Holy shit, that's a big rabbit, and I'm sure very delicious.

Figured it out because it was bugging me. Infinity was the game. Games small figure wise, and pretty quick. It was fun the couple of times I got together to play it. I just don't think it's real popular though. How to dig out my little squad wherever the hell they're at. I don't think I've...

Nah, it's not that. I sent a message to that buddy of mine but I haven't gotten a reply back yet asking him what it was. I don't even know where the little case I had for my squad is located and the manual. I think it's in a box out in the garage somewhere. For some reason I'm thinking...

Yeah I checked it out some after you had posted stuff about it, it looks fun and I agree that the barrier to entry is pretty minimal. I was playing another game with a buddy after I moved back to Texas and I don't even remember what the hell it's called, but it was a different universe and...

That actually makes a lot of sense. I didn't know if it was because there was some movement to protect the sharks like save the whales or something. I do know Gordon Ramsay did a episode on one of his shows about shark fin soup in Asia and just the complete waste of the meat where they just...

Haha, see the David Lynch deal I mentioned the other day.

I honestly didn't know much about raising them, I just know they're a staple for the French and I guess that's because you don't need a big footprint for them, and they breed relatively quick. Not that you need that much for chickens either. I just really enjoy eating it and anytime I get it...

They sure do but they're so damn tasty. Speaking of French though, I know they eat a lot of rabbit, which is also delicious and they do it because it's cheap and they're easy to raise. Why don't we do that here in the US? You figured you'd be able to find it in my grocery stores no problem...

Monica! I rarely buy chicken breasts. I just don't care for them when I can get thighs. We buy a whole chickens all the time and will butcher or cook them whole, but the breast is typically the last thing that I eat on it. Its good for stuff like salads, sandwiches, or maybe if I do gyros...

Yeah, he's got a ton budget meal vids, and typically does a good cost breakdown. Plus, he's just a good ole boy. His reviews of frozen food from whatever store also reinforces my belief in not buying frozen food or prepared meals.

Probably once a week. Green onion, mushroom, Worcestershire, garlic pepper. Served with some sort of vegetable and either rice or maybe mashed potatoes. Was one of my favorite meals growing up. I still make it periodically but with the price of cube steak , it's no longer a cheap cut...

HEB has that, too. When my mom was training border collies and Aussies for herd trials, that's what she fed all the dogs. I buy because it's cheap and just like legs and thighs better, especially for tossing on the smoker.

Hell no. I had around a 1k Necron army back in college when they came out, and after painting and playing a couple of games, sold it to a coworker and made 100 bucks or so profit. It was just a pain in the butt finding games, and a lot of the guys playing weren't necessarily folks I wanted to...

Just honestly didn't know.

Seriously?

Is it select or economy? I can see getting select, maybe choice when it's on sale, but never prime at that price, at least nowadays. I mean if I can get that consistently I'd be buying it up all the time and cutting my own steaks. No reason not to buy a primal to save money and do your own...

If it's true prime, you're not getting that for less than $15 maybe. Wasn't the case under Trump, but the price has shot up ridiculously. This past Christmas HEB had select rib roast on sale and I still think I paid maybe 6 or $7 a pound for two three rib roast. We made one of her Christmas...

If it works it works. Sometimes it's just easier to eat the same thing pretty damn often. Saw an interview with David Lynch a long time ago where he said eats steamed broccoli and chicken salad or something weird pretty much every day and that's it. His reasoning was that he doesn't have to...

Yeah, what @mkopec said, use it as the pork fat for something like beans, red or black, served over rice. Just get your holy Trinity lined up but should be a cheap easy meal that'll taste great.

I guess that's the Latin version of red beans and rice which we ate all the time growing up. Just dried kidney beans, an onion, celery, bell pepper, some smoked sausage, bay leaves and garlic if you have them to hand, and some bullion. Serve over white rice. I do love black beans though...

Are chicken thighs that really expensive where you live, that's nuts? I just bought some the other day and I think maybe they were $3 a pound, which is still way more than they ought to be. I just always buying because hey they're cheap and they just taste better.

That's different than the chicken spaghetti I know. The one we always made was Velveeta, cooked chicken stripped off the carcass, can of Rotel, cream of chicken soup, and lots of whatever pasta you wanted, typically vermicelli. Mix everything together and then bake it for a bit. I loved it...

Haha, that one's a classic, and I make it, as does most of my family to this day. But if you want easier dumplings you can also use the canned biscuit dough, just cut it into little chunks, and you can use the generic whatever brand, doesn't make much of a difference.

Couple cloves of garlic, and a sprinkle of whatever Italian seasoning blend, typically has all the herbs, and it really does make a difference.

My mom used to buy that all the time, the discounted stuff, and she always called it green meat, I think because she was making a pun but maybe there was a green tag on it. HEB does 25% off meat but it's erratic, but anytime I'm in the store that's what I'm always scanning for that 25% off red...

I already said I'd probably watch it when it comes out, but based on the trailer, it looks like the protagonist is supposed to be Jason. I'm basing this just on the footage in the trailer mind you, and I could be completely wrong, but given certain Hollywood and TV trends there's this new...

I just seemed that there was a pretty big interest in it and I figured maybe we can all learn some tips and tricks from folks growing up having to skimp by with their family. I know I had a lot of super cheap meals growing up that my mom always resorted to, but I still make them today because...

Hey I'm just trying to provide a spot so we don't crap up another thread with a derail, not that it was a bad one, hence the reason I made the thread. What cheat meals did you eat when you were growing up or in college or whatever? I know one fan favorite at least my mom always made, and I'd...

Because I always base what movies I watch on a rotten tomatoes score. I'm sorry I just never use that as a metric to determine whether or not something's worth my time. We all know that shit is all over the place whether it's manipulated or just people being retarded. I'd rather just get an...

There was the derail the other day in the politics thread regarding cheap food or meals, or depression era cooking. As opposed to dumping a bunch of stuff into the cooking thread, I thought maybe this might be a nice repository of good ideas and tasty recipes that people can do on the cheap, or...

Think my parents took me to see Flight of the Navigator in the theater. One of my favorites as a kid. The spaceship is still a pretty cool design, especially when it goes into its speed mode.

When I got into trade wars, one of the guys I knew in high School was running one of the bulletin boards in town. He had a pretty big corporation, and I guess I pulled a Eve online style infiltration. What's friends with the guy to a degree and asked him hey let me join your Corp. Meanwhile...

Nah, I wasn't on any bulletin boards until we moved to Texas back in 93. Didn't have my first computer till 8th grade, but after that it was Trade Wars and Usurper. I just always tried to watch Morgus Presents every Saturday night if I could stay up that late without falling asleep.

See that's what made that movie so good. Yeah it was an all female cast, but they were believable characters, you got to know them, and there's some real tension, and a story arc. But none of it was shoved in your face of strong woman power. Never once cared that it was all women, because it...

That's a really fantastic movie.

I didn't watch that yet. Does he at all mentioned timeline or if it's in the universe or whatever the hell?

Is it really supposed to? That doesn't make any sense.

That was such a fun movie as a kid.

I remember when Guillermo del Toro was trying to get that off the ground, and I want to say even Tom Cruise was trying to do something with Steven Spielberg to adapt The novella. I'd really like a good well done six part miniseries or even four episodes or something. Maybe get a guy like...

Actually it seems pretty random. I noticed them posting maybe when I'm having coffee and reading the news, but then sometimes there will be things like what was posted this evening. I had to guess it probably has to do with whenever they get done editing their videos. I always thought it was...
