Country-style ribs. A bit less well trod a path than the short ribs, but with very good results. Only takes about 24 hours, though they might do perfectly well with less if you spend more time experimenting with them than I have. I have just done the salt/cracked pepper with liquid smoke thing, but again, I would…

You forgot the part where you sous-vide the ribs first. . .

There are myriad reasons for having lapses in coverage. I grew up in a small town in an era where most small employers simply did not offer insurance. And when you had to take what jobs that you could find, because the jobs were not growing on trees. And moving had expenses of its own, including higher costs of…

“Have any of you passengers ever been to Hawaii? You, sir? It’s kind of liver-shaped, isn’t it?”

I suffer from episodic cluster headaches. These started for me thirty-five years ago at the age of fourteen. There is no “cause.” There is no “cure.” It is one of the most excruciatingly painful conditions known to man. Google it. Watch some videos, if you have the stomach for it. The bottom line is that the…

Come on down to the Twin Cities any time and we can poutine road trip in my brand-new RS that I just picked up last Friday (150 miles as of this morning!) We can run the table:

Oblivion, in its new GOG version, modded per Predcaliber’s excellent guide from last year, and I am astounded how good it looks, and even more astounded how much fun that I am having. I just finished replaying a heavily modded version of Morrowind a few months ago, which is much more hardcore, and was expecting the…

I just drove this brand new 2017 Nitrous Blue RS home — RS2, moon roof, forged wheels & Sport Cups, the whole nine yards. That is my old 2014 FoST sitting behind it. At one point I thought that I would miss it. No more.

Yep, Elmiraj all the way. Those who are so attached to the Escala have failed to See the Light and must be treated like the infidels that they are.

Not sure what happened to the image, but here it is again:

We have four dogs (don’t ask) and I suffer from cluster headaches. I have not had a cycle in three years, and our two newest dogs are younger than that, so they have never seen what I go through. At least until a new cycle started up a month ago. And one of our newer dogs went absolutely ape when she saw me have one…

If you feel the need to make small talk during group sex, you are doing it wrong.

Thanks for saving me the trouble.

Correction: anyone who thinks that this piece is satire needs to read The Devil’s Dictionary, not just anyone who thinks that it is not. Everyone needs to read Bierce, period.

Oh, you can use as many eggs as you want and make it as as frittata-ish as you like. For a normal pasta frittata, I may go with as many as six eggs with a couple of cups of leftover pasta. But for some reason I prefer the ramen itself to really shine in this case, so I keep the eggs to a minimum. But YMMV!

No, then you would have a rammekoeken.

I more or less came up with that one on my own as a child. I had seen something on TV that must have shown someone making a frittata, and I put two and two together without even knowing what it was called.

That really is not so much a frittata as it is a savory noodle pancake. Hence the relatively low quantity of egg — the egg is just there to act as a binder. I find that one is too little for a single package of ramen, and two is too much. Therefore, I double the ramen and go with three eggs to split the difference.…
