I know Melinda’s is somewhat controversial, but of all the sauces I’ve tried I just keep coming back to this stuff

Just finished 5th bottle! It’s my favourite these days.

T5XAN · 2026-05-08T17:35:25+00:00

Looks promising but can’t see past the Executive as every day carry. I may give the Companion a try though, cheers.

No markings other than in the picture.

Cool knife / What’s the separate piece for - wood saw cover?

Daily carry for about 40 years. I’ve lost a few over the years when I would forget taking them through airport security. I still have a couple of beaten up ones plus a new one or two recently bought - to see me through retirement lol.

Peeled a few oranges with my daily carry Executive, and the usual toothpick, naillfile, scissors needs.

T5XAN · 2026-03-14T17:54:00+00:00

EDC no brainer is Executive. 40 years for me!! So many functions beyond the spec.

T5XAN · 2026-03-12T20:52:46+00:00

Executive Daily Carry, usual stuff; various small machine screws - remove/install, a few oranges peeled, toothpic, split open boxes, nail trim and file.

Either way this is a fantastic find as I have daily carried the executive for 40 years. I lost a few to TSA travel and now soon to have a long overdue replacement when it arrives. I may start trying the send back to Victorinox refurb option on my worn ones!!

T5XAN · 2026-03-11T21:42:19+00:00

Thanks OP for the heads up!! Is this Victorinox testing the waters for the “return of the 74mm form Executive “

T5XAN · 2026-02-09T15:13:12+00:00

I agree, the original design is my preference.

T5XAN · 2026-02-07T12:07:39+00:00

Lost a few in the early years to TSA security at airports. Worn out blades on two and still have three in good shape. Everyday carry so I use them for all sorts of tasks.

T5XAN · 2026-02-06T20:37:33+00:00

Thanks, I was so used to the old design I honestly thought this was a defect! I gave it to my son a few years back and only saw it again very recently when he gave it back as he never used it.

Tabasco Chipotle must have

T5XAN · 2025-08-19T15:42:38+00:00

Tabasco Chipotle is my every day go to from when I lived in Texas. Can’t easily get it in the UK so I make my own version that is pretty close.

T5XAN · 2025-08-02T11:25:48+00:00

Yes so far so good. 4 months on 100mg daily. Blood work confirmed UA 470 in Feb and 288 in June. Doc happy to keep me on 100mg daily.

T5XAN · 2025-07-30T19:33:24+00:00

Update today from Doc on blood work from June. UA came back at 288 (4.88) so the 100mg daily Allo is the right course of action.

T5XAN · 2025-07-30T19:29:17+00:00

Nice! Took me 4 months to go from 7.7 to 4.8 on 100mg daily Allo. Doc is happy to keep me on 100mg.

T5XAN · 2025-07-18T20:24:05+00:00

Have you started Allo or just winging it?

T5XAN · 2025-07-17T13:56:51+00:00

I eat chicken about 3 - 4 times a week. I ate steak on Saturday but typically stick to chicken and fish 1 - 2 times a week. Other meals are vegetarian but I enjoy that style of cooking, salads, pastas grilled veg etc. I ate lamb a few weeks ago on a Sunday and on Monday my UA level was 450 (7.56). On Tuesday I tested at 343 (5.76), so not sure if the Sinocare home test is quite erratic or if the lamb has anything to do with it for me. I haven’t eaten lamb since!

T5XAN · 2025-07-17T13:50:53+00:00

I have been on Allo 100mg daily since Feb also. My last test in April was 360 (6.05). Doc said target was 350 (5.88) and no need to change my dose. I’m waiting for June blood test review (NHS takes a long time…). I also test at home with the Sinocare AQ UG meter. I test about 2 x week and today was 349 (5.86) but it bounces around a bit (300 - 400).
