iron pan to keep food from sticking.

St. Catherine IIRC, close to Niagra.

How's that for Stalker Recall?

Southwestern Ontario. In early Dec last year we had over 3 feet of snow in 3 days. Today it's going to be +10˚C here.

I'm just getting lazy and don't want to pull out the big snowblower for a bit of snow, but we have a very wide and long driveway which makes shoveling a PITA even when there is only a bit of snow. Thinking of getting a little electric Toro one for light snowfall to save my back.

close but no cigar. You fail as a stalker

Or did he just succeed brilliantly? Throw out something random, then once you correct him, he populates his little stalker spreadsheet.

Speaking of which, I need to update mine now...

Agreed! I've used one for over ten years. I actually bought this cast iron pan to see if it would make a good replacement. I took the stone out of the oven and put it into a cabinet last night for the first time since buying it over a decade ago. We'll have to see if it stays in there, though. I don't bake nearly as much pizza now that I've given up dairy, although I might bake a cheeseless pizza on the new pan today.

Wow, this thread got some late night action. I left the forum last night shortly after the initial post, I come back this morning, and there's 66 replies. Impressive. And it's a "real" thread.

Man, if you want me to come for a visit, you're gonna have to reform your dietary restrictions. Come on, admit it - you really do...

Man, that's like poetry.

Hickory Dickory dock,
The mouse ran up the clock,
The clock struck one
The mouse ran down,
Hickory Dickory dock.

I hate poetry!

You sure about that?

Agreed. I saw that earlier this month (or whenever it came out). Pretty exciting.

Sounds dirty. Just sayin'.

K-cups with less plastic. An obvious idea once you see it, but freaking brilliant.

I do wonder how much packaging goes into keeping the coffee fresh, though...

 

[Adam]

I'm weak - it should be here Friday. I hesitated about 30 minutes too long, or else I could have had it Thursday.

Through some miracle of holiday-time distribution, it's going to be here today!

Hee, hee. I can't wait to slice that first apple. And likely my hand...

 

[Adam]

I'm feeling better now.

Awesome, dude. Glad to see it.

How are you feeling now, though, after staying up all night talking about Klipsch?

 

[GO-NAD!]

You sure about that?

Nice frame-up.

Once dairy starts giving you the runs you'll change your tune.

On a cold dreary morning.

The milkman's throne I sat.
Enjoying cheese, cream, and screams.
All through the night.
But in the fade I felt a slight.
On a cold dreary morning.
