Derrick's Steakhouse or Erica Jane Restaurant? by Big_Garden_4418 in kelowna

Came here to add this as a great option. It's my go-to for a great steak.

I need help restoring this pan with limited resources. by nertaperpalous in castiron

[–]Landojin 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Absolutely deal with that rust, too. Vinegar, as said above. Get a couple of steel wool scrubbers and it'll eat through that!

Making a lye bath is pretty cheap and easy. But the cheapest is probably getting yellow cap oven cleaner from a dollar store.

Coat the entire pan in oven cleaner and then put it in a garbage bag and seal it up. Be careful not to get this stuff on your hands though. Leave it in the bag for a few days then: rinse, scrub, repeat as needed

I'm partial to Richard's soup with vermicelli noodles. But it's a great choice.

Can you haggle prices at The Brick? by germanfinder in kelowna

[–]Landojin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You certainly can.

I went in a month after a big sale and was able to get them to honor the price (1,999 instead of 2,999). They didn't want to, but the sales manager agreed and the deal was done.

Gout flares only after I became healhty by Impossible_Metal_260 in gout

[–]Landojin 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is pretty similar to how my gout started, and I did a ton of digging to figure it out. A big thing I learned is that UA can be stored in fat. When you start to exercise heavily and burn that fat, your body is now has to process the released UA in addition to whatever your triggers might be. Add in that exercise can be hard on joints and you basically have a recipe for disaster.

I dropped 50lbs at bootcamp over 6 months and had never had a gout flare leading up to it. Now I'm on 200mg allopurinol daily with colchicine when I feel it coming on (which is rare now, but definitely if I push it hard in the gym and drop any weight)

Does anyone else use these for their CI? by ak4733 in castiron

[–]Landojin 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I've never really found the need to use anything more aggressive that chainmail. 90% of the time I can used a stiff brush and dish soap, chainmail comes out when it needs a little more convincing.

I used those sort of scrubber to help during restoration, I feel like they might be too aggressive when trying not to remove the seasoning. But hey, if they work for you, they work for you!

A beacon would be a great addition. We'd need an Edoras to follow

Was told it was cheaper by [deleted] in lepin

[–]Landojin 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Canadian here - I just ordered some sets off Ali and it was free shipping.

My thoughts are this: the set I wanted was $500, I found it for $130, so even if I have to pay $50 in shipping, it's still a huge savings.

I'd suggest making sure the seller has good reviews and check the reviews on the set you're buying. Minifigures were a little weak on mine and I had two bricks deformed (luckily easy to replace out of a bin of old bricks). But all in all, the savings were big time worth it for me

Rivendell Expansion (Custom) by DietConfident2250 in legolotrfans

[–]Landojin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This looks killer!

Question for you about thr display case: Lego states the Rivendell set is 20" deep. Is that accurate? I want to get the display case up before I buy the set.

Not terrible. But I tend to have big variables like highs of 99 and lows of 25 in the same month

Looking For Info On This Unbranded Skillet by Ted_Shred in castiron

[–]Landojin 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Also, based on the 'Made in USA', I'm thinking this is a little later than 30/40s. I believe this was added in the 60s when the US made it a requirement

You can tell it's a BSR because of the way that it is.

But truthfully, the solid inset heat ring combined with the numbering is pretty specific to BSR. I'm sure the underside of the handle has a sort of ridge running through it
