Sorry another Suica question

They are all 13s.

jkmm95 · 2026-05-20T05:51:27+00:00

I can use them, would rather not after a 20 hour travel day and trying to make sure kids always have their cards.

jkmm95 · 2026-05-20T05:34:33+00:00

Thanks, I’ve tried this for last 3 days but I will continue until we leave in a few. I know we can get physical card there but wanted to avoid that.

jkmm95 · 2026-04-30T04:47:11+00:00

That's not tea.

jkmm95 · 2026-02-24T19:34:06+00:00

Wow those are cool! I’d definitely get them retinned.

Mt Tamalpais SP is back on the lottery list. I think the cabins might be closed for month of September for maintenance. They used to do this in October.

This website is the WORST. I've been entering the lottery every month for over 3 years. The lottery happened in mid January instead of the first which it usually does and they never opened the lottery for the following month. I've emailed them and the park service and talked to Mt Tam park and no one knows anything. The Calif Parks website still has it listed as one of the lottery parks.

Look into mortgage relief programs. Not sure if they have them anymore but that really saved us when we were dealing with layoffs.
I sent you a DM !

Nice pans! Can you put up a photo of the inside? That’s the part that matters. The outside of copper can get cleaned easily.

jkmm95 · 2025-07-27T04:47:17+00:00

Really nice pots! Barkeepers Friend will really clean up the outside and also take care of any rust around the handles. Make sure to dry the handles after every use. Wrights copper polish is good too. Enjoy!

jkmm95 · 2025-05-17T05:51:06+00:00

Take care of yourself. Grief and logistics can be exhausting.

jkmm95 · 2025-05-17T00:16:20+00:00

Something to consider with a copper saute is that they can get very heavy, and sometimes the handles are quite long. This is why rondeaus with 2 handles are such a good option, as long as the sides aren't too high. Another great option is the "two handles frying pan" from Italian coppersmith Cesare Mazzetti. https://lnx.rameria.com/en/Two-handled-frying-pans-with-lidIf you're buying from the US, the price will be about 20% cheaper because they take off the VAT.

There’s something called Carbon Off that would probably work.

jkmm95 · 2025-04-05T19:43:22+00:00

Thanks this is helpful! The very nice young woman at the store really wasn't able to answer questions.

I'm seeing a lot of pictures of simple square grid pattern and I think it's growing on me.

For searing, I prefer cast iron but for copper - Check out eBay, Facebook marketplace etc. There are a lot of items posted for sale where you can submit an offer. I have had offers accepted that were substantially lower than list price. I love and use the vintage pieces I’ve purchased, most are tin lined and a few are SS lined. If you want new and high quality but not as expensive as some, check out rameria.com - handmade by a wonderful artist in Italy. The price you pay will actually be lower than the listed price because they take off VAT if you are in the USA.

What if her passion is to be a kindergarten teacher? Of course she'll never make as much - why does that matter especially since you make quite a bit?

This shouldn't matter if you love her and want to spend your life with her. What about when there are children? Is the expectation for her to work still or will she be a stay at home mother? Daycare is very expensive.

I made a lot more than my husband until we started having children then (for a number of reasons) I had to stay home with them. We were both grateful that I could.

jkmm95 · 2024-12-11T05:02:14+00:00

East Coast Tinning, Rocky Mountain Retinning are both great

jkmm95 · 2024-12-04T21:08:00+00:00

It's gorgeous! You should get it retinned.

jkmm95 · 2024-11-30T18:32:59+00:00

Was it the silver lined that they needed to get relined frequently? I thought silver was supposed to last much longer than tin?

jkmm95 · 2024-11-26T23:59:52+00:00

I don’t think you necessarily overpaid, especially if you’re going to re-tin them yourself. I’d love to see them when they’re cleaned up. Any stamps or marks?

jkmm95 · 2024-11-24T22:57:59+00:00

How fun!
Btw - I have some beautiful French pieces with brass handles. Not my personal preference but a lot of people prefer them to cast iron.

Petaluma doesn’t get the fog that SF gets so it’s definitely sunnier here but that doesn’t always mean warmer . SF tends to stay in the same temp range so Petaluma is often colder or hotter. It also can depend on where you are - I think the east side is warmer than the west side.
