    Mars is inhabited.

    eanassir, How many times do you have to be told? There is no liquid water on the surface of Mars. We know what the atmospheric pressure on Mars is, and we also know what the temperature is, and we can duplicate those conditions here on Earth. Liquid water simply cannot exist at the...

    The second coming of the Food Messiah

    This may be just a partial list: A further look at the label reveals a long list of ingredients. Some are as simple as dehydrated garlic, while others are a tad less appealing: monosodium glutamate, disodium inosinate, and “artificial flavors.” The All Natural version, however, has a shorter...

    Have you used induction cooker?

    I don't think we will be getting into induction any time soon. Hell, we haven't even seen the inevitable news stories telling us how bad these induction cookers are for our health. We just bought a new range and last year we bought a set Lagostina, stainless steel pots and pans. One way or...

    Have you used induction cooker?

    My wife just told me we spent $1700.00 on our range plus tax but you are right. This new system might be the best thing since sliced bread but it is still very expensive. When it comes right down to it, I wanted a gas range along the lines of the Jenn-air range but that didn't fit in our...

    Where in hell were you people and your induction cookers when, just a short time ago I was having an internal struggle on these boards about new appliances, finally spending close to fifteen hundred dollars on a Smooth top, self-cleaning, convection, stainless steel stove that has top elements...

    Leftover Recipes

    A good steak dinner, nice atmosphere........ The Keg on Robson Street in Nanaimo They kind of specialize in steaks and they have a fairly good wine list. We go to the Keg fairly often and I trust them.

    Name your favourite restaurant

    One thing about the Keg is that you know what you're going to get. There is a certain minimum standard that the Keg doesn't go below. I would go to any Keg and expect reasonable quality and service and know I wouldn't be disappointed.

    The old plumber's nightmare, the Sten gun

    The Sten Gun The British Army entered the Second World War without an adequate submachine gun of its own. During the battles on the Continent in 1940, the need for one was made apparent. At the time, only US Thompsons were available. A British copy of the German MP 28...

    Leftover Recipes

    Don't believe anyone about the "gamey taste". Lamb tastes like lamb and that's what I like. Most of the lamb I buy is from New Zealand. I buy either based on whether it looks good and the price. I know a farmer who saves me a whole lamb in the Spring. I get it cut and wrapped for the...

    Leftover Recipes

    My butcher sells lamb stew by the 100 grams......I think it works out to around four dollars a pound........So it still isn't cheap. I usually use about two pounds of lamb stew meat for a stew or for shepherd's pie. Occasionally we buy a decent sized leg of lamb and leftovers from that would...

    Leftover Recipes

    Leftovers are easier today than they were twenty five years ago. For one thing, you can buy beef broth, chicken broth, so gravy isn't hard to come by. Left over roast beef and gravy and a few frozen veggies can be smartened up with a few Yorkshire Puddings that you can make from a mix. It's...
