I used an enameled cast iron dutch oven to make Cauliflower Au Gratin. This particular dutch oven is not a $350 Le Creuset or Staub. It's a $45 Amazon Basics. Is it as good as the big $ Le Creuset... Probably not, but I've used it quite a lot in the 3 years I've had it, and I'm pretty impressed with it. I do plan on buying the smaller version.

Forgot to take pic after baking, but it looked and tasted pretty good. Al cooked some different gourmet sausages, and it was a fantastic pairing.

Almost missed this one. Have a fantastic Birthday Marc! I remember when your first child was born. And you were the first person in this forum that I came out to in person. We've built some amazing projects together, and I consider you and your family among my closest friends!

Bacon + cocoon = bacoon.

I can't understand it? The FedEx guy either ate the cookies I'm certain you sent, or Brent somehow intervened?

Sounds like explosive lunch meat. Looks incredible.

Making Cauliflower Au Gratin for the first time. I successfully made a smooth Bechamel sauce. Then turned that into a Mornay sauce. Blanched my Cauliflower florets. Combined all and refrigerated until time to bake for dinner at DOTU's this evening. Three cheeses. Mozzarella, Monterey Jack and Parmigiano. I'm sure it will look better after baking.

He's right. An American single portion will feed a family of 6 in Europe.

I just ate, and yet you've made me hungry!

Happy Birthday Dusty!

RIP Barri.

Adjusting to get minimal Snipe is well worth it.

I don't like to plane anything less than about 20". That's just a personal comfort zone. If I have to plane short boards, I like to tape them to a longer piece of MDF, with double sided tape.

Uhm, I choose to sleep alone, and I personally love sleeping alone (alone meaning me sleeping in Suzy's bed), and would be happy putting effort into a bed for one human and one dog 97% of the time.

Hey Doug, I found the perfect project for you.

How would you feel if Daffy were in that lineup? Or worse yet, Huey Dewey or Louie?

Oops. I didn't see this thread, and started another one.

That dude is insane.

Happy Birthday Peter! Have a great day!

Happy Birthday! Unfortunately I don't know who's Birthday it is until we get that fixed.

Clearly the answer is more guns on the streets, especially assault weapons.

As I see no large craniumed man of Mexican heritage anywhere near those baked delights, I think they look fantastic and the world is safe for another day.

The legs are splayed a bit, but it still seems to me that most of the weight is placed in a downward force on the legs themselves. Not the joints. As for the screws, they are holding the weight horizontaly, not vertically. So there's no danger of the screws pulling out. It's all about the shear strength of the screw, not the holding power of the threads. It seems like a pretty sound design to me. A piece connecting the front and back legs, down low would add a lot of strength, but probably take away from the overall esthetic.
