  1. It doesn't look like rust in real life, just a discoloration. I steam clean with this rack in place.
  2. The rack the pan would sit on, as opposed to the rack that goes inside the pan. I can take a pic later although I am not a good photographer and just use my phone.
  3. Is anyone else noticing discoloration of the rack that stays in the oven? Mine is sort of a copper color in some areas and feels a little rough where it is discolored. A vigorous scrub will smooth it out but not change the color.
  4. Sauteed in olive oil with garlic, finished with a orange juice, orange zest, capers, and raisins that have been plumped in boiling water.
  5. If you will come I will buy anything you like for the bar (although I would have to make a trip to Dallas to find the much of it!). You, however, will have to be the bartender. I would be incompetent. I never lived in a home with a bomb shelter but remember the bomb shelter signs posted about in the neighborhood. My storm shelter also functions as a safe-deposit box. No chance of fire destruction and locked unless a storm is approaching.
  6. Good thing you don't live in Oklahoma. Almost all rain comes in a storm. Almost all homes have a storm shelter. Prior to phone "apps" almost everyone had a weather radio. If you would like to visit come in the late fall which lasts well into December. Winters are not bad although we do get an occasional ice storm.
  7. My reservoir was nearly empty so I unscrewed the knob out of curiosity. The water that drained out contained lots of mineral particulates. I continued to let it drain until it seemed clear. Think I'll try to remember to do this periodically. Additionally, when I had a leakage problem before it was due to the drainage tray not being properly seated in its grooves.
  8. I'm going again this year! I think KayB is going to meet me there on Sunday. Again, I am trying to decide between the whole weekend and just Sunday. Anyone else thinking of going?
  9. 2 ears of corn, in husks, bake-steam 400F for 30 min. Very good.
  10. Time to call maintenance!
  11. What brand did you choose and how do you like it? My hood is ineffectual and I should replace it.
  12. My guess - a contraption for unsealing and removing the lid on large (5 gallon in the US) buckets
  13. I just use an inexpensive serrated steak knife. No need to buy something new (not that I'm opposed to buying new things for kitchen use!).
  14. I think a flat shelf is pretty important. I bought this AV utility cart. The power strip is a very nice feature.
  15. "I don't need a recipe."
  16. I have made that cake several times and have made the following changes to the recipe: I use 4 cups of apples cut into 3/4 -inch chunks bake for 60-75 minutes

    Potato Salad

    I'm about to try this:Austrian-style potato salad Only I'm using new red potatoes because that's what I have.
  18. Sorry I'll be too early. Maybe I'll hit you up for some restaurant recommendations.
  19. @gfron1 I didn't see St. Louis dates on your webpage. I will be there for a veterinary conference (at Purina) Oct 7-9 and could my visit a couple days on either side.
  20. I'm glad to see you back. I made good use of your thread on your SF visit right after I joined this forum. I visit the area every March and am always looking for recommendations.
  21. I always let at least one plant go to seed. I will have volunteers in the fall and will have kale to eat in the winter and into the next spring.
  22. I don't think so. I have done business with them in the past and get email newsletters. When I ordered this afternoon and took advantage of the promo code I did it as a guest, without logging in or registering an account.
  23. grill grates sale
  24. 15% off with promo code grateful
  25. @kayb I have grill grates and love them. Still would make the rings in the oven but if it works on the grates be sure to let me know - I would love to be wrong. Also, I didn't mention, cut 3/4 of an inch slices and leave 2 rings together. Only use the nice big ones.
