Although, technically, Bimmette could be the sole person in the ultra-rare thread mashup called "Ask Me, an Asian Canadian Girl, Anything"! Oh, I'd have a question or two.

Oh god, no new thread. Just ask me here!

Will this have a negative consequence regarding accomplishing all of the STUFF we need to get done?

It was probably all those Lemonadearita things I slammed before that hindered the balance. 10/10, would do again.


No. Stuff is important, and if we don't get the stuff done, nobody will. I told you from day one, we are partners and I will always give stuff 150%.

In all seriousness, what is a Kamado grill?

Was fun, would do again. Hopefully this coming weekend if mobility kicks back in.

How'd your weekend go?

Haha sounds like a good time. At least it was at the end of the day . A few beers and you'll be ready to do it all over again next weekend.

It went pretty well. Got my taxes done at the 11th hour because I procrastinate everything. Went mini offroading in the Jeep because driving it turns me into a redneck, and still haven't washed the bimmer. That's on today's agenda.

Shit I'd be ready to go back out today. Only thing that sucks is because I don't have a roof rack, it has to stay at his house for now.


You just now did your taxes lol..., geez. Where you go offroading at, somewhere local?

Big Green Egg style of grill/oven/smoker.

[UncleWede]

So, do I NEED the green egg, or do the others work just as well? I've been afeared, since they won't display a retail price on the website, that I can't afford (the grief from wife for buying it)

[Aatish]

Lol, my dad just sent me these photos. Tesla ships their cars with the spoilers deployed. Pretty cool

Is it better than a traditional kettle-style smoker?

I've no smoker, just a Weber gas grill and a Weber charcoal grill.

[UncleWede]

Except that there WAS one on the bottom rack but too much down-force and it's on the road somewhere back 3 miles. . .

Probably. Wether it's publicized is the real question.

Since 1961, the Government of Ecuador and the Government of the United States, through the U. S. Agency for International Development (USAID), have worked in partnership on countless innovative and sustainable programs to advance Ecuador’s development objectives.

USAID invested more than $800 million throughout 53 years of partnership to help improve the lives of millions of Ecuadorians through economic opportunities, biodiversity conservation, infrastructure, civic participation, health services, education, housing, and disaster prevention and mitigation.

I've no smoker, just a Weber gas grill and a Weber charcoal grill.

I also have a webber traditional kettle style charcoal grill too and i very much like the kamado style better.

It uses less charcoal, can more easily and accurately control the temperature, it gets much hotter than a kettle style and is far more versatile. It also seems to be ready to cook about 5 min quicker than kettle style.

You can sear at steakhouse temps, bbq roast or smoke. You can cook pizzas in it as well. Has several rack attachments that allow for heat deflectors, pizza stone, vertical rib holders, etc...

You can put a regular amount of charcoal in it, adjust the temperature to 250 degrees and it'll stay there, without adding charcoal for 6-8 hours. I've only had it for 6 months or so, but i like it a lot. Haven't used the webber since. Going to list it on CL soon.

That thing would be almost as long as the 1 series. That would be a sight.

There was some new construction that was all tracked out from being muddy last week, but was dry now. So I made a quick pass through it bouncing around.

Don't know if I currently have the time to go with that, too many projects on the go.

I have time but it would be lame:
-why do you say "aboot"?
-what is Canadian bacon?
-what are ketchup chips?
-why do you say eh?
-do you live in an igloo?

Haha... love this. But you didn't answer any of them. Don't forget, how come Canada used to have good hockey teams but doesn't anymore?

But wait... I have a SERIOUS Canadian question. You said to ask here. I was in a business meeting with a very senior executive at a Canadian company (well, a Canadian OpCo of a US company, but... w/e). Anyway, I imagine you are familiar with the expression, "the elephant in the room". Well, she said she wanted to get the moose out on the table. I chortled inside, as is my wont, but no one blinked. Is that a thing in Canada, or was this just a peculiarity of her personal speech?
