Good morning!!!!

jbrumberg · Jan 19, 2018

I was brought up in a family of good cooks and during my "Animal House" years I lived with a couple of chefs. I learned from all my teachers. I enjoy cooking. A lot of the foods that I cook are cooked outside in the Big Green Egg. Over the years I have branched out in the regional types and kinds and styles of food cooking. I cook a decent product, but the plate presentation usually sucks. My tastebuds and stomach do not mind. :wink:

OK, I think the terminology you are looking for is a "system malfunction" - According to the article under the Facebook pic it said it was being used at the time of the fire to make FF. Since there is an electrical burner element at the top of the machine we could speculate an unspecified electrical short or overheating. Careful examination of the burner and wires to see if there was any arching might reveal the exact cause of the fire. If it has a thermostat it could have malfunctioned or been defective causing the element to overheat and ignite the plastic outer cover. But I still would like to rule out that back left burner by checking the location of the notch on the metal rod on the burned stove control knobs. Also kind of leaning to the overheating because a breaker should have tripped if there was a short, got to check the breaker box also.

They may have poured gasoline on it and lit for all I know, but my terminology fit just fine, if what you were doing was normal and it caught fire anyway, that痴 about as spontaneous as it gets.

Good morning all. Could not sleep so I finely just got up and started catching up on Good morning. I must be reading slower, it takes longer than it used to. 32 now, supposed to go down to 16 and then up to 49. Don't think we will make 16 tonight.

Randy, You are stringing this tractor buying thing out a long time. Just go ahead and buy it! Hope it works out well for you.

Have a good day. Ed

Not me Ed.

I haven't had really good bbq since I left Seminole, Tx., I have had some that was decent, some eatable, and some I'd just as soon not think about.

66°F and 1.24 inches rain, still raining.

Leave tonight to start our too long trip to the Mainland. Next Good Morning report will be from Va. hope it’s warm.

Be safe
Have a great day.

The closest decent barbecue joint to me in in New Lebanon, NY. An old lady ran the operation for years. The new owners are from MA.

I/We've only eaten our way down the east CONUS coast and sampled the regional foods and the barbecue along the way (and back). There are differences in style and tastes. We like spicy/hot foods, but not those "sweet" rubs and sauces and the "Southern Style" iced tea- sweet enough for a hummingbird.

You are all making me hungry...time for lunch.
Jay, levitate those ribs down here please. I like them a little crispier.

26F and sunny @ 11:45. High today supposed to hit 35F. Let the melting begin ...

Finally gave up on trying to locate the two other hinge halves after a couple of hours. They're probably here ... somewhere ...

The upside was that I spent some of that time straightening up and organizing the stuff on the storage shelves in the basement utility room.

I broke down and headed over to Home Depot to pick up some replacement hinges.

Unfortunately, I forgot my new wallet and apparently The Depot does not accept Apple Pay ... so I had to head back home, grab the wallet, and then drive back. It's only about 6 miles so not too bad.

Before I got there though, The Woman called and reminded me that the knob/handle/lockset on the front door needed replaced. Can usually get it to latch, problem is not turning/releasing to open the door ... so that will be on the menu once it warms up a little. Also grabbed a couple more 100w equiv. LED bulbs and some blue painters tape while I was there.

Today will get that door hung, maybe throw up a little mud and hopefully start sanding lumber.
