I roast the shrimp for 5-6 minutes in a hot oven (400-425). Pour a bit of olive oil on and season with whatever you please, then toss and roast. Perfectly done, lovely color. If I'm doing a sautéed sauce, I take the shrimp out of the oven in 4-4 1/2 mins and dump them, Lang with accumulated juices into the sauce. Works a charm!

If you want a blue screwdriver, I'm happy to send one to you :)

Oh thank you my dear, but I have enough little screwdrivers!

I sauteed my shrimp and scallops in butter, seasoned with Old Bay and red pepper flakes. I saute them for about 4 minutes, and set aside to add to whatever dish I'm making at the end. For yesterday's dish, I sauteed the seafood first, then set it aside and then sauteed the onion, spinach and mushrooms in the juice from the seafood. In a separate pot, I made the lemon butter sauce with fresh lemon juice, lemon zest, a little sugar to tame the natural lemon and some virgin olive oil. I did draim the juice from the vegetables, then added the veggies, sauce and seafood to linguine. It all came together in about 30 minutes and was simply fantastic!

Hunger strikes.

Lentils beckon.
Puy lentils tossed in a lemon vinaigrette on top of frisée or arugula, topped with a good goat or blue cheese is one of my favorites. Not at all hungry, but am now thinking of moseying into the kitchen :)

Le puy greens, n'est pas?

I like the Madras. I like 'em over a bed of organic red lentil rotini. It's so matchy--matchy. Topped with a bit of grated Romano. And veggies. Lotsa veggies.


Off to da kitchen, me. :)

I figure we should do an on topic post once in a while, just to keep the mods guessing, so here goes:

I'm not replacing my 18650 AWs when they go. I never use them. Well, I started using them in the P3 at home, just to get some use out of them before they die. They read 75 Good IQ, which is okay, but when they go, they go for good.

18490s check. 18350s check. But goodbye 18650s.

I'll maintain a couple of VTC4s or Sammys for dripping, building, and possibly temp control.

Well it was sort of on topic, right?

I only use 18490's. The size of the 18650 makes a P3 too big. And the 18350 doesn't last long enough. 18490 lasts from when I get up at 7:00 till I go to bed around 11:30 PM.

And hey, what's with this on-topic stuff, huh? We were turning this into the P3 Bistro thread! LOL

Maybe you should sign up with ECF if you want to discuss vaping. :)

Lentils? Are you from NY?

Solution RB buy a second P3 and use 18350's batteries in each. They will last more than a day. Yes they will.

Solution? Solution implies there's a problem in need of solving. But there isn't in this scenario! I do want to add another P3 at some point, but only as backup to my first P3. I need to sell my P2.5 first though. It's quite lonely in its box, I'm sure.

Problem a 18350 feels better in the hand but doesn't last as long. Solution a new P3 TI. Problem switching tanks all day. Solution a new P3 TI.

Problem I was getting tired of my TV. Solution my wife decided to buy me (us) a new Sony 55" 4K UHD TV. It was a labor day pre Birthday gift. Problem I now need to change internet providers.

No problem. 18490 feels fine and works great. Most of the day and evening, my P3 with 18490 sits in a stand. Remove from stand. Vape. Put back in stand. Repeat. No problemo!

Here's why SR has no problem:

I have that same stand. Courtesy of my hubby. He got tired of me knocking over my P2 and one day it was just sitting on the counter :wub: He is such a sweetheart.

I'm with you Pingmeister. I prefer the 18350 in mini mode and am willing to put up with the more frequent battery changes. The benefit of the smaller profile when vaping makes up for the PITA it is to change more often...which really is no big deal really. But, to each their own. Some people just don't like dragging batteries around.
