I find out that several other people in here like the same (or similar things) and I am reasonably sure when they recommend something that I will like it. The reverese is true as well, if I hate something someone else is going on about how great it is I will listen to thier advice with much skepticism. And that is precisely what makes challenges like this one so much fun. The major players may agree and disagree about certain parts/brands/styles/recipes, but those following along at home can learn much at the same time by both our agreements and our disagreements. Ojaitimo, tell us about the Grand you found. I know it is outside the 'norm,' but being orange-based what better place to chat it up. Now..... if we can just get Hanford to put that VTT mod in place this would be much more entertaining.... :wink:
