Our whole family has worked on this recipe for some time. There are many peanut sauce recipes online, we tried quite a few, but did not like them. This one finally tastes as good as what we get in our favorite Thai restaurant. Ingredients for Sauce: 1/2 cup peanut butter, we use crunchy 2...

Yes we make it too. A daughter brought us fresh beans from Madagascar.

I agree with that. The Home Depot app is also great. Going back to what the thread is about - probably the stores would like more customers to use the app.

I always look up the items online and note the price and location before going to the store. Saves a lot of wasted time looking in aisles more or less at random. HD is very good about the items being where the website says. Lowes not so good. In recent months I haven't had any problems...

With restaurants largely shut we have learned to make some of our favorite meals at home. Mostly Mexican, Thai, and Japanese. This is an easy recipe that always turns out great. Ingredients: 1.5 lb chicken breasts 1 poblano chile 1 jalapeno chile 8 tomatillos 5 garlic cloves 1/2 sweet onion 1...

Used to get about 4 minutes of obstruction in 12 hours. Now down to 4 seconds. The trees did not move. So I assume the dish is now being handed off from one satellite to another to keep the signal.

I got tired of 5 gal cans so got this 100 gal transfer tank and put it on a pallet. The pallet is reinforced with plywood for stiffness. The tank is mounted on rubber bumpers that allow the pallet to flex without stressing the tank. To avoid cracks. I put it in back of the truck to take to...

This is a bit off topic. There were a few times when I wanted to save a piece of trim with an out-dated profile. The alternative might be to spend a few hundred dollars at a local mill for them to grind a matching set of knives and make some new material. But mostly it does not make sense to...

I spent some years as a carpenter and contractor. Never owned or used the dedicated nail puller. For that matter never seen anyone use it. My uncle had one in the bottom of a tool box, but I never saw him use it either. I am sure it works fine. For most situations I use the two tools below...

Slow progress on the satellite cable trench. The utllities located the incoming electric and landline feeds, but thats not the end of the story. In that area there are 3 electric lines, 2 water lines, 2 phone lines, and one propane line. Digging by hand through compacted rock and our hard...

Got a starlink user survey today. Apart from predictable questions about performance and satisfaction, there are useful questions about the phone app, obstruction issues, and installation details.

I've got the Makita 36v chainsaw and 36v leaf blower. They are perfect for my uses. I would definitely get a 36v trimmer, except I bought a Husqvarna 4 stroke trimmer just before I figured out the 36v tools would do the job. It is quiet and easy to start and will outlast me.

From what I can tell on craigslist, the rate for a herd of goats is about $50 per week per acre. Might be worth a try.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_California_urban_areas The city council responds to noise from constituents. Generally. I guess there is not much of a constituency for 2 stroke engines. Other than the mow and blow lawn companies.

Oakland/SF is listed as the 2nd most urban place in the state of CA.
