The Germans probably have a word for this- the odd mix of self loathing and satisfaction that you get usually after a few drinks when you see a movie on TV late night that you know is awful, but you’re drawn to, and watch all the while shaking your head and saying out loud “why are you like this???”

I mean, if you want to return it, you’d have to perform what competitive eaters refer to as a “Reversal of fortune.”

Here I was thinking spatchcock, but maybe you guys have convinced me... I have a couple of days to think about it, at least.

Season 2 is my favorite- I am rewatching right now, and it’s just so fun.  I miss having Ward to punch around, early action-Skye with her gun-fu, the May table flip, Mac and Fitz being best buds... I enjoyed parts of the later seasons, but season 2 was the highlight for me.

I’m not a chicken fan, but I keep on trying.  Brand new smoker on my patio this week means I’m going to try a smoked chicken.  

Isn’t it crazy that Mary Sue Poots from Season one would end up being so entertaining a character?

Here here.  I love a real beef burger, but some days, a decent veggie patty is exactly what I want.

It honestly never occurred to me to use teeth.  That just seems weird to me.  I tend to avoid shelled sunflower seeds because I hate having a wad of shell junk in my mouth to spit out.

I’ve had boiled peanuts exactly once, as part of another dish, and I don’t get what the fuss was all about.  They were fine- not disgusting at all.  Granted, this was one experience, so maybe I had it at a place that messed up boiled peanuts in a pleasant way.

After many many disappointments with the instant pot, I am here to say, corn on the cob comes out great in the thing.  So far, it’s the only use of the damned gadget I can endorse.

I’m thinking Twin Cities Grill, maybe?  I haven’t been there in a while.

Dom killed this week. Spongemonkeys and Jolly green Giant. I can’t show appreciation more than The Kingsmen:

That ending hits freaking hard.

No tip is one thing, but a line item surcharge is another.

I’m regretting this as I type it, but this is a way restaurants can get your butt in the seat and order, then spring the added cost at the last minute. I support paying benefits, but I hate this sneaky crap. Just roll it into menu pricing with a note on the menu.  I’m wondering which MOA place this is, as I very well…

I don’t know that I’ve found any scene funnier than this one (although Baldrick gets the best line of the bit):

It’s not like there’s a vas deferens between the two procedures or anything.

True!

Naturally!

And here I was almost desperate enough to get a BK taco.  (joke- I’m still totally trying a BK taco).
