Weekend Roll Call 11-5-22

[kcdave]

2 of my faves just killing it. Sure would like to find a better copy of this though.



Apologies if this is glass dick, but if so it still needs to be talked about more.
The absolute craziest shit I have even seen in a race. LOVE IT!



Huge game in Athens today. I plan to catch the 2nd half for sure, and hopefully the
whole game ... but gotta knock out that grill biz first.

Chiefs and Tits on Sunday. Andy Ried flat out sucks against them.
2-8 overall. Hopefully it's 3-8 by late Sunday.

Powerball mania- 1.6 bill is predicted- a new record. Take the cash payout,
you are left w/ about $473 million—before paying any state and local taxes.
Got my ticket- one can dream a little.

I am firing up the smoke tomorrow for a couple racks of ribs,
and also to do a few chuck roasts for my first big pot of chili
this Fall. Here's a ham I made recently. Right after I pulled
out the bone, but just before glazed it.



Mid terms are Tuesday. Gotta get out there and vote blue peeps.
Our country as we know it depends upon it.
If you want to live in a dictatorship, then fucking move to Russia.
Leave the rest of us alone in our democracy.

Happy Weekend, Y'all.

IN. Rooting for a Syracuse win to get a decent bowl game. Making plans to travel north to visit friends and family over the Christmas holidays.
Anyone else notice the prices at the grocery store? I know the current POTUS has no clue.

I think that ham stops just short of requiring the (!) tags!

This big cold front had us go from summer-like to blustery and chilly in less than a day. Sucks for those who got hit by the tornadoes down south. One was reported on Table Rock Lake. Thankfully no snow; got about an inch of rain overnight.

Wife's working all weekend, not much else going on.

Thanks for bringing up Ross Chastain's ride along the barrier. Earlier this week I wondered aloud if that much damage justifies finishing 4th. How much money does that earn you vs how much did it cost? Does a car owner sign off on that move? After asking the question I got called a Nazi again, natch.

My, aren't you a pussy.

Throw on a jacket, buttercup.

Hey punch bowl pooper. And there was a reason he needed to move up two spots. You are so stupid you can’t get anything right.

A-basin opened this week so just getting back from two days skiing at 10,000 ft+. Freezing rain in Vail so good day for jacuzzi. Got the winning powerball on the fridge. Walking down to the river later. Probably around halftime of the big game. BBQ later then date at some swank restaurant.

Livin the dream.

[kcdave]

That damn gumbo looks awesome.

Something that was not awesome today was Ga. vs Tenn. What a kick in the
pouch. Dog turd of a game. Sorry I recommended it. :cry:

Giving equal time ... something that is always awesome from earlier today ....
Gas for damn near 1/2 price, simply by showing your blue card and asking
for the Biden discount.

Made my usual Saturday morning trip to the flatlands to the farmers market and Costco. Watching the WS while I have an experimental meatloaf in the oven. Turkey, eggplant, wild mushrooms, onion, celery, tomatoes, Italian seasoning, eggs, and a few other things. I think there’s at least as much veggie in this as turkey, and hopeful that it will be awesome. Could also be inedible, though I would be surprised. It may need more salt, but that’s pretty easy to fix.

[Roach]

Right after I pulled out the bone, but just before I glazed it.

We saw that.

[Mikey]

RACK the Tigers for taking down ‘bama!!

[Diego in Seattle]

Looks like the Tide is out...

[Softball Bat]

The tide is not high.

I've done all the calculations.

After taxes, and adjusting for projected inflation, the winner will take home about $12,000.

[Smackie Chan]

I've done all the calculations.

I've always found your math to fall...flat.

[Softball Bat]

[Mikey]

The experimental turkey/eggplant meatloaf came out even better than expected. Very flavorful and an almost fluffy texture.


I may have left it under the broiler for a half minute too long but no real harm done.




Served up here with a Kale Caesar.

“Fluffy” meatloaf?!? No thanks.

Big ups to my old friend Dusty!! Congrats on winning it!

[Mikey]

Maybe fluffy was the wrong word.



There was plenty of mass to it, but not soggy or greasy at all and lighter than your typical beef/pork meatloaf. I’m trying to find healthier ways to eat by cutting down on red meat and upping my intake of plant based foods. If you ever get a diagnosis of the dreaded PC you’ll know where I’m coming from.

The only fat in this is about a tablespoon of EVOO and whatever was in the ground turkey. It was seriously good and definitely a keeper. But keep on stuffing your face with red meat if that’s your thing. You only live once.

[Bill in Houston]

Yeah, I luv red meat. And it’s always natural.

Beware that processed stuff. Do you know how much fat they threw in that grind?

[Kierland]

It has the fat that is represented on the label.
That’s how ground meat works dumbass.

[Bill in Houston]

So, you presume he read the label.

And you’re here to answer for Mickey. Okay.

I know how labeling works. I also know how sausage is made. Interesting that you trust what “they” tell you.

[Mikey]

I’ve had a lifelong thing with red meat too. But trying to cut back for my own (and Mrs Mikey’s) good. Sort of a special occasion thing now mostly.

And I do read labels. All organic and nothing added to this product. That’s kind of the point of this whole exercise, to come up with good tasting and satisfying alternatives to some of the shit we’ve been stuffing ourselves with for decades. She wants me to give up wine too, or at least cut back drastically. Not happening.

[Mikey]

Here’s something I made last week. Totally vegan, except for the colatura. Besides the beans and leeks I used carrots, celery, romanesco and broccoli. Served with some crusty whole grain sourdough it was one of the tastiest meals I’ve created. Never used colatura before and at first it made the entire house smell like old fish, but it was a pretty small amount and in the end it was what added an amazing umami to the dish.

[Kierland]

Interesting that you trust what “they” tell you.

So you raise all your own food. Good for you. You also make your own meds? Source your own water?

[Mikey]

Yeah, I luv red meat. And it’s always natural.

What exactly, BTW, is “natural” beef?

Does it mean that they used no curlers?
Or maybe just no wild card?
What would unnatural beef be?
Inquiring minds would like to know.

[Donnie Baker's Ghost]

I have the Asian version of colatura and my family hates the smell of it cooking. Smells like piss and old fish. But hot dang it makes some good sauces, soups, and meats. Try adding some to whatever pork chop marinade you use.

Not quite. I prefer to process most of my food.

I do not milk my dairy. I do not do my own vinification. But prefer to do as much as is practical for me.

It’s not all-or-nothing. Have you learned nothing from your adversaries?

Grass fed, no antibiotics.

No hair curlers, but you suit yourself.

[Kierland]

You absolutely do not understand the irony of what you just said do you?
You just went from- don’t trust them, to- they are not all alike.

[Kierland]

Grass fed, no antibiotics.

How do you know?

No. You’re wrong.

You’ve had a failure to comprehend.

[Kierland]

No you are just backing away from your stupidity and blaming me. It’s ok for you to buy a bottle of wine and trust the “no sulfides” label but Mikey can’t trust the fat level in his turkey.

Just fuck the fuck off you sanctimonious twat.

[Mikey]

Rack. I'm working on a eggplant shrimp casserole right now.

Eggplant is very versatile but I never imagined it with shrimp. How did it come out?

One of the vendors at our local farmers market on Saturday had a huge pile of Japanese (small, dark color) and Chinese (small, lighter purple) selling 3 for $5.00. So I bought bunch to use in the meatloaf, not even realizing that it’s pretty traditional in Italian meatloaf recipes.

[Kierland]

Eggplant
Tofu
Potatoes

The holy trilogy of “doesn’t taste like much but it sure is a good partner.”

Powerball mania

Powerball drawing *delayed* due to... security protocols.



The Powerball website said at 2 a.m. Tuesday, "No timeframe has been given for when the Powerball numbers
will be released, but you will be able to find them right here as soon as they are available."

https://www.npr.org/2022/11/08/11350688 ... ng-delayed





Sounds legit. :)

[Screw_Michigan]

Should have posted this in your Doom thread.

[Donnie Baker's Ghost]

"Delayed"

They FIXED IT so that NOBODY won!!!!!!!!

Not according to their website. California delayed the release...and then a Californian won it all. No shenanigans at all, lol.

Grand Prize 5/5 + PB
