    What's for Dinner?

    I have a Blackstone table top propane griddle that does a great job on burgers, veggies, eggs, bacon, hot dogs, and similar items. I like it. But it does not replace a grill. After having it a couple of years, I think I'd rather opt for a griddle that you can simply place on a grill, rather...

    What's in your glass tonight?

    The only time my tastebuds react like that is when I'm eating fruit cocktail. 🤣 I never have tasted any fruit flavors, flint, grass, tobacco or any similar sensation when drinking wine unless it's a heavily flavored wine cooler type drink like WE Island Mist.

    Aluminum foil replaced tin foil after WWII. It's still referred to by many as tin foil.

    Wine was clear then added finings..

    SG (Solomon Grundy) is a British company and their kits are "style" kits. i.e ".Chardonnay Style" that sell for under $25 US for a 30 bottle kit and average 10.5% ABV. They market them as ready to drink in 7 days! ;) They all include a flavor packet.

    Keith Richards and Willie Nelson were probably around then. But they haven't been fossilized yet. 🤣

    I have a three ring notebook and record EVERY step I take when making a kit in addition to recording observations as to SG, temp, activity, color, clarity, etc.

    What's for Dinner?

    Yes, I did add information. My original comment was about the Big Mac Meal in Connecticut which is ridiculously expensive at that rest area. Your response dealt with the price of a Big Mac Sandwich alone which cannot be compared to the cost of the meal. So I pointed out the cost of a Big Mac...

    What's for Dinner?

    $4.47 is one of the lowest costs in the country for a Big Mac. There's a site that shows the average price of a Big Mac in every state. https://www.zippia.com/advice/how-much-big-mac-costs-states/ The $18 price in Connecticut is for the meal which includes fries and a drink. The meal in...

    What's for Dinner?

    We only go out for Italian food if it's a group function of some sort that we've been invited to. It's basically cheap pasta with a few add ons that you can make at home for a couple of dollars. Toss ni a grossly overpriced salad, a glass of wine and a tip and you're up over $50 per person.

    Any savings you realize would depend upon how far you have to drive and what you get for mileage. In my case, if I have to drive 40 miles each way , that's a round trip of 80 miles at 22 mpg, gas at $3.55, my cost for fuel alone is over $12.00. Not worth my time, effort and expense unless I'm...

    What's for Dinner?

    There's just my wife and I at hoe now and I do all the grocery shopping. If I get out of the grocery store for $100 - $120 a week, I consider myself lucky! Inflation is one thing. But when some prices increase 40 or 50 percent or more and the quantity shrinks, it's price gouging, not...
