    Tube steel if you can find it in that dimension. What exactly are you wanting the rebar type rods for?

    You're probably right. It's something I've been trying to work on. Hey at least if you eat at my house the food will be good and you'll get plenty of it. I think it really just comes down to by the time I get done cooking a big meal, I'm just ready to eat and don't care about trying to make...

    Yeah that's probably a no-go here in Houston. I checked some Asian markets because sometimes they'll have different produce that you typically can't find at a place like HEB or Trader Joe's. Maybe they sell it at whole foods but I won't step into that shit hole just on sheer principle.

    Man that's awesome. I know they grow in certain States or regions but I don't think they grow here in Texas. Apparently you can just go and harvest as much as you want when they're growing them if you can find the patches. When do you normally harvest it? When I was living in Charleston at...

    That stuff's tough to find. I've had in a few times but that's always been at a restaurant. The other thing is ramps. I think it's supposed to be a natural or wild garlic green and they grow in a very specific season I think during the spring, but they're supposed to be delicious. I've never...

    Arugula... I just like bitter greens with a rich alfredo sauce. I do go kind of heavy-handed on it, but it tastes good, and always Spritz a little bit of lemon juice and maybe a drizzle of olive oil on it to make sort of a pseudo salad.

    Made surf and turf pasta last night for a late Valentine's. Grilled shrimp, scallops, lobster, with pappardelle and Alfredo sauce. Kind of became a tradition to do a seafood pasta of some sort since I met the wife. First meal I ever cooked for, and it's sort of evolved over the years based...

    B&B actually has a cylindrical charcoal like that now, I think it's maybe 25 bucks a bag or something. It's obviously not the same wood, but I think it's supposed to be long burning and clean. I saw it at academy the last time I had popped in there, and debated on picking up a bag, but opted...

    You can do small quantities of things but don't plan on grinding all of your bits and pieces from a deer carcass, or making 20 lb of sausage. It's okay for maybe grinding up a chuck roast to make fresh burger meat or something, but like @lurkingdirk said, you're better off running a dedicated...

    Actually I've looked at getting a hibachi and the appropriate coal to do what is it teppanyaki? It's that Japanese grilled chicken on skewers. If you do pick one up I'd appreciate a report. Edit: yakitori is what I meant. Saw a pretty cool video not too long ago of a famous Japanese...

    The Red Letter Media Appreciation Thread

    I figured they probably would considering I guess it's the last season. I don't watch the show but I've watched the reviews just because they're entertaining, and after watching said reviews, it seems like I dodged a bullet. Looking forward to the sadness and outrage the two of them have.

    Destiny 2 - Clan Link 1st Post

    There's some guy on YouTube that covers the story / lore in a similar way to that guy who does Warhammer. His videos are actually pretty good, and if you want to figure out what the hell's going on it's a good place to start. I think his name is Byf or something.

    I wonder if they'll cover all of the black on black crime back in the '90s of shooting joggers over their shoes? I guess Hollywood really is intellectually bankrupt at this point. I don't know maybe they're ironically pointing out Nike and their slave labor, and it's horrible influence over...

    Farscape

    Episode 20 was just posted earlier today of the first season on that channel you posted. It and the prior episode are two of the best ones out of the entire series where Scorpius is introduced, and it sets up everything for the rest of the series. It really is such a great show. I guess I'm...

    I thought about watching it but I saw the trailer and I'm just kind of ehhhhh. I think is I've gotten older I just don't care for movies like that. I watched the first John wick movie but I have no earthly desire to watch the other four or five or whatever the hell. It really is the bread and...

    The Last of Us

    I guess I find it fascinating because Bob ended up becoming such a huge hit and David Cross is still in the mix, but hasn't seen near the success as his cohort. I guess this biggest thing was arrested development which I never really watched but I know he's in there.

    Dude watch them all there literally the best. I used to record them on VHS when they would pop up at midnight on HBO back when I was in the high school. Such a wonderful show, and I guess that's why it's called... Mr.Show.....

    That's the one. It's a hell of a knife but the blade feels delicate when I go to cut things. That's why I only use it for very fine work. I don't trust it to sit there and actually chop through something because it feels like the damn edge is going to break off. It feels like a perfect sushi...

    Now that I think about it I think I have the 10-in. It's the big one. Sorry for some reason I thought it was a standard 8 inch chef's knife since that seems to be the standard for most other brands.

    I've got decent knife skills but I'm nowhere near that guy. Man I looked up that that misono knife he was using, hopefully thinking it was like a victorinox or something in that price range, and immediately got sticker shock. I got a handful of decent knives, but sometimes it's hard for me...

    This can give you a start: I'll sit down and think about it a bit more, but it's really just learning how to make a proper emulsification with vinegar and oil. The real cheat is always to put just a bit of mustard which will keep your dressing from breaking. If you want it little sweeter...

    I see your point. I guess the happiest ending out of all of the first six books to me is probably Red Country. Temple and Shy and the kids end up at least making a family, and being somewhat happy in comparison to all of the other characters from the other books. I do agree with Beck having...

    Yeah I think that really has to do with the machines and the amount of air they incorporate, and also the temperatures the machines freeze it at. I think I remember seeing something about commercial ice cream basically being 50% air or something. Gelato has way less, and that's how you get...

    It's all about how hard and fast you can freeze it, and the ratios of sugar to dairy. The harder the freeze you can get and the quicker, the smaller the ice crystals, and the smoother the texture. Gelato has a very specific texture because of the recipe but also the specific machines they used...

    Really, how so? Was there a particular book? I never necessarily felt I needed a break after reading them, but sometimes they didn't end the way I expected them to. I always felt at least I got some sort of closure though by the end of the different novels. Although, I guess I feel kind of...
