Sounds like that guy is giving you the super economy model, Italiancook.
My previous water heater lasted about 30 years. The plumber who installed it advised me to draw off about a gallon of water a couple times a year but to be careful when the unit gets older because it's possible the spigot won't shut completely (it was plastic). So I did that for about 10 years but then stopped. It lasted another 20 (it was a Rheem). I think I replaced it 7 years ago with another Rheem. This one has a brass ball valve for maintenance but it doesn't have a knob, I have to use a screwdriver. This one advises to draw off a gallon every month. So far, so good.
Go on Youtube for some water heater maintenance info and tips.
I'm a big fan of measuring by weight. However, most recipes are not written that way and not everyone agrees to how much a cup of flour weighs.
Last night I made shrimp with pasta and cauliflower.
I have pizza dough left from the batch I made Thursday, so tonight's dinner will be pizza.
Happy Birthday, CWCdesign, hope you have a great day!
I made a pizza last night, with thin sliced onion, mushrooms and green pepper. The sauce was pasta sauce with mushrooms that I thickened with a dollop of tomato paste. I made the dough with equal amounts of durum, semolina and whole wheat, hydrated at 70% and a couple of teaspoons of butter and olive oil. It came out pretty good.
I made stuffed peppers yesterday so for dinner I had a pepper with brown rice and mushroom gravy. I think I'll make mashed potato with tonight's pepper.
I had pizza pi with pepperoni, sausage, onion, red bell pepper and mushrooms.
Your pie sounds good, Mike.
I'll be making a pizza pie for dinner.
On Saturday I made a stir fry with leftover roast beef, red bell pepper, carrots, celery, broccoli and mushrooms and had it over noodles.
I made roasted salmon, fettuccini with broccoli and carrots.
I made a small roast beef yesterday. I had a roast beef sandwich and broccoli for dinner tonight.
Yesterday for dinner I made chicken veggie soup and a hamburger.
Also, I made chicken stock from the remains of two roasted chickens that I had in the freezer. It yielded a little less than 2 quarts. I have it portioned and in the freezer now.
I have some large shells (pasta) that have been taking up space since before the pandemic so I thought I would make stuffed shells. I used Ricotta with a little mozzarella and seasoned it with a little oregano and garlic and a generous amount of dried parsley. I made a simple sauce from a can of tomatoes. It turned out good, I have leftovers for tonight.
I'm a couple of days late but Happy Birthday Joan! Glad you had a great day.
On Tuesday I made a couple of pork chops in Mole sauce (from a jar). Had brown rice and broccoli with it. I have a leftover chop for tonight. Haven't decided on the sides yet. Yesterday I made fettuccini with broccoli and shrimp, seasoned with sesame seed oil and soy sauce.
