Older Folks and Vaping Back Porch - Part Three

Double post.. Sorry.

We passed up on the 'talking' refrigerator'. It had a screen, mic and speaker in the door. You could play back netflix, pandora and some other apps on the screen and tether to your phone to make phone calls with it. I just couldn't see myself standing in front of the fridge talking to it. Nope.

But you could watch a cooking show on the door while you're looking to see if you have the ingredients or need to find another cooking show...

That is why the TV room is next to the kitchen. Proper home floorplan. Who wants to watch an 8" movie screen anymore...

Laptops and tablets work too. It's not uncommon to see Janet's laptop on the counter next to the bowls and ingredients as she preparing a dish from a recipe she found on the net.

Anyone going to the Hangout tonight??

 

[Kenna]

Hi Fran! Hi Deb, Birdy, Legs & Matt!!

 

[3mg Meniere]

Anyone going to the Hangout tonight??

Too frustrated with the lack of sound right now. I have been writing all day, and don't want any more frustration.

 

[Kenna]

I'm not going to tonight. I'm caught up here, now I'm catching up on the front porch. Plus gotta turn in early tonight. Have a Dr appt in the morning.

 

[MattB101]

Anyone going to the Hangout tonight??

Not tonight partner. Maybe tomorrow. Right now headed to bed. Was just getting ready to post the good night wishes to all so.... Goodnight everybody. I will most definitely see you all tomorrow. Can't guarantee morning or afternoon but, I suspect morning.

 

[MikeE3]

Anyone going to the Hangout tonight??

No offense intended .... but nope .... I'm off to bed.

Nite all

Oh, and hi to Legs, 0mg, and Kenna. Sorry to send salutations and run but... zooom!

Also had never heard about 'induction' stoves. The burners don't get hot at all. Some kind of magic w/ magnetism heats the metal cooking pan/pot - but you can put your hand on the burner area and not get burned. Nope wasn't interested in this technology either. The salesman said his friend just lays paper towels on the stove top before cooking. Then any spills / splashes are soaked up by the towels and no stains on the glass top.

Me neither but, that's what is waiting for us at the MIL's house. All electric home too. Gas other than propane is not available and it's a townhouse in neighborhood association development and I am not sure we could even have a propane tank installed. Couldn't put it in back as access would be through the neighbor's back yard and I don't think they would let it go out front even if I wanted to put it there. I really like cooking with gas. They say an electric oven is better though as it holds a more even temperature.

We have an induction cooktop. It works beautifully! The only downside is that your pots and pans must be made of a metal that can hold a magnet. (I know there's a word for that, but for the life of me I can't recall it! Damnable chemo brain!) Ours has a special burner that heats up really quickly; a big pot of water (think spaghetti pot) comes to a boil in about 2 minutes. Induction ranges have been popular in Europe for a long time. Not so much, here.

OT: Had a busy day today, culminating in the purchase of a Mark Bugs Chalice. Now I just need to get a bottom fed mod

Off to la la land. So sleepy. Hugs to all and wishes for a restful night!

Ferrous Metal. At least I'm fairly sure. Still here but working towards bed.

 

[MattB101]

I just put in 2.5 and didn't even look to see if it took.

It didn't. Put in 2PAD and went from 6.50 to 7.00 on the cost. Still a little low but, who cares. It's the date that's important in my book.

 

[clnire]

All the tech in appliances, cars and whatnot. Just something else to go bad and cost a fortune to fix.

Nite all!

OK and Hi all will see ya tomorrow maybe. One thing about it I got 160ml of juice made. 3 flavors. 2 I've never tried Pina Colada and Chocolate Truffle. Got 2 more Kanger STM's today so I can have more flavors on Nickel. Passed on getting a 3rd SX for the time being. Supposed to have an update coming by the end of the month to make it 75w or 150w in Pwer mode. If I don't have to have it think I will pass on it don't need it.

 

[Iffy]

I'm just happy she decided to replace the current glass top stove w/ a gas stove. I never liked the glass top stove.

With ya on glass tops, what we have now. Patty was scared of gas stoves. But since I do the cooking now, if we get another stove, it'll be a gasser.

I just couldn't see myself standing in front of the fridge talking to it. Nope.

I've cussed into mine a few times...

Gonna forgo da hangout tonight and try to catch up on some rest. Besides, I think I got a new wrinkle yesterday and gotta try to iron it out with my pillow...

 

[Ken_A]

I was in the hangout 2.5 hours ago... No one there, so been watching movies.

 

[garyoa1]

Gas beats electric hands down. You can heat foods almost as fast as a microwave. But one caveat... cleaning the $@#% thing.

hehehe your fridge could go in the hangout though!! lol

The salesman said his friend just lays paper towels on the stove top before cooking. Then any spills / splashes are soaked up by the towels and no stains on the glass top.

now that would be interesting. I've seen those burners they advertise with induction, looked interesting, but dunno. Still prefer a gas stove, but have only had one one time.

a Reo perhaps? lol Or do ya still want a regulated one? If so, ask Ken about the one he got. It's cheaply made, but I think around 40.00 now. I'd posted the link for you when it was on sale, and he bought one lol

It didn't. Put in 2PAD and went from 6.50 to 7.00 on the cost. Still a little low but, who cares. It's the date that's important in my book.

Jup, I don't really care about the cost. I put in 4.00, but really the ones I was smoking for the last two years were 1.50/pack after tax cuz I just couldn't afford my marlboro's anymore. 13 more days til I hit 3 years. (if I math'd right which is unlikely) lol
