    Experimenting on foods.

    What is Chinese food? I'm Chinese. If I make it, it's Chinese food. Is it authentic? Authentic to me. Chinese restaurants can mix any combination of vegetables and/or protein, add sauce, and sell it. Most of us can buy these sauces in bottles. There is a difference. They have a...

    Vintage Things That Have Disappeared In Your Lifetime?

    The bank book. No bank uses passbooks anymore. Remember how you had to have it when you went to the bank? Remember when banks wouldn't allow you to withdraw your money without it? I can vividly recall telling the manager, "I have the account number, you see my driver's license, and you know...

    Made In USA?

    I get a pair of boots issued every year. The employer has a "uniform specification", and the uniform supplier is expected to meet the specification. Apparently, "Made In USA" is not part of the specification. The uniform supplier is allowed a bit of leeway when it comes to what they supply...

    Vintage Things That Have Disappeared In Your Lifetime?

    The vintage rumor that a microwave causes cancer, or sterility, has disappeared in my lifetime. When I was a child, it was common to hear that you'll get cancer from using a microwave. Or, "you won't be able to have any kids". Conservatively guessing, without any science what-so-ever, I...

    What's going on with the FL site?

    Sometimes the page doesn't load at all. Sometimes "www.cnn.com" will show up in the address bar. Sometimes I get the error screen. Photos don't load without multiple attempts. 9 out of 10 times, there's an issue.

    Made In USA?

    That's the reality for most of us. If we can't afford it, we buy what we can afford. We live in a global economy. We have to participate in trade. And we can't possibly "buy local" for everything. Good luck with buying local gasoline, made with local oil. Depending on where you live...

    Horween lux

    Horween Lux is interesting. Not a lot of information about it. Not many products use it. I have Wolverine 1000 Mile Boots made with Horween Lux. It's soft and comfortable. I didn't have to break it in. And depending on the lighting, it looks different.

    Wolverine 1000 Mile Boot review

    DAD20 is the coupon code. If you can find your size, there are good prices.

    Wolverine 1000 Mile Boot review

    The coupon code SPRINGDEAL will reduce the sale price by 20%. For the person with the right shoe size, you can get some of these boots for under $200. I wish I had more than 2 feet, to help wear some of my shoes.

    Made In USA?

    Final assembly can mean almost nothing. Yet, it means everything. I have personally seen factories where they glue together a few pieces, or put a cover on with a few screws, and then label it as "Made In USA". The worst was actually watching workers sew on "Made In USA" labels on clothes...

    Made In USA?

    It used to be that something Made In USA was certain to be a quality item. Other countries as well. You wanted things Made In England, Germany, Italy, et cetera. We also used to frown on Made anywhere in Asia...... Taiwan, China, Japan, etc. Does it still matter to anyone? Nike and...

    Kitchen knives

    Hardware stores now have machines. Automated. No more worrying if the tech has good eyes or a steady hand.

    Kitchen knives

    What I remember was that in restaurants, and in homes, the Chinese knife was simply stuck in the wood block cutting board. A very popular chef wrote in one of his books, that you only needed a handful of knives. I have a lot of knives. The same way a plumber has wrenches. My tool...

    (KNIVES) Let's see some sharp pointy objects

    This is what happens when you have too many knives. What? Is there such "a thing" as too many knives? That's like having too many tools. Or too many pairs of boots. Or too many leather jackets. Produce such as oranges and avocados come in net bags. Hams come in net bags. Oysters come...
