It was a friend's place.  

She just got the stove installed a couple of weeks prior to my arrival.  

Loved cooking on it . . . especially since I was the one who seasoned her stainless griddle.  

It's a beautiful ivory/antique white color with dark bronze knobs and bars.

BTW - It's a hybrid . . . the oven is electric (6 burner stovetop is gas).  9 settings to cover every bell and whistle oven option one could hope for.

I have a DCS range and griddle that I really like. The griddle is well seasoned and you can make a breakfast with the works on there for several people. The griddle is definitely a necessity if you do lots of cooking for more than two people. All these people fucking around with stupid air fryers, a well seasoned griddle is where the real magic happens.

I was joking about the retreat by the way, it just sounded like you’re up there in the Hamptons or something cooking up a storm with Barefoot Contessa and Jeffery and all their gay friends. Maybe Oprah pops in once in a while.

Air fryer is where the lazy, faster cooking magic happens. I love my slow cooker but can't wait to try my Chefman air fryer. Stick the food in, set the temperature and time, and 20 minutes or less......yummy goodness.

In theory....I'll test it out one of these days. I've got a week off scheduled in October. Should try it out at least once then.

Sally, what are those round or oval rugs that are usually in farmhouses called?

I love rugs, how do I not know this. I’ll go google it and get back to you.

I could not find any particular name for a round farmhouse rug other than rustic. Or maybe you’re thinking of jute rugs?

Either a rag or rope rug.

I had a sea grass rug, I loved the way it looked but it was uncomfortable as fuck on bare feet and the dog kept pissing on it.

That one is a a braided rope rug.

Thanks. Those are it. I swear we called it something else as a kid, but I can't remember what.

Dear Sally,

This morning I made apple crisp, but I halved the recipe. It was delicious, but not very crispy. Could I have possibly used too much butter?
Honestly I did not follow the recipe or halving it perfectly.

You half assed it and the crisp recipe needs to be to a T to come out right. Unlike other food, baking needs exact measurements.

Cooking is art, baking is science.

I also didn't use chilled butter, I used the stick I took out the night before
