I haven’t dipped into the sous vide life yet (mostly due to a Very Cramped kitchen), but an old buddy of mine, who wins tons of BBQ awards, did some sous vide/reverse seared steaks and they were by far the best steaks I’ve ever had. I’ve done the low oven method of reverse searing, but they couldn’t touch the sous…

Oof, now I see the dislike! While many dishes can stand the test of time, some, like this one, can definitely be improved with modern techniques and ingredients and that’s what was obviously done here.

It’s been decades now, but checking temps with a proper thermometer made a MASSIVE difference in how things turned out for me. There are some dishes, like whole chicken (big fan of spatchcocking), that I don’t want to mess with unless I can check it with a thermometer. I used to overcook the hell out of it before my…

So, I’m not exactly surprised that I’ve never even heard of this dish before, but what specifically makes it so loathed by some people? My first guess is maybe something to do with the beans and the cooking method that could maybe lead to some in-house olfactory strife, but otherwise it sounds like a nice older…

Hey, go ahead and travel everywhere now! Trust that your privilege will 100% prevent you from catching anything from the rest of us mere commoners. Then go home and give your bloated orange pappy a nice, sloppy, wet kiss right on his upper bunghole/mouth. Probably the last idiot in that crime family that will catch it…

The sour sadness of Zesty Lemon Chili.

I saw someone else eat something, maybe a tangerine, like that. Definitely odd, but...uh...lots of fiber I ‘spose? If that’s their yum, more power to them.

Only a One-Flew-Over insane, window licking idiot would want more this this?

Wouldn’t that be WONDERFUL! Someone of relative sanity? Someone who isn’t a vicious crook whose only mission is to loot and fuck over anyone and everyone else, if just to fuck them over for the hell of it? 4 years of this insanity has been far too long and it’s time to get back to normal business.

I’m a bit older (NOT a Boomer, ok!) and crotchety AF at times, but this is a do or die situation and the only way we can begin to unfuck ourselves is to forcibly drag said clown troll out of the office and hopefully into a nice jail cell. Biden definitely was not my first choice, not even close, but he is who we’ve…

Anyone else looking forward to a future that is less fricking exciting?

Wow, Cheap Trick was actually the first band I saw going to a concert on my own many, maaaany years ago. They were the ‘warm up’ band for KISS and I really became a fan after that show. But honestly, until I recognized some of their songs, my buddy and I were like ‘Who the hell are these guys?’. Yes, I was a bit slow…

Name definitely checks out! Stay thirsty! ;-)

Much appreciated, but there are no Aldis in my area (out west). I’ve had people suggest other places, such as Whole Foods, but that’s not where I shop and I’ve heard that it can be hit of miss there too. What’s even more concerning than all of this crazy hoarding going on is that it sounds like the brave people who…

There has to be some sort of internal tortillian dialog that goes something like:

Great idea! I love small and easy hacks like those. I do a similar thing with Better Than Bouillon with replacing regular water in recipes with a mix of that. Why go unflavored if you can use something packed with flavor?

Of course there’s a sex tape...

Yeah, I haven’t bought anything but the powdered stuff in a long time. It’s so much easier and I’ve never had it go bad.

Kapos, or open and willing collaborators with the enemy, are definitely still a thing, as seen here. As history has repeatedly proven, there are always the stupid pieces of shit who are absolutely willing to work against their own self-interests. Kapos never fair well when things are ultimately sorted out.

This is usually me pre-covid and on small shopping trips on my bike, but I usually will flip up the face shield on my modular or I’m wearing an open face. I did another post about this, but I might wear the shield down or leave on my glasses or goggles on future trips. I do know that these set-ups only provide…
