That's impressive. Are you a weather wizard?

No, but I was told by the person at the visitors center that I was lucky, I was there for a rare weather event....a blizzard and a whiteout at the grand canyon.
To which I responded...I'm from upstate NY, I can see this multiple times every winter..... but I cannot see the grand canyon and that is what I'm here to see

 

[Gerry Seymour]

You're probably right, @Buka knows everybody

Or at least a suspiciously large subset of everybody.

 

[Gerry Seymour]

Well the Spotty Mountain Spotted fever is finally gone...but now I have a sinus infection.....

Sounds like a good trade.

 

[Gerry Seymour]

This.

Nice try, noob.

Yeah...I would not consider that lucky. At all.

Hey, I've been on this site longer, you're the noob! Maybe only by 2 months, but it counts!

Like any good braggart, I only look at the stats that favor me. So time on the site is irrelevant.

 

[AngryHobbit]

Ah, it does that like every second day anyway, that would be delightful XD

Ah, so we just have to time it and make certain it is indeed one of those every second days.

 

[AngryHobbit]

Your just not built of the same tough stuff us Adirondackers are

Yes. Mud allergies are definitely indicative of extreme toughness.

Mowed the yard. Thought the lawnmower was smoking. Turns out it was just my breath. It's cold outside.

As someone who actually studied thermodynamics and heat transfer, I can't even express how much I am in love with this. I am gazing at this the way the NASA team was gazing at the Mars lander's telemetry data. @gpseymour , careful with this - it's a bit technical.

HAHAHAHAHA that is too good XD

Going on vacation next week, going to try and see the Grand Canyon again...last time I was there....I got to see a Blizzard...but no Canyon

We did the burro ride down into the canyon. Had a great experience. What time of year did you go to get caught by a blizzard?

So, how do we convert that for those mammoth chicken breasts we have in the freezer? If I start now, I can probably slap-cook one of them for this weekend.

We do have a convection microwave. It's right there. In the kitchen. On the counter. Left of the spice cabinet.

And your point is? Are you trying to stifle progress in the area of green cooking development? Slap-cooking is carbon-neutral, damnit.

you'll need to eat three of them to replenish the energy spend on slapping them though.
As you need to slap pretty fast, as not to lose the already gained temperature to the ambient

So, you're saying it's not only "green" technology, but also slimming.

Sous vide it to 155F and then slap cook it to taste.

I don't know why, Steve, but that sentence just made me laugh far more than it should have.
