First time dumping ash with the new KAB dog bowl. It’s a winner.

@lkapigian Creative genius right there. Orders of magnitude better than that thing McD occasionally cranks out I'm quite sure.
Louisville; Rolling smoke in the neighbourhood. # 38 for the win. Life is too short for light/lite beer! Seems I'm livin in a transitional period. -

I heard a dull "thud" from inside the kitchen, wasn't sure what it was. When I opened the frig to refill my iced tea, a roll of biscuits fell off the shelf, it had popped on its own.
The last time I made biscuits from a tube, they didn't rise and weren't very good; I checked the expiration date and it was from 3 years ago or so. I checked the expiration on this tube, and its today, 8 Dec 2019!! Those guys at Pillsbury have this down. -

It was good enough to do it again. Tortillas and enchilada sauce on the ghetto griddle. Enchiladas on the egg. Pretty tasty.Coleman, Texas

If a guy wanted a good tortilla press, what ones would he look at?

@milesvdustin The one I have was a gift from a friend. It's an inexpensive aluminum press. @SGH Highly recommends his heavy cast iron press (not trying to speak for you Scottie - I just figure you may be busy on that rig).
I cannot recommend a specific one - sorry.
I guess one way to look at it is that you could get an inexpensive one and see if you like making tortillas by hand. At the same time you'll see if the press works OK. Then you can decide if you want to upgrade. I dunno...Coleman, Texas

Then you can decide if you want to upgrade. I dunno...If you really want to step it up a notch to the cast iron, I have a StarBlue that I am very pleased with. It is a 13 pound monster and will press 10” diameter tortillas in a single press. The extra weight is spectacular for pressing. However be warned, the extra weight makes it a real chore to move, clean and store. It is a real handful. If you will be moving your press a lot, go smaller. Victoria makes a very heavy duty 8” press that is a little easier to handle and move around. The 10” is actually a little overkill unless you need 10” tortillas for some reason.On a side note, I also have a Tortillada 10” cast iron press that I picked up used. Like the StarBlue it is a 13 pound monster. I have not used it yet so I cannot speak from experience but just looking at it it is every bit the equal of the StarBlue. Both the Tortillada and StarBlue are 10” 13 pound iron monsters.With everything above said and aside, I would recommend to most people the Victoria 8” cast iron press. It is much easier to clean, handle and store. It, like to other 2 that I mentioned is built like a tank. It is just a little smaller which actually makes it much more practical for general home use. However if you want or need 10” tortillas or going to be turning out large volumes, then I highly recommend the Tortillada and StarBlue presses. You really have to see them in person to truly appreciate them.Location- Just "this side" of Biloxi, Ms.

@SGH That's an oval platter made by La Chamba

Here's an additional source:

I have several pieces of this pottery and really like the way they cook. Each piece is made by hand in Columbia. Since each piece is hand made lids do not always fit really well and they are not interchangeable between pieces. They handle heat well.
I have the 6 qt soup pot and I really like using it for beans. It's quite a bit more durable than a standard clay olla.Coleman, Texas

@theyolksonyou
Thanks! I'm glad to be back. I'm fully recovered from open-heart surgery. I had my aortic valve replaced and a serious aneurysm repaired. I'm half way through cardiac rehab and trying to get my life back to normal. According to my cardiologist the valve should be good for another 10-17 years. What? I'm only 64! Then what?"I'm stupidest when I try to be funny"
