You’re looking for something like this. Quite a few listings on eBay as well. StarTech 40 pin pata to sata adapter. You plug the sata side into the hard drive and the ide ribbon cable plugs into the 40 pins pata connector on the opposite side. Connect molex power & set the adapter to master...

For slot loaders the limit is 128gb for boot and storage, for earlier trayloaders, storage is 128, boot is 8gb. This changed/increased when Apple disco’d the HeathrowATA controllers in the Trayloaders for KeylargoATA controllers in the slotloaders. and no worries - only reason I recall this was...

I’d boot into the installer CD & partition before installing. Tiger would be a great choice as it introduces non destructive partitioning. Under utilities drop down from the install cd you’ll find the partition tool disk utility that you can use to partition the new drive prior to OS...

Thanks! It has turned out to be a very functional space for us as well. Appreciate the kind words :)

That first trinitron you had looks almost identical to the one I had. Look at that pile of gifts for that little boy! Fun memories 🎅 Thanks for sharing.

This was the flatscreen trinitron I got from my folks when they upgraded to a big flatscreen projection TV. https://www.crutchfield.com/S-lGLiMDHbd8q/p_15836FV26/Sony-KV-36FV26.html I liked that TV a lot too (had an awesome picture) but I am a nut for that 80s wood grain so always think back...

It was very very similar to this in shape except it sat on top of a perfectly matching in depth and width smoked glass door base. https://www.retrosexual.gr/product/vintage-sony-trinitron-kv-2100wx-color-tv-20-rent-only/ It did NOT have however that WX moniker on the left. So very very...

That sounds delicious and inviting. I’m sure visitors were happy to visit and this made memories that will last a lifetime 🙂 I did the same and thought back to when I was a kittle kid and the traditions of my family. They were of German immigrants so we always had pfeffernusse, various forms of...

I am not a crazy hot chile guy nor is my wife. Now her folks and family on the other hand eat absolute fire. I do like a tingle and agree that you need to get the capsaicin to really experience the flavor of the Chile but don’t understand the penchant to destroy one’s pallet with atomic, face...

Neither. I use these 🙂 Actually, I really like my wife’s uncle Mike’s Chile. It is super flavorful but last couple years he’s been growing fresh green Chile vs taking the time to mature & dry red pods. I can’t begrudge the guy though as he’s 82 this year lol. But my build is simple: toasted...

Last time I was in Tucson, I had these BOMB smoke brisket blue corn green Chile tamales. SO GOOD. If you don’t want to go to the trouble of individual tamales, you can execute en masse and steam up a tamale pie. A personal fav of mine With a fried egg on top. This one was todays lunch, so we...

Here’s another. - northern NM Red Chile pork tamales. I’m not going to lie as they’re a cap ton of work to meez up n process but are always the first to go during the holidays in my neck of the woods because they’re freakin delicious. Technically it IS a do ahead item so would open up plenty of...

Here’s one of our households: Chimayo Red Chile pork tamales. what are yours?

This method is very handy in that you can prepare the ingredients ahead of time, plate at service and not be stuck in a hot kitchen. individual croquetas/quiches/tartlets/meat pies are great for this as well. Bake em off & next day give them a few minutes in the oven to warm/liquify the fat...

Another idea that is great for a grazing table is to deconstruct a dish into edible sub sections like this - I took a salad champetre (could do this with something like nicoise as well) and deconstruct it to finished sub-ingredients that folks could enjoy individually or they could build the...

I’m a big fan of keeping it simple. We’ll typically put out a table of charcuterie, cheese, pickled items, dip, crudite’, & some munchies like nuts/chips/pretzels & just let folks graze. Most items are shelf stable so will last the celebration with little maintenance. Table is typically built...

I’m grateful that my family came together, ate a bunch of lovingly crafted food & took all my leftovers with them to enjoy again.

Definitely incorporating some LEDs into my G5s after seeing this. What sort of translucent vinyl did you use for the diffusing bit? It really comes off like the OG cathode bulbs. Looks fantastic 🙂

I ran into a great deal per pound on some beef locally that I couldn’t pass up and that was reason to pull out this gadget. - a vacuum sealer. This particular unit is a Internet 5003134. I typically use this for venison the family harvests but in any instance of protein plenty, these are always...
