BITD, the company Dad worked for used to do all sorts of pie fillings that seem to have been discontinued. Raisin and mincemeat, I can sort of understand, though I love both (especially mincemeat), but I was surprised they no longer make pumpkin pie filling. It was basically pumpkin, cooked and pre-spiced. Just add eggs and milk. But I don't see it on their website.

I love sharp objects as well, not a knife maker.

This Spring and Summer here in the inner Bay Area has been uncommonly cool and windy. The heat wave that we were supposed to get at least some of this weekend kinda fizzled, and most evenings have been much too cool and windy to even think about dining outside. But I find I don't mind that so much, because the more days of cool and windy we have, the less it dries out the fuel.

Trick is pour boiling water into FP to pre-heat it immediately before use. That is part of the preferred technique. It will be plenty hot IMO.

I have a couple and am always looking at more, though I don't have a "need" for one. Primary knife is a 240 Yoshikane SKD gyuto and I also have a 180 Mazaki W2 petty that sees a lot of use. The maker that I've been looking at lately is Takada no Hamono, maybe another gyuto or maybe a nakiri.

Sample of some of my kitchen knives & few Takeda folders.

Because it's dumb.
That's more up rjones28's alley. And he might be able to smuggle it across the border.

I had to quit caffeine for a month once due to doctor's orders. It was a little rough, headaches, irritability. Not such a huge problem.
Cigarettes, another story. That stuff messes with your brain, makes you not think right. I swear I considered driving into a concrete abutment on the freeway, it was that crazy. I tried the patch, no good. I switched to chewing tobacco and back to cigars and snuff and chew and eventually got away from it. Nicotine is pure evil, the hardest thing I've had to quit.

The toughest to quit is nicotine, at least for me. I have an addictive personality, or so they tell me. Total alcoholic, black out every night, etc. Quitting alcohol was tough, I was very irritable and the craving was strong, but I was very sick from it including bleeding internally. I felt it was quit or die, not to mention the intense pain in my stomach. I think the worst part was thinking I could never have a drink again.

Do you know the apple ratio used in the sauce? Or was that secret information?

Not a clue. I do know they use a mix of apples, and probably prefer the ones that last well in cold storage, because they make applesauce from fresh apples all year round, not just when the apples are ripe. By contrast, for other fillings like cherry they'd also use frozen fruit outside the 3-week window when they're ripe.

Oof. No Strava because it didn't happen.
Virgin Galactic acknowledges Branson's pre-launch bike ride never happened
LOL

Representatives of Trek were not immediately available to comment on the matter.

It said the plant deliberately used different types of apples because they have different characteristics (taste, texture, etc.)
