2 floors - about 3000 sq feet - issue is they brought the fiber connection into the furthest point in the house away from living room and master and upstairs bed rooms 0 thiinking running cat5 is going to be best option

Internet WiFi mesh or extender?

Need help with effectively extending strong WiFi signal thru the house - have att 1000 fiber but getting terrible speeds across house
Very helpful - Yes, my kids are adults pre-grandchildren for me so we decided to do something different and explore - this is very helpful! Thank you!
Looking at taking family to Europe for the Holidays and started researching great locations and Christmas Markets keep popping up

Has anyone done Christmas in Prague, Munich, etc? Any advice or recommendations as starting blind
yes - make the roux, then add the trinity - One thing could be to reduce the water/broth too
Thank you

Would you go with a 1:1.25 of oil:Flour ratio?

Love making gumbo and love making roux - kind of a like a rite of passage

But I love going to restaurants that have a really dark and thick roux

I can get my roux to a dark chocolate color but when i add the trinity/roux to the boiling water and chicken stock, it always seems to lighten up and thin out

It tastes great, but other than adding a corn starch slurry, how do you darken and thicken the roux?

I use either bacon fat or veg oil for the fat and a 1:1 ratio with flour

Just finished Line of Duty on Amazon Prime and Brit Box. What a great show and story telling.

I am sure it has been discussed here but search showed nothing so I apologize if already been picked apart

Having gone to the Cliffs, they are impressive. But you may be there an hour - but at least you see them, right?

Just returned from a 10 day golf and sightseeing trip

We didn't do Belfast and that sounds like a great trip to go see.

I would try to see the Cork region and the harbors of Kinsale - beautiful and you can go see the Lusitania museum - I would so see Kilarnney

In Dublin, i would highly recommend the Guinness museum and distillery - I am not a fan of the beer, but it is well done -

We had dinner one night in Dublin at Sol Seafood (excellent) and then Tomahawk (phenomenal)

That’s where we booked too - how much did you stay on resort or travel to other beaches?
Do you have a tankless water heater?

We had the same thing and come to find out, the inflow for the water heater needed a regulator on it and shut off the hot water flow to the multiple head showers if the flow was too strong

That seems to be a concern to getting there

Worth overcoming that? Best areas to stay? Hotel?

St Barts

I know there are a ton of great Caribbean options but been recommended to St Barts - so just wanted to hear those who have been best places to stay? Is it really worth it over other locations?
