All the stuff I brought back from vacation. This site is informing my purchasing.
I just got back from summer vacation in the States. A lovely vacation house in Whidbey Island, Washington near Seattle. Blue water, green land, and crisp summer skies with zero pollution. While there I picked up a bunch of stuff like I usually do, and brought it back in my luggage. Only this time, one of my big bags was replaced by a 22" Weber Premium. It hurt losing the extra storage space but I absolutely had to have the Weber. My Slow-n-Sear didn't fit into the Chinese clone grill I bought, slightly too tall. The Weber box, amazingly, fit under the airline's size requirements and was able to be checked as luggage.
I bought tons of stuff from Amazon from this site's links. See how many of them you can recognize! I had a perfectly good cutting board, but with no lip. I gotta have the lip for board sauces, which is something I would never do without this site. Finally picked up some liquid smoke. It's like $350 of stuff there. And this doesn't count the things I bought already on previous trips, the grill cover, the injector, the S-n-S, the tons of spices. Seriously Meathead needs to start an endorsement of a spice company because he's made me buy a ton of them that I never would have otherwise. And spices ain't cheap. I had a big cookout a few weeks ago and just for the rub I bought like $50 worth of spices from the local grocery store. This site is really informing my purchasing habits.
After I took this photo I forgot that I packed some things inside the Weber box. It was 38 pounds by itself so I filled it up to 48 pounds and then resealed it. The hovergrill fit nicely alongside the Weber grills. I couldn't find wood chunks anywhere in Washington State (grr) so chips it was. The hamburger maker is to make large numbers of consistent burgers, not really because I want to make stuffed burgers. The apron was a funny story...I ordered it from a website in America and got it shipped, only to find out that it was being made in China and shipped to me all the way from there. I could have just saved a lot of time and money by getting the seller to ship domestically. I wanted a cool design that was simultaneously strongly pro-America and strongly pro-China, and graphics like that are harder to find than you might imagine. This image I found as a propaganda poster from the 1930s and had the apron company print it.
