New state TX state record for freshwater fish, 283lb alligator gar in Sam Rayburn. Wonder how old that fish is, maybe over 100 yrs? Pretty cool though. https://www.chron.com/life/wildlife/article/alligator-gar-texas-record-18456967.php

Was watching the newest Redlettermedia episode earlier, and a channel showing Tales From the Crypt episodes popped up on my feed. One of my favorite shows as a kid, along with Monsters and Tales from the Dark side. Looks like the guy is trickling out seasons and they're good quality. Figure...

Title: Tales from the Crypt Genre: Comedy, Mystery, Crime, Sci-Fi & Fantasy Creator: Steven Dodd Cast: John Kassir First aired: 1989-06-10 Overview: Cadaverous scream legend the Crypt Keeper is your macabre host for these forays of fright and fun based on the classic E.C. Comics...

Keyboard and mouse.

Fat chance of them following any of the comics. They'd have to go through 14 issues of the Dark Horse stuff total to set up and culminate with Aliens:Earth War. I'm not a comic book nerd, but when it comes to that shit, bitch I got every issue. Neil Blomkampf was the last, great white hope...

Maybe a decent movie but I just kind of lost interest after a while. I'll check out the other stuff that she's directed. Do appreciate somebody just trying to do something radically different than you're one of the mill Hollywood BS like I said earlier. PSA, Vudu has a bunch of horror movies...

What are your thoughts? I watched it a couple of years ago, but I don't believe I finished it. I like Robert Pattinson. He really is a fantastic actor, probably the best film I've ever seen him in is The Rover, that's why I gave this a shot. Just too goddamn slow. I don't mind a methodical...

Halloween shits?

Awesome. Get him to blast a nice 2-3yr doe, too. Then send me some back strap. Hell I'd take a ham. Enjoy 😉

When they said alien, they thought they said "illegal alien" and signed up.

Awesome. Was going to mother of God you but apparently we can't use it in this thread. @Lightning Lord Rule can we get a D20 critical roll reaction up in here? Think that's appropriate.

Why are you remodeling your kitchen with IKEA shit? Edit: was catching up, and saw your explanation.

Do you have all the 2e Dark Sun stuff?

Ahhh fuck, I wondered if he was going to review. I do like his unique schtick.

I may have to get one of those. Thanks.

Yeah, don't wipe your eyes or take a piss either when dealing with hot chillies before you washed. I know the not pissing part, but have blinded myself in the past, hehe. Not fun.

No worries. I've been slow rolling what I guess is the last bits of the different quest lines and still exploring. Just building ships and taking it easy. I'm probably at least play one NG+ kind of knowing what's going on and see what happens. I'll definitely go back and read the posts...

That's one of the brands I was trying to remember. All I can think of was a blue label. I concur that is good bacon. Normally you can find a pack that's pretty meaty. HEB sells I think a 2lb pack or so of bacon scraps for 4.50 maybe, and it's all the bunch of off cuts but sometimes you get...

Good food sometimes takes time but that's not to say you can't make a good meal quickly. I think it's one of the reasons I grill as often as I do on gas. I can do my proteins outside at high temps and there's virtually no cleanup. Meanwhile I can have a starch going while I'm preheating and...

That's pretty much what I do, other than a powder butter or a tablespoon of bacon grease to add flavoring to other fats. I will do duck fat with quartered up Yukon golds or red potatoes roasted in the oven, but I haven't bought a tub of that in a while. I do find I get a little bit crispier...

Bacon grease I think is a relatively low smoke point. You normally just add a little bit with some neutral oil to put some flavor with something like canola / vegetable. Same thing with butter, just use them for a bit of additional flavor. Frying potatoes with bacon grease that it was...

Yep you need a lot of fat sitting in there to make it work. You're basically shallow frying the steak. You don't need as much oil if you've got a really well seasoned cast iron pan, but it never hurts to have more. Just a lot of it depends upon how fatty the cut you're cooking is. You're...

It's easy to screw up. That's why cast iron is a bit better than running non-stick. You can get a hell of a lot more heat retention. It's a much tougher with a thinner steak because that immediate threshold of jumping from medium rare to medium to well done is pretty quick, and then you have...

He's right, and something I failed to mention. Think I was talking about pan sauces when it came to butter.

Yeah when you had garlic just have a bulb with it maybe smash it with a flat edge of a knife but don't mince it up. You keep it essentially whole.

Let it rest for 4 or 5 minutes, check what I posted I edited it and added some other stuff. Sorry was thinking out loud.

If you got a head of garlic a bulb or two and if you've got any fresh herbs like thyme or rosemary or something that's all I'm talking about. Just get a good neutral oil in the pan, put your steaks in when the oil is heated , and flip a few times when you start building a crust. Toss in those...

Yeah just pan sear and a ripping hot pan. Or throw them on a gas grill. There's a great looking steaks though. I wish I could find bone-in ribeyes that didn't have any of the meat from the rib trimmed off from the bone. They really remind me of some pork steaks you can get occasionally...

Don't sear and pop in the oven. By the time you get a good crust on a thinner steak you'll go to pop it in and you'll have over cooked it. Just pan sear and flip repeatedly. Even without mushrooms you can still use the pan drippings and fond to make a sauce with onions and whatever else you...

The rice should be wrapped in basil... 😉

That'll work. If you've got a nice big thick ass ribeye a quick sear in cast iron with some aromatics and then toss it in the oven and probe for temp, you should get a decent steak. For something like that the thicker the better. Guess that's why I asked whether or not you were doing a...

I didn't click it but thank you, that's probably a very good explanation as to where I'm at. Thanks, bud.

I played quite a bit yesterday evening and finished Starseed, and was working on the MSQ. Got a quest to go back to the Eye which was weird but whatever, until I'm told to take gay cowboy with me on a mission. Is this a point of no return? Is this what you mentioned @Void ? I know they're...

I know I do talk to text a lot and it's sometimes pretty horrible but man. What exactly are you trying to do? Can you link the recipe? If you have some really nice steaks I probably wouldn't use the oven to roast them unless it's an actual rib roast. You can pan sear, and then finish them...

Use the Oscar Meyer for making baked beans or smothered cabbage or something similar. Just any recipe requiring some bacon / pork fat. Hell, you could do coq au vin with it and I'm sure it'll be fine for that, just not on its own. It's not horrible, but cheap quality compared to the price...

That's why I use foil. I'll also drain, then immediately use that greased up foil to cook potatoes or something. Like you said, it's just easier clean up. Microwave is for reheating bacon. Not that you can't cook in it, but it's perfect for heating up for a BLT or quick breakfast if you have...

@Rajaah Cook bacon on a cookie sheet lined with foil at 300-350. Just check it in 20 minutes or so and may need to flip. Just depends on whether it's gas or electric and how hot your oven gets. When done cooking, drain the rendered oil and use it for something else, like pan fried sliced...

I don't remember the zombie mode in 2, what was that? I used to play multiplayer and back in the day with CDs, we'd install it on everybody's computers at a LAN party. Was always a favorite . When you ran the alien life cycle that was shit. Face hugger insta kill some fucker, but then...

My wife got us a Berkeley after hearing about it somewhere and it's fantastic. Had it for maybe a couple of years now. Only have 2 of the 4 filters, but it's fast enough. There really is a difference in the taste of the water. Little more than I would have paid but I think it's really been...

I have been known to cook one a time or two... I guess it was maybe 5 years ago HEB had a bunch of turduckens on deep discount because nobody was buying them. I think that normally like 50 or 60 bucks but they had them again like $10. It's from a company out of Louisiana that does a couple of...
