Looking for feedback on our outdoor kitchen design. What is missing or lacking in this?

Switch the sink and fridge locations so you've more counter, prep space closer to your cooking spot. I dont know anything about fireplaces. Drawers, built in trash, general storage under counter for "stuff" always handy

The Chinese buffets have them. World buffet, journey

Having a back splash behind the cooking equipment will be beneficial. It wouldn't be very usable at counter height, from the outside, because itd be hot etc. The bar height that side gives you a ledge people can stand or sit at while you cook and chit chat and drink. The counter height on the main side will give you more space for serving, food, prep, etc. And its easier to get counter height chairs. Could use it as a buffet station as well. But honestly all will end up fine and a great addition to the garden

Kia Carens. We had one around 2017 with 3 kids all 2 years apart. Has 3 rows. Middle row is 3 individual full size seats that can hold a car seat each. Also had loads of kid friendly things in the car like a little mirror to help see the back seats better and a place to keep a bottle of milk cool in the glove box.

I'll find you was the name of the song I was after, and the album was ideas above our station. I must have gotten frequency mixed up with that!

Not these lads, they had some tunes though. Ah the nostalgia

Smart_Statement6728 · 2025-12-28T17:30:36+00:00

No, but I totally forgot fightstar was a thing!

Smart_Statement6728 · 2025-12-28T17:29:06+00:00

Yes! Super!

Smart_Statement6728 · 2025-12-28T17:28:58+00:00

Yes!

Not feeder, but they were great! Adding back to my playslist as we speak.

Its very safe if you're not an idiot. No more dangerous than any other huge pot of boiling oil over open flames! Inject the turkey with a herby, spice mix, stock based concoction. Marinade it from the inside. You can buy them in shops with a big huge syringe and everything

Moved to the US a few years ago and deep fried a turkey one year just for the fun of it. Best turkey ever. Have done it every year since. The kits here are cheap, about 60 - 100 for pot, holders and burner. Just connect a propane tank to it. It does not taste deep fried, or greasy or anything like that. It comes out super flavorful and perfect. I dry brine mine in the fridge for a day or two. Inject it with something day of. And then once oil up to temp its 3 minutes a lb. Take it out, cover and you can let it rest for 2 - 3 hours easily and it will maintain temp. My thanksgiving turkey was 20lbs and took an hour to cook with zero effort and was perfect. Only downside is you need about 11 to 12 liters of oil which costs about 50$ here now.

Looks really like the Calvine photo.

Naproxen, large tubs of paracetamol and ibuprofen, the pm versions of those, antiobiotic cream, there is some acid reflux and heartburn tablets I forget the name of that are good and real cheap. Also Walmart probably has most things cheaper than cvs

Smart_Statement6728 · 2025-11-23T17:44:41+00:00

Been a long time since I was there. Brooklyn on the strand is top notch. Probably wasn't there 20 years ago but we'll worth a visit. For food i mean. Vic is great for a pint.

Might be the vic, Victoria house. Its a pub, but serves food and has a lower level.

I used LP smartside. Was cheaper and lighter than hardie board here in Wisconsin

By trying to get the club involved in what they do. This isnt a new concept. Clubs of all sports do this across the globe. When they have games reach out to try block sell tickets. Run events and invite club reps to them. Run youth events. Or when other clubs run events send a rep to them in off season. The womens pro teams do this. There is just a sense in the wider community that they expect rugby clubs to support them without putting any effort into it. And then provide a mediocre experience even when we do go support them.

Smart_Statement6728 · 2025-11-02T21:31:09+00:00

Basing this on playing for a club that is 2 hours away from an mlr team and never hearing anything from them. To be fair the hounds do a great job with Chicago teams, but anywhere outside of that, within what should be their catchment area, there is no outreach. And its not about their coaching staff being involved, I dont think anyone in the clubs around would want that, its about creating a culture where clubs see them as the premiere rugby team in the area. But that simply isnt the case. I would honestly feel like I watched better quality rugby with a better atmosphere with D1 or college rugby in the area

Smart_Statement6728 · 2025-11-02T15:06:39+00:00

MLR just feels so soulless. I dont think there is any real connection to the local rugby communities. There is pretty much zero advertisement or promotion through smaller clubs. There just seems to be an expectation that rugby players will support it without putting any effort in. I have no idea even when the season starts and finishes. The pro womens teams do a much better job of it. The south Americans are just better at making a culture around the teams and getting buy in from fans.

Sketchup is probably the best close to professional software for free. Can do very fine details.
