Whelp, I guess Big Hotdog selling shirts is them making use of the old ‘even bad news can be made useful/profitable’ thing that is so prevalent now. Sure, they’re giving a few crumbs to a good cause, but still. Oh, well. I’m guessing that the wiener (groan) who was driving is currently ‘seeking new employment…

Help them? Nah, if you go after any other critters when stormtroopers are around they’ll focus aggro on you no matter what else is attacking them. Those spiders are a serious pain on higher difficulty levels. ;-)

Oh yeah, same thing. I always green my AdBlocker here too, but have you looked around for any sort of autoplay disabling add-on? I’m not sure if they lose any revenue from not allowing videos to automatically start playing, but I think it’s a good compromise.

Not sure what kind of system or browser you’re running, but if you can find anything that disables autoplay, get it. I still have my AdBlock greenlit for here and other sister sites and ads will still show, but at least it’s rare that they’ll ever start up when I don’t want them to. But if you do want to watch videos…

Damn, there are a lot of people who would envy your position! It truly is one of the best games ever made.

Hey, my kitchen usually smells like a mix of onions, garlic, and chilis in some form!

Possibly? The only reason I threw out a highly doubtful pickled egg thing for Bourdain is that he was a self-admitted ‘egg slut’.

Meh, to be honest, I only use the KA to start the mix and I finish by hand kneading anyway. It’s pretty easy to over knead on a KA, but much harder to go over by hand. I do rolls sometimes (rarely), but if you were referring to the Hawaiian bread the one I’m using is just a basic white bread recipe with some pineapple…

That sounds really good! 

Damn, you’re not messing around here! You’re making a weekly ‘bucket of dough’?! I’m still a rank amatuer in comparison and I’ve never even made rye before, but that’s one I’d like to try. Been branching out with a few slightly ‘exotic’ ones (to me), like Hawaiian bread, but I really need to do more with whole wheat…

Bread and butter, excellent choice. For being so simple, bread and butter is sooo tasty and satisfying. Carbs and fat, the perfect pair. I’ve been making my own bread a lot more lately because of that same love. Bread that’s still ripping hot from the oven with some butter make those hours waiting (I usually do…

Bourdain’s trash panda and subsequent self-loathing moments are something that I’ll really miss from his shows. I always wondered what, if any, binge trash food he really enjoyed off camera. It was probably something like pickled eggs from super sketchy gas stations, or something like that? It’s been a while, but I…

SSSSHHHH! Shush it with those good ideas of yours! Thighs are still cheaper than the equal amount for breasts, so...

If that Dumpian Scuzbag, Matt Wolking, were to get doxxed himself it would be quite fitting. Hey, if you want to send dangerous frothing idiots at someone else, you should get the same fucking thing back right at you! 

Yup, I feel ya...CJ-7 owner. Hard to lock doors that aren’t there or are cloth half doors. I have a shit ton of locks on everything else...center/glove consoles, HL jack, toolbox, gas cans, but nothing of any real value beyond the value of just being tools or spare parts. If they’re going to steal something, they’re…

Yup, liking the screenshots, Zack! Wouldn’t mind more of this in the future! :-)

I’m laughing at that idiot, but...ummm...

Oh, there’s no way I’d every let anything ‘altered’ get into the hands of someone not fully onboard with that mindset. The brownies were very tasty and pretty damn strong on their own, but the extra addition was just like a small, full shroom and one small cap that was spread over an entire pan’s worth of brownies.…

HA! Yeah, I can definitely see the temptation. Maybe the compound butter just sort of nonchalantly placed on the table with some tasty things to put it on? Don’t say anything, of course, and only offer details if asked. Or burger meat, perhaps?

I’ve never done it specifically in a compound butter, but that sounds wonderful! A 10 megaton umami bomb right there. I do add it to many pan sauces, but in a compound butter you can spread that goodness to many other things. Good ideas like that are why The Takeout is such a great place to visit and comment on. :-)
