I’m making calzones from leftover pizza dough and leftover roasted vegetables and assorted other delicious items that need using.
I’ll probably also have an adequate glass of red wine from a box. (Also, what Bordeaux did you have last night, DblEagle?)
What did/are you doing for dinner tonight?
(Or for Pie when he rolls in, breakfast. And the Japanese contingent, lunch.)
Same as every day, bison steak, baked potato, greenbeans
Hey, congratulations on hitting 1/3 of your goal! That’s amazing!!
Thanks, sorry to have been so whingy about it yesterday.
Oh, no worries. I completely get it. It’s sometimes difficult to change one’s life completely.

Sent that to my gf.
Looks good.

Yeah, that’s a good site too.

That’s new to me. Bookmarked.
OK, that looks outstanding
Awesome!
Had leftover steak and turned it into a steak salad (lettuce, cuke, celery, tomatoes from our garden, olives, marinated mushrooms, grated cheddar, Oak Hill Farms vidalia vinaigrette). And a starter/side of Costco shrimpers.
Yum! Except the shrimp, to which I am allergic. (Factoid for those compiling an SP dossier.)
I dated a woman (pre Mrs JI and post ex) and we were out in Annapolis and of course we went to a seafood restaurant (her choice) when she casually mentions she might have a bad reaction to shellfish. Oh, okay…
Hah, I took a friend to a KC BBQ restaurant one time. After we got there, she said to me she was vegetarian. I kind of looked at her and she said she thought they would have salads. I laughed. She ended up ordering about 4 side salads.
Cole slaw.
And pasta salad.
My dad is allergic to seafood, too, which is why I never got to have it growing up. And why I usually get the fish dish when I go to a restaurant.
I’ll put that down on the spreadsheet
Nice!
I’ll skip the sea bugs though.
More for us! 🙂
your mom
Dude, she’s been dead 6 years. Well, I guess Rule 34 and all.
Meatloaf and a cheap carménère.
That also sounds good. I love meatloaf.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=srEe6K34DVo
a cheap carménère
Chilean I assume. I don’t think I’ve been disappointed in one of those yet.
Yeah.
And I’ve got a cheap Argentine Malbec in my wine rack.
I had tuna and crackers, earlier.
And! Woohoo! I just sold a set of wheels to a guy. Ten bucks is ten bucks. Craigslist actually works, sometimes.
Now I’m going to sit outside in the pall and have some Rolling Rocks for dessert.
Sounds like a balanced meal.

I used urbandictionary.
Orange chicken I just dumped a bunch of sesame seeds on.
I only like orange chicken if it isn’t too sweet. Which used to mean making it myself, way back before meeting OMWC.
Frozen pizza. Long day, got home late and too tired to cook.
Nothing wrong with frozen pizza. Unless it had forbidden ingredients, in which case, it wasn’t really pizza.
Cheese tortellini in cream sauce with pancetta. My wife said it was too much pancetta. I said that’s nonsense. There were no peas though, so I was almost sad.
Plus there was store bought cheesy garlic bread. Forgot that.
That also sounds great.
I make a dish of gnocchi, pancetta, asparagus, and baby bella mushrooms. I haven’t finished it with cream, but I probably should try that.
I pulled something out of the freezer, which is sort of unusual for me.
It was leftovers from something I made months ago.
50/50 ground sausage and ground beef, seasoned with taco seasoning, and sliced habanero added. Topped with Mexican blend cheese.
Ketolicious.
What kind of sausage?
House ground sausage from https://www.fredericksmeats.com
Breakfast for us, SP. Pie is most likely asleep.
Coffee and ?. Not healthy, but the plate of seaweed I’m having for lunch should make up for it.
I was trying to acknowledge that this would be the last post before the morning links. Ah, well.
I was just worried I overslept.
Go for the natto!
This but cut into small pieces and with a fried shredded potato and sour cream side.
And this with vodka.
TV dinner?
Every dinner is a TV dinner in my house.
I LOVE sauerbraten!
You have good taste. ?
So you’re a sauerbraterian?
I can’t recommend these guys enough. Everything from them is top-notch.
Leftover spaghetti with ground beef and barbecue sauce.
In Japanese there are a certain group of adjectives that end “I”. In conversation and when you are startled or surprised it’s common to drop the “I”. The most common one I know of is “itai” which means pain. So you say “ita” out loud when hurt yourself.
It never occurred to me you could get yourself in trouble speaking Japanese the same way that poor professor at USC did speaking Japanese. The word for a bitter taste in Japanese is “nigai”.
https://youtu.be/tTc2lztLd-o
So somebody needs to explain to this 16 year old girl that I’ve been triggered and need counseling.
That young people way of speaking is annoying AF. Especially when they say “Yabbei” instead of “Yabai”. It’d be like instead of saying “Holy Shit!” you say “Ho Shi!”
That’s how the French do it.
More proof that it is wrong.
The French are good at waste products. The can do some amazing things with bacteria and yeast wastes.
“A fine French cheese must offend at least two of the senses.”
It started with kind of a low class guy speak and has now moved to women.
I’m both old and fluent enough that it annoys me too.
I’ve yet to meet a native Japanese that can use “fuck” correctly.
I always chuckle internally as the odds of them pronouncing the final “k” sound properly are already low.
ファ9。
Nice…
Context or pronounciation
Con fucking text.
The first time I went to China I was warned by our Malaysian sales manager about the notorious filler word…
The Chinese word equivalent to our “Uhmmm” is niga (nee-ga).
I know lots of Chinese words, unfortunately most of them are swear words or anatomical words.*
*taught by itinerant Chinese brick layers who thought it was hilarious
Yup. That’s how that professor got tossed under a bus. Of all the recent shit that really boiled my blood.
I have been to Japan 3 times now, and my employer has recently been purchased by a Japanese company. I’ll be traveling there 1-3 times per year once this virus nonsense is over.
1. Best way to quickly learn the language?
2. I love Japan but could never live there (need my guns!)
3. When are you supposed to drop the “u”?
1. No shortcuts. Whatever works for you is best.
https://www.glibertarians.com/2018/12/learning-another-language-as-an-adult/
2. The whole Japanese way of doing business precludes me from working in Japan. And I say this as somebody who worked on Wall St…
3. The final “u” sound? It isn’t so much omitted as it is pitched way down. So “desu” sound like “dess” to an English speaker, but it is still just barely there.
I could tell some stories about QA/QC issues…suffice to say, that numbers and statistics don’t necessarily mean as much as business relationships in Japan, as far as I can tell (going back 10 years now).
1. That’s as frustrating as the advice I give to new pistol shooters. But actually, whatever handgun you can shoot the best is the best gun to shoot (for you). There are some fundamentals that are inviolate, but a lot of it comes down to physiology, as I imagine much of languages comes down to psychology. It takes practice, and whatever makes practice fun and results forthcoming, works. I guess I deserve that.
There’s also language schools in Japan with classes as short as a single week. Take an extra vacation week or see if your boss will sponsor you.
The biggest challenge, imho, is be confident enough to start speaking, even if it’s terrible and limited, because otherwise many interactions will default to English. Once you get over that hump, it gets easier.
1. If you’re single we can probably find a personal instructor who can inspire you to learn the language. It worked for me but I was 19 when I started.
2. Feeling your pain. I was getting by with frequent enough trips home spliced in with being the unit armorer for my Army Reserve unit here – until I retired from the Army a couple years ago. Now I can’t even go back to the US until this pan(dem)ic cools off a bit.
3. Sensei pretty well covered that – except to mention that is for the “U” following an “S”. And, when it follows the “S” just before a “K” it is pretty much silent – as in “Yokosuka” while most sailors pronounce “Yokuuska” when it should be more like “Yokoska”
Not single, but I learned a long time ago that the best way to learn a new language is by talking to a beautiful woman (Heinlein was right!)
My favorite word for demonstrating your third point is pronouncing Asakusa.
2. Space A may be still restricted, but you can now leave and return as a permanent resident as long as you fill out the paperwork before leaving and have a negative test just prior to departure to Japan (plus test/quarantine/public transportation limitations on arrival).
Part of my problem is the location where most of my equipment is is a city which has severe quarantine restrictions. I don’t know how those are enforced – wouldn’t be too big a problem if I can go out to grab a to-go meal as well as get to where my stuff is stored. I could get a lot done on a number of unfinished projects which need to happen before too long. But if they’re really making people hole-up in a hotel and checking on them it could be a big waste of time for me.
Well crap.
Warming some ribs, salad, and some bread I baked today. And cheap wine cuz I occasionally live down to the stereotype of Suburban Wine Mom.
And I’m making broth out of my chicken carcass, too, for later.
It’s only a stereotype if you’re drinking sweet shit like moscato or white zin.
In the more upscale suburbs, Rombauer Chardonnay (“Cougar Crack”), essentially an equivalent to Kendall-Jackson at triple the price.
I get BOGO wine from Publix. So far, I still have my vision.
You, me, some cheese and crackies, a box of Franzia and all three seasons of Yellowstone, how about it?
Skip the cheese and the commercials, and you got a deal.
Bacon cheese burger from the air fryer, giant home grown salad and watermelon. Few locals grow watermelon, I harvested about 60, biggest was 18 lbs. I gave away maybe 40, I’ve been eating watermelon X2 a day for at least 3 weeks, another week/10 days to go. Mrs F has begun asking for smaller pieces. When it’s gone it’ll be another year, I don’t buy any, I’m a cheap guy…
That’s a lot of watermelon.
It’s the only way I can keep friends, well that and tomatoes
chili, new recipe from a cookbook my wife is working through.
Steak.
And more steak.
Calzones from leftover pizza dough and leftover roasted vegetables and assorted other delicious items that need using.

BLM has commercials during hockey playoffs now. Stop the world, I want off.
At least the Islanders have one foot out the door already.
#BlueLinesMatter
As a hockey player I got a chuckle out of that
just saw that.
it is my white privilege to breathe.
Dr. Girlfriend is a big hockey fan. When she watches now, it’s on a stream with no commercials. I wonder what her response would be to seeing the commercials.
I had a monster deli sandwich with about a pound of Boar’s Head roast beef and double cheese. It kind of pissed me off, though, because I asked for sourdough and they made it on rye. Still good, but not the same. I get double meat and double cheese, with just lettuce, tomato and mustard. All of that AND a bag of jalapeno chips.
I didn’t really have dinner. I had a very late lunch of leftover lemon garlic chicken, broccoli, and rice. Then I recently ate two turkey hot dogs with mustard and india relish on rye bread. I haven’t been able to find whole wheat hot dog buns since March.
“Then I recently ate two turkey hot dogs with mustard and india relish on rye bread.”
And you people think I am a sick weirdo.
” I haven’t been able to find whole wheat hot dog buns since March.”
Oh my God.
‘And you people think I am a sick weirdo’
Why not both?.
No use of “infused” “pulled” or “baby”. You guys suck. My ? was infused with gluten.
Points off for not saying “reduction”
Is that when you burn your Ragu?
I was raised by wops, I don’t know what Ragu is! Some form of pre-made gravy, I assume.
Italian-Americans call it “meat sauce”.
We have two kinds of Italians around here. I imagine that they all came from different regions of Italy, but depending on what town they live in in this area, they have very different ideas of what constitutes true “Italian” sauce.
Country and western?
Ragu is what they call Bolognese meat sauce in Bolognese.
That too.
In my family, they called it gravy. If it had meat, it was bolognese, but all sauce was called gravy. They were Sicilians.
That reminds me of the scene when the Soprano crew goes to Sicily, and Pauly Walnuts asks for gravy.
That scene reminded me of my grandpa. As does every scene where the whole family argues over how the food gets cooked. Also the scene where the guys in jail and he’s using a razor to slice garlic. I think that was good fellas. My grandfather took about twelve hours to make lasagna. There were no shortcuts, anywhere. Eggs, flour, tomatoes, beef, 5 kinds of cheese, about 6-8 times more garlic than everyone else. I ate good as a kid. He ground up the meat, pressed the pasta, brewed the sauce, all from the most basic materials.
Plain ol baked chicken tonight. Everything else is frozen. Ill be pulling that brisket out soon though to smoke.
I had hospital grade chicken noodle soup and a side salad with a grapefruit bubbly. I will be drink a martini, Rye or Rum when I get home. Maybe all three.
Speaking of white mom meals…
Hospital grade? Yummy.
I was surprised that they had put curry in the soup. But hey, you get what you pay for, right.
You, me, some cheese and crackies, a box of Franzia and all three seasons of Yellowstone, how about it?
Sure, why not?

Hey bartender! What times is it?
When yo mouth is gettin’ dry
You pretty high
I only got hospital grade broth in the hospital and I still threw it all up.
I hope your experience was better.
Sorry to hear. I’ve been eating hospital food for so many years I’ve developed a tolerance, like one with Iocaine.
The only times I have eaten hospital food, loved ones have died. Not generally a fan.
At least the salmon was pretty good, after I got my stomach pumped.
Hospital grade = yellow water.
I recently purchased 1/6 of a steer. Looking for brisket smoking recipes/methods. Since this will be my first, I may try a store bought cut first so as to save this beef. The other cuts have been amazing. Even the ground beef has a flavor I have never tasted out of a grocery store.
Yeah buy some cuts first. You plan on doing a whole packer or splitting up the point and flat? Im jealous of your 1/6th
It’s in my freezer RIGHT NOW
I’ll have to read up on my meat terminology, apparently.
If you don’t own a Traeger – buy one. You may not make an Aaron Franklin quality brisket, but it will be hard to ruin it.
I have a friend who has one. Maybe I can borrow it.
Overpriced crap, get a Weber, anything you can do with a Traeger you can do with a Weber, except the “Bluetooth take a walk while your shit’s cooking and still check it’s temp” but who in the fuck does that, the entire reason for BBQ is so one can stand next to ones’s grill drink beer and act like one is cookin’, If your goddamn grill does all that what in the hell is the point!
My grill will sure as fuck not drink my beer.
Webers are nice, but they aren’t smokers. Brisket should be smoked. If we’re going to fight about this, I’ll go all purist on stick-burning smokers.
I smoke on my Weber all the time, last night in fact, yeah it’s not a “cold” smoker with two chambers but neither are the Traegers I’ve seen, what exactly makes a Traeger a smoker and a Weber not a smoker? The Traegers slowly feed the fire with wood pellets but I can do the same thing on my Weber, may be more ‘hands-on’ but that just you cooking.
I personally don’t want to be checking a fire every 20 minutes, for 8 to 10 or more hours. That’s what makes a Traeger worth the money (although maybe I’m out of date – I bought mine 8, maybe 9 years ago). Not cheap, but also not as expensive as some other pellet burners. I also have a Char-griller gas/charcoal grill – gas for when I want quick heat or charcoal when I want to do a classic grilling. Next thing I want for outdoor cooking is a Blackstone.
Different tools for different jobs.
I’d expect someone as purist about cooking as you to have made a grill from cut in half 55 gal. drums for smoking brisket.
8-9 years ago would have been after they started manufacturing in China but before they sold out to the current owner/CEO/asshole. Fuck Traeger. I won’t give them a cent.
Using the snake method, I can go 3-5 hours without checking it. Takes some calibration, but you can get consistent temperatures even at the lower end.
I finish my briskets and pork butts on a 30 year old Brinkman with hickory chunks or one of the others (propane or electric) if I am lazy. Hype is right on this point. While I would love to be able to afford a Treager I wouldn’t if I could because I don’t see the point of buying another smoker when I have three (if you count the weber grill) especially one at that price point.
the only thing (besides the manual temperature control) that makes the Weber inferior is capacity. It’s fine for family dinner, but is way over its head if we smoke food in preparation for having people over.
Your welcome.
https://www.thermoworks.com/smokex
My welcome what?
I’m sure if you offer some brisket in return.
Last one I did was classic/simple – more salt than I would put on anything else and pepper. 10 lb’er (flat) went about 8 hours @ 250. Internal temp was 203, wrapped and rested for over 3 hours (had planned 2, but we were delayed – it wasn’t a problem at all). When you check for IT, do so in the flat – otherwise you may overcook that.
Sous vide is your friend when doing a brisket. https://www.seriouseats.com/recipes/2016/08/sous-vide-barbecue-smoked-bbq-brisket-texas-recipe.html
I have my own rub I use because when a schlep has been working on his own rub for 30 years he uses his own rub.
For lunch at work I had leftovers from last nights dinner. Asian chicken tacos with grated parm (seems to be an asiago shortage around these parts) spicy mayo sauce and an Asian sort of slaw. The chicken was grilled thighs after marinating in soy, oyster sauce, ginger, lots of basil and a bunch of red pepper flakes. Chopped up into taco style filling. The sauce = mayo, siracha, a bit of wasabi, soy sauce, and some sesame oil. The slaw= cabbage, chopped cilantro, rice vin, splash of soy, sesame oil and celery seed. Serve on fried corn tortillas. My favorite tacos. When I appropriate I like to go for multiple cultures.
I had a Klondike ice cream sandwich, and 23 beers.
Nice.
there’s a >strike< in there
So, one short of a case. Saving 1 for breakfast, you’ll need a second for dessert, however.
I once drank half a case of Dogfish Head “Beer for Breakfast Stout” in a hot tub. It has Scrapple in it. I can’t even look at it anymore.
The beer, or the hot tub?
The beer. The hot tub is somewhere on the slopes of Timberline.
That sounds awful.
A beer with Scrapple in it? And I missed it? Dammit.
I still have a few bottles if you want to try it.
YES! I would love to try it.
I’ve never seen that Dogfish Head beer up here.
You’re out by Pittsburgh? Probably better to ship it to me since I won’t be down that way for a while. One of the powers that be can get you my e-mail address.
Thank you!
They still make it, but if you want some 4-year-old beer, I’ll be glad to get if off my hands.
Four years old? How did you store it?
It’s in the fridge. I’m sure it’s still awful. But now I’m strangely curious, since it seemed good when I was drinking it the first time.
Oh, yes, I have like 6 refrigerators, so, old beer tends to accumulate around here.
It’s probably still good. I’ll take some.
Thanks!
Mrs. McGinty and I had Outback carryout after hitting balls at the driving range.

White label?
Yep. I did drink two beers this afternoon. That was lunch.
Based on the White Label I am guessing…some local trash beer…I think you are a west coast person, or at least were….so…Rainier? Or did you just go Busch Light as usual?
I’m in Denver, CO. I just counted a coupke million Christmas lights. Had some time to kill and went to Peak View Brewing on the way to the airport. Drank two if the Grapefruit IPA’s. It was good. Can’t wait to get back home. Been on the road for 10 days.
Yes life on the road gets old quick. Good luck out there.

It was awful. I should have planned ahead.
That really sounds disgusting. I think I’d rather eat those things separately.
It was not a culinary success.
Seriously? It’s an artisinal multicultural burrito with haunting notes of nitrite and garlic, complemented by delicate dairy overtones.

In that case I have a TV breakfast

Pshaw, I do this all the time, usually when I log in, go to the old thread to see if anyone responded to something I said before going to bed, then forget it’s an old thread and reply! Bonus points if you post something good, that no one will ever read.
I do a lot of that. It’s really unfulfilling.

@ComicDaveSmith
The most noble thing a man can do is be a great father. Love, protect and provide for your children. You’re basically a boy until you have kids. If you have kids and don’t take care of them, you are a bitch, not a man.
I like Dave Smith, and I have a been a Skank for a minute, but this is so douchey.
Well, traditionally, men did not take care of children. That was not a thing when I was growing up. Men went off to work to earn a living and when work was over they went to the bar and got drunk. On weekends, men mowed the lawn, watched sports, and went to the bar to get drunk. Like men are supposed to.
I mean if Dave Smith is into that stuff, NAWTT, but don’t tell the rest of us what we should do, Mr. Mum.
nor did women with money. They hired people.
Two spring rolls, some gyoza, and a Bang Miami Cola. Leftovers from lunch.
You had leftover gyoza? How many did you start with?
Well, not really left over left over. I got lunch delivered today (my truck was in the shop) so I ordered a bunch of extra appetizers to pad out the Grubhub minimum delivery charge.
Technically speaking, all fried Gyoza is – by original Chinese standards – leftovers. It is supposed to be steamed. Anything that wasn’t eaten after that is fried. But the Japanese just skip the first steam step and go direct to frying it up.
If you don’t have that first round of eating, they’re not leftovers.
I did not know this. But now I do!
The missus made a nice turkey breast with some steamed baby potatoes and garlic bread.
About to have a hamburger and a hot dog. Leftovers.
First, gotta take the dog for a walk.
Stomach needs a little time to settle from workout at the gym. Thank GOD there were no masks anywhere in sight. Felt…normal.
Like Straff, I had breakfast too. Today was a half a Bratwurst, chopped up and fried like loose hamburger, then rolled in with some Colby Jack cheese into a three egg omelet. A small piece of a thick slice of toasted homemade whole wheat bread. Coffee was fresh ground French roast with a dash of Kona Chocolate Macadamia thrown in for a little kick.
Wheat bread is gay.
“Loose hamburger”. Did Winston’s Mom make you breakfast?
So was your dad but your mom isn’t choosy so here you are. Life’s weird that way.

Wifey cooked up a big old pot of… ox tail. WTF? Are people really supposed to eat that? She put some taters, carrots, garlic, and herbs to entice me into eating it. Pretty good actually. Made me feel like riding across the Mongolian plain with my hoards and slaying whoever.
You don’t take your hoards with you. You leave them at home in your vaults. You get the hoards when you go pillaging with your hordes.
And when you’ve whored, you DON’T take that home with you.
Of course! Because if you do the horde who whored will take your hoard.
I love oxtail stew. Cuban style
Oxtail is good stuff. Wifey is fussy about certain cuts and meats so none for me.

Meatloaf, and its great because I personally raised the cow the cow whose hammer im eating.
What a mess,
Meatloaf, and its great because I personally raised the cow whose meat I’m eating.
Lo siento
Thank god you’re not eating its hammer.
I made chicken with broccoli in a cream smoked sauce and a fried rice with onions, garlic, red & yellow peppers, scallions, tomato’s, and sweet peas with Asiago cheese. My girl now wants to love me long time for that dinner and it was a easy make.

I bought my first ever charcoal grill on Saturday. I’ve cooked at least one meal a day on it since.
Tonight was jerk chicken thighs with grilled kohlrabi.
Still need to figure out how to get crispy skin, but the flavour was awesome.
If you got a Weber then you need a Vortex for it. You can either buy one or make your own – I use a stainless steel mixing bowl and cut the bottom off with a disc grinder. That gives you an even temperature in the outer ring for cooking and an almost afterburner hot inner center to do the final sear.
I have a slow n sear that does the same thing. it splits the zones left and right, though.
That sounds great. I’ll take a look.
One additional benefit of using the Vortex – you only use about 1/3 of the charcoal you would usually need if you cook without it.
I assume you also have a charcoal chimney? If not, get one, a thousand times better than using lighter fluid.
I got one of these :

It is fantastic.
Ohh , that looks nice.
If I may make a recommendation for your next grill. Make some chimichurri for that next chicken or steak. Any variation of this if you haven’t done it before.
http://www.eatingwell.com/recipe/280153/easy-chimichurri-sauce/
Cool beans. The wife likes chimichurri. Looks like that’s what we’re doing Friday.
Jerk chicken usually doesn’t have skin on it.
For a brand new to grilling, recommend Weber’s Big Book of Grilling as a foundation. Unfortunately I think it’s gone out of print
My favorite chicken recipe, but lots of other good content.

And if you want to step into the crazy side of the pool, this site is good for finding ways to spend far too money on extra stuff. But also has good content too. Smoking for instance. I like the snake method.

Awesome. Thanks!
I have never grilled kohlrabi. I usually eat it raw.
Tell me more.
All you people with your free time to cook these fancy meals. I had the fine cuisine known as Chick Fil A.
My chicken is from HyVee.
Put a pork shoulder in the oven at very low before I left for work. Wife turned it on a 1p,m. Orange juice, worstershire, chicken stock, bay leaf, garlic and coriander, s&p. Let it simmer for five hours then pulled it apart and blasted it under the high broiler for five minutes to crisp it up, salted it again. Corn and flour tortillas, fresh made pico de Gallo with serranos, avocado and sour cream. Kids and wife loved it. Now they get half hour of video games before story time and then bed. Dad is gonna roll up a nice spliff at that point with fine Virginia tobacco and friend grown sinsemilla.
Yeah dude.
Cheers EG. Rocking this tune.

Leftover veal marsala from the other night. I was going to have poke but my local Tamura’s is closed because an employee came down with the VID. The sign said they’d reopen by Thursday.
Since I was inspired from the previous post I just made a mojito to tide me over until dinner.
I am 52, and I was today (5 minutes ago) old when I noticed that I have no hair on the outside of my lower legs. It is an almost straight line down my shin bones, hair on the inner side, none on the outer. Odd
I’m 51 and I have a full complement down there. Maybe see a doctor 🙂
By the way, you know, I sit on the stand, and it get hot. I got a lot, I got hairy legs that turn blonde in the sun, and the kids used to come up and reach in the pool and rub my leg down so it was straight and then watch the hair come back up again. They’d look at it.
that is a rather confusing euphemism
TMI, fat.
GAY
You have my vote.
Yes. Unnatural. Sitting in my shorts at home, I’ve just double-checked my legs are uniformly hairy. And I’m not even that hairy.
This seemed apropos.
huh
I have big legs. When I was a kid and wore jeans, I had no hair on the outside of my calves.
I’m 33 from a family of good hair.

According to WebMD, you have shin cancer. Good luck with that, dude.
I’m pretty sure that means you like cock. You’re gay.
My spouse lost the hair on his lower calves from his dress socks over the years. If this is a new thing w no obvious rubbing culprit, you should see a doc.

It is a legit travesty that Oasis’ heavier stuff never got any real airplay.
Fish sticks with lemon juice because it’s Tuesday, homegrown Roma tomatoes with fresh ground black pepper because we’re getting overrun with tomatoes and the neighbors are starting to run away when they see Tom T coming holding a container, and one of these because I went swimming today, so I burned off the calories anyway.
Your neighbours run away when you’re trying to gift them fresh tomatoes?
Those people are twisted and broken.
Only because we’re overrunning them, too.
They’re quite tasty. (The tomatoes – not our neighbors. Well, the neighbors might be tasty, too, but I couldn’t say.) We bought a bunch of cottage cheese to eat with the ‘maters but I’m finding I like them all by their lonesomes.
Okay, so the phrase “over-run with tomatoes” is just nonsensical to my ears. That’s why God invented the food mill and the process of simmering.
You came over to my place with gobs of tomatoes and I’d be makin’ sauce like there was no tomorrow.
We do have a food mill. One year we were ambitious enough to make and can some sauce. It really did take a bunch of tomatoes to make a sauce of suitable thickness for my taste. We’ll see if we’re driven to that this year. At the very least, we’ll blanch off the skins and freeze them.
Drive them all out to my house. I am so annoyed not to be able to make and can sauce the last two years. I generally did about 100 quarts every year.
*sigh*
All this food talk made me make a marinade for tomorrow’s grilled chicken.
Soy, ginger, homemade red hot sauce, a little honey, garlic, and oil.
I’m wondering if I should make pancakes for breakfast tomorrow.
Waffles are the more masculine breakfast option,, though I do stop short of ruling pancakes as gay.
Whew!
So… pancakes are like the metrosexual of breakfast foods?
Is it a binary option or could you give them a percentage rating? Like… 40%?
There’s a scale. Once you pass 35% gay, it’s all gay, though.
You can pour bourbon on them and the become ungay. Nothing with bourbon on is gay.
I will allow this, though with the possible exception of an actual cock. I’m pretty sure not even bourbon can make a cock not gay.
I pour maple syrup all the fuck over waffles and pancakes.
Make hotcakes. Sounds yummier.
Today’s office: “We’re gonna do a working lunch, so we ordered lunch for you. Ratatouille.”
?
I can’t imagine that a Japanese interpretation of Ratatouille would be all that appetizing.
Nope. But any ratatouille is gross, though not as gross as paella.
. . . not as gross as paella.
You’re dead to me, d00d.
English food > Spanish food.
The English do not have a cuisine. They just have stuff that gets eaten because it didn’t move fast enough.
any ratatouille is gross
I can’t figure this part out either.
The words are ostensibly English, but they’re strung together in ways that make absolutely no sense.
“Vile”? Does that help with the comprende?
Nope. I think my Glibs-to-English translator app’s broken again.
Maybe it just needs to be recharged with a grotesque concoction of rice and incongruent meats.
Thai fried rice?
What’s wrong with ratatouille? unctuous? slimy? I was thinking of making some.

To those of us who have grown up, gotten jobs, had relationships, joined the military; in many cases gotten educated, raised families, had careers, it makes you sound like a 16-year-old douche in high school or worse – a 30-something loser in his mom’s basement.
I’ve read your normal posts and it almost seems like that normal guy has given his logon/password to some other childish freak. “That guy” I could have a conversation with. But the “gay-fag” guy sorely tempts me to be uncivil.

Now that we’re on to lunch (we being me and others near my time zone) – I had a diced chuck steak on a bed of grilled onion, mushrooms, and garlic. Homemade Frijitos on the side. I decided that since I don’t have a job I’ll use my WFH privilege and have a beer with that. Unfortunately, I had drunk all the short cans and all I had left was tall cans of Radeberger. Oh, well, a tall can it is!
Until the third sentence I was gonna say it sounds smelly for an office lunch.
Holly fuck the nuggets won. Who’d of thunk it? Playoff P chocked big time.
I even had money on the game but have no idea if I won because I don;t remember what I had on the Miami game. I had Miami winning but also something else. I think I may have had jimmy butler over 25 points which means I lost. 2 bucks down the drain.
So you’re the guy watching the NBA.
I have watched like 3 games in the bubble. But I do bet 2 bucks a night and follow the scores and highlights.
What I had for dinner was eggplant and beef Moussaka with baked bell peppers. But that was last night. It is almost breakfast time. I need to wait another hour though to hit mu 15 hour fasting window.
Trump town hall (did not watch). Crowder posted some short clip of a black woman from Philadelphia who also happens to be a professor of some kind (basically, 0% chance she’d ever actually vote for Trump). She has some sort of skin condition she was born with that made her uninsurable and she rants about this and about how Trump would do away with protections for preexisting conditions.
I’m not sorry to say that what these people are looking for isn’t insurance. It’s free or highly subsidized healthcare and they are too dumb or disingenuous to make the distinction. Insurance isn’t healthcare. It’s not a proxy for healthcare.
Also, Trump has no intention of doing away with the preexisting condition thing anyway, so she’s politically uninformed.
I didn’t see it but would guess it was performance art or virtue signaling.
She was totally woke, obviously. She cuts Trump off as he starts to answer and demands he let her finish her “question.” She talks about how it isn’t her fault she’s black and marginalized by the medical community.
None of this surprises me.
For db. Find what you like in terms of how you cook your cow. Learn it, love it, because it is what will produce the end product you want.

WTF? I know it’s Ngo who likes to shade things, but a mob outside the house, shining lights at him, and the home owner is arrested for brandishing??
Who is the homeowner, and why him?
Also, fuck da police. How that arrest is even possible…..wait–who called the po-po? The BLM people??
It’s Ngo, so I’m thinking there’s more to it.
Do you find him to be unreliable? I am under the impression he’s better than most independent journos.
Yes better, but he definitely has a certain point of view and narrative. I’ve noticed a couple times where he slides things out with some spin or leaves out some context.
Found another source, still based off the same video.

Possibly a background as to why the homeowner got arrested? Even so, harassing someone for hours and then get arrested. This is continuing to spin out of control. Keeps up and there’s going to be Rwanda scale violence and those politicians and government heads allowing this crap are going to kiss Madame Guillotine just like the rest of us. Assholes. You blew it all up! Damn you to hell.
If we are ever going to have anything approaching “reform”, there needs to be an accountability mechanism put into place for prosecutors. It can’t just be police.
Of course, so many things need to change, like acknowledging, in legislation, the supremacy of your property’s sanctity–even for racists (if that’s what he is).
I wonder what Shotgun Joe thinks about this….heheheheh–“thinks”!
So the guy threatened people who are threatening him because that’s what showing up at someone’s house is. They know where you live and they can trash your property or you anytime they feel like it.
Wtf?

It would be awesome to hear him mumble-singing that when he’s walking through the White House.

I was thinking of Trump, actually.
Not that this doesn’t work.
I’m thinking Biden has a Studebaker.
If you’re pro choice and a Cuties defender, why can’t you think 11 years ahead?
Ugh–that means planning for parenthood!
Wait…
In 2030, conservatives with be absolutely against allowing any child porn under 11 years old.
Nah, the left will push eight and the conservatives will compromise with eleven so they can pretend they’re still conserving something.

I’ve been up all night, and Im about to make breakfast for Jugsy.
Morning ya’all
What’s on the menu?
For her? Egg white omlette and Wright Brand bacon
Me? Leftover Donatos sans crust
Mmmmm!!! I’ll take the yolks she’s not eating and any bacon that’s left.
I buy that stuff buy the quart…..I dont get it. I need AIGS with yella stuff in them.
Kroger gave me $1.25/off the bacon, so it was “reasonable” for 1.5 lbs. Wright Brand isnt cheap.
I’m just bummed that our Meijer doesn’t carry the Atkins Bacon Scramble bowl – just the Sausage Scramble. Nothing against sausage, but that’s what we have on Sunday with our waffles. I’d lobby harder for bacon occasionally, but it seems to be a lot spittier when frying than the sausage patties are. Hazardous and more labor-intensive.
Bake your bacon. Put a rack on a baking sheet (to catch the drippings) lay out the rashers on the rack and bake to the desired texture.
yes, cleaning the rack is a bit of a pain, but you don’t get splattered with bacon grease while standing over a skillet.
Ooh! That sounds good! Especially when the weather gets cooler. Might that also work under the broiler?
I’ve never tried. If you try, let us know how it turns out.
Good morning, early birds. Greetings from Kovidia, the prison planet inhabited by Kovidiots.
Good morning, TARDy! Gee, it seems like just last year, the news had me convinced I was living someplace called Opioidia. Musta been a revolution or something.
I must have lost time. I thought Opiodia was the year before, and last year was Allmenrapia. Meh, it’s all Orangeman’s anyway.
So this happened today – Wifey’s XY has been on a downward spiral for the last few months. We don’t know the precise shit that he’s involved with because it seems that every word out of that guy’s mouth is a great big lie. I don’t think he’s a tweaker because he’s always been more of a laid back stoner sort but who knows. Anyways, Wifey gets a call this afternoon from him. He’s in a neighboring town after some scheme turned ugly. Apparently he and his compadres stole some plates, put them on his car and headed off to do God knows what. The story we’ve been told is that the hard dudes held him hostage for awhile, beat the shit out of him and stole his wallet, phone and the car. Left him stranded there. Bad enough but here’s the kicker! That fucker wanted Wifey to transfer papers for the car into her name so that he could report it stolen without implicating himself for driving without a licence or insurance. I put the kibosh on that immediately. He’s gonna be fine, he has a buddy going to pick him up to bring him back to the city. I don’t know what the fuck is going on in that guy’s life right now but I’d venture that very little of it is good. He was always a slacker and he and I get along just fine ignoring each other but poor Wifey. He’s her eldest. He’s 38. So that’s what we had for dinner. Sorry for the rant.
Not all liars are addicts; but all addicts are liars. (so are fishermen)
You have my best wishes, Canuckian.
A fisherman only costs an extra beer (usually).
I’d put the lie to that. Not because I’m a great fisherman but you’d need at least a case to hold my interest 🙂
Ugggh. Mom’s gotta let him fall on his face. Sorry you’re having to deal with that. : (
Well we have been for 20 years. It’s just been a lot of problems over the last few months. He’s always been a very mellow dude, fucked up for certain but in mostly harmless ways. This City has gone to the shitter over the last three years and it was never that great to begin with. He’s got hearing problems and is probably a little autistic. He’s never fit in well and now he’s hanging out with wolves. Poor Judi is beside herself with worry but what are we to do? He sure as fuck can’t live here. I’ve played the “Junkie Game” more than twice and it ain’t happening again.
Yeesh, 38 is too old for that kind of nonsense.
Wifey is lucky to have you around right now. And GT is correct WRT to letting go.
Thanks, GP. I can’t believe that she actually asked for my advice. Jesus, Woman! That’s Fraud. We would both kiss our jobs goodbye because both of us have security clearances. Can’t take the Momma Bear out of the Mom, I suppose.
Family? How does it work?
Had my share of surprises but nothing like that. Sometimes we have to acknowledge the truth and let it go. Like trying to reform a drunk.
“Where’s Uncle Charlie this time?” “Slammer in some small town, needs a $100” “Oh, well, that isn’t too bad, send it” Six weeks later, “Hey, it’ me, Charlie, whassup? Hey, look, I had a little accident and…”
It seems to never stop
The real trouble just started recently. He has fallen in with a bad crowd. He’s basically 38 going on 15 so far as social cues go. Smart as a whip when the subject interests him but just as dense as a post regarding everything else.
“Family? How does it work?”
Dysfunctionally, usually.
When you marry someone, you marry their whole family.
Well, shit.
Way to make me even more unmarryable.
Lucky me, I actually married up!
I’m really sorry to hear about this. I’ve had family problems off and on since, well since I started making my own living in the military. Hitting me up for money because “You don’t have our problems”.
It’s one of the reasons I put the Pacific ocean between me and my family.
I didn’t do the physical ocean part but I did disown my immediate family years ago. Never looked back, really.
dear management – pick a top priority, because we can’t have more than one, I can’t do that many things at once.
“But it’s all important and urgent!”
Good morning, UCS.
Tell me you know how to make Solaris print directly to a poorly identified canon printer I can’t physically get to and which has been spitting out garbage instead of the prints.
Why, sure! I know how to do that!
(Does it have to be true?)
I get the sinking impression that getting this print to a different printer is just because someone doesn’t want to walk to get their printouts.
The printer they work just fine on got consolidated to another print shop so we didn’t have our dwindling supply of operators running hither and yon between multiple sites. The consolidated print shop is about a city block away from the old one, but you can walk between them without needing to go outside.
But the one they want us to get it working to and is oh so urgent is in a print shop half a city away – but which delivers the printouts.
Blame the Department Head with the biggest bum, I’d venture. The ones that don’t do floor walks where I work always have trash cans full of snack food wrappers.
