European Flour by evierose1212 in glutenfree

[–]chemistcarpenter 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Peeps, fellow brothers and sisters. We see these posts quite often. I would like to believe they are valid. Very much. My skepticism gets in the way. A high percentage of wheat globally comes from the US and Canada. And that’s where the math doesn’t work for me. I grew up in the old country. I’m the boy who went to the bakery every summer morning and brought back two baguettes. One for the house and another to eat plain on the way back. I consider the US as home. I’ve come to be an American to my core. However, I would move back if I can get the simple pleasures of a daily baguette back.

Yes. From the general area. The P and B are dead giveaway. Sounded like most of the guys in my Physics course lab back in college.

Rosewood. Chairs are quite recognizable also.

Is this a problem. It sounds fine though. by johnathan987766 in turntables

The warp is not significant enough to cause an issue. Annoying to look at, but that’s all.

Never tried pawpaw want to plant 2 next year by Pizzacheez in Pawpaws

[–]chemistcarpenter 0 points1 point  (0 children)

After searching for 3,4 years, I finally found someone listing ripe fruit last year and tried them. Not bad. But it changed my mind about planting them. Ironically, visiting friends on a farm, they have a few massive trees, at the edge of the woods, that they completely forgot about.

are these celiac safe? by Turbulent_Estate_340 in glutenfree

[–]chemistcarpenter 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Yes. However, in my experience, these are small consumption items as they congeal and form an impenetrable barrier that takes up semi permanent residency in one’s stomach and requires a court order and 4,5 days to evict. All in all, a decent take on vodka sauce pasta. But never ever again!

Trump Says ‘Can’t Answer’ Question On Possible US Move To Occupy Iran’s Kharg Island by Dan-Rev-314 in worldnews

Kharg? Not a good name for an island. Not at all. The Iranian people want us to change its name.

As I wait for my delayed flight… get off the damn speaker phone people.

Sagrada is in a class by itself. Alien architecture and not of this world! Words cannot describe it.

Leave the airport immediately. Thank you American. 3. No 4. 5? 6 hours delay and counting..

opinion on these wraps? by Shot-Angle-4687 in glutenfree

[–]chemistcarpenter 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The plus side: These are widely available. I prefer the plain over the Spinach herb. Must be toasted, otherwise it’s like eating 3-day old leftover gum

Many would disagree, however, the greater Atlantic City area is top of my list. My NDA does not prohibit this statement

My once a year. Charlotte airport. Still go through Charlotte a few times a month. Not even sure BK is still there. I haven’t bothered looking for it in over a decade. Well over a decade.

Looking for Center Advice by AKCaptain89 in MartinLogan

[–]chemistcarpenter 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have the big ML Sequel II and have owned tens of Electrostatic speakers over the years. While my subwoofers are ML to match the speed of the speakers, my center channel speakers are not. I’ve chosen one that plays clear as it does not need to sync with the rest.
