My grandmother used to make “Chex Mix” by the truck loads when I was a kid. During the holidays, she’d pull out 3-5 ice cream buckets of the stuff. Now you can buy it already made in bags at the store. That still strikes me as odd, kinda like Rice Krispie Treats. You couldn’t buy […]

I mentioned in an earlier posting, Char-broil invited yours truly to their 2007 product roll out. Besides the flashy TEC gas grills and the Double-Door Smoker, BBQ and Grill (yeah, the name still sucks) a little gadget caught my eye, the Smart Thermometer.
