That looks incredible! Beef, fungus, butter, and some ‘chokes...sounds like the perfect dinner! YUM! 

I used to make some pretty damn decent, yet strongly smelling beef jerky and I’d ‘try’ to secretly snack on it in some past jobs, but it’s an exceptionally cruel thing to break out if you’re not willing to share it. Everyone within sniffing range would want to try it and my jerky supply would quickly vaporize if I…

‘Hazmat clean up, unidentified body parts, check out stand number 5!’

Good stuff!

Thanks, it’s just that I can sympathize with wrecks and injuries, especially bike related ones. I’ve never had a lasting or serious injury from anything on the street, but I still feel a bunch of aches from all of those crashes and stupid human tricks I did and still do in the dirt. I don’t regret any of my dirt…

Yeah, ummm, if that took place back in the late 80s... Unfortunately, that sounds a bit too much like my grandmother. She was a wonderful and kind person, but she also tried to hold on to her independence too long and drove it well past when she should have been driving it. At least when it came up that perhaps…

That same cousin used to say “Rental car and shall be treated as such!” , so yeah, I totally get you! He once had a front wheel drive rental car and he wanted to see if he could do burnouts with it. He pulled up to the curb of a Whataburger parking spot while pointing directly at the gas station next door and punched…

Many moons ago, my cousin inherited the grandparents’ (year?) Buick Electra 225. By the time he got it it was already pretty well hammered. He soon found a boat anchor somewhere and mounted it directly to the rear trunk lid. He also found a captain’s sea hat and he wore that whenever he drove Das Boot. He always wore…

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…
