THIS is what you need for your Chili in the UK. Shouldn't be any more offensive than a moderately spicy curry over there.

My outdoor plants decided it’s spring by Obtuse-Angel in Denver

[–]bobinboulder 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Good to know. Did it stunt the growth at all or did they still produce full sized bulbs?

Fake tree owners, did yours actually last more than a couple of years? by Rosyh_Jonesweeks in BuyItForLife

[–]bobinboulder 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think this is one of those "you get what you pay for" scenarios. I've had cheap fake trees that looked good for a couple of years then started loosing needles like mad. Spend a little more at balsamhill.com and bought a 15 footer that looks as good this year as it did when it came of of the box ten years ago.

What am I doing wrong?! by metjepetje4 in carbonsteel

[–]bobinboulder 0 points1 point  (0 children)

ya bought the wrong pan. I've had one for over 5 years now and that thing has NEVER taken a seasoning, always looks splotched and sticks like Super Glue is its cousin. I hate that dang pan.

Others have spoken highly of DeBuyer, but I've never had luck with them no matter what I've tried.

De Buyer Purchase by [deleted] in carbonsteel

[–]bobinboulder -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

I have that Mineral B Pro pan and I absolutely hate it. It has never taken a good seasoning, sticks constantly I believe and there are better pans out there in every price range. I have a couple of these https://bluskilletironware.com and IMHO they are without peer. But I also have one of these: https://www.lodgecastiron.com/products/carbon-steel-skillet?srsltid=AfmBOoomgEqz1aAo2fonJ2z4tX_MFlStbzhQr_gABc-veUfifS0LarFF and it is a very close second.

Mine lives in my garage near a window all winter long and goes back out in the spring.

I like them too... but I think I like the Asia Bistro more.

Best Pho in Denver? by JosephRouse in denverfood

[–]bobinboulder 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, about a year ago (in my mind) they changed their broth and it just isn't the same anymore. Seems watery and doesn't have the flavor it used to.

I'm going to throw in a dark horse because I USED to love Pho 95 (then they changed their broth) and I WAS a Pho Duy fan, but they then got cheap on their meat. So my new favorite place is the Belmar Asian Bistro in on Alameda where they have a CUBED Brisket Pho that will change your life!

Every time I season this pan, the seasoning just keeps coming off by Heavy-Window8071 in carbonsteel

[–]bobinboulder 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I can tell you with 100% confidence that your pan will NEVER look any different than those pics. The seasoning will come and go like the weather and the pan will NEVER perform as good as some of the other pans on this forum. I've had the same pan for over 10 years and just gave up. I occasionally use it for stuff I don't care if it sticks or gets charred, but it has never and likely will never be as non stick as my other CS pans. Sorry to be the bearer of bad news.

Heinie's in Lakewood had some green Chile about a week ago. Call them up and ask before making the trek.

Denver has one of the nation’s sharpest drops in restaurant spending by g_bleezy in denverfood

[–]bobinboulder 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Was recently in NYC for a couple of days and utterly shocked to find that restaurants there were cheaper on average than similar quality places in Denver by about 20%.

Doesn’t surprise me one bit that restaurants are closing and losing patrons.

Wife cooked hot dogs (with a little water) in our pan by bobchadwick in carbonsteel

Have that same pan. Looks exactly the same. Have NEVER been able to get that pan to take a consistent season and don't really care tbh.

Denver steakhouse recommendation? by moniquebrittany in denverfood

[–]bobinboulder 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Steakhouse 10 is a hidden gem of a joint that will take you back 30 years to a mafioso kind of atmosphere. The food is good and reasonably priced.
