I have a theory that cast iron skillets have always been made the same. As the pits from bead blasting the sand mold residue off get filled with seasoning they always smooth out. Sand molded cast iron that gets blasted is far different than taking a piece of structural steel and cutting it though. There may be an argument for texture on this non-routed side, particularly for baking applications, as it seems they have done with their gen 1 baking steel.

I wished more people would have used it, but most prefer Tapatalk.

Speaking from my end, the mobile site proved difficult for uploading pics. So Tapatalk won out by default.

I just prefer using my mobile browser over installing another app personally.

I want a pair of shoes that are easy on off as I have to take off my shoes a lot & these kind of do it for me, but I'm weird-ed out as they look a little tooo high for low shoes but not high enough for boots

Interesting, but wildly overpriced. Split suede, elastic, and a vibram wedge sole for $330?

thanks, will scour the internet for images of romeos to see if I like them.  The snake oil dudes took some good damn pictures & the shape just looks a bit "neater"

Mega since it's for Mini I am pm'ing you in 3, 2,

Got the first two estimates back on the baking steel project. The first was just over $900 and the second was considerably more. Still a couple to come in yet.

[mclaincausey]

Got about 4 in flight on my side too, we shall see!

[jdl1279]

I still haven't gotten the one from my friend. So I'm hoping a favor comes through and he can undercut the rest. Gonna call him tonight to see where we are.

I'll make a thread for this, but I have some quotes coming back as well.

Where can I re-watch the video which happened in IHHQ Japan where many bikers came into the store and grabbed a few pair of jeans?

I remembered seeing the video some time back and it's the IH anniversary day sale if I remember correctly.

I'm running a fever, should I have a post dinner gin and tonic later tonight? I really want one..

[mclaincausey]

Have you ever had a hot toddy? So great for when you're sick. I make mine with good oolong tea, orange bitters, a little simple, and a lot of whiskey.

[Peter]

I have not, but it sounds like it would hit the spot! Kinda want one now haha.. Unfortunately I've only got the ingredients for gin and tonic at home. I guess one won't hurt.

[Seul]

If you have a fever, I highly suggest eating tons of strong cheese, and drinking lotsa liquor… You won't get a hangover, but you'll have some crazy ass dreams... Enjoy the ride...

Can't agree with this advice. Alcohol is not good for the immune system. Get some sleep and drink lots of fluids.
