You know, the hardest part about cooking or barbecuing meat, tethered to a hot stove or barbecue,

sweating, constantly checking it, singeing your eyebrows, and then serving it, and half is beef jerky

and half is blood rare. Those days are gone. I got a Chef IQ Sense, and I'm ready for the food network.

It's kind of like a meat thermometer, but wireless and way smarter. I just enter

whatever I'm cooking into my Chef IQ Sense app, steaks, chicken, fish, whatever. Choose precisely how

I like it cooked. Well done, medium, medium, rare, rare. Chef IQ Sense continuously monitors and

predicts precisely when my food will be done. No opening a hot oven, sweating over a barbecue, frying

pan, or air friar. Then, Chef IQ Sense sends an alert to my smartphone when my steaks,

chicken, or seafood are cooked to order the way I like it. This is the world's smartest,

simple to use, wireless cooking sensor, and the best news is they just announced a flash sale.

refused to consider legislation funding aid to the people stricken by the recent disastrous climate

change-fueled floods until after the state had been more severely gerrymandered. Because of mass of FEMA cuts, those people

are pretty desperate. Calling his bluff yesterday, Democrats fled the state to Illinois, where
