That is true, which is why so many home cooks wind up using the burner
from an outdoor turkey fryer as their heat source.

One of our pleasant discoveries upon moving to Florida is a Pei Wei
Asian Diner located a mile or so from our tennis club. (If you don't
know it, Pei Wei is owned by P.F. Chang.) Their rice bowls and other
dishes are first-rate. We eat there regularly, at least once a week. In
particular, the Pei Wei Spicy and Sesame sauced dishes are terrific.

But my point in mentioning them is that they have a tiny counter, with
only four seats, right next to the small open "kitchen." The "kitchen"
has a cold station, and three hot stations, each with two woks. The wok
burners are spectacular -- they must be at least 100Kbtu each, with
flames shooting up about a foot whenever the wok is removed.

Dishes are cranked out in around 90 seconds each; cleaning is done by
sloshing a ladle or two of water from a huge stock pot behind the hot
station for about two seconds, and dumping. It's a great show!

I would love to get my hands on one of their woks, just to closely
examine the built-up finish.

Their Web site says they have 190 locations. If there's one near you, I
highly recommend trying it.

Gorgeous German engineering as always - but no specific BTU mention.

I'd be loathe to throw that into commercial use at any cost.

Still it's far cheaper than the one I linked to.

Avoid cutting yourself when slicing vegetables by getting someone else to hold them.

I got my blood-builder shot this morning and a shot of B-12 to boost
energy so I took myself shopping and brought a magnet with me. Got a
large skillet and a small skillet and a medium pot. Thought I was
buying a small pot at BB&B. It wasn't in a box. She went and found one
in a box, but when I got home it was a double boiler which I did not
want. Have to take it back.

Also went to Bealls and with a 25% off coupon bought myself a couple of
cute tops and a pair of cargo capris in a color I was missing. Then I
went to Ross, where I found a pot (others were at Marshall's) and bought
myself 2 dresses with the Tuesday geezer discount. I think one might be
good for the reunion. The other will probably sail with me to Europe in
November.

Also got a big bag of dog food. I never fed the dog, it was Barry's
job, so I didn't know how fast it got used up. Mickey eats his fill and
leaves the rest, so I mostly feed him the kibble once a day, but he
takes a bigger scoop than I'd have thought. He's still at a good
weight, so I'm not worried. Got $5 off the bag with coupon Sherpa on my
smartphone. If you haven't tried this free app, you should. All kinds
of store coupons.

Also went to Sam's and got steaks to freeze. OMG meat has gotten so
expensive! I bought 3 rib eyes, each good for two meals for me and they
were $30!

Found that they finally carried my favorite breakfast cereal and got
some of those and they had a good deal on canned, Alaska pink salmon. I
am making salmon croquettes and spaghetti, a favorite comfort meal,
tonight. I used the self-checkout for my 3 items and was out in a flash.

The salmon is a good source of calcium, especially when I mash in the
bones. I am on steroids, so I need a lot of extra calcium.

Came home and made two chili dogs for lunch and had my daily bowl of
tapioca pudding with mango, papaya and blueberries (washed n vinegar
water and rinsed) with a little home made, extra-thick whipped cream.

I may be ready for a nap.

Tomorrow is my birthday so I got me some presents. The washing machine
repair man is due at 11 AM and the water softener repair man is due at 1
PM. I'm thinking of getting a little Dairy Queen cake and celebrating
with the repair men. :-)

We have used the self-checkout at Sam's, even though George dislikes
them. The receipt gives you a count, and we counted our items and we
could not get our numbers to much. We forgot that we got a soft drink,
and we were not counting that. Mystery solved. On another occasion, we
did the self-checkout and we were on our way to the car, when we
wondered if we scanned the case of toilet paper in the bottom of the
basket - nope, it was not on the receipt, so back we went. George
pulled into the regular check out line, this time. I may never get him
to self check, again. :-)

Hope you have a delightful birthday.

Here's a link to a commercial induction wok burner:
http://www.cooktek.com/product/cooki...ok-5kw-3-phase

Not something you'd use in a home setting, but neither are the ones you linked. It does list a "BTU equivalent" but you need to remember that induction burners put over 90% of the heat into the pan, and gas burners are rated for BTU "input" not actual output.

Induction is used to smelt ore. You can certainly get enough heat from induction if it can be used to melt metals. It's mostly a question of how much electrical capacity you have.

"44,000 BTU equivalent"

The gas woks go up to 125K BTUs!

I also question if you have the foot control pedal utility a gas wok does.

You can take one up to sear or down to simmer in seconds.

Good link, thanks.

Have you heard about the Jersey girl who took her team to the Little

That's what I thought too, but I was wrong about where she's from.
She's from Philadelphia. I don't ever call it "Philly", so I
misremembered it as Jersey. Sorry.

Apparently she plays basketball with the boys... and she good at it
too.

Have a happy birthday!

Trip Advisor has one in Glasgow called "Al's American Diner".
Apparently a full bar was added recently, so they've changed the name
to Al's Bar & Diner. Unfortunately, reviews are "mixed" at best.
None are by Americans, so I have no idea what an American thinks about
their food/service.
http://www.tripadvisor.com/Restauran..._Scotland.html

Maybe you'll be able to Google a menu. I found
http://www.alsdinerglasgow.co.uk/ via yelp, but I guess they've
changed their url because it didn't work for me. It's odd that they
don't have a working website, but I found a phone number via Urban
Spoon. Maybe that has changed too, but this is what I found
Als American Dinner
(0141) 258 2503

NY American Grill Bar http://www.nyamericangrill.co.uk/
had better reviews, not great - better.
http://www.tripadvisor.com/Restauran..._Scotland.html
I would definitely try either their coconut shrimp or crispy calamari
appetizer. Portions are huge over here, so Americans usually share an
appetizer or order one as their main. I'll show you an example of
what I mean. This is an appetizer plate of fried calamari and
artichokes - we'd already eaten part of it! $12
http://imgur.com/KSfjQal

In any case, one of the Al's reviewers mentioned two more American
style restaurants in Glasgow (TriBeCa and Charlie Rocks) + down at the
bottom of the page are other American style restaurants (Google will
probably find even more for you). I'd check out some reviews first
and pick one that is better liked by the locals than Al's is though.

Ahhh that must be it! I hadn't noticed the 'Al' bit. I have only seen it
driving past and have never stopped to see

That has put me off a bit At least they have the right place to the one
I have seen - very near Strathclyde uni. We don't go into Glasgow very
often so when we had reason to go in on Monday, we decided to go and check
it out. The front of it looks very American full of stars etc

I expect we will go anyway and take some pics if I can

Thanks very much for all that help! That is very kind. I am not bothered
about the other restaurants, I was just wanting to try that one because it
was an 'American diner'. Anyway, I will report back on Monday all being
well

Thanks again

Oh, semi-famous comic strip from Glasgow back in the day:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bud_Neill

Bud Neill (1911–1970) was a Scottish cartoonist who drew cartoon strips
for a number of Glasgow based newspapers between the 1940s and 1960s.
Following his death, his work has attained cult status with a worldwide
following.

Quite the surprise to see a Scott drawing a strip about our old west.

I've never heard of Bud Neal before. He's got quite a progressive style. The comics have the look of a post 70s strip. Kind of too wordy for Americans though. Either folks in the UK got good eyes or their strips are larger than ours. Thanks!

As a yank I've no reason to know of it, but for the friendship of an
older Scott who moved here.

If you can find the strips online (I can't any more0 they're quite
inventive.

The strips were rich in detail, so your observation is correct.

I did! My friends took me to the Country Club for dinner on the patio.
We had some nachos, spring rolls and guacamole as starters and I
shared a Chilean Sea Bass dish with asparagus and spinach with my friend.

I even got up and danced a little.

Drank decaf coffee on the rocks.

The washer is fixed. It took the 4 hours. I did get my pajama top
back. The water softener is trash. I called Culligan and I'm going to
rent one from them. No sense paying $1500 for a new one when I don't
know how long Ill be here. I have my RO with Culligan and their service
is wonderful.
