I have a confession. I’ve never made espagnole- or brown- sauce before. So, I read a bunch a recipes and went for it, including making my own stock (I’d done that before.) I am mostly following the Spruce Eats version. I wanted to follow a recipe because we are trying to show the official versions of the mother sauces. I made my own stock because this is “a project”. But you should feel free to use purchased stock. Just choose something with low or no salt as you will be reducing the stock and it could end up too salty if you are not careful.
KK and I decided to serve rib eye steaks and steak house type sides with our sauce, which gave me the opportunity to show off my Game of Thrones-esque steak knives.
That’s a moose!
Here we go:
The sauce was delicious (as were the steaks and sides). I’m not sure I would make it again for anything other than a dinner party/holiday feast as this took a long time. Escoffier is writing for restaurant chefs who prepare the sauces early in the day and have time to tend to their sauces. If I were to make it again, I would go a little easier on the tomato and maybe add another bay leaf.
and maybe add another bay leaf.
Nice. I just added bay leaves to my Wmart pickup order. I don’t really need anything except sorority girl juice but I am too lazy too walk to the back of the store and I can think of $35 worth of food at the drop of a hat.
Do Walmart have mobility scooters you can borrow? Like, you just find a member of staff and say you have a condition that means you can’t walk and shop at the same time, and they say “oh you poor dear”, and bring out a mighty electric steed on which you can gracefully traverse the aisles?
Illusions of America…………..
At Walmart, you just grab a fresh, sanitized scooter and off you go! no questions asked, and it’s better than having a bunch of waddling slowpokes clogging up the aisles
If you have a motorcycle can you just ride directly into the store?
Yes, but you’d better be going pretty fast.
You’re asking us?
“It could have been a scene ripped straight from the Bourne Ultimatum.”
Shaky cam and all.
In Illinois you can do even better.

I’m not going to say it doesn’t happen, but I am not that guy. I take advantage of the services offered without fraud. They bring the shit to my car.
You order Shit from Walmart?
/21st Century I guess,
The laptop before this one, I bought at walmart. Ordered it online and picked it up at will call. Saved a hundred bucks over the next best walk home with it deal. I’m probably gonna have to buy a new one now. This one is a touch screen and it’s cracked. I like it, but it’s not cheap getting the screen replaced and the fan is making a bunch of noise sometimes now, too.
This is not the brown sauce that I am used to, but interesting nonetheless.
Mmmm.. HP Sauce (maybe that should be Binnenhof Sauce?) is the only one around here and it’s dried up from most grocery stores that used to carry it.
We need to discuss this steak cooking technique. People have been impeached for less.
That’s not a steak, it’s a roast. And bay leafs do nothing.
That’s even worse. And Bay leaves make the world a better place. Unlike you.
THE BAY LEAVES DO NOTHING!
I found fresh bay leaves at the supermarket just now. I can’t get fresh basil by the bunch or by the bushel or even in one of those ridiculous clamshell containers, but I could buy fresh bay leaves if I wanted. This country has its priorities all messed up.
Ya, fresh basil is non existent here. I am a fan of the squeeze tubes found in your grocers vegetable department. Never seen fresh bay leaves in my life.
Fresh basil….open seed pack, cast on dirt, get out of the way.
Oh, and bay grows wild around here.
Been meaning to… maybe this spring… get around to it sometime… *pours another drink*
I have a problem with basil in my indoor herb garden. The basil grows so damn fast that I either have to freeze most of it or I need to find something else to do with it because it crowds everything else out. Even the mint, and you know how out of control mint can get.

*Deletes comment*
KK made a great steak (and sides). I will trust her techniques any time.
High five!

(we won’t talk about the other thing with the steak(s) )
Like it was fucking raw?
It was exactly 125 degrees, which is perfect and any other opinion is garbage
Aaaaah, so you like raw steak/ribeye roast. No prob. To each their own. But you are wrong. How long was it in the oven? Was the sear still on the outside? I am guessing no. Because you did it wrong.
Yes it was still seared and it was in the oven until it reached 123!
It looked great to me. I like to imbed slivers of garlic in them, slather them with “Kitchen Boquet” and then get the oven as hot as it’ll get, slide them in for about 15 minutes and then shut the oven off without opening the door for maybe an hour. Your way seemed to produce some good looking meat, too.

Cheat: Sauce Picante is a Louisiana dish with Espagnole sauce. It is unbelievably delicious.
I make the sauce by mixing equal parts tomato paste and roux (oil and flour) and cooking it over medium heat until the tomato paste is browned to about the color of milk chocolate. It is easy to do because the canning process for tomato paste partially cooks it.
Chop up one large sweet bell pepper, one medium sweet onion and add in. Slice a couple of these packs up in 1/4″ slices (three wouldn’t hurt, you can never have too much) https://shop.savoiesfoods.com/foods/savoie's-andouille , then put one beef bouillon cube, 4-6 boneless skinless thighs ( or 4 or 5 whole leg quarters), a couple of cloves of garlic crushed, cover with watrer then boil for about one hour. I also put in a hefty dash of cayenne to give it a little bite.
You can throw the whole thing together in just a few minutes and while you are waiting for the boil there is probably some wine, beer or other such to occupy your time.
Yum.
I love the food articles here. thank you KK and Tulip.
“I love the food articles here. thank you KK and Tulip.”
I do too.
Thanks for classing up this joint.

I forgot…serve over rice (1C rice, 2C water, 2 chicken bouillon cubes, hefty dash of sweet basil and 1Tb butter).
Hell, rice cooked in chicken stock with butter and basil is good enough to eat by itself.

‘sides, Biden campaigned on destroying their particular business. It’s not some obscure thing, it’s explicit.
I’m not sure why I should appose this.
It accepts the premise that the politics of a paying customer should factor into whether a business sells to them. As satisfying as it is to see Biden voters get theirs, it just further down the road to breaking down the norms of society. It’s not going to end well regardless of the short term pleasure.
The alternative seems to be to lay on your side and let these evil bastards cuck you. It’s basically self defense.
It returns to the premise of free association and the right of any merchant to tell someone to “get the fuck out of my store” for any reason the merchant wishes.
Public accommodation laws are a travesty.
I agree, but I also think being an asshole is a poor choice and shouldn’t be celebrated just because “our side” does it.
How are they being an asshole? Biden vowed to ruin them. He’s willing to violate the 2nd amendment to do it. Biden’s not some schmoe president they don’t like. He’s literally out to get them. They are NOT being assholes. Seriously.
I don’t know. I’ve seen customers applaud when a manager throws a dickhead out of a restaurant.
The question depends on who is the asshole in any given situation.
If the merchant is the asshole, then the prospects of the business aren’t very good for the long term.
If the customer is the asshole, then I just might celebrate seeing the asshole being shown the door.
In this case, anyone buying ammo that voted for Biden is the asshole.
I think Gustave’s concern is that things are escalating. He is correct, but so is Brochetta. The left started it. They are deliberately provoking and have been for a while. At some point you have to stop laying down for their shit.
I will buy from these guys and encourage others to follow suite.
That’s how that ends up.

Oppose what they’re doing on principles, not concede the premise and engage in tit for tat.
If nobody resists what they’re doing, we’ll end up with gold stars sewn on our jackets. I’m not being hyperbolic. These people are fascists. They have embarked on a path that they alone chose. At some point, one must acknowledge that they have dragged you onto it and act accordingly. That’s what these guys are doing.

This isn’t much better.
Hey, I understand and I would rather not be here either. Much the same way those kids at Normandy would rather not have been there. The lefties are waging war on everyone else. There is no virtue in ignoring that. When you are the target of the most powerful man in the world, you had better fight back in whatever small way you can. If more people stood up to these bullies the way these ammo guys are, maybe we’d get back to peaceful coexistence. I certainly hope we can one day do that. That day is not here and now.
The comparison isn’t apt. I don’t see battle lines being drawn up quite that severely. We have a mushy “status quo” side, and a side that’s willing to firebomb the status quo side. I don’t think there’s a tripwire at which point the status quo becomes irritated enough to do something about the infringements. We’d have seen it last year if there were. Mass riots targeting business owners, Trump voters, and suburban nobodies, and all the mush could muster up in protest is to complain about the media’s lack of objectivity, as if that’s news to anyone.
I don’t think it is remotely fair to compare refusing to do business with someone that wants you out of business with the state of Belfast taxis after 30 years of the troubles.
Perhaps you’re saying that Fenix refusing to do business with Biden voters is the first step down the slippery slope to civil war. But I would disagree with that as well.
We’re either on the path to end of civil society or we’re not. Refusing to do business with people that want you out of business may contribute to the slide down that slope. Or may be it slows the slide down by showing people the consequences of bad behavior.
All I know is that I have no remorse for enjoying Fenix telling Biden voters to fuck off.
I think this is why they are freaking the fuck out over what happened at the capital. Or ginning up as much heat as they can around it. Any attempt by the right to stand up for itself must be suffocated in its infancy.
I don’t think there’s a tripwire at which point the status quo becomes irritated enough to do something about the infringements.
I don’t know which side I’ve landed on yet. I’m genuinely (and pleasantly) surprised that the right hasn’t started car bombing and shooting shit up. Does that mean they don’t have it in them? Or does it mean that they’re very slow to anger?
All I know is that my conversations with my conservative friends have gotten really dark as of late. Most of them have come to the conclusion that the country is not going to be embracing its founding ideals ever again.
I don’t know. Free association is a thing in my mind. What form of idiot you don’t want to associate with is a personal sort of perspective thing. I don’t do business with places owned by people with Biden signs. Fuck them. If I was running a business I would probably not be political around here but I am not going to diss someone who is. Especially an ammo manufacturer when the current administration are going full commi. If I had a coffee shop in a town close to a pipeline operation I would put a sign in my window, “If you voted for Biden your money is not welcome here fuck off”.
That would probably cause your business to increase. Aside from a minority of idiots most Biden voters dont go in stores because they are dead.
I lost my oil patch job due to fracking but I worked in a niche market in shit holes. When fracking in the US got full steam the price of oil plummeted so it was not logical to search in shit holes. This ended the good jobs for Agent Sloper. No prob, market forces I can roll with that. Plus I am old now and hate shit holes. But one man ending years of contracts, one man in the white house ending a decade or more of planning, one fucking dick head just destroying that many jobs. Ya, that power should not rest in one persons hands. I hope the contractual fraud lawsuits come rolling in all the way to the supreme court because that was fucked. It is a boom or bust game and I am sure those guys know the ropes but it shouldn’t be from the fucking white house calling for a bust.
Separate but equal.
Yeah, I get the sentiment, but demo money is the same green as repub money is the same green as libtard money is the same green as an-cap money (unless they are talking bitcoin).
This is NOT a development I welcome.
I have always supported the right of a merchant to refuse to do business with any person (including me) for any reason.
History shows that only a bare few welcome it. Those that do are welcoming it really hard. So hard, we pretty much have to give it to them.

Too bad ESPN is going with yet another interview of Serena, oh and now the tournament head is flapping his gums.
Instead of, you know, tennis.
That’s what the ESPN app is for. I think Zverev is on ESPN3, not ESPN+. The Tennis Channel is much worse. I subscribed to the bundle that includes Tennis Channel on Fubo.tv in order to watch the final of the ATP Cup on Saturday. They showed zero seconds of Medvedev’s match. It was some women’s tennis instead.
They’re both bad but I find ESPN worse. It’s all human-interest BS with them.
Tennis Channel shows more tennis.
I have ESPN+ which usually has a camera on every court but it’s bedtime so I’m not going to mess with it tonight.
Many of the players were literally locked in their hotel rooms for two weeks. Their reward for following the sCiENcE is to be allowed to make a living.
Boycott The Mandalorian! (I hate Star Wars, anyway)
I’m sure it’s been covered here. But until these corporations start feeling repercussions in the pocket book, they aren’t going to stop. Expressing views that half the country holds, at least, is going to be verboten in public life. So like in the above story, I’ll applaud attempts to turn the tables on the left.
Has any proggy company actually gone out of business by virtue signaling? And I don’t mean the companies that actually put their money where their mouths are and do shit like adopting a “living wage”, I mean companies with advertising departments that pretty explicitly despise their customers. Gillette lost some money, but it’s not like they’re no longer the Bic of disposable razors.
Gone out of business is too high a bar. Has any company actually substantially lost enough revenue to make an example of themselves? Gillette’s ad department is likely laying low for the moment. I’m willing to bet not a single exec has been fired, not even a single subordinate.
I’m sure they have concocted some data that in fact shows that toxic masculinity ad campaign was actually a success in some way. Sure, they lost money, but they made real inroads with millennial hipsters in the key demos. They may not buy the products, but they view Gillette more favorably now. Some such horseshit.
The knowledge that there’s cunty solidarity among the people behind these ad campaigns, and that they have between them access to a tempestuous world of social media hurt to dish out if crossed, must moot any firing and hiring decision. Do I feel like being fired for firing the idiot who thought this was a good idea? That dummy can dish out so much more damage to Gillette than s/he’s done already.
I think I’m just realizing that social media is the dream of labor unions everywhere, except not really, because it’s effortless collective action without much by way of centralized control.
Nope. There are individual victories like certain pieces of pop culture flopping or receiving severe backlash, but there’s not enough will among conservatives to actually finish the job. The mainstream conservative also isn’t on Twitter. For the left, it only takes a shrill minority on social media to gin up a controversy and get someone cancelled or to get major corporations to act on their behalf. The media latches on and acts in their name because they are fellow travelers. There is no corresponding power structures on the right willing to do that.
The right would need real organization and a true grass roots movement in order to start putting a dent in their profits. That’s the only way they are going to force changes.
Well, I remember one time it worked. In 1966, Firestone decided to build a huge tire plant in communist Romania. The Phila. Chapter of Young Americans for Freedom demonstrated against Firestone outside one of their dealerships in Phila.
Other YAF chapters around the country joined in and protested around the country. “Time Magazine” picked up the story. Firestone capitulated pretty quickly, knowing conservatives could buy tires from competitors. Commies weren’t looked on too favorably in those days and the Soviet Bloc did not have the number of American fellow travelers that China apparently has today.
I believe sports leagues took a huge hit in TV viewership due to their embrace of BLM antics on the fields of play.
No.
I will not boycott the Mandalorian.
If we had to avoid every company that virtue signals, there’s be no companies left from which to buy good and services, particularly when it comes to the arts.
Then you part of the problem and why this shit is just going to keep getting worse. Because the other side? They aint backing down or changing their tactics. They’re just escalating further and further every day.
I’m with Woodchipper here, but I also have Disney Plus on a “subscribe for 1 month/binge/cancel” schedule. They get one month a year from me, usually with a promotional discount. If that’s their business model, good luck.
Their boycotts don’t work either. Goya is doing just fine.
Their boycotts don’t work, but as stated above they have the sympathetic ear of people in positions of power who are willing to act based on the moronic tweets of the fringe of the left. A small but vocal group of lefties can cost someone their entire career or get a show cancelled regardless of whether they have real popular support.
Without the same power structures, the only way to get these corporations to change their behavior and stop with the woke bullshit is for the right to organize and create real pain for them.
Otherwise, being libertarian or conservative basically makes you a second class citizen in this country. You don’t really have free speech. You don’t have freedom of conscience. You are, well, I wouldn’t go as far as Gina Carano because I loath comparisons to Nazi Germany, but yea…your second class.
You can not care about Kulturkampf, but that won’t make it go away.
^^ this. The reality is that until conservatives and libertarians vote with their wallets and embrace the discomfort of going without, the abuse will continue.
The hard part, to me, is that every major company is infected with this. Okay, I stop shopping Amazon… well, Walmart is woke, as is Macy’s and Spotify and Barnes & Noble and every other replacement for the Amazon portfolio. Unless I feel like piecing together a collage of local brick and mortars alongside a bunch of small niche online services that don’t talk to one another, I’m gonna have to do without.

This is exactly right. It’s already too late, and it happened virtually overnight. There was no real way to combat it.
I don’t have a solution to the core problem either, but I can say that essentially locking myself and family out of American culture isn’t it. Because if boycotting over politics is the answer, that would be the current result.
Fuck me and my inability to close tags.
I can say that essentially locking myself and family out of American culture isn’t it.
Quite frankly, we’re discussing exactly this as a possibility in our household. Not like the Amish, but a marked reduction in the amount of mainstream culture that we expose ourselves to. I already ban the news from the house, but there are things we can do, wholesome things that better our lifestyle, like cutting TV time down to a few hours/week at most, putting the phones away, getting involved in groups and social circles that better align with our worldview, look for jobs that don’t require me to sit through 3-5 hours/month of prog indoctrination, move out of the big city to somewhere that has a slower pace of life, etc.
This sounds wonderful.
Locking myself out of American culture, frankly, is not much of a loss.
Goya is doing just fine
You say that, but I never seen any quality programming by Goya.
I watch a lot of YouTube.
So I assume you don’t watch any sort of TV/movies or listen to any music, watch any plays/musicals, watch any sports, or read most books? Or drink Pepsi/coke or……..
All of these outlets are dominated by the Cathedral, and virtually all of them virtue signal as a matter of regular business.
Because if you want to start throwing out the “you’re the problem” schtick, I hope you don’t have any glass around.
I consume/pay for very little media because of my general disgust for most of the corporations producing it. I refuse to give Disney my dollars so I don’t go see their movies. I don’t pay for Disney+. I don’t subscribe to Netflix. I cancelled Amazon Prime with BLM and don’t order through them anymore.
I am a hypocrite when it comes to sports. I haven’t been able to completely kick my Steelers habit. Goes back to my childhood, but I’m almost there. I have stopped watching all other games.
Youtube is probably the only area I’m a major hypocrite, but there I can use ad blocker at the least. They aren’t getting much from me but some lost bandwidth.
kick my Steelers habit.
It all makes sense now.
It’s like it all just snapped into focus.

OMG, irredeemable. Just cancel yourself!
Wife and I have been discussing how and when we stop doing business with companies. If we disassociate based on every little infraction, we wouldn’t be able to shop anywhere. OTOH, giving them our money to use on proggie bullshit ain’t working either.
I don’t know that we’ve come to a good solution yet, but it’s front of mind for us to create some standard.
I say we start a movement that boycotts any product from any company that one is aware of the politics of, right , left, libertarian, anarchist, doesn’t matter. If I know what the company’s politics are I don’t buy it’s product.
*signs up for newsletter*
Same
STFU Businesstards!.org.
We the undersigned hereby declare that we will no longer buy any product or patronize any businesses if we know the politics of said business or it’s public faces, including owners and spokespersons and whatnot.
or something a little more lawyerly, whatever I’m open for suggestions.
And here lies a huge problem.
Not only are asshole liberal-run businesses willing to trumpet their politics, asshole liberals are willing to “out” the politics of those they don’t like, which means there are companies that have known politics not because they’re assholes, but because assholes have decided to make the rest of the world aware.
Think Chik Fil A.
Respectable Muzz, I disagree. If your company’s politics can be “outed” that just means your company has political views, and that is what “Hey Business, Shut the Fuck Up About That.org” is trying to quell. No stances on anything other than “hey, friendo would you like to buy this thing that I am selling”
Fair, but I was specifically thinking about how not Chik Fil A, but it’s owner was outed from publicly available campaign donations. He didn’t make his politics known, they did.
publicly available campaign donations
Sounds like he made them known.
Am I saying that business owner shouldn’t make political contributions? yes that is what I am saying. If you don’t want STFU Businesstards!.org. to crack down on you don’t ever give any money to any cause.
I hope you all learned a valuable lesson about going along with The Hyperbole on anything.

*adds money to DAF, has them make anonymous donation*
*signs up for newsletter*
I wouldn’t do that. Someone might find out.
Not me. A company comes out in favor of free speech, free guns and free drugs, I’m all over it.
This is the crux of the argument.
What and where are the lines drawn? A tweet? A commercial? Firing someone because of a lack of wokeness?
There are various levels of infraction, and not all warrant a boycott. Because what you say is exactly right: if we had to boycott over every little thing, there’d be nowhere we can turn short of piece-mealing a patchwork of local and online retailers to buy goods, which has its own set of drawbacks, while giving up virtually all forms of entertainment from movies to books to magazines to YouTube and everything else.

Not to detract from the meat and sauce, but tell us about the Brussels Sprout/Mushroom/Bacon side? It looks scrumptious…
Unfortunately the sides had to be edited out, but Tulip haz thee recipe
There’s no real recipe. Clean and halve Brussels sprouts and mushrooms. Set aside. Fry some bacon. Take it out when done and crumble. turn the heat down a little and add the mushrooms to pan along with some rosemary. Sauce for a minute or two and then add the Brussels sprouts. Cook until done. Add crumbled bacon, remove rosemary stem and eat.
Cut off the f’ing stem end side of the sprouts, I made the mistake of just halving them and tossing them in the pot, I won’t say inedible but you don’t want sprout spurs in your throat.
CLEAN and halve. That means take care of that
I shoulda quoted you because I knew that’s what you meant, but I didn’t know then what I know now, and what I know now is that no amount of baking takes the spine out of a brussel sprout, it’s like eating a shrimp with the tail on

I’m surprised they haven’t been canceled for cultural appropriation and anti-Santeria racism by now
I miss Minotaur. There was another team from Brazil there, but not Minotaur. I suppose the Brazil team that did make it had the connections in the States to be able to afford quarantining and all the bullshit
Black Dragon is from Brazil. This year I like Copperhead and Upper Cut.
From an outdoor walking meetup I sometimes join: “Sorry, I have to limit attendance to 10 people in order to comply with Governor Northam’s continued COVID-19 diktat. ”
I love it more now and tried to sign up
There are a few good things to come of this, for me, it’s grocery pickup with someone else doing the shopping cart type action – free after $35!
New guitar quest.
Is that the same guitarist who guest-stared on Leo’s cover of Africa?
Yup. So fucking dope.
I kinda low-key hate this, because I’ve been playing with the idea of buying a guitar and getting into a new inside hobby, and seeing this level of virtuosity makes me feel like I’d be wasting my time…
Don’t get discouraged.
I’ve been playing for just over 2 years (though I have a guitar and pedal collection worthy of a full time guitarist travelling the world as their main form of income), and this song is definitely in play for me.
It definitely takes work and dedication, but it’s sooooo worth it.
Guitar is one of the very few activities that doesn’t require one be good at it in order to enjoy the shit out of it. You can suck donkey balls and still have a great time.
That…is good advice. Thanks. Seriously.
And yes, same guitarist.
Rabea Massaad. The dude fucking rules. Check out his YouTube channel. He’s one of my biggest modern guitar heroes.
I’m a little worried the libertarian women are turning us soft. (That didn’t sound quite right)
We’re not the ones bumping elbows.
Bumping uglies?
It’s like you don’t even read the thread. *walks off muttering – I made a perfect call back and he totally missed it. MEN!*
?
Oh my, that meal looks good. The sauce was fun to watch, but those sprouts and that cake!!!
Good night! Congrats to Not Adahn! 😉
Fine. Go. We don’t need you, anyway.
Thx guys. I’m enjoying these. The meal looks delicious and I don’t even like B Sprouts
Important announcement:
I received a dividend payment in my investment account and now have exactly:
$4.20
in cash in that account.
Clearly, it’s a sign to buy some weed stocks.
Keep it in your pants Mr. Moneybags.
Thanks so much for the new video, Tulip and KK. I love this series! ❤️
Needs a mashup name. I’m thinking “LipstiKK”
Hey Yusef!
Just want to say that the best paid-for-fun job I’ve ever had was working on a, oh well, at least 40 foot rig too, moving around 100 pounds steel beams warehouse racking in a -40 freezer.
I hope you enjoy your day as much as I did!
I don’t like that your user name has bro in it. There’s only one Bro. And you aint him.
It’s actually a play on word on my French lastname. Unless you were a Brochettard around the 1600s I guess my ancestors firsted you on that one.
I’ll be honest, it used to start with Bra instead of Bro back then, but that would mean I am family with an idiot that go the shit kicked out of him by the Shiny Pony so we don’t talk about that.
And you’re French?
That’s like a triple strike right there.
From the place that the US tried to invade twice but couldn’t, yup.
Bruhs
Bad bruh.

To be the man, you have to beat the man! Broswater is throwing down the gauntlet. He is attacking America. The Bro cannot abide. I’m mad. I’m angry. I’m downright infuriated. The time has come for a First off.
I keep having all the comments disappearing unless I go into incognito mode on chrome, anyone can help? And it’s not like I’ll remember my password every time.
Yeah, this is a challenge, come at us America, pretty sure you wouldn’t be able to invade us if you tried it the 3rd time.
I dare you!
(This has nothing to do with the fact that I’d really like to get rid of François or Justin, it’s is just a challenge).
Have you tried rebooting?
I even unplugged!
I feel sorry for you guys :

If you have a version of Monocle you may have hit hide old threads option. I do that occasionally by mistake.
Aaand I can see again, thank you sir.
Waaaay late. Nice job ladies. Looked amazing regardless of whatever Western was complaining about. Bumping elbows is for the performance arts, you deserve a hardy atta’girls!
Yep.
Digging the new series.
Waaaaaay later.
Sauce indeed looks good; I will have to try that, perhaps with my next rotisserie lamb.
Thanks for this series, ladies. It will be fun to revisit on cold, rainy days; those days are made for cooking.
In other news. It was just past midnight and I was ready for bed when I flipped to Netflix to see what’s new.
The TV prompted me to sign in, which I did using my iPhone email app. But everything popped up in Spanish, and the names on the profiles were no longer mine and my hubs, it was Millaray and Veronica..
I called the 24 hour Netflix help, and the agent helped me go back in snd change my email associated with Netflix, change password from whatever the Hispanic thrives had set, and replace their profiles with mine and my hubs. Grrrrr. I hate theft. (Which reminds me: April 15 is coming right up.)
The Netflix lady said someone had guessed at my email (pretty easy: firstname.lastname@gmail.com. But it worried me that they guessed my password, so something got compromised somewhere. I’m a bad individual who sometimes uses the same password too long.
So then I spendt the next 2 hours resetting unique passwords all over the place, starting with all financial items (eBay, PayPal, Venmo, PayPal, indiegogo, etc.)
I was tired, but the sense of indignation at the account hijacking along with worry of other major compromise infused me with sufficient adrenaline to get it done.
I’m thoroughly pooped now though. Got to get up in just 5 hours to close on my new mortgage, which will help monthly bills immensely.
Then I’m off work the rest of the day. I think a nap will be a worthy endeavor after closing.
Good night/morning, my fellow glibbies.
Co-worker had their Netflix hijacked. Seems so pointless and petty. I don’t get it.
Mornin’ Glibbies, it’s off to finish the week, some interesting work today,
Cheers!
Mornin’, Yu! My boss decided to take today off, which means a virtual vacation day for me! : )
Congrats.
I took the day off, so I have an actual vacation today.
Good for you! I’d thought of taking the afternoon off, but he beat me to the punch. All I really have to do until the mail and the interoffice courier bags show up is to write up the minutes of yesterday afternoon’s meeting. With any luck, that won’t take too long. Oh – and submit the paperwork for my notary renewal. Then, stealth reading!
Speaking of, made any progress since last update?
Yes – our hero has just met Lady Young of Hive Zebrin.
When you get the time, can I get some detailed thoughts on the subplots and characters from each of the systems so far?
Certainly! I’ll try to do so soon, before much more happens in the story. I’m sure a fair number of specific 40k references are going over my head, but I think I’m following the plot sufficiently.
If there is any confusion caused by the setting-specific references, feel free to mention it.
::gives a hearty thumbs-up::
Come to think of it, if you’re off work, what the heck are you doing up this early? Are you like me, unable to sleep in much past your usual rising time?
I have to do laundry and cook, plus I’m visiting my mother tomorrow, so I don’t want to mess up my sleep schedule by sleeping in.
One thing the hospital did to me last year was turn me into a morning person.
I’ve never been a morning person before. It’s weird.
I wake up early but start slow. Which is why i hang out here enjoying my coffee until it’s time to clean up and head out.
Yeah, I still drag for awhile… that part hasn’t changed.
When my boss is off, I have more work 🙁
I can’t really cover what he does, and he’s the one who gives me out-of-the-ordinary tasks to do – or just drops by to vent about certain other co-workers or chat about whatever.
I think I’m in the same boat as rhywun. I provide coverage for both my supervisor and my subordinate when either is out.
They do very different jobs, and I have to be able to do both as needed. Luckily I used to do the job my subordinate did and trained them, so that’s easier.
Mornin’ all. Have the best day ever.
Mornin’, ‘slinger! Hope you have a downright frabjous day.
YOU’RE NOT MY SUPERVISOR!
Mornin’ Glibbies! Yesterday’s fuck-a-duck turned out to be relatively painless, wallet-wise. It was the belt and the shop did the work and threw in the tiny tow for $150 all-in. There’s something to be said about about a pretty big-eyed woman and her attractive big-eyed daughter that may have tipped the scales somehow… A lot of the time that’s how things work out up here. Winter can kill you pretty quickly and most people realize that. Faith in humanity is restored at least briefly.
<—
That's pretty decent news.
Yeah. I was pretty het up yesterday. I was featuring closer to $600 bucks with the tow home, parts and working in the driveway in the middle of winter. Who the hell knows what the cost of a new alternator is and how accessible would it be? I’m a decent shade-tree mechanic but it would have fallen to YT videos and gumption. This is much more pleasing!
Good morning everyone and happy Lunar New Year. I really want to go to Chinatown today but it’s cold, I don’t want to wear a face-diaper, or use the subway. Rhy, I did go to the 3rd Avenue location. Holy Mackerel, has that part of town changed since I was last there (2010/11). It was nice to see that two (of the formerly dozen or so) DVD/dirty book store/glory hole joints were still open.
“News you can use!”
And the commie who somehow has veto power over any development in Sunset Park has decided that there’s too much commerce so no more for you. Because race or some bullshit. Hold out your hand to Uncle Bill instead, I guess.
Midnight in Melbourne. And yep, they’ve kicked out all the fans. While Joker is on court. ?
