Seriously. I have no idea why people have kids, barring this heroin-level high they apparently get from it (which is completely alien to me).

I wouldn’t really call it a poor man’s sous vide, as sous vide does different things to your steak, it’s tough to describe, steaks are still amazing, but they’re different when you cook them in a water bath.

I’m with ya - I know it’s probably always been kinda hard and crappy to be a parent but now it’s like proactively shitty.

Amen to that.

Well, sure, but butter cut properly right off the stick is butter cubed.

Not flabby or soggy at all. It’s definitely more of a crust than you get with the grill. Grilled steaks are great, but I don’t grill much in the winter. Need, don’t need, whatever works.

Excellent point, but my feeling was that butter was more food than salt, which is more of a seasoning or additive?

As an aside, we’re only on Tuesday of Butter Week and yet I feel the need to sadly pour out a dollop of golden melted butter for the Vegan contingent. You guys are really missing something that I like to call the 42 of food.

What’s a horrendously gross stew that’d be, or maybe it’s delicious. Who can tell?

Shit, I hadn’t thought about the degradation aspect to the IPAs. None of them are THAT old (they’ll all fall within the general window of Stone’s Enjoy By series by the time we get to them) and thankfully none of them are in bottles. But dammit!

Here is the blooper reel.

Jesus, it’s off-brand Pixar/sub PBS Kids-quality animation with horrible ad copy (“the goodness of plants” — WTF is that shit?). It’s like a parody of bad advertising.

This doesn’t run afowl of KFC’s policies?

“Yeah, but what about Shake Shack/Whataburger/Five Guys/etc...”

a simple glazed donut from DD is pure perfection tho

“Everyone knows refilling a water cup with soda will get you a fast-food slap on the wrist, but as for an entire fried chicken bucket? We await a formal policy against it.”

I posted this on Friday as a commentary on Trump’s gibberish. I’m glad someone put it here.

I would eat an ecru cruller. An ecruller?

The only real nightmare about cheese is thinking that we’ve run out, Gromit!

Rodenbach Grand Cru is Belgian sour that is fairly available and straddles the line between a tart wine and a robust beer very well. Monk’s Cafe Flemish Sour Ale is a Flanders Brown that’s quite straightforward. Stay away from anything that says “lambic” or “gueuze” as those will be the most funky, and by all means…
