craigrice Really, it’s the French Maid’s outfit that goes perfect with the high heel boots.

Wow Chef, You Team Blue folks sure are adventurous with those blue French maid uniforms and all. Maybe that’s why you’re such a tight knit group…

bocephus I just bought another large tote at Costco, to keep my processing stuff in. I’ve learned to keep quiet about any of my wife purchases, because I know I’ll be getting more (and larger) equipment as time goes on. We got home today to find a box from UPS on the back step. She looked at it and said “Oh, Walton’s”, and just walked on by. I said “Yep, I got you a kitchen grinder.”
Jonesy I was lucky. My wife saw the new grinder and stuffer and asked me when I’m making some more snack sticks!!!

ND Mike Now that’s the way they should take it. That leaves you open for more [tools].

cdavis it sure does! I’m trying to figure out a way to sell her on the new Waltons chamber vac!

ND Mike yea I’m working on mine too. I think I’m wearing her down. I smell that Waltons chamber sealer in my near future. Good luck with yours.

cdavis thanks! I tried to explain that in the long run we will be money ahead. Buy food in bulk and then package and freeze!

ND Mike I am also looking at the chamber vac, my wife just said find the room. So I am working on that too many hobbies.

I’ve had a chamber vac for about 5 yrs, can’t imagine being without it

ND Mike I’ve been wanting a chamber vac for so long (though my VacMaster 350 does great job). Current sale at Costco online ($599 for brand that rhymes with GEM) finally made me pull the trigger last night.

ND Mike I’ve had my MacMaster VP 215 for years. Besides packing for sale, I can’t begin to calculate how much savings I had over the years. It really paid for itself just in food loss alone.
The one you located has an oil pump, which I particularly like. Should last you well past your life span. (Have a couple of kids eyeing up mine) LOL

ND Mike Do the dishes and run the vacuum a couple times and try again.

Chef asked my kids why don’t they invest in their own tools when they come over to work on their cars. Their response, they don’t need to I have everything they need to borrow and they will get it after I am gone. LOL

YooperDog I feel your pain. There are times that I think I am their personal grocery store. I took care of the tools before they left. Each one got a basic tool box as a get out of the house gift. LOL

YooperDog I was blamed for missing tools from my dad. He would say “I’m sure you borrowed that”. After he passed away, I was cleaning out his stuff getting ready for an auction and found most of the stuff he was sure I borrowed. Tools that fell behind his benches, got stuck in the back of drawers, you get the idea. He had so much stuff, the auction was 9 1/2 hours non stop. I guess that’s was happens when you live in the same house 50 years

kyle Reminds me of a story when I was young. Dad had a garden and wasn’t getting very many peas one summer, kept blaming me and my brothers for picking and eating the peas raw, he was getting pretty mad. We looked at each other wondering which one was doin it. One day I was washing dishes and the window looks out over the back yard. Our dog was out in the garden pulling peas off the vines without damaging the plant. Called my dad and showed him, he started laughing, apparently because it was the dog it was okay.

YooperDog My kid was always using my tools when he was growing up, never put them away, left them out. Then when he became a mechanic and got his own tools, I went over and used his tools, left them out and borrowed all my marked tools back. He also has a bad habit of using my specialty tools and breaking them without replacing them. I fixed that problem too, I bought new ones and give him the broken ones. He finally got the clue.

bocephus I had a cocker spaniel that did the same. I thought it was the wildlife, but nothing was damaged. There she was carefully picking the ripest nipping them off.

YooperDog I’ve got two that love strawberries, apples and green beans. My male pulls green apples off the tree.
