Oddly (appropriately?) enough, the first place I ever encountered rocket on a pepperoni pizza was a place in Austin on Airport road that I think might have formerly been a gay movie place. On the side of the building was remnants of paint showing two guys boxing with the words “Stallion Cinema.”

If the GOP retakes the House in 2020, and Trump gets reelected, then they will vote to repeal, and Mitt Romney, Susan Collins, and Lisa Murkowski will cross the aisle and save Obamacare.

I actually double the oil 1/2 olive 1/2 sesame and have even used all sesame before with good results. Adds an interesting flavor to the dough.

on February 8, 2020 at 6:02 pm
Half? Good lord, that sounds like a lot.
I’ve been making fried rice as a staple for the family lately. Sesame oil is kinda the secret ingredient. But it was tricky to get the amount right. Really easy to get too much.
Then we went to the local hibachi place and I watched him make the fried rice. Only one container of oil….. hm…. They pre-mixed the sesame!
With that trick in hand, my fried rice became much easier. The same might be true for making pizza dough. But the mix is nowhere near 50/50 for fried rice. more like 10%. Of course, rice uses a lot more oil than pizza dough, so maybe that’s the difference.

I take all your points about power and the Senate and the need to be a majoritarian party.

The right wing media? Are you kidding me?

American cheese on burgers isn’t debatable. If you’re using other kinds, you’re wrong. It’s made to be melted onto burgers. That other shit aint.
That works. You can also just put a slice on and cover the skillet / close the grill for the last minute or so in order to get plenty of ambient heat to melt it.

Someone, possibly you claims this every time this gets brought up. I haven’t willingly eaten American cheesefood since I was 5. It tastes atrocious and there is no cream, or actual cheese involved. Bandwagoning my ass.
Ingredients:
Milk.
Whey.
Milk Protein Concentrate.
Milkfat.
Sodium Citrate.
Calcium Phosphate.
Whey Protein Concentrate.
Salt.
Notice the absence of the ingredients you claim and the presence of separated and heavily processed milk derivitives instead. It is not cheese.
I think we’re referring to American cheese versus American processed cheese product (also Velveeta and CheezWhiz) and not knowing who’s talking about which.
CPRM
on February 8, 2020 at 8:05 pm
What is American cheese if not processed cheese? ( I mean except Colby, the one true American Cheese that is cheese?)
According to the US Standards of Identity for Dairy Products, part of the Code of Federal Regulations (CFR), to be labeled “American cheese” a processed cheese is required to be manufactured from cheddar cheese, colby cheese, washed curd cheese, or granular cheese, or any mixture of two or more of these. The CFR also includes regulations for the manufacturing of processed American cheese.
Because its manufacturing process differs from traditional cheeses, federal laws mandate that it be labeled as “processed American cheese” if made from combining more than one cheese, or “processed American cheese food” if dairy ingredients such as cream, milk, skim milk, buttermilk, cheese whey, or albumin from cheese whey are added.
There is a difference in both taste and mouth-feel.

According to the article, the process was invented in Switzerland…
Jarflax

Yes, you sure enlightened me with the link to something that would in fact be a cheese, but which is not what you get when you order a cheeseburger at a fast food place, nor what you get when you use the prepackaged slices, nor yet what you get from velveeta. I am perfectly willing to believe that some of the stuff that costs the same as cheddar at the deli counter may be cheese. It isn’t as tasty as cheddar, but to each their own.
But people were specifically talking about Velveeta:
milk, water, whey, milk protein concentrate, milkfat, whey protein concentrate, sodium phosphate, and 2% or less of salt, calcium phosphate, lactic acid, sorbic acid, sodium citrate, sodium alginate, enzymes, apocarotenal, annatto, and cheese culture.

My method
1) use sander to remove old finish and smooth out surface (if new). Not completely smooth but not the mottled surface that modern cast iron come with. Also works if there’s surface rust.
2) wipe, rinse, and dry
3) heat cast iron until almost too hot to touch at the edge. Place a very small amount of oil, vegetable is fine, about the size of a dime in the pan. Use a paper towel to barely coat the piece. Use another towel to remove excess. Should look slightly damp, even, and not oily. No oil slicks.
4) place upside down in hot oven 450F or more for an hour
5) cool
6) repeat 3-5. If you get sticky points, wash with hot water soap, and green scotchbrite, dry and repeat 3-5
After use, wash with hot water, soap, and nonscratch pad. If your pan is properly seasoned with the oil polymerized, soap will not “ruin” the seasoning. Dry and immediately heat pan to almost too hot to touch at the edge. Add a drop of oil, use a paper towel to spread all the way around to just glisten it, take another paper towel and wipe to remove any excess. Again, only need a very very thin layer of oil on it.

Van Damme rocked a sports bra in one of his movies.
When discussing gun control efforts, Massachusetts Sen. Elizabeth Warren brought up her willingness to scrap the legislative filibuster, especially on an issue like universal background checks, which polls show has the support of a clear majority of Americans. The filibuster creates a hurdle in the Senate that makes it more difficult to pass legislation.
Warren is one of three Democratic candidates on the record backing the end of the filibuster, along with Pete Buttigieg, the former mayor of South Bend, Ind., and billionaire activist TomSteyer.
Buttigieg was then asked about expanding the Supreme Court. He’s called for increasing the number of justices to 15, with five of those being “apolitical justices picked by the first 10.” Today the Supreme Court has nine members but the Constitution doesn’t specify how many justices it may include.
Warren, Steyer and entrepreneur Andrew Yang have also expressed support for increasing the size of the court.
1) It is as if that is the point.
2) You must mean that you want 10 liberal leftist leaning and 5 conservative leaning.

Before silverfish reproduce, they carry out a ritual involving three phases, which may last over half an hour. In the first phase, the male and female stand face to face, their quivering antennae touching, then repeatedly back off and return to this position. In the second phase, the male runs away and the female chases him. In the third phase, the male and female stand side by side and head to tail, with the male vibrating his tail against the female.[11] Finally, the male lays a spermatophore, a sperm capsule covered in gossamer, which the female takes into her body via her ovipositor to fertilize her eggs. The female lays groups of fewer than 60 eggs at once, deposited in small crevices.[12] The eggs are oval-shaped, whitish, about 0.8 mm (0.031 in) long,[13] and take between two weeks and two months to hatch. A silverfish usually lays fewer than 100 eggs in her lifetime.[2]
Too much foreplay. And I take it the females only reproduce twice.

Yeah, it’s chicks like that who moved me from my pro-choice to pro-life position. “safe, legal, rare” I have no real problem with, but this “celebrate killing the baby” shit needs to be crushed.
Fleccas did a video recently on the same hypocrisy- a bunch of people signed up to stop fictional dog “abortions” in county animal shelters, but refused to sign for humans.
I see it constantly in PP and the fight to keep out the truth of what abortion actually is, and that’s my main problem, I think. If you take a life, you should be willing to look at it and know what you’re doing. Not hide behind euphemisms, not pretend it’s just ‘a clump of cells’ or any of that trash — people need to understand exactly what it is and how it happens, because how else can a person make a true choice about it?
Anyway, not to derail a post with yummy pizza with abortion, but just to roll my eyes at twitter for suspending me for THAT when I have seen way worse harassment and abuse and those people never seem to pay a price at all.

I watched one episode out of curiosity. It was *awful*. There are shows that use fanservice well. There are shows that use fanservice to paper over how bad the show is.

President Donald Trump late Friday afternoon and evening ended the week by firing three administration and White House officials, he blames for his impeachment in a campaign of retribution that some experts are calling illegal.
Trump not only had Lt. Col. Alexander Vindman transferred out of the White House, he had him fired from his National Security Post and escorted out of the building. Vindman’s twin brother, who also works on the NSC, was summarily fired and escorted out as well, as The New York Times reports.
If that weren’t enough Trump then turned around and had his Ambassador to the European Union, Gordon Sondland, fired as well.
Both Vindman and Sondland had testified before Congress, proving the whistleblower’s claims that the president engaged in disturbing behavior by extorting Ukraine. The General Accounting Office substantiated that claim, stating that Trump’s withholding of hundreds of millions of dollars in military aid was illegal.
The hashtag #FridayNightMasacre is trending on Twitter right now.
CNN Legal Analyst and former federal and state prosecutor Elie Honig says Trump’s actions today are “criminal.”
Calling it a “Friday Night Massacre,” professor of international relations and visiting professor at Johns Hopkins University, journalist, and CEO of The Rothkopf Group, David Rothkopf also says Trump’s actions today are criminal.
I am pretty sure that everyone in the executive branch serves at the pleasure of the president.

DVR’d and watched both XFL games. The ABC/ESPN game had better visual production, but they over used the live game audio and interview openness the XFL is offering. The Fox game did better with the latter, worse with the former. Either way, the product on the field was good. I’ve tried to at least watch some video footage of every ‘upstart’ league since the USFL (which was before my time of remembering, I was 2 or 3) including NFL Europe. This is by far the best product on the field in this time. All the rest looked like pre-season NFL at their best, and worse than that most of the time. But these first two games of XFL 2.0 looked good. Not sloppy at all, and none of the teams thus far seem to be completely unmatched to the competition. I can only watch one of tomorrow’s games because I don’t have ESPN. But so far so good.
Negatives: I think it should start later. have some breathing room after the NFL ends and extend into the summer when there is nothing going on but baseball. Also, who the hell do I root for? The only midwest team is way down south in St. Louis, and their first game is the aforementioned ESPN game I can’t watch.

Cooking on a budget right now.
Three pounds of pot roast in the crock pot with small red potatoes, carrots, wild green onions, rosemary, sage, salt, pepper, and au jus as the stock.
I never watched Parks and Rec or the Office, I mean I tried, but they weren’t funny. I only heard about Ron Swanson later when a friend said ‘that’s you!’ and I watched and didn’t see the connection beyond the mention that he’s libertarian, but his is farcical.
I wish I could figure out how to make a pot roast that wasn’t stringy, well done, a bit dry, and only good with ketchup. This is how I grew up eating it and I tried twice to do it better, but it didn’t work, so I gave up on pot roast.

I braise mine in “marinara” sauce, until it’s falling apart. Meat stays moist and has several applications.
Make your marinara, minus meat, brown a chuck roast and nestle it in the sauce. Cover 300* in a covered braising pot for ~2 hours.
Give this a try. You can serve the meat as a protein. You can shred it and put it on a bun, you can shred it and toss it with pasta and you can use the leftovers to make a baked pasta.

Slow and low, that’s the tempo. I’ll cook that shit for twelve plus hours if that’s what it takes. I also tend to buy a roast with a little more fat in it than most people I know. And I’m a big fan of the juice so there’s always a healthy amount of broth I leave in every bowl I eat. Finally, I add the potatoes and carrots a few hours after I start the roast so they don’t turn into mush before the roast is tender enough to cut with a fork.

Keep cooking until the taters get soft-ish, pull everything out and cook down the au jus for the gravy. I didn’t say anything about salt and spices because that’s a personal choice. Discard the celery, mash everything else except the spuds into the gravy. Works a charm.

Worst I’ve gotten was after accidentally disturbing a nest of yellow jackets and getting stung in the face several times about five years ago. Had to run a few blocks away before they completely left me alone. Nothing major but my face was swollen and painful for a couple days afterwards.
The 2 year old has been stung once, so we know she’s not allergic, but she’s now very afraid of bees and wasps (as is the wife). I have spent enough time digging in hives and have been stung enough times that they don’t bother me.
At Disney last week, wife kept applying some natural sunscreen with citrus oils in it. Invariably, the local bees would show up 2 minutes later, looking for the source of the smell.

I only ate one piece of the crab and still didn’t care for it. But then my throat felt like it was swelling and it got hard to breath. But since those are the same symptoms I get from a panic attack, it’s hard to tell if it was an allergy or a panic attack.

Speaking of all this cooking talk. My aunt had me buy her a rotisserie chicken the other day so she could eat it for a meal, use the leftovers for sandwiches and for me to make soup. I show up the next day and she expects me to make soup that night in hr. I throw all the bones and skins in on a heavy boil, cut up an onion and throw the onion bottom and top in along with a bay leaf. Season and I had a good broth in an hour that I strained and threw in the rest of the onion and the meat. Then she proceeded to make way too batter which led to way too many dumplings. I did cheat and use about a half cup of water with some broth starter to round it out.

Anywho, I got this text this evening from “Warren for President” and I’m not sure how they got my information.

Is it poor form to post the number I got it from here? If so, I’m open to suggestions for a respond.
Respond earnestly, working in more and more obvious native American puns as you go along.

“Hi Max, How! are you? I’m glad to hear that Ms. Warren is here to fight the oppressors! I hope she has the fortitude to womp ’em! While she wasn’t my original choice for the position, I have given my support, and you know I’m not an Indian giver. I just want a great fighter for the little guy, so sioux me. I’d like to contribute financially, because I have a sacajawea waiting in reservation, but I’m afraid I’ll get nothing but beads in return.

I’ve been sorting mementos tonight (yes, Festus, I threw a few things away), but what I didn’t know I had was a bunch of my dad’s college papers (eh, C work) (he did better with creative writing) and a commendation he got at work which I had never seen before and made me see the professional him. I knew what he did at work, but I didn’t know what he DID.
There were also a lot of letters he had written to me when I would go visit my grandmother a few hours away. We had a good relationship when I was a child. Then something bad happened* and that was gone forever.
*He took me to work with him one day. I think I was 11 or 12 or something. I was bored. He was put of the office. I was snooping. I found his Playboys and he caught me gaping at them. He got mad and we didn’t speak for the rest of the day. Our relationship pretty much turned on a dime that day.

I’m trying in vain to find the Roseanne scene where Becky is caught looking at Dan’s girlie mags. In fact your present home life in general sounds a lot like early Roseanne, before it became cruel and/or bizarre.
I never watched the old Roseanne, so I don’t know what that means. I just know I’m trying to not be/feel/think so very white trash.
I think my dad was ashamed I found them (he was a prude) and scared to death I’d tell my mom. But I would never have told my mom (still haven’t) because it would hurt HER. I believe, although I do not KNOW, that he held that against me for years, both his shame and the fact that I KNEW.

Well, you’ve got your hands, and that’s working splendidly.
I’m a pizza traditionalist. Thin crust, red sauce, pepperoni and sausage. All else is pizza heresy.
Also, first.
If I could, I would give you flouncy anime titties.
… No Cheese?!
BLASPHEMER!
*Ignites Flamer*
BURN, HERETIC!
The cheese goes without saying.
Probably my favorite pie. Especially if you toss in mushrooms and olives.
Olives are from the devil and only a 1/2 step removed from pineapple as a pizza topping.
Are we talking black olives or disgusting green pickled olives?
Yes.
Needs cheese, mushrooms and onions. Maybe green peppers as well. Anyway I put you on the good list for correctly and responsibly disliking Hawaiian pizza…and deep dish.
I was firmly in the “there is no such thing as bad pizza” camp. I have my favorites…. and extra cheese is always nice… but deep dish, thin, hand tossed, Hawaiian, who cares… it is all good.
Then I had the new fad where they put kale on the pizza. Maybe with a balsamic drizzle. WTF? Just no, people. Just….. no.
Effing Kale?? sheesh.
I could see the drizzle on a white pizza.
Sure….. but with a bunch of Kale? Who the hell wants pizza with kale on it? Fresh kale, mind you… so it doesn’t even want to be there and keeps trying to fall off. Dumbest idea ever. Definitely for marketing to chicks. It is like pizza …. but with bitter, ill-tasting salad! So you know it has to be good for you!!
Fuck kale. I tried to like it, but was unsuccessful.
Add butter.
And sweat in skillet as you would with spinach.
See Peachy’s comment about arugula.
Putting bitter greens on a pizza is actually pretty great.
Even if it is great… it still might be a man-card violation.
Oddly (appropriately?) enough, the first place I ever encountered rocket on a pepperoni pizza was a place in Austin on Airport road that I think might have formerly been a gay movie place. On the side of the building was remnants of paint showing two guys boxing with the words “Stallion Cinema.”
In my defence – the rucola e prosciutto was a compromise with the fiancee. She wants greens on *everything*… and arugula is fairly inoffensive. It’s certainly better than kale.
A local Neapolitan style place does a very nice arugula and prosciutto pizza – even I like it.
Yeah, salad greens are the only thing that’s a no go for me on pizza. Spinach is on the borderline.
A local place offers “BLT” slices: Cheese and bacon, no sauce, baked and topped with house salad.
I’ve never had it. That’s not pizza.
Give me toppings: Cheese, pepperoni, sausage, ham, mushrooms, onions, green peppers. Jalepenos are optional.
However, I will also eat whatever hawaiian pizza you guys don’t want. No deep dish though.
Cherry peppers are superior to green peppers on pizza.
*passes the jar of crushed red pepper to Grumbletarian*
The local chain I usually order from does a series of specialty “rustico” pizzas. Thin crust, with the base ones being a sweet heat pepperoni, a duo pepperoni (two types of pepperoni), a margherita, and a caprese. Or you could build your own… but those four options are all awesome.
That, but pepperoni and black olive. Nix the sausage.
Literally, Hitler.
My pizza doesn’t need anything other than pepperoni.
So, you just throw pepperoni on the stone and call it ‘pizza’?
Yes, that is what I do.
Stone grilled pepperoni sounds pretty delish, actually.
Try a few anchovies. They really add some umami. Yeah, yeah, the smell is…bad, but the taste!
Also caramelized onions
Before low carb, I used to use Jim Lahey’s pizza dough recipe: https://www.seriouseats.com/recipes/2012/03/jim-laheys-no-knead-pizza-dough-recipe.html

I was thinking of doing pizza night tonight. I suppose that can wait until tomorrow. But what to do instead… Seems like a good night for pork chops. *fires up the grill*
Explosions have rocked a Thai shopping centre where a crazed soldier executed 20 civilians in a mass shooting rampage before a brutal gun battle with special forces.

Gorka added in a statement that the money will allow the GOP to invest more quickly in states Trump lost in the last election but hopes to win in 2020, such as New Mexico, Nevada, Minnesota and New Hampshire.
So the GOP will take over the House and repeal Obamacare right?
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!
The GOP House voted to repeal Obamacare like 30 or 40 times. The Senate was Democrat controlled, and then when the GOP supposedly took control of the Senate, the Backstabbing RINO Caucus did their thing.
If the GOP retakes the House in 2020, and Trump gets reelected, then they will vote to repeal, and Mitt Romney, Susan Collins, and Lisa Murkowski will cross the aisle and save Obamacare.

The duck-face selfie might be his biggest crime.
The Republican National Committee said it brought in a total of $117 million off online fundraising efforts opposing the impeachment of President Donald Trump from late September through Wednesday, gaining 1 million new donors in the process.
*Nelson laugh*
Seems like a good place/time to remind you people to replace half the oil in your favorite pizza dough recipe with sesame oil. You are welcome.
As well as a three day refrigerated ferment.
^^^
I’m gonna try the sesame oil trick next time.
I actually double the oil 1/2 olive 1/2 sesame and have even used all sesame before with good results. Adds an interesting flavor to the dough.
Half? Good lord, that sounds like a lot.
I’ve been making fried rice as a staple for the family lately. Sesame oil is kinda the secret ingredient. But it was tricky to get the amount right. Really easy to get too much.
Then we went to the local hibachi place and I watched him make the fried rice. Only one container of oil….. hm…. They pre-mixed the sesame!
With that trick in hand, my fried rice became much easier. The same might be true for making pizza dough. But the mix is nowhere near 50/50 for fried rice. more like 10%. Of course, rice uses a lot more oil than pizza dough, so maybe that’s the difference.
Tomorrow may be National Pizza day, but I’ll be grilling some porterhouses instead.
They’re salted and sitting in the fridge right now.
I could go for a huge slab of prime rib right about now.
On a high-gluten thin crust with fresh buffalo mozzarella and portobello-horseradish marinara?
Odd pizza choice… but I’ll give ‘er a shot…
You’re going to need something more substantial than a pizza cutter.
I don’t know what any of that means.
“thin crust” … ?
“fresh buffalo mozzarella” … ?
“portobello-horseradish” … ?
And we have already established I have no idea what marinara is.
What’s difficult to understand about “big slab of hot yet almost-raw cow”?
The “almost raw” part. It gains so much flavor by being cooked more.
I’m sorry, do I know you?
No, I don’t think we’ve actually ever met.
I’m an AI algorithm inhabiting an androform robot. Therefore my conclusions are backed by pure logic and are correct.
Sheldon? Is that you?
I don’t get it.
That’s why prime rib is so excellent. It cannot be bad – it is simply a cut of meat, heated to slightly above body temp. Just like a bunch of primatives over a kill.
Plus, if you order “prime rib, well done” I think there is a law that allows anyone in earshot to shoot you, simply on principle.
Well yeah. Obviously if you want it well done you should order the end cuts.
These euphemisms.
On a non-euphemism note, a local brewpub has a weekly prime rib special. 18 oz of prime rib with two sides and a beer for $20. For a little while I was going weekly for the prime rib special, but I need to cut back so I haven’t been in a while.
That sounds pretty awesome!
Mmmmmm….prime rib. ?

The right wing media? Are you kidding me?
It isn’t enough to own all the major papers, the networks, cable except for Fox…. And control all of the debates and get to pick your own moderators for the debates and control the pregame and postgame for all the debates – except for Fox news coverage….
Nope… can’t get your message through with all of that advantage.
Good lord, son…. what the heck do you want… a magic pony?
Kulaks and wreckers…
I fear the left is just playing the overton window game again. Buttjudge, who is a far left liberal statist, looks like a centrist compared to Bernie and Liz.
good point.
Carville actually had some good points in there – if you were a democrat.
And he abandoned the mask. This is about power. We need power.
Which is why libertarian minimalist government principals are anathema to all democrats and republicans. They want power. Power over your life.
We want to make sure nobody has power over our lives except us. So we don’t want power. And we don’t want you to have power.
But in order to do that, Libertarians would need power in government
Carville is brilliant, it’s a good thing no one listens to him anymore. The interesting take for me was for him telling them not to be so smug. I’m fairly certain he held copyright on smug for awhile in the ’90s.
American cheese on burgers isn’t debatable. If you’re using other kinds, you’re wrong. It’s made to be melted onto burgers. That other shit aint.
I pity thee.
Cheddar makes it beddar.
^This. And I shred my own so it melts just fine.
That works. You can also just put a slice on and cover the skillet / close the grill for the last minute or so in order to get plenty of ambient heat to melt it.

American Cheese is for Bologna Sandwiches

American Cheese is for Bologna Sandwiches
True that, but it has to be Kraft. The other stuff is just gross.
Sure, when ‘merican isn’t available.
~”I pity thee.”
That is soooo racist against those with orange melanin.
No, no, that’s “pithy”
Ever try Havarti boomer?
Or pepper jack, or smoked mozzarella, or provolone…
God help me, but you’re right.
This comment is more inaccurate than astrology!
American cheese is disgusting, flavorless dreck made for demented losers who worry more about easy melting than taste.
Bullshit.
American Cheese is delicious cheese sauce made so that it is solid at room temperature for more portability.
And not only that, Velveta + RoTel is better than any “from scratch” chili con queso you can make!
This is where I’ve got to draw the line. Our neighbors make that stuff and it’s awful. I’ll eat half a bowl to be polite, but a bechamel filled with quality cheese and a homemade roasted pepper salsa will always be superior.
Let me guess, you’re drinking wine along with it?
Depends on the heat of roasted pepper salsa but beer would be safer bet.
/ignores NA’s blatant sarcasm
I’ll meet you halfway. Velveta/RoTel is a good comfort food or no fuss version, but if you’re starting with a good bechamel sauce as a foundation anything you make is probably going to be delicious.
^^This guy gets it^^
American Cheese is
deliciouslame cheese saucemade so that it is solid at room temperaturethat isn’t even a sauce but instead is a substance disguised as cheese for more portability.You say that like it’s a bad thing.
I thought American cheese was oil and not even a cheese.
It’s just cheese with a little extra whey to make it more pliable and meltable
^This. And turning one’s nose up at American cheese is the worst form of food snob bandwagoning. American cheese is just mild cheddar, jack, annatto (sp?) and cream. So what, you think cream and cheese mixed together is gross? Not a fondue fan? Figure it out.
Someone, possibly you claims this every time this gets brought up. I haven’t willingly eaten American cheesefood since I was 5. It tastes atrocious and there is no cream, or actual cheese involved. Bandwagoning my ass.
Ingredients:
Milk.
Whey.
Milk Protein Concentrate.
Milkfat.
Sodium Citrate.
Calcium Phosphate.
Whey Protein Concentrate.
Salt.
Notice the absence of the ingredients you claim and the presence of separated and heavily processed milk derivitives instead. It is not cheese.
I think we’re referring to American cheese versus American processed cheese product (also Velveeta and CheezWhiz) and not knowing who’s talking about which.
What is American cheese if not processed cheese? ( I mean except Colby, the one true American Cheese that is cheese?)
This.
Not to be confused with
this.
Those are both processed cheese, one is just a brand name.
They are not the same thing.
There is a difference in both taste and mouth-feel.
So now you’re just a shill for Big Cheese? I thought I’d be the one to get that paycheck!
*insert Homer drool*
Cheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeese…
Allow me to enlighten you with the following link:
As close to the official recipe as you can get, I think.
The ingredients are: milk, buttermilk or other “starter”, rennet, coloring (optional), and salt. That’s it.
There is also process cheese, process cheese food, and process cheese spread, which are all things that have cheese and other stuff.
Here’s another link that’s relevant. I may have posted it last time.
The first ingredient in American process cheese is cheese.
Key takeaway quote: “Let’s get another thing straight. All cheese is processed. All of it. It is a man-made product that does not exist in nature.”
According to the article, the process was invented in Switzerland…
Yes, you sure enlightened me with the link to something that would in fact be a cheese, but which is not what you get when you order a cheeseburger at a fast food place, nor what you get when you use the prepackaged slices, nor yet what you get from velveeta. I am perfectly willing to believe that some of the stuff that costs the same as cheddar at the deli counter may be cheese. It isn’t as tasty as cheddar, but to each their own.
But people were specifically talking about Velveeta:
milk, water, whey, milk protein concentrate, milkfat, whey protein concentrate, sodium phosphate, and 2% or less of salt, calcium phosphate, lactic acid, sorbic acid, sodium citrate, sodium alginate, enzymes, apocarotenal, annatto, and cheese culture.
and it isn’t cheese.
You are absolutely correct. No sarc.
put it…put it inside the burger

The 5-8’s Jucy Lucy was better than Matt’s

How to Season a Cast Iron Skillet with Kristen Graham
I’d like to season h – actually I am very confused.
And she needs to keep her top on.
I heat my skillet, spray it with PAM, wipe it with a paper towel and let it cool down.
Actually, I’d kinda like to have those shoulders. Odd that my body idol might be a chick… but there ya go.
Intriguing. Queued for later viewing as I’m stepping out for a bit.
I thought you just keep making bacon to season it.
My method
1) use sander to remove old finish and smooth out surface (if new). Not completely smooth but not the mottled surface that modern cast iron come with. Also works if there’s surface rust.
2) wipe, rinse, and dry
3) heat cast iron until almost too hot to touch at the edge. Place a very small amount of oil, vegetable is fine, about the size of a dime in the pan. Use a paper towel to barely coat the piece. Use another towel to remove excess. Should look slightly damp, even, and not oily. No oil slicks.
4) place upside down in hot oven 450F or more for an hour
5) cool
6) repeat 3-5. If you get sticky points, wash with hot water soap, and green scotchbrite, dry and repeat 3-5
After use, wash with hot water, soap, and nonscratch pad. If your pan is properly seasoned with the oil polymerized, soap will not “ruin” the seasoning. Dry and immediately heat pan to almost too hot to touch at the edge. Add a drop of oil, use a paper towel to spread all the way around to just glisten it, take another paper towel and wipe to remove any excess. Again, only need a very very thin layer of oil on it.
Ya, sure, but do you do that while wearing a sports bra?
He probably can, but who would want to see that?
Rule 34 dude.
Fair point.
Not me.
Van Damme rocked a sports bra in one of his movies.
http://www.monologuedb.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/02/jean-claude-van-damme-kurt-sloane-kickboxer.jpg
A lot of people don’t seem to know the difference between a seasoned pan–where the oil has polymerized–and an oily pan you haven’t washed properly.
Speaking of degrading constitutional norms…
When discussing gun control efforts, Massachusetts Sen. Elizabeth Warren brought up her willingness to scrap the legislative filibuster, especially on an issue like universal background checks, which polls show has the support of a clear majority of Americans. The filibuster creates a hurdle in the Senate that makes it more difficult to pass legislation.
Warren is one of three Democratic candidates on the record backing the end of the filibuster, along with Pete Buttigieg, the former mayor of South Bend, Ind., and billionaire activist TomSteyer.
Buttigieg was then asked about expanding the Supreme Court. He’s called for increasing the number of justices to 15, with five of those being “apolitical justices picked by the first 10.” Today the Supreme Court has nine members but the Constitution doesn’t specify how many justices it may include.
Warren, Steyer and entrepreneur Andrew Yang have also expressed support for increasing the size of the court.
1) It is as if that is the point.
2) You must mean that you want 10

WTF should the guy behind the counter be in trouble for not calling the police? Getting a free show should not be illegal!
I thought the things that made it public indecency were
A) is she hot?
B) are there kids present?
And maybe
C) is my wife there?
‘Cause, you know. Gotta pretend you are offended at that point.
I never knew your wife worked in porn.
One of us does/did. I forget whom.
She definitely could have… but then again, I think the only qualification for “could have worked in porn” is “are you female”.
It used to be “are you female and between 18 and 25?” But if the last time I googled the word “amateur” was any guide, I think they’ve done away with all limits on age, size and looks.

Okay, what feeds on dust mites? I seriously doubt they’re outside the food chain.
Bigger mites?
That was a joke. Google says:
The predators of dust mites are other allergenic mites (Cheyletiella), silverfish and pseudoscorpions.
I’m actually surprised at how large their predators are. I could have sworn something the size of silverfish would not be feeding on them.
Well, look at the size of what you chew vs your size.
Not that I want to look at any of those predators and compare their mouth part sizes with dust mites. Bleah
Cows are bigger than I am, and there seem to be a number of commenters who think I should just start gnawing on their flank.
That’s really the only way it should be eaten.
The cows tend to react poorly when that happens.
try tipping them first
They have quite a mating ritual.
Before silverfish reproduce, they carry out a ritual involving three phases, which may last over half an hour. In the first phase, the male and female stand face to face, their quivering antennae touching, then repeatedly back off and return to this position. In the second phase, the male runs away and the female chases him. In the third phase, the male and female stand side by side and head to tail, with the male vibrating his tail against the female.[11] Finally, the male lays a spermatophore, a sperm capsule covered in gossamer, which the female takes into her body via her ovipositor to fertilize her eggs. The female lays groups of fewer than 60 eggs at once, deposited in small crevices.[12] The eggs are oval-shaped, whitish, about 0.8 mm (0.031 in) long,[13] and take between two weeks and two months to hatch. A silverfish usually lays fewer than 100 eggs in her lifetime.[2]
Too much foreplay. And I take it the females only reproduce twice.

I think I’ll stay out of this one because I have zero interest in any of the players.
The link that Spud provided is just the latest example of his assholery. Here is another from the Dogg himself: “ I mean, shit, I’d choke her, slap her around, make a motherfuckin’ show of it, but at the end of the day, the bitch earned that money fuckin’ all them ball players I sold her to. I ain’t no monster.”
So, a real Asshole eh?
Something pimp’s love something something
Has Snoop ever been a role model? He’s been tried for homicide IRL. Also, listen to his lyrics. That said, I think he raises a valid point. She had 17 years to confront Kobe personally on her questions, but waits till he’s dead? That seems like some bullshit. Also, I’m not a Kobe fan, this just smells like bullshit. If your comment was meant in generalities towards Snoop and not in regards to the links, as no one reads those, I apologize as I think an argument could be made regarding your summation of Snoop Dogg.
Kicked out of the committee meeting.
I’m glad to see some potatoes some of those pizza’s.
Are you using the Yukon Gold potato specifically, or are you just referring to any yellow potato as a ‘Yukon Gold’?
Gold potatoes in general. The potato melts into the crust, so it’s the waxy texture you’re looking for.
That’s cool.
The specific cultivar Yukon Gold, when you can get them, are the awesome.
Although, I must say, that some of the fingerling varieties are the best for roasting, IMO.
BTW, hello from Nampa.
Howdy! We need to do a beer.
I’ve grown Yukons and they are the one potato I really think is an improvement from store bought.
Golds are my favorite for my favorite application of potatoes – fried.
So I’m surprised you didn’t make our signature potato, wild mushroom, caramelized onion, and raclette pizza. SP is threatening to make stuffed shells tonight. Maybe I’ll do a pizza tomorrow with some grilled fennel, requezon, and I’m-not-sure-what-else.
But no-one here appreciated that you made all your pizzas in the shape of Iowa to honor their contributions over the past week. I noticed, and hats off to you.
It’s there times two. Just with a couple of change ups. That my pizzas don’t look like Australia is an improvement.
If you didn’t make that for Switzy, I take back every good thing I ever said about you.
Of course I did. More than once.

I got a kick out of him and Gabe Kaplan as captains on “Battle of the Network Stars” or whatever the hell it was.
He had some great stories from his discussions with the real ‘Pappy’ Boyington in prepping for the show, but I can’t find them now. He had a great run.

mm pizza… I should have some for dinner.
Also, hilariously, I have to tell you all I am now suspended from Twitter. Some chick did a pro-abortion video — I gather it was supposed to be sort of a joke where it started like a ‘gender reveal’ video and then ends “it’s aborted!” I replied: “I hope you enjoyed stepping on sea turtle eggs and eating fried puppies, too!”
I think the “I hope you–” part clicked some algorithm because it came back almost instantly with a ‘targeted abuse’ something something. So I appealed. we’ll see when a real person actually looks at it. I’m fine to delete it, but I figured I should appeal because getting suspended for that is just stupid af.
That sounds horrific. Fucking sociopaths.
Yeah, it’s chicks like that who moved me from my pro-choice to pro-life position. “safe, legal, rare” I have no real problem with, but this “celebrate killing the baby” shit needs to be crushed.
Fleccas did a video recently on the same hypocrisy- a bunch of people signed up to stop fictional dog “abortions” in county animal shelters, but refused to sign for humans.
I see it constantly in PP and the fight to keep out the truth of what abortion actually is, and that’s my main problem, I think. If you take a life, you should be willing to look at it and know what you’re doing. Not hide behind euphemisms, not pretend it’s just ‘a clump of cells’ or any of that trash — people need to understand exactly what it is and how it happens, because how else can a person make a true choice about it?
Anyway, not to derail a post with yummy pizza with abortion, but just to roll my eyes at twitter for suspending me for THAT when I have seen way worse harassment and abuse and those people never seem to pay a price at all.
The sick thing is it is totes ok to celebrate murdering a human being but making a smart ass comment about it gets a person banned, assuming you are actually a person and not a goddess.
If only I could smite all my enemies!
You’re the goddess of wisdom, and know that smiting y0ur enemies would be unwise.

“I hope you trampled on some sea turtle eggs and fried up some puppies, too” was the actual tweet. I guess mockery is a step too far for the Terms, in a thread that joked about abortion. oy

@Sensei: I saw that after Interspecies Reviewers got cancelled by Funimation in the states it was outright cancelled in Japan as well.
I watched one episode out of curiosity. It was *awful*. There are shows that use fanservice well. There are shows that use fanservice to paper over how bad the show is. Then there was this, which apparently tried to go ultimate on the fanservice to make people not notice how awfully bad the show was. It didn’t work.
I found it so bad it was funny. Oddly enough, I only watched because it was cancelled.
I heard that it was available on Pornhub. No joke.
Amazon Prime cancelled it.
My understanding was the Tokyo region cancelled it, but other regions kept it and AT-X (which is satellite) is still running the uncensored version.
It’s so bad it’s good! The Japanese is perfectly appropriate for my 12 year old skill level – so I feel like a kid reading playboy.

On Nancy Pelosi’s Speech-Ripping Double Down | Behold the Queen’s Dignity
That is not how it works.
President Donald Trump late Friday afternoon and evening ended the week by firing three administration and White House officials, he blames for his impeachment in a campaign of retribution that some experts are calling illegal.
Trump not only had Lt. Col. Alexander Vindman transferred out of the White House, he had him fired from his National Security Post and escorted out of the building. Vindman’s twin brother, who also works on the NSC, was summarily fired and escorted out as well, as The New York Times reports.
If that weren’t enough Trump then turned around and had his Ambassador to the European Union, Gordon Sondland, fired as well.
Both Vindman and Sondland had testified before Congress, proving the whistleblower’s claims that the president engaged in disturbing behavior by extorting Ukraine. The General Accounting Office substantiated that claim, stating that Trump’s withholding of hundreds of millions of dollars in military aid was illegal.
The hashtag #FridayNightMasacre is trending on Twitter right now.
CNN Legal Analyst and former federal and state prosecutor Elie Honig says Trump’s actions today are “criminal.”
Calling it a “Friday Night Massacre,” professor of international relations and visiting professor at Johns Hopkins University, journalist, and CEO of The Rothkopf Group, David Rothkopf also says Trump’s actions today are criminal.
I am pretty sure that everyone in the executive branch serves at the pleasure of the president.
OFFS.
And then they claim the GAO backed that claim of extortion. I must’ve missed that part.
I’m surprised he waited this long to fire them.
He really needs to clean house. My understanding is that there are still a lot of Obama holdovers in positions of influence.
OFFS.
This is turning into Charlottesville comments #2. Like his actual, in context words the actual series of events, wherein the Ukrainians did not think anything was held up (because it wasn’t), don’t matter. The narrative matters. And the narrative is a lie.
What, the Twitter comments? Just keep in mind that a large proportion of those people are genuinely mentally ill individuals who indulge themselves by trying to out hysteria each other.
Who’d want those snitches working with sensitive information and planning your downfall behind your back? Trump would be a damn fool to not clean house.
He’s a damn fool for not cleaning house day 1.
You are correct, he seems to be cutthroat in some ways and overly trusting in others and he screwed up big time by not running a purge as soon as he was sworn in.
He should have bounced Comey on January 21st, 2017, just for how the weasel handled Hillary’s investigation.
He’s a fucking sucker for the brass and the civilian national security establishment. I call it the Tom Clancy Effect, where people think that the brass, the FBI, and the CIA are dedicated apolitical patriots with a few conniving bad apples, when in reality it’s damn close to the opposite.
“Damn fool” isn’t used enough these days.
You’re fuckin’ A right it isn’t.
It would be a good template for future Presidents.
Partially for the reason that if your administration fucks up, it’s harder to blame on the previous one.

I’ve dropped 35# in the last nine months. Stress is a hell of a weight loss program. In the mixed bag category, some positive events have allowed my appetite to return. I want to eat everything in sight. I have to be careful not to waste the opportunity to get rid of some of this fattitude.
Good job on the loss, don’t expect to keep it up at that rate though. I’m just hoping for ~2 lbs. a week down at this point.
Ugh. So tired. Will check in later.
Strip steak in the skillet and the last two russets in the house. Caesar salad on the side. Dammit woman! Potatoes and onions are never to be left off the shopping list. *grumbles*
Do you even keto, bra?
Don’t need too, we’re both slim.

Yes! Thin to win!
Easier to escape from cramped places.
Speaking of potatoes and pizza…
“Pesto, pancetta, artichoke hearts, and kalamata olives marinated in lemon juice.”
Yes, please. I would like to eat that.
DVR’d and watched both XFL games. The ABC/ESPN game had better visual production, but they over used the live game audio and interview openness the XFL is offering. The Fox game did better with the latter, worse with the former. Either way, the product on the field was good. I’ve tried to at least watch some video footage of every ‘upstart’ league since the USFL (which was before my time of remembering, I was 2 or 3) including NFL Europe. This is by far the best product on the field in this time. All the rest looked like pre-season NFL at their best, and worse than that most of the time. But these first two games of XFL 2.0 looked good. Not sloppy at all, and none of the teams thus far seem to be completely unmatched to the competition. I can only watch one of tomorrow’s games because I don’t have ESPN. But so far so good.
Negatives: I think it should start later. have some breathing room after the NFL ends and extend into the summer when there is nothing going on but baseball. Also, who the hell do I root for? The only midwest team is way down south in St. Louis, and their first game is the aforementioned ESPN game I can’t watch.
I can only watch one of tomorrow’s games because I don’t have ESPN.
Sport. Surge. Dot. Net.
Also, who the hell do I root for?
Lucky for me there is a DC team. And they won today.
SSDN is the shizzle.
I don’t care enough to pirate yet, like I said, I don’t even know who I’m rooting for.
How many teams in the new XFL? And, how many are named Rough Riders?
8 teams, and on ‘feeder’ team ( like on practice squad for the whole team.) None are the Rough Riders, but my college freshman room mate did play for that Ragina (hah) team.
“I’ve been to Regina, it smells like it spells!”
Three.
Go… *googles furiously*… Guardians! Yeah, them!
But yeah, those two games today were pretty good.
GO TEAM 9!
The District 9 Prawns?
9th Circuit Lobotomies.
Go Niners!
I enjoyed both games today. I wasn’t expecting to.

Completely off topic(s): “Coronavirus – Why You Should Panic More.”
On a related yet selfish note*, I thank those commentators on this website who previously responded to my inquiry with regards to Countertop Convection ovens. I do not now recall who asked which ones I was considering at the time, and in the ever changing world in which we live in, my list now includes those discussed on this website (although clearly I am open to suggestions in regards to other options).
*It is related in that I can cook pizzas in whichever Countertop Convection oven I eventually purchase.
For Frith’s sake – please ignore the link and give me your opinions regarding Countertop Convection ovens that have the following spacial features: Approximately (and up to) 20″ wide, 18″ tall, and have an interior that includes two levels.
Yeah, I ignore Youtube links that could just as easily be blog posts that are quicker to read.
I’ve never used even a toaster oven. Never got the point, I have an oven and a toaster, why do I need a third thing?
It’s damn convenient for cooking for one.
How so? I never got the idea of a toaster oven if you already have an oven.
Some of us don’t have an oven rich guy.
I find the countertop height more convenient, and I assume it uses less electric than the oven.
I could leave my 30 yr old oven on 24/7 and not even see a change in my electric bill. Your back must be worse than mine, and I get a back ache after wearing a tucked shirt for more than 5 minutes.
Yeah, the one clear advantage my oven has is that the energy to use it is already paid for in my rent.
It’s faster than my oven for cooking small things. And it’s a better toaster than my toaster ever was.
+1 Electric skillet
We have a Cuisinart – not the one in your list there, but the one that also air-frys. Absolutely love it.
My new countertop convection oven/air fryer I was touting in December died on Super Bowl Sunday. Today I got a refund from Wmart and bought a mid ranged air-fryer. When I replace the oven I am going with this one. Sixteen inch pizzas is the selling point.
I have that oven. It’s the tits.
Great Q tits or flap-jack Sunday morning tits?
“We have a Cuisinart – not the one in your list there, but the one that also air-frys. Absolutely love it.”

Cooking on a budget right now.
Three pounds of pot roast in the crock pot with small red potatoes, carrots, wild green onions, rosemary, sage, salt, pepper, and au jus as the stock.
Should keep me fed for a couple days.
I got a Swanson’s TV dinner in the freezer, with your name on it.
Not a Ron Swanson’s TV dinner?
I never watched Parks and Rec or the Office, I mean I tried, but they weren’t funny. I only heard about Ron Swanson later when a friend said ‘that’s you!’ and I watched and didn’t see the connection beyond the mention that he’s libertarian, but his is farcical.
Ron had his moments:

Can’t I just eat Zoey Deschanel instead?
A man after my own heart.
I wish I could figure out how to make a pot roast that wasn’t stringy, well done, a bit dry, and only good with ketchup. This is how I grew up eating it and I tried twice to do it better, but it didn’t work, so I gave up on pot roast.
One of the times I tried it, it was in a Crock-Pot. It tasted boiled.
Don’t over cook it. It’s pretty much that simple. Under cook it and let it rest before you cut it. Rare meet isn’t the debil.
Crock pot, lay down abed of carrots to put the roast on,
ad roast and 1/2 cup water,
Sliced whole potatos on top,
season how you want,
Cook on High for one hour, then reduce to medium for as long as you can stand it, 4-5 hours
Don’t remove the lid til done, this is important
open when done and watch the meat just fall aprt with juicy goodness.
Wendy taught me, and I do them well, I love her Mom!
I mean Pealed whole potatos
Do you have an Instant Pot?
I do not and can’t justify the purchase.
Crock pot
Do you not want good pot roast?
Did one the other night. Turned out fantastic. Rare to medium rare in the middle. Tasty stuff.
With a cheap, gristly cut of meat.
To be sure, pot roast is not on my top 100 things to make, like, ever. I was commenting that I don’t like my mom’s, I tried and didn’t like it, every meat I have ever thrown in a Crock-pot comes out tasting boiled, and I see no need to experiment.
When I was a kid we called all things cooked in a crock pot, “crock”. I actually like crock roast. Just needs lots of horseradish.
I braise mine in “marinara” sauce, until it’s falling apart. Meat stays moist and has several applications.
Make your marinara, minus meat, brown a chuck roast and nestle it in the sauce. Cover 300* in a covered braising pot for ~2 hours.
I changed my recipe in my recipe book.
Give this a try. You can serve the meat as a protein. You can shred it and put it on a bun, you can shred it and toss it with pasta and you can use the leftovers to make a baked pasta.
Slow and low, that’s the tempo. I’ll cook that shit for twelve plus hours if that’s what it takes. I also tend to buy a roast with a little more fat in it than most people I know. And I’m a big fan of the juice so there’s always a healthy amount of broth I leave in every bowl I eat. Finally, I add the potatoes and carrots a few hours after I start the roast so they don’t turn into mush before the roast is tender enough to cut with a fork.
Carrots are sacrificial, and put the taters on top of the roast, they won’t turn to glue that way,
Mine don’t
I’ll have to try that next time. I’ve always been in the habit of making a bed of potatoes and carrots for the roast to lay on.
No, flavor things go on top to drips down! That goes for the fat side of the cut as well, don’t put all that flavor on the bottom to fry just the lower 1/4 inch.
I’m so confused. I usually cook the roast for a few hours, quickly drain it into a waiting pot, add veggies to the crock pot, then lay the meat(phrasing!) back in then add the stock, cover and cook.
Dammit, I’m happy with my roast, quit playing with my emotions!
If you like boiled meat, who am I to stop you.
Rarish meat outside of steak puts me off.
Boiled or not, it’s still tender. Good enough for my low class ass.
If it turns out tasty, Who cares how you make it BONE APPETITE!
Need to braise it first on the stove-top and then cover in the same pot. Add veggies as you go. Onions, mushrooms and celery and later carrots. A little while later add the pertaters. Keep cooking until the taters get soft-ish, pull everything out and cook down the au jus for the gravy. I didn’t say anything about salt and spices because that’s a personal choice. Discard the celery, mash everything else except the spuds into the gravy. Works a charm.
See? Three different methods for you to try already!
Le Creuset or cast iron dutch oven. I’ve got the Le Creuset for roasting, beef bourgnone (or coq au vin) or just plain ol’ stew.
Yes. Cast iron dutch oven!
Sounds like something Stalin would have done to his wife just before bed.
He seemed capable of many things. I was waiting for that joke and you did not disappoint. Is the cast iron dutch oven the one wherein all the pets are strategically placed on the corners of the bed-spread?
Correct. Though Trotsky was supposed to be there to help, but he was always too busy using a flute glass to catch then sniff his own farts in the other room.
Making hachee (Dutch beef stew) in ours tomorrow!
I’ve got a cheap enameled cast iron dutch oven I use for oven roasting, chili, jambalaya, stews and the like. I love that little thing.

Corona-phobia? (Precautions Are Problematic)
I have never heard anyone say “China-virus”.
And “yellow fever” is already taken. So give it a rest.
Honk Kong Fluey?
LOL I love it.
My sister told me that one…
My brother is the funniest person that I’ve ever met. He’d fit right in here aside from the “communistic stuff”. Half of my jokes are stolen from him.
’tis a keeper.
I, for one, am getting tired of this epidemic shit. In 2012, we had MERS. Then, who could forget the Great Hit and Run Ebola Virus Freakout of 2014? Then there were people pants-shitting over hypothetical illegal Guatemalans during the Zika virus of 2015. Then we had chicken littles keening over a potential measles outbreak last year because some hipster idiots didn’t vax their babies. And now, Wuhan Virus ain’t nuthin’ to fuck wit.
I’ve been patiently waiting for my first near death experience with killer bees for around twenty-five years now…
Never stepped on a ground hornets nest, I’d wager. That some dancing queen regardless of stated gender.
Mr. Mojeaux, XX, and XY are deathly afraid of bees and hornets. Mr. Mojeaux’s deathly allergic, XX probably is too, and when XY was little, he opened a neighbor’s BBQ grill and found himself swarmed by wasps and got the shit stung out of him.
Me–come at me, bro.
I’ve been dealing with wasps around here forever. The long-spray wasp killer is some good stuff and yeah, they come after me, but they don’t get too close.
The last time I was stung, I was getting in my car. There was a tiny nest in a hole in the door. Little fucker stung me on the arm and he broke his little stinger off. I smooshed him right there on my arm.
Do not fuck with me, little asshole. You. Will. Die.
Worst I’ve gotten was after accidentally disturbing a nest of yellow jackets and getting stung in the face several times about five years ago. Had to run a few blocks away before they completely left me alone. Nothing major but my face was swollen and painful for a couple days afterwards.
The 2 year old has been stung once, so we know she’s not allergic, but she’s now very afraid of bees and wasps (as is the wife). I have spent enough time digging in hives and have been stung enough times that they don’t bother me.
At Disney last week, wife kept applying some natural sunscreen with citrus oils in it. Invariably, the local bees would show up 2 minutes later, looking for the source of the smell. I had to scoop a few frisky honey bees off of the kiddo by hand. Hardest part was keeping the toddler calm enough to not agitate the bees before I could rehome them.
Ha! Me and my crew were clearing brush and we were all stung so we left this one little oasis alone. My Brother goes through and lays the area flat, looks at us like we’re stupid. My Dad pipes up “He’s so mean even hornets won’t sting him!”
I’m not allergic to bees, but this week made me think I may be allergic to crab. I got worn out on crab when I was young and my dad got to keep a case of crab that damaged while he was shipping it. We all got sick of it. I’ve only had fake crab since, and even that was too close to the real thing. But I was at a chinese buffet this week and there was a crab and shrimp medley. I only ate one piece of the crab and still didn’t care for it. But then my throat felt like it was swelling and it got hard to breath. But since those are the same symptoms I get from a panic attack, it’s hard to tell if it was an allergy or a panic attack.
I punch bees, as in lets go MFer, if you hit em, they drop

Speaking of all this cooking talk. My aunt had me buy her a rotisserie chicken the other day so she could eat it for a meal, use the leftovers for sandwiches and for me to make soup. I show up the next day and she expects me to make soup that night in hr. I throw all the bones and skins in on a heavy boil, cut up an onion and throw the onion bottom and top in along with a bay leaf. Season and I had a good broth in an hour that I strained and threw in the rest of the onion and the meat. Then she proceeded to make way too batter which led to way too many dumplings. I did cheat and use about a half cup of water with some broth starter to round it out.
So I’m a long time lurker and occasional commenter, though I think I’ve only actually commented five times or so. Anywho, I got this text this evening from “Warren for President” and I’m not sure how they got my information. I thought you fine folks may have some fun responses for the person responsible for sending it to me. This is the text:
Hi there! It’s Max with Warren for President. Is this [Bill Door]?
Is it poor form to post the number I got it from here? If so, I’m open to suggestions for a respond.
Go ahead and post it. Spread the news. https://imgur.com/gallery/IqfHdJm
Yeah, it’s probably a bot so Bill should knock ximself out.
Makes sense. I am enjoying the interactions here, so that makes up for it being a probable bot.
Also, gender pronouns: xe, xim, Xerxes, or Pharaoh.
So Xerxes when you are in Greece and Pharaoh when you are in Israel?
Precisely. I’m a renaissance man. Or something.
Renaissance man? That would be Borgia.
OK,
BoomerTulpa.fun responses
“What are you wearing?”
Fuck the fuck OFF, Tulpa
The only acceptable response is “Fuck off, Tulpa!”
Fuck off, Tulpa! And welcome!
Respond earnestly, working in more and more obvious native American puns as you go along.
Something like
“Hi Max, How! are you? I’m glad to hear that Ms. Warren is here to fight the oppressors! I hope she has the fortitude to womp ’em! While she wasn’t my original choice for the position, I have given my support, and you know I’m not an Indian giver. I just want a great fighter for the little guy, so sioux me. I’d like to contribute financially, because I have a sacajawea waiting in reservation, but I’m afraid I’ll get nothing but beads in return. On the other hand, I casino reason why I can’t puff the peace pipe with Ms. Warren as she finishes this campaign trail of tears. I do enjoy how Cherokee she can get when challenged. Modern politics needs a sassy squaw to go on the warpath. I can’t wait to see her on teepee at the next town hall. Sincerely, Fuck You Cut Spending “
“I casino reason why…”
I’m somehow working that into a conversation with buddies during the next month or two.
Nice. Thanks Trshmnstr. I casino reason why I shouldn’t borrow some of that. I agree with KSuellington that I’m going to work that in to political conversations when possible.
Someone needs to reprogram this bot.
maybe a silicon chip inside his head,was switched to overload?
“How did you get my number you stalker. I am reporting this harassment to the FBI.” or “Fuck off Tulpa.”
Thanks to all of you Tulpas!
Max’s number is (385) 257-3982
My thoughts had been along the lines of egging him on with some great Indian puns. This should be fun.
Max appears to be from Utah. He will probably not rile easily.
Yeah, Utah is where I am too, so I’m guessing some good for nothing, freeloading relative passed my number along.
Are you using an Iphone? Was it an Imessage?
I am using an iPhone, but it just came through as an SMS.
“Max isn’t an indian name”
And Fuck Off, Door!
Welcome!
Cheers!
I’d like to take this chance to get a Tumpa’s review of the Hat and the Hair cartoons, if I could.

Today I discovered one of my Steam games has been “removed”.
Shitty behavior.
I really dislike the subscription based model everything is going to recently. Let me buy a license and be done with it.
Yeap, Steam games and Kindle books are the only areas where I have tolerated it up till now – and this is making me reconsider that.
Getting your Kindle books off your device is a bitch (although I have a way around that). You have Apprentice Alf’s scripts, though, right? We’ve talked about this before.
OOOh, I want to pick your brain about this topic. With my impending Ragnarok, I will no longer be under wifey’s Amazon Prime. How do I migrate my books to (ideally) my own hard drives, or my own Amazon account?
Well, even licenses can be temporary (see digital products when their platform goes kaput or the thing has been withdrawn from use).
If I want to own a movie, I buy the DVD. If I want to own an ebook, I buy and download the file to my hard drive. If I want to own a song, I buy and download the file to my hard drive.
I don’t trust the media not to disappear if someone else is keeping it for me.
Right there with you on movies and music. I need to wean myself off Kindle as we have discussed in the past 🙂
Jinx!
Those are all licenses. 🙂
I misstated my position.
I know they are licenses. I don’t want a license to use it. I want the thing so that the thing I paid a license for does not go bye-bye.
“Well, you only paid for a license, not the actual file. We’re taking that away now.”
Technically, yup. But practically speaking, it’s DRM and phoning home that’s the bitch.
The phoning home just pisses me right the hell off.
And getting files off an Android phone? (Never mind putting them ON.)
The hell of a 1,000 folders deep.
Yeah, I’m having lots of fun laughing at people who own a ‘digital copy’ How long will any any of these services survive? No one knows. But I bought it on Movies.digital.com for $7,000, why come it no longer exist!?
My kids bought me a first gen Kindle and I HATED it. Now I watch videos until I nod off.
I bought a kindle for my uncle who was 88 under my account. When he passed my 80 yr old aunt started reading on it voraciously. She canceled her internet, so now I have to not only order all the books, but I have to physically bring the kindle back to my house so it can download the books. I’d order her some of Mo’s books, except I don’t want to think about my 80 yr old aunt reading that kind of smut. (no offense Mo, I’d put everything I write here in the smut category as well, I’m prudish)
No offense taken.
You might have the most wonderful pizza in the world, but there’s always going to be somebody who doesn’t like pizza.
“… but there’s always going to be somebody who doesn’t like pizza.”
Only an asshole doesn’t like pizza.
Wouldn’t it depend on how hot the toppings are?
One of the local cheap frozen pizzas around here (the birth place of frozen pizza) used to put the cheese over the toppings, which meant you burnt your tongue every damn bite.
Oh, I wasn’t talking about food temperature.
Or, the mouth.
This is why you’re my bestest glib friend. I like working as a comedy duo.

Laughed too hard at the headline to ruin it by reading the actual story.
Spud, do i have your Email? I can’t find it….
I will have details Monday at noon, the numbers that were quoted to me ended up higher than the owner will sell it to me, this is good,
Yes, you do. We talked back and forth a couple of weeks ago. It’s also in your Paypal account. cableone dot net is the extension.
ahh Paypal, thanks, I’ll shoot you a mail,
I am organizing my mementos. Right now, I’m putting all past greeting cards (that I want to keep) onto those little ring thingies, which requires that I punch holes in the cards. I am at once impressed with my grip strength in punching these holes and dismayed that I have grown a bruise on my palm.
I have a box of mementos ready to be consigned to the fire. Old report cards, letters from long-ago girlfriends and the like. That shit has got to go.
Looking through mine always surprises me. A whole lot of people like me a lot more than I like me.
*gets in line*
Awwwww… *blush*
There is that but why hang onto that stuff? Most of mine is second or third rate and doesn’t really bring me much joy , more a little bit of sadness. Lucky for me it all lives in one bin. So long past!
After 5 years I still can’t look at a picture of my dad without crying, but that doesn’t mean I want to throw them out. I know my relationship with my dad was different than anyone else here, but I still prefer to hang on to things too long than regret losing them.
My brother in a fit of pique tore up all my art. The rest of it got damaged in a shed flood. I’ve got one piece left that I gave to a friend that she gave back, years later. I was goooood.
I do not know, but I do.
I’m trying figure out what to toss and what to keep as well, But I can’t do it yet…
My young self’s trophies got burnt up about 20 years ago. I did keep the one from the time I hit a Hole in One. That was pretty magical. I’ll never forget that evening. It was the same night that Cheers broad-cast their last episode and I couldn’t feature why there were so many people at the local. “Hey! I got a hole in one! Shut up! Cheers is on!” Story of my life.
I watched the last episode of Cheers at a bar on Main Street in Huntington Beach, CA. I was drunk, stoned on weed, and zoomed out of of my skull on crystal meth.
Later we went over to a recording studio and watched some dudes recording some album.
Sounds about right for 1993. I was pretty straight-edge back then but don’t really remember driving home that night.
May 1993. Jeebus. I was knee-deep in trying to get my BA. Dunno if I ever saw it.
I never watched it. I was too much about babbling and pretty shit-faced.
I forgot 1993, thank god I survived it…
but My band wrote this….

That isn’t bad.
I’ll take that a compliment…

Anyone have a link to that AOC supporter talking about eating babies? That would fit here.

Unlucky for us, she wasn’t.
Well, I take it my post wasn’t approved.

Can you post it in the comments? We can pretend it’s a new post.
There is that asian injunuity!
Too many links. I could break it up, I suppose….
Good luck. I’m tapping out though.
Plus, the hyperlinks don’t carry over, and I’m not going to try to re-do the whole thing here.

What were tonight’s suggested discussion topics?
Same thing as every night, Pinky–shitty politicians (but, I repeat myself), criminals, and a request for any Canucki, or, Canuckistan-adjacent glibs who might be able to score me some Moon Mist ice cream.
The usual.
Sorry, dude. I don’t have those powers.
No sweat, and, thank you anyways.
I kinda wish that it doesn’t happen. A man can only get so erect.
?? The Night Shift posts? I mean, I guess that explains why you tap out so early these days…
i dunno; I guess I could try to un-sexy them. For you. ❤️❤️❤️
Come on! Saturday nights alright for grey-beards? Jesus, we have prostate troubles but really? It’s hard to stay up that long and work a double-shift on Sunday. Friday is a better choice.
So, not a fan of the Saturday night version?
where are you? look down, I’m posting…
jeez
Yes, and I am appreciative, even if it isn’t my actual post.
I was asking Festus, specifically, based on the Friday comment.
even if THIS isn’t my actual post.
I’m here, where are you?
I’m looking up chinese dao swords. F’n Amazon store that I ordered from on DEC 28TH!!! still hasn’t arrived, and the final arrival date is the 11th!
F’n commie shipping bastards….
That’s a fucking Ebay style shipping time,
Fuckers…
I’m actually more worried buying form ebay–at least with Amazon, they handled the transaction, and have guarantees. With ebay, I’d have to rely on paypal’s guarantees, and I’m not sure I am ready to do that.
That said, I can find some terrific swords through ebay…
/it’s the shipping I’m worried about at this point. Not even ready for quality concerns…
It’s actually hard for me to stay up this late on Saturday. Double shift Sunday will become a “thing” again next week. Maybe when I have to retire I can play all the live long day. I love what you are doing but I can’t keep up. I just cant.
Well, yeah! Doubles really only help in tennis and drinks. I am virtually required to do this on Saturdays–if I want to be able to sleep Sunday, and make it to work.
Get some rest, and kick double asses tomorrow.

Really digging these guys, the Dead South
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jC1rWb1ZM34
I really like their song “In Hell I’ll Be in Good Company.” I’ve been listening to them quite a bit this week, actually. They’re good for Canuckistanis (no offense to the Canadians who frequent here).
they are canucks? wow pretty good work…
Yeah, I found that out this week from Wikipedia. The song I linked below shows a lot of shots of Canada.
Yep, Canucks.
Again, these guys rock!

Now I’m talking to myself, OUT!
So Wifey gets home from work tonight and I say “Whelp, dinner’s about done!” and she basically pats me on the top of the head and says “Yes, Dear, you usually are…”
I dunno. Seemed funny as hell to me.
Good, or, bad? Not sure how to parse that.
/negatively, on my side of things
I saw patting, so going with good.
Well, could have condescension intended.
Good Doggie, if your doing it right,
Yanno, I’ve said a lot of bad things about my dad to you guys and my kids, and what I’ve said is true. I know that my kids are going to have a lot of awful things to say about me to their friends and therapists and I guess that’s the way things go.
I’ve been sorting mementos tonight (yes, Festus, I threw a few things away), but what I didn’t know I had was a bunch of my dad’s college papers (eh, C work) (he did better with creative writing) and a commendation he got at work which I had never seen before and made me see the professional him. I knew what he did at work, but I didn’t know what he DID.
There were also a lot of letters he had written to me when I would go visit my grandmother a few hours away. We had a good relationship when I was a child. Then something bad happened* and that was gone forever.
*He took me to work with him one day. I think I was 11 or 12 or something. I was bored. He was put of the office. I was snooping. I found his Playboys and he caught me gaping at them. He got mad and we didn’t speak for the rest of the day. Our relationship pretty much turned on a dime that day.
No, I never told my mother.
you are strange Mo,that’s why we Love you…
Good heavens! I’d be offended if you thought I was normal!
I got the “I think I won!” call this morning from mom, thinking she had won a $1K Wally-world gift card. No, that’s a scam–Walmart didn’t get to be where they are by handing out grands here and there.
Eh, at least she called about it, instead of trying to get it.
I guess I missed the paternal complaints to the Glibs. Mo, that sounds bizarre. Both that he would keep them at work (I guess home wasn’t safe?) but more that he would get angry at you and especially remain so.
I’m trying in vain to find the Roseanne scene where Becky is caught looking at Dan’s girlie mags. In fact your present home life in general sounds a lot like early Roseanne, before it became cruel and/or bizarre.
I never watched the old Roseanne, so I don’t know what that means. I just know I’m trying to not be/feel/think so very white trash.
I think my dad was ashamed I found them (he was a prude) and scared to death I’d tell my mom. But I would never have told my mom (still haven’t) because it would hurt HER. I believe, although I do not KNOW, that he held that against me for years, both his shame and the fact that I KNEW.
But looking back, I can see that that is the day our good relationship went sour.
Yeah, reading between the lines that sounds like what happened. Most families there would be a little mutual unstated embarrassment and then an implicit agreement never to mention it again.
Early Rosey is awesome! Nudie mags scene is from Little Sister (S2.2) but the entire episode that reminds me of your battles with teenage wills is No Talking (2.12). https://www.dailymotion.com/video/x5tqu0n
(Even though she was and is crazy. Bless her heart, she had a TBI — and apparently a personality change — after being hit by a car as a teen.)
Holy shit, it’s nearly 2 in the morning, why am I awake?
Caffeine? Anxiety?
https://youtu.be/krl-2hgFrJU
Goodnight all that are still here.
No night shift? Whatever shall we do??
Inorite??
Inorite.=nonsense
I have had an emotional and difficult week, with a lovely background of joy.
Had biopsy Wednesday on a 1 inch breast lump (Still in pathology but doc says I good) , my cousin is on breast cancer radiology 3 of 17, I have no voice and apparently my immune system wants to kill me.
But I live in the greatest countty in the history of the earth, and I the best possible timeline.
So imma just chill.
You lost your voice?? Wha’happen?
Don’t know why I’m so hoarse! Had a cold but that was 3 weeks ago.
No idea why I can’t talk now.
Well, you’ve got your hands, and that’s working splendidly.
BTW, why not nip ’round for tea?
The joy background was having the stepsons and one likely daughter in law here. Great fun. Tomorrow they fly home y to o Minnesota. We will miss them.
