Well, I AM 4yrs. younger than her, so there IS that
I was going to ask you how old she was, but I didnât want to be too fresh 
Iâm 61(Holy Shit) 
you do the math from there 
So here I am, stuck in the middle of both of you with 63
Iâm sure youâve heard the song âStuck in the Middle with Youâ-by Stealers Wheel (showing my age again lol). I immediately thought of it, when reading your post.
I had that on my mind, but I didnât want to call the both of you clowns and jokers 
In a certain(positive)sense of the wordâs-we are, though!
Well, my 13.5 year old Weber Genesis was starting to act up, which I canât complain about, as itâs been over 13 years of flawless operation. I really neglected the cleaning/maintenance, and it suffered outside many times, uncovered, so itâs had a hard life. The gas tubes had rusted, and it wasnât heating evenly, so rather than detail it like I normally do, decided to replace the plates, tubes, flavorizer bars, igniters, and igniter block.
Wow, back to brand new-ish.
They really are durable grills, SD.
Iâm still running my og burner tubes, but have replaced flavorizer bars(twice), Igniter assembly, swapped to SS grates early on, from the cast iron it came with, and just yesterday installed new caster wheels, as the originals literally broke apart. Bought mine new at Home Depot around 2001
As I said on the other site: a helluva job! Kudos to you
Looking good @whthek, and I donât like the NEW Genesis-is, so I gotta fix the OLD one hehe.
Thank you @Jose.
Basmati
Do you soak yours in water before cooking, Joel? I canât seem to get it to come out tender when I prepare it. 
No, what I do is after I cook the meat in oil or ghee I toss in the rice to toast it a bit and then I add veggies an just enough beef stock in the cast iron to cover and I cook on high until the stock is absorbed and itâs soft every time. No lid no fluffing or nothing.
Works for noodles too
Youâd think I get bored of stir fry but I eat it almost every day, breakfast hash on weekends and a burger once a month then 15lbs of apples with the meal.
I havenât had a good stir-fry in ages. I think this weekend, the girlfriend and I will put one together. I love me Soy Sauce, too! Let you know what we came up with.
You must be shedding weight, no?
