Drinking great. Perfect with carne asada, and for dessert Faux-Reos from Grocery Outlet. Living the fucking dream over here.

I sure feel you here T. I also went to war, for nearly 5 years and did everything asked of me, only to find out her extracurriculars had continued surreptitiously and continuously in spite of...

actually an Omega Speedy triple cal day/date. The real treasures are the c. 1950's Tudors. Oysterdate 34's. Rolex movements, red/black date wheel. There was a period where Tudor was Rolex's second...

dirtbag collection. there are more, but these are my faves. need to reduce significantly.

drink it

HA! And need to be sold except for my very faves. None seriously high end tho.

Thinking it's a big deal and making it one is a little weird, yes. I didn't take them to 'see' anything. We went to a wacky local parade. Some of the people in it were naked. Making it a thing is...

c. 1966 Corgi Saint's Volvo P1800 still in my collection. Note Saint himself at the (RHD) wheel.

dentists

I took the Things when they were younger. and they came out fine. Jeez you guys are prudes. It's a fucking human body. Half of them have penises, half of them don't. Like they don't know that already?

MoN. Man, that's super rough. Twins' story may be the way to go. Let go the best you can. It'll suck. For a while and then some. Reach out if you need an ear. I'm really sorry you're suffering.

almost as easy, and even tastier

killed it

What a saga. Hang in there!

My absolute fave cut. Used to be just used by Mexican and Thai joints, and it was super cheap when a friend who owns restos turned me onto it years ago. I buy it in bulk at the resto supply, trim,...

Picky picky picky.

Jeezus KQ. Good luck out there!

Because, you know, it's so much work pulling it with forks! :fmicon:

The KitchenAid mixer left with the ex, but even if it didn't.... A) I make way too much meat to fit in a mixer bowl, and B)...

Nothing like dried out meat in your braise

wait.... you pull it in the MIXER?

^^^she seems nice

It's still top round. I'd prefer a lower grade just about anything to that cut.

Not to be more of a dick than usual but no, just no to top round.

holy cat crap!

A recent pic of my butt:

I bought my carbon pan at the resto supply. Cheap. Then cooked in it (always with fat, preferably bacon fat) until it was seasoned. Clean it by heating it up after cooking, under cold water and a...

Right? Super easy, and super easy to improve on. Panko, garlic and onion granules, etc. One thing we've learned is that high heat works best to keep them from overcooking.

Then we made homemade Shake & Bake pork chops. They did not suck.

Second batch of American prosciutto (Father's Country Hams) stock. Roasted shit up first.

This. All those advising to try to do it by being collaborative etc. (many of whom, I suspect, have not been through the divorce machine themselves) are missing a piece. Many of us tried that route...

this

She's alll yours Mikey. best of luck.:fm:

It really is a fucked up system. I'd word it as 'hard not to fight when you're attacked'. I sure didn't want it that way though. Tried to be 'collaborative, but like so many other issues in this...

Alas.........

Don't do it! I tried to be a good family guy and included my ex in the first xmas after separation with the lads. We ended up in the rack. One of the most bizarre experiences of my life. Did put a...

side note: I took a puff off of my kids' spliff (my THC intake is extremely rare so I get buzzed very easily) while we were having happy hour last night and magically turned into Jacque Pepin in the...

Congrats CJ. Glad the clouds are parting for you. It happens!

That's damn near the perfect house right there.

say more pleeze....

I'm a big fan of the fish basket for grilling. I've lost too many shrimpz and pieces of flakier fish into the grill burners over the years.

Here's a nice example of a house special here at the...

How big? I've done a week no problem, and have enough friends and fam in the PNW that I could probably get some land time if necessary. Living at the dock is one thing, being out cruising might be...

I would like warmer and sunnier in the winter I think. So WA and OR destinations are not super appealing. Somewhere in the SW or CA, NV. Dunno. As I said, skiing access is feeling less important than...

Where (that's a little desert-y and sunny)?

Spent a Christmas week there in college days, late 70's I think. At the time it was relatively undiscovered so the food and drink wasn't fancy and chef-y, but so good. Stayed at a wonderful...

Thread drift but.... here's another one:

My folks had house on nearby Shaw Island in the 60's/70's, and we used to go visit the Dodds who had...

Oh yah, she's a keeper!

I'm trynna figure this stuff out too. My Things are older than yours, but proximity to them is a factor. I love that they roll through the house at their leisure, see them often, stay close.

And...

I have a great 1970's Japanese (Matsumoko) knockoff of a Country Gentleman made by Ventura. They're out there if you don't want to break the bank.

only after they've been chipped via covid vax.

Might kinda depend on how he did the cleaning.....
