it's a old and poor recipe so i'd say the cheapest one!
in italy the simple yellow/gold onions are the cheapest and are the ones i use.

Do you think the black color helped with longevity? I’m looking for a new work shoe and curious if lighter colors would last as long!

Thank you, i'm super stressed and doing this kind of slow tasks relax me.
this give me the excuse to sit down in front of the fireplace , read a book and relax for half a day, the only task to do after searing the meat is adding water and keep it boiling, it's very very relaxing !

Because of this I now wear Allbirds. Much more support and the same ability to throw in the washer etc.

No, they do make them like that, it's just that consumer expectations regarding price have become unrealistic.
Like, how much did that Kenmore Elite sell for brand new in 2003? Plug that into an inflation calculator and I think you'd be surprised at high the price ends up being.

What kind of onions do you use?
Thanks for sharing the recipe. Nothing better than real Italian food.

No actually I'm with you. It's totally a matter of work flow. This house accumulates a couple dishes/hour just kind of continuously. So it's less a dishwasher than a dirty dish storage unit to keep them off the counter.
If I'm cooking, I'm very wash as you go. Shit just piled up on the counter though drives me nuts and not everyone is ready to wash their own.

This is also a common feature on many Miele's as well.
Not sure why I've seen it only on German-made dishwashers.

I love mine. I just got a pear of the driving loafers and they’re even better.

I bought a pair last year and immediately returned them! The heel part is too small and I was stepping partially on the thick seam. I was prepared to buy inserts too. Love the look but poor design

Not bad quality as in “unsafe to drink,” but bad as in “lots of dissolved minerals.” Running off the mountains down to the front range allows the water to pick up lots of minerals that make it taste good, but those minerals can wreak havoc on the moving parts of a dishwasher. I’ve had mineral deposit issues causing lots of scaling in my house, so I recently installed a Nuvo H20 citric acid water conditioner. Hopefully my faucet heads will stop crusting over.
If you make the investment in a new dishwasher, investing in a water conditioner might be a good choice as well.

Look at this guy, cooking pasta sauce on a handed down pot, on coals with a trivet.
I'm honestly jealous.

Absolutely will, keep it in a small spray bottle

This happened to us with a 4 year old well reviewed KitchenAid model. Went with Miele after comparing to Bosch.

This is because the alcohol kills the bacteria on your skin from the sweat that actually causes the stink.
This ideation can also be used on your underarms. I keep a small spray bottle with alcohol in it that I spray on my pits and lightly dab off. This basically kills the stink. I then apply my deodorant. Mama don't have no stinky pits no more.

Unpopular opinion: I've worked in the food industry, and I much rather handwash my dishes, because it's just faster. I don't feel like placing dishes in a washer is faster then handwashing. I think people are just obsessive and slow when it comes to washing their dishes. I rather make space for a nice large sink and an air drying rack, then to make space for a dish washer and plumbing. I don't even technically need to put dishes away once they're on the drying rack, they just stay on the rack until I need the drying space. I also just hate the fact that I need to wait on a dishwasher to fill up (and then work) until I'm able to reuse the dishes.

I have one and actually don’t find them comfortable if wearing them for a whole day. The fabric rubs into my skin too.

This is key. When a rivet gets loose you can feel it, you have some warning. Then you can either drill it out and replace it or give it a bonk with a hammer to tighten it up.
Spot welds fail without warning and of course under load, which is when the pan is full. Also, when they do fail it is not usually possible to make a repair. Spot welding machines are very expensive and difficult to set up. You can drill out the area and put in a rivet but that is often tricky given the remains of the failure.
No spot welded handles in my kitchen.

I have a pair of bright red Points as well and I live in them. So comfortable and chic yet practical. Can’t wait to thrift another pair!
