What non-shaving related item(s) did you buy?

Oh, and nearly 25 pounds of soap making oils and some EOs

 

Agilent Gas Chromatagraph! (for transformer oil analysis)

 

Arrghh...so you're the one that outbid me on that one.
All the transformer oil I have, well, lying around, will have to remain un-analyzed.
Guess I will have to find another way of analyzing as per ASTM D3612-02, Method B.

 

Zassenhaus Beech Wood Closed Hopper Coffee Mill Model 151.

 

A pair of Carhartt pants (I really like their stuff) and a tube of Tabac Hair cream.

 

I bought four bags of pine bark mini nuggets mulch for my wife today. She was very happy.

Shouldn't a buck knife cost a………dollar?

For the wife (and me ), I picked up what every manly kitchen needs…a hernia-generating 18pound 7.8 quart enameled cast-iron Dutch oven.

I knew it was pretty good size from the online picture, but once it arrived and I put it on the stove. Holy smokes! What a beast!
Chili for 25, anyone?

 

I decided to go old school and get one of these. I have used it twice in the last two days and all I can say is, why did I wait so long? Everything taste so much better grilled on it.

 

as someone who grew up in socal and no longer lives there....this hurts, it hurts real bad

 

steak for dinner?

 

This thread turned into something more interesting than I thought - a great, and fun, insight into our members non-shaving life and interest

Thanks for sharing.

 

Five Guys has nothing on In-n-Out.

 

there is NO comparison....i hear it all the time and to me it doesnt compair...i grew up on a In-n-Out burger and its like your moms cooking, there is nothing like it...everytime we go back, we pretty much have In-n-Out atleast once a day.

 

Truth.
They're ok, but not close.

 

I have been eyeing that Lodge enameled pan but holding off hoping Costco would come back with their brand which I think is either actually made by Le Creuset or Staub.

 

I was looking at the Le Creuset line which has been the standard for premium enameled cast iron ware. But after doing some research and reading reviews, I was compelled to try the Lodge, mainly due to price difference from the Le Creuset—which are excellent.
See a good review of 'the Best Dutch Oven' Here
I wound up getting the largest model (7.8 qt vs the standard 6-qt).

 

I bought mine at Sam's Club about 10 years ago. Love that thing.

 

My wife got the 6 quart dutch oven for mother's day from her daughter in red. Lodge is very good pot.

 

Looking at smoking a pork butt and brisket this weekend
