I would have to pass by at least 20 local family run pizzaria/restaurants to get to Olive Garden (no joke - there's literally one in every strip mall, along with a nail salon, but I digress) and yet there is ALWAYS a line there. I definitely prefer the local joints and there are 2-3 in particular that are spectacular - like Carmine's good. My issue with OG is the abundance of alfredo type sauces of which I am not a fan. It's just too heavy for me.People must love OG. Because we’d not eaten a single bite all day, we stopped for “blupper” at just a few minutes past 4:00, and the restaurant was 3/4 full. When we left an hour later, every table was occupied, the waiting area was 40+ people deep, and another dozen mingled outside.
Yeah, most family run Italian joints are better than OG, but it doesn’t mean we don’t enjoy it. As someone, I forget who, used to say ... slurp.
Confiscate DH's car keys and you should be good to go.

Certainly worthy of a different thread, but, there is no bigger rip off on the planet then those expiration dates. Two things... things that go bad usually emit an odor that makes it no mistake as to age and if it isn't then just make sure that everything reaches as least 160 degrees and all bacteria is killed dead. Expiration dates on sealed container beer and soda is the most blatant scam companies ever had the ability to pull off.

I go well past "best by" dates. I don't necessarily need a product to be at its best in order to consume it. Just average is okay.

You can come to my house for dinner anytime.

Yay, Mommy’s home just in time to look after the Ski. Nearly lost his finger in a work-related accident.
He is on his way home from an out of town hospital. Mike is going to have to go pick him up from the shop when he gets back.
He has a prescription for antibiotics, which I will have to nag him to take; pain-killers, which he might (or might not) take; and a referral to a hand specialist, if he doesn’t regain feeling and mobility within 3 days.
Ugh, this is going to be so much fun. He is the worst patient in the universe!

Left; although he’s semi-ambidextrous.

Good. I only mentioned it for those that throw perfectly good food away the minute the "Best By" date is reached. It, of course, is their business, but, I hate to see people sucked in by a mass corporate misinformation designed to just increase their sales.
Not to long ago my daughter was visiting me. I buy Diet Coke for them, I don't drink it so it was a few months past the "best by" date and she took one sip and looked at the date and dumped it out in the sink. It still had all it's co2 and was as bubbly as a can filled yesterday, but, that date was on it so out it went. Incredible, I'd a thought a person with a degree from Tulane University would have been smarter then be taken in by corporate greed.

Gotham Steel. Very disappointing.

Try soaking it in hot soapy water for an hour or so, then use a non-stick scrubbie. It worked for me when my Gotham Steel looked like that.

Isn't there a lifetime guarantee?

If that doesn't work, she can also try heating the pan with the soapy water in it on the stove for a bit as well. That helps with certain pots...not sure about gotham steel.

The coating underneath all that schmutz has been previously damaged by metal utensils - not by me. No amount of soaking and seasoning is going to be worth it. I fry things like twice/year, so it’s no skin off my nose.
This would be Spenser’s doing. It’s always Spenser’s doing.
This pre-supposes I have the receipt. I don’t. We go through at least two fry pans/year.
Once these kids move out, I’ll buy a new set and they’ll probably outlast me. And if they don’t move out, I’m going to start giving them fry pans for Christmas. That’ll learn ‘em.
