I'd love it, but my wife wouldn't consider it. Have you ever sliced a sweet potato? There's a lot of work involved with using a knife to slice three sweet potatos in 1/8" thick slices. I'd probably cut a thumb off. I'll bet Bobby used an electric slicer! Food processor |

Yes, like my wife’s automatic rice steamer. And her bread makers. Kitchen klutter. I have to admit we bought an air fryer, and have actually used it more than once. It's done a good job on everything we've tried so far. Not interested in a (not so) instant pot. We're doing a complete kitchen remodel starting in a couple of weeks. Demo down to sheetrock and subfloors, all new custom cabinets, granite, appliances, new prep sink in island (where one has never existed), new hardwoods, etc. The kitchen will be down for at least 8 weeks. The wife was nervous about about how to survive. We have a heated and cooled utility room with a mud room sink in it downstairs off the garage. Countertop and shelves beside the sink, and refrigerator w/ice maker and deep freeze also in the room. That's food storage and prep, pots/pans and utensil cleanup and storage. Have a gas grill with side burner, pellet grill (smoker/wood fired convection oven), coleman 2 burner LP camp stove, evil Santa gift electric griddle still in the box, air fryer, toaster oven, and microwave. It will be an adventure, but I think we'll make it. :) When we tore up the indoor kitchen we had our oven on a furniture dolly out in the screen cage for about a month running on an extension cord, until I got the country kitchen done outside. The oven has not been inside since then. I lived on the gas grill and side burner until I got a cook top installed inside. I was using a temporary plywood counter until the metal fabricator got done with that stainless counter top where the sink and cook top sit. I already had my cabinets on site so most of the kitchen went pretty fast. The plumbing did not change much but there was fairly extensive electrical, getting me plenty of circuits and receptacles serving the counter tops. Our contractor did not start ripping, until the cabinets were in the garage, and the appliances were at the stores warehouse. We have a really nice wet bar in a family room, so we had a sinks, and an electric skillet on the bar top. Plus a bbq and side burner. We were only down about 3 weeks, a few days of that was waiting for the city inspectors, Yeah, I'm questioning the time frame a bit, but we have a few more moving parts. The cabinets are being built before the demo starts and the appliances are already ordered, but we also have the flooring guys that have to do demo on the tile after the cabinet/general guys do their demo thing, then the cabinet guys have to have everything roughed in for the granite guy to take his measurements, then the cabinet/granite/tile/electrical/plumbing guys have to have all their stuff completely done for the floor guys to even start to lay hardwood (finished in place to match the rest of the hardwood), then the appliance guys to install while the stair guy installs new wrought iron balusters. Plus cleanup and inspections. Three weeks ain't gonna cut it. :) The demolition was about 1/2 day. That included removing a soffit ceiling. The flooring was sheet vinyl at the time. I forget what we went with, but since have hickory flooring. The 3 weeks included replacing two 8’ sliding doors. Our contractor was very organized. Reminds me of the contractor that has done highway jobs for CalTrans. A truck burned and destroyed the integrity of part of the overpass in what is call3d the Cypress Maze. Is the multi tier overpass on the Oakland side of the Bay Bridge. Estimates were 3 months to repair. He did it in a couple weeks. All the subcontractors were lined up,and they were building new on one end while demoing on the other end. Same guy did the overpasses in Los Angeles after their quake. Gets a bonus for everyday under the contract time. |

I like the taste of a sweet potato the way it comes from nature, baked, with a tiny pat of butter and a little salt. You guys do the same thing with beouf...I don't eat that much of it, but when I do, it is because, for example, I like the taste of a steak. Crikey...why bother with the main ingredient...just sit down with a spoon and an assortment of spices. And speaking of which...when you add a lot of "heat"(fiery spices) to meat, just what are you tasting? Certainly not the meat. :) Do yours come from nature with butter and salt thereon? Wow. You're the man, Krause. Did you get up on the derogatory side of bed this morning? Lets see... should I take my culinary cues from a top chef like Bobby Flay, or from fat harreee? Decisions, decisions... I do not know. Looking a Harry’s picture, he did not always eat healthy. |
