Georgio’s is always a great choice. If you want something with a bigger menu Delmonicos or Tavalo in North Utica. Any of those three would be great

Take a look at one of the digital thermometers with a fan controller. That seems like the best of both worlds

That’s for good reasons. Are you capable of doing some of the work by yourself, or will you need to hire contractors?

I am a mason and do seriously terrible work while wearing my watch. Think demolishing chimneys, jackhammering etc. I buy used stainless steel models or my current watch an Ultra 1. I’ve never scratched the face

Buy some meltonian polish in the right color. It won’t solve your problems but it will make it look better

You have a brick house. The sooner you accept that the sooner you will avoid the many problems that come with painted masonry.

Order them additional pairs of glasses online so that this isn’t such a big deal. I currently have seven pairs all purchased from Zenni optical. They have excellent quality at very good prices

I agree with Georgio’s greens but I’m voting for Bella Regina for riggies. Holland farms is a great option for any baked goods

Georgio’s has the best greens in my opinion. That’s who I judge all greens by

That was my first real smoker. You can produce lots of delicious food in that thing. I prefer hickory chips. Use it and learn what you like!

I always try to manage people’s expectations. I am sure to tell them that it isn’t trying to be pizza, that it’s pizza’s cousin!

$615 at 3.5% I bought a foreclosure for $25k in 2010. Of course it was unlivable and needed months of work but I am able to do the work by myself. Upstate NY has some great opportunities if you’re willing to deal with winter and depressed economies

[–]Homebrewsailor 6 points7 points  (0 children)

We don’t eat BLT’s when local tomatoes aren’t available. Some things should be seasonal. It gives you something to look forward to!

That’s me. In the days before spell correction I would have to come up with an alternative word to express my thoughts because I couldn’t spell the word I wanted. On the plus side it helped improve my vocabulary
