I had no idea. Thanks, Botch. Of course I'm still using my Oppo DVD player and praying nightly for its continued health.

When Oppo quit making disk players I found two more used ones and bought them as backup; haven't needed them yet but I don't regret doing so.

I should do that....

Bottle of New Riff Single Barrel 

recently bought one, its not going to last long.   

No sir it will not.   This is my 3rd bottle for a reason.   Ha

Will have to give it a whirl.  All the bottles I like have ballooned in price.

Has anyone tried this?

I'm interested in trying the sauce- Amazon carries it, but it's pricey. $16.99 and the reviews are mixed.

Peppers and tomatillos sounded good, but they lost me at pears.  It might be good, but I just like classic Verde sauces.

It was at Academy Sports not far from Meat Church.

A question for the older folks. I need to buy an automatic jar opener, my arthritis in my hands have become a problem. Any suggestions on brand and model?

We have three go to's, two manual and one automatic.

1) swmbo's favourite, uses it to break the seal/bind and often works.

2) Not sure if they still make this or something similar. Picked this from a thrift store a while back. Use it occasionally.

3) Works real well. You can use just one on the lid, or grip the jar with a second one as well.

Your past here betrays you. SWMBO is your fave. 😂

Don't overlook thrift store jar openers. My cousin Billy was on a tiny budget because he had a side hustle of smoking meth, which turns out to be very expensive and rots your teeth out, so he had to start getting mushy foods in cans, at the very same time that he had no money. I found a thrift store jar opener for him that he could make payments on for four years

@GrateEggspectations It's Scandinavian, what do you expect?



Seriously though, just broke the seal on this new jar of honey and opened with ease. Worked a treat.

just remembered this technique that works sometimes ... grab the jar and bang its bottom against the palm of your other hand.

'To release ketchup faster from a glass bottle, here is a little secret from Heinz,' a spokesperson explained. 'The sweet spot to tap on the Heinz bottle is the 57 on the neck. All you need to do is apply a firm tap where the bottle narrows, and the ketchup will come out easier.

Just because you don't have a grant to study this, doesn't mean it isn't true.

Give it the ol'college try.  Just be careful you will empty the entire bottle if you don't watch it.

See, the difference between you and me is that only one of us takes the word of a product spokesperson at face value.

My aunt told me this ketchup trick years ago! The only difference is its a karate chop to the neck of the bottle. It works!  But,  she is a Carolina fan- maybe things are different in Durham?

.im thinking the spokesperson came up with the idea of the squeeze bottle and the physicist is still looking for the door to get out of the diner.

Just went down the @Florida Grillin Girl introduced rabbit hole of last year with the Florida stone crab claws.  Only once a year as I need a few cocktails to swallow the overnight shipping, but I get that.  Arrival later this week.  Gonna be great eats!
