    This shit is bonkers. 36 hours ago it was 66 degrees. Now it is 4. Heavy rain turned to ice, which turned to snow, and shut the whole city down. bonkers

    The deglazing part is the important part. Need a roasting pan for that.

    Marriage and the Power of Divorce

    I have friends who, many years ago packed up the family for some camping, pulling a pop-up behind an early minivan. They got just outside of Thunder Bay (way the bloody heck out in the middle of no where in Ontario, north of Lake Superior), and they hit a moose. Totaled the van. Their insurance...

    36 hours in the sous vide at 155. I added my own rub and a little liquid smoke. Then 2 hours at 275 convection oven. It has to be up on a rack in a roasting pan. The time in the oven develops the nice "bark" on the outside. Now I'm sad the leftovers are gone. :(

    Brisket was amazing. It is very consistent cooking it in the sous vide and then finishing it in the oven. Get exactly the same result every time, and it's good.

    Nah, deer don't do that, moose do. Driving into deer the right way can pretty much guarantee destroying your car, but being safe.

    Well, Alabama got outplayed all game, and pulled it out at the end. I hate the fact that that program gets another title.

    This game is a defensive slug-fest. Respect, though, because shutting down either offense is quite an accomplishment.

    Yeah, five. Took us a while to figure out how she was getting pregnant... That's crazy tall for an 11 year old. My kids are all short. My 16 year old twins are just 5'1" (155 cm). I'm 6'1" myself (186 cm), but my wife is fairly short, but all our kids got super short genes it seems.

    I have a brisket in the sous vide for tomorrow night, I'm excited. But even more than that, I have a massive amount of pork belly for a group of people coming Sunday. I've never done it at home before. I've only ever cooked it when I was a chef, so I guess we'll see how it goes.

    This guy looks like an idiot. When asked if his team could beat the two going for the actual national title he responds with "that's not a fair question." Yes it bloody well is. Put his team in with either of the two going to the real national championship game and they'd get slaughtered. Here's...

    We have both here, DQs that serve only ice cream tend to be tiny, and usually close for the winter months. I can't imagine going to those places and ordering a burger or whatever. They do ice cream fine, but the rest of the menu should probably be avoided. Go to the "year round" DQs for that stuff.

    That small tank is a pressure tank, not related to your hot water. The square thing is the boiler to heat your house. I don't think either of those things is related to the hot water that comes out of your tap.

    How is a boiler related to your hot water for a bath/shower? Boilers heat radiators, not tubs. It seems ridiculous it takes that long for your hot water to get to your tub. Get him to explain that, first. Thoroughly. If it takes more than about 90 seconds for your tub water to be hot, something...
