    It is New Year's Eve, a time for reflection. This board has now been running for 10 years. It went online to the world on December 31, 2003. I joined on December 28, 2004, so it is nine years for me. I have have been honoured to be a moderator since 2007. The year now ending has been an eventful one for me--some good, some bad. As 2014 dawns, I wish all...

    This is an old topic. Here is a link the the FAQs on Jack's web site, where it clearly states that the distillation process renders the product gluten-free. Jack's FAQs

    Gee, it is quiet here in Sillyville these days. Today is December 11, which is a most significant date indeed for Canadians. Today is the 82nd anniversary of what is, in my opinion, the most significant event in Canadian political history. It actually took place in the UK, and affected more than just Canada.

    Curlyfries is back! Yay. Good to see you here again, Lisa.

    No pictures this time out. We are not seeing peak colours quite yet. Another expedition to the NW rather than NE may be indicated.

    We went for a fall colour scenic drive today. It was a large counter-clockwise loop through southern and central Ontario, into the Kawartha Lakes, Haliburton Highlands, almost to Algonquin Park, and then back home through the southern part of Muskoka. Six+ hours and over 400 kilometers, most of it with beautiful, vivid views. Traffic coming back south was...

    I'm actually good. Started working again the beginning of July. It is a work from home contract programming position so I still sit and stare at the monitor, only now I am being paid by the hour to do it. A motorized bicycle, you say. Electric? I've heard interesting things about them. I miss all the pholks who used to be here all the time, but now...

    It is a picture of two black cats. There is an inconsistency in the permissions here. This was posted as an attachment, rather than as an image. Only moderators can post attachments, which is fine, but sadly, only moderators can see them. Here is the picture...

    This seems totally beyond possibility, but you made my brain go out of normalcy. WTH? Cats and celiac disease. I probably had celiac disease at a low level for decades before it flared up big time in August of 1995. Diagnosis did not come until July of 2000--five years of celiac hell. On July 1, 1995, our first cat adopted us. A long story, but he...

    Good morning, and welcome to August. Back in the day, Nikki would do a first day of the month post, but she hasn't been here in months. Woke up this morning to find (well, Jacquie found it first) a "present" on the bedroom floor. One of the cats caught and killed a mouse and left us the trophy. Riley had been after something in the kitchen recently, and...

    Tis a bit warm here today. Currently 35C feeling like 45C. For you pholks using the other scale, that's 95F and 113F. The humidity is 49%. Must go out and shop.

    Lisa, do you have a leak in your dinghy?

    Sum ting wong!

    It has gotten very quiet here.

    We're in Malden about 12 miles SW of the Saturday dinner venue.

    Weather report: 10 minutes ago at the airport just west of me: 88F feels like 108F. I'm indoors with the AC on.

    Gas is really different. I lived in a house with a gas stove for about a year, before I met Jacquie. It would be a major project to fit gas into our kitchen, so we are staying with electric heat.

    The package says 5-7 minutes at 375--not enough.

    We baked two personal pizzas on Udi's crusts this evening. I think the old oven was running at less than quite the specified temperature, assuming the new one is accurate. We may need to adjust temperatures or timings on some recipes.

    It is branded Kenmore, but is likely made for them by Whirlpool. We have several Kenmore appliances and Whirlpool made the ones where we know the actual maker. No "convection" as promoted when forced by a fan, but convective heat transfer takes place in every oven on the planet. Convection.

    Well, we had good reports from family members who have them (smooth cook tops) and are happy, so we will see how it goes. We did most of our research in October when we almost lost the old guy. Out with the (g)old... And in with the new... And it was on sale at 20% off! ETA: the close range and short focal length (wide angle) causes distortion...

    Well, it is time for another adventure with the stove. Those of you with long memories may recall service calls in October and November on our ancient stove--specifically the oven. We used it Saturday and it was fine. Yesterday, it incinerated some nacho chips by running the grill element when it was supposed to be baking at 350. We are expecting Tony the...

    We had rain, heavy at times, in the morning. But it stopped just past noon. It was sunny at times. Right now, I am looking out the front window at the setting sun hitting the tops of the trees in the back yard across the road.

    Peekaboo!
