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...

I forget sometimes who posts them outside of McQueen. I know there's a smattering of the rest of us, but he's that legendary fast draw, I mean he's been quick even when he's taking a dump.

I guess, but you know what the climax will be, he'll get his hockey mask at the end. I'm more curious as to whether or not whoever made those had to get rights to the Friday the 13th stuff and what the back end of the production might be. If it's on Shudder, I'll check it out but I don't...

Oooo, a new gun in town, look out @McQueen !

Yeah but you haven't seen a ton of facehuggers chasing after the crew of a spaceship or a team of Marines. I mean did you see all those facehuggers, it was a lot! I mean I don't think I've ever seen that many in one place before, I'm not sure to be frightening. Plus it looks like there was a...

Edit, wrong thread.

That's the very last movie I saw, too. Was the only person in an IMAX matinee. Haven't been back since.

Pretty sure she was the Evangelical mom and Donnie Darko that was the sparkle dance team teacher or whatever.

Maybe that's what I was thinking of, I just knew there was something that the guys on various fishing channels on YouTube I watch wax poetic about. I don't have any electronics, but I also don't have a boat, just a couple of kayaks. I've never decided to get even a small system for either of...

I think they're supposed to be good. Don't really have much experience with anything but some of the older hummingbirds. I think the new craze is front facing imaging or something. Maybe it's side mapping, don't remember. No clue if that's pretty standard or just on higher end units...

I use that same stuff in all my shelves. I hear you though, and I kind of got into the point where I have very specific cookware for different applications and I've gotten it down to just a handful of different things that I use all the time. I just use the wok for stir fry and shallow frying...

Trust me I tried to deglaze using every trick in the book, and it wasn't working. I think though w ok was just shot. Doing that screwed up the fried rice I was making, and I guess that's what I kind of realized I needed to switch over to a new one. I think it's just boils down to the...

I guess that's why the non-stick stuff has always worked out well. I had that deal for maybe four or five years, but I made fried rice the other day and it was just sticking like never before, I don't typically have that problem. I understand sometimes cooking implements don't last you a...

Yeah, I was just trying to see if I could find a solution that was non-stick and holds up to high heat. Again I just don't want to have to screw around with maintaining a seasoning for something I don't screw around with much. I'm not Oriental, and I pull out the wok maybe once a month. All...

Gas stove. And I think of Viking 14-in Teflon and it lasted for a good long time and did a pretty good job. But also take it out and use it on the grill for higher temps and I think maybe that's where it shit the bed. I just didn't know if there was new technology in coatings like ceramics to...

DP Who is your carrier?

Typically three trades or more is the industry standard for overhead and profit which is 10% on both. There's no law that states that but that's just kind of how the industry, and I have to fight that stuff all the time because there's a GC, I always have overhead and profit because I'm subbing...

You need to go back to your adjuster and have them actually itemize out a scope for the project via xactimate. That's lazy BS when an adjuster tells you to go get three estimates. You can conceivably can get raked over the coals via change orders because it's a renovation, and if the...

Holy shit I never realized that was her.

Yeah this would have been back in the early 90s, maybe late '80s. I think they got it from a gas station. We did go undefeated That season and then ended up winning the City championship for whatever that League was. Shit was a lot of fun when you were young. Hadn't thought about that stuff...

When I played football as a kid, the city League I was in because I want to a private Catholic School, had a parade every Mardi Gras. The teams would make a float. Somehow we got a life-size cardboard cutout of Elvira that we had attached to this giant Ryder truck. I think it was from a...

I don't think there's anything like that nowadays other than Joe Bob Briggs bringing back the last drive in on Shudder. Hell I remember watching Elvira presents. Things were just so much better when we were young.

We had Morgus The Magnificent in New Orleans. I remember getting into meet him at some sort of festival or Mardi Gras event as a kid. He used to do fundraisers and stuff and a lot of community related things. Pretty cool stuff.
