    I've been trying to make half sheet maki, but my eye for amounts is off. Still putting too much into most rolls. Made some oatmeal raisin cookies this weekend. At least they turned out well.

    Don't buy appliances from consumer electronics stores.

    If you are a Costco member, they have a fantastic warranty. If you are buying a full kitchen and laundry rooms worth of appliances, an executive membership may pay for itself with the cash back from their purchase.

    Anecdotally, we have had Samsung & LG refrigerators that weren't worth there price of admission. Before that we had a KitchedAid for 15+ years. At the moment we are 5 years into a Bosch kitchen and everything still works as it always has, knock wood.

    We are 25 years into a (used!) Maytag gas dryer and (new) Miele washing machine. Very early on we needed the washing machine serviced but it turned out we were using too much detergent and the fix was to run a couple cycles on the hottest setting then use less detergent in each load.

    Ben Sulayem's meddling is so clumsy. FIA needs to consider whether poking the bear is smart. The threat of a breakaway series seems a lot more realistic these days.
