    I hate people who say ” my cuisine is the best in the world” although they
    have never tasted any other food from any other country…it’s pathetic …

    How nice to see that some young people still respect their elders.

    @theozfan until those young people grow up, toss the elders in a home and
    visit them only once a year (on Christmas), for 2 hours.

    It’s interesting when he mentions here (in lots of other episodes, too)
    that he has one main burner that has all the heat and power, because I am
    pretty sure they are all made like that now. At least, my gas range has the
    front right burner larger and more powerful than the others. I agree with
    him that it’s essential to have, and I hardly ever need it above medium.

    thanks so much for posting some of the more obscure episodes, don’t think
    your work goes unappreciated!
