Is that how this works?
Anyway, I'm a long-time veteran of a few online discussion forums that I think are pretty like-minded to this one. A bunch of irreverent a--holes just living their best lives.
Forgive my youth - I'm 37 and can't do anything about it. I've always tended to be more comfortable with people quite a bit older than myself, and largely live by the rule that if the music was made after I was born, it's not worth listening to.
I have loved cooking my entire life, am good at it, and I'm going to be good at this kind of cooking, too, because I'm already passionate about it. But, the best lesson I've learned over the years is that there's no substitute for cubic inches. But that's not important right now. I've also learned that there's no substitute for experience (other than maybe, cubic inches).
I've already learned a bunch lurking here for the past few weeks and immediately fell in love with this group. I've bookmarked a bunch of stuff. Y'all are mildly insane (but it's the good kind). I've done the audiophile forums - those guys are actually clinically off, you know? $100K for wires. Anyway, I'm excited for the challenge of learning a whole new way to cook. I'm an engineer type (not by education or trade, just self-proclaimed FWIW) and can't wait to geek out some delicious cooks.
I actually owned a BGE once before... story for another post.

A little more about me - I do enjoy stirring the pot a bit, and am anxious to see if I end up triggering anyone at work today. 1,100 people in my building so I'm carving out at least 30 minutes for a visit to HR.
I did the worst I could with the hair I have. Didn't plan on this or I'd have planned better. Just came to me as I saw the suit hanging up. -

You're going to fit right in. I'm one of the younger (38), new gen EggHeads here. Lots of good folks here even if half of them are geriatrics I kid, I kid

Well, the intent was ol' 45 himself.
But it was hastily thrown together, didn't want to risk any of my wife's makeup trying to get the orange look, needed at least 3-4 more weeks of hair growth to get the right "flow" . . .
Someone today thought I was a secret service agent.

You’re coming on at a good time. This used to be a much less friendly place. It’s trending nicer.
That being said, I give you three weeks. Tops.=======================================
