One quick question: what kind of dish to pass are we talking about? Real food, or snack food? We're thinking veggie/deli platter. Along with my Coffee-Oatmeal...
I'm considering going all-grain. Since I know where to get 30qt turkey- fryers for only $37, I was thinking of using a 3-tier system of fry-pots as HLT ->...
