What about your pizza oven relation, they got a stand mixer? 😉

Well they don't have much space in their kitchen. It's tiny. He might have one, not sure. He keeps most appliances in the garage. I do have the money, but there is the "I need a new car" thing to think about first. I am probably going to get the new car within the next few months, just trying to figure out how the stupid tariffs will affect the cost of that so I know the best time to buy.

I’ve lost track of how many times over whatever number of years I’ve gone to chop my car in and changed my mind. I can’t be bothered with the hassle of buying a new one, even put my name on a waiting list once and then took it off, just as well it was a Tesla 😂
I quite like the French way of doing cars, you buy it for life and it just gets tattier! 😆

Sounds like my truck! It runs and it's safe but...

Well if you think about the size of the US and how many states I still have yet to visit...I would prefer to drive for some of those road trips. My car is getting ready to have 100,000 miles on it soon. It's a 2013. It runs well but I would prefer to drive something newer. I do like flying for some trips but I am thinking a road trip out west where we take a few months to get to the Pacific NW US might be fun for us. I have a sister that lives in Seattle. Without stops, it would take over 35 hours to get there, not counting the zigzag we would make seeing the sights on the way. I don't trust my car for that long of a trip with the miles it has on it now.

Sorry for off-topic.

I do like the look of that stand mixer you bought, though. Just not a high priority right now for me.

I read that Europe is 3.9 million square miles and America is 3.7 million square miles so theres plenty of scope for distance here too, the French just don’t care about it.

On a motorbike with its ancient technology you expect at some point to break down. It’s expected and part of the excitement when you set off on a thousand mile jaunt, who knows if you’ll make it!
So you get good break down cover and are cock a hoop if you don’t have to use it. Your bike will be praised ad nauseam for getting you from point A to point B if it does it without a hitch, it will be a topic discussed over beers or days 😂

But yes I agree cars are different and I can see at 100,000 miles it might be on your mind. My car is also at that sort of mileage and I can’t say I trust it like I used to.

And a hard left swerve back on topic to ask TastyReuben about those DI ORA spatulas, are they much better than the usual?

I also like to drive on vacation. I've driven to Florida, Maine, and just west on I-80. This country is beautiful, and you can't see the beauty from the air. I drove to Arizona and back. I got to see the purple mountains' majesty and amber waves of grain! And drove through the Rocky Mountains (The Shining flashback LOL)

I like them. They’re seamless, so nowhere for crud to get into, and they have a good balance, and they go up to something like 600F for heat. They’re also America’s Test Kitchen top-recommended one, and ATK has steered me wrong in their recommendations just the once.
 
I have these silicone spats. Also, one piece, so easy to clean. I love them.

Thanks, I’ve put them on my list.
How did ATK steer you wrong?
