That's it. If it's a well-written character that's believable and the audience can empathize with, I don't really care about their gender or whatever, just make them likable. As goofy as Stephen King has become, I've read his On Writing book a couple of times, and his one real tenant is you...

I think people complain when it just gets shoehorned in, especially when they're poorly we characters. It's never bothered me that Ripley was the protagonist and the first two movies, and the same goes with Sarah Connor. What's more annoying though is when all of these idiots out there women...

Looks like a fun popcorn flick. I did enjoy his last movie The Covenant. Richie's definitely puts out decent movies. Probably wait for streaming though.

Well that's actually very nice of you and that's what community is supposed to be about. Yeah his son should have probably taken him but the fact that you were willing to offer the service says a lot about your character. Used to be used to help out your neighbors or community whenever...

Haha, I really don't want to think about having to get another eye exam anytime soon. I'm blind as a bat without them. My problem is our location functions for all of the Woodlands and so it's soccer mom City, and you dare not go there during the weekends. I've been either Costco's in the...

I just hate shopping there. Yeah, there are deals to be had, but our location is a royal shit show. It's hard for me to leave there without wanting to murder someone.

I don't know if it necessarily made more sense but it was supposed to be more almost religious in tone, and somehow lumped Jesus who was an engineer into the whole deal and the reason the engineers were going to Nuke Earth was because space Jesus was killed. If the stuff about the original...

How many of the crew do you think will be gay or trans? I'm guessing at least two maybe 3. Could be the android is androgynous. I'll admit, I'd enjoy a faithful series in the universe, but as others have said, I just don't think Hollywood has the capacity to capture what made the original...

Yeah, we're only buying it when it's on sale typically, and even then the prices are stupid, well, like everything else. My parents did the same thing with always saving the grease, as did my grandparents. They always had a jar of it on the counter, and I've always done the same. HEB does...

Yeah, that's the one.

Post the results. Was thinking about it, kind of reminds me of that clay style pot that you see in Indian cuisine or maybe Moroccan. I don't remember what they're called. Probably wouldn't make a really good roast chicken unless you pop the top off towards the end to get the skin crispy...

Like most things built way back in the day it's probably really good. I'd clean it up and give it a go with a nice roast chicken or something. That's pretty cool though.

I'll see you at high noon @McQueen ...

Yeah that's the beauty of both of those recipes is I pretty much have everything on hand. Always have green onions in the fridge because by using constantly, and typically have a pound or two of ground beef floating around in the freezer, but all of the different Asian sauces and ingredients...

Think I have everything on hand for that. Kind of remember seeing that recipe now that I think about it. Should make a nice easy weekday meal here soon. I just watch so much cooking stuff I try to remind myself I need to make something in the future but then I forget about it. Thank you, sir.

Post your recipe if you don't mind. Looks great.

It's such a versatile dessert, and you don't really need to have many things on hand to make one taste good. Plus the benefit of using old French bread and like you were saying earlier if you've got leftover homemade bread I'm sure it'll be even better. You can use up old or frozen fruit, just...

I think "man" is being a little too generous...

I agree that it would make for good stuffing, except the fruit. The wife does, but just doesn't work for me. I don't like bits of it in a savory dish, don't mind it for a glaze / sauce or marinade though. Pretty sure a lot of medieval recipes always had fruit in them. The way I look at...

I'll cut it with some other old french bread or whatever is on hand if we make it. Usually add green onion, mushrooms, celery, parsley too. I never cared for it as a kid, but for some reason it's grown on me. Probably MSG at work. We maybe make it twice a year. Tried the pepperidge Farms...

You should invent one and then maybe gadget freaks will buy it on Amazon. Think about it, who better to build a kitchen gadget empire!

Risotto is definitely more time consuming. Have to toast, constantly stir, laddle your hot liquid, etc. I think I usually follow Kenjis method and it's never steered me wrong. It's worth the effort and I'll typically make wild mushroom risotto when I do duck or pheasant, but it's a special...

I've always just made it with heavy cream, butter, and a combo of Parmesan and Pecorino Romano. I've seen where you can add an egg yolk to help emulsify some, but haven't tried it. Start reducing cream, add cold butter, toss in cheese in portions, constantly stirring. Add pasta, and doesn't...

I do love veal though. Don't remember the last time I've had it.

I've not done lemon in mashed potatoes, but when we do Greek chicken, I'll throw a lemon halves and a bulb of garlic, oregano or rosemary in with the potatoes we're roasting under the bird. All the fat and juices help spread that lemon flavor. Splash of white wine and chicken stock at the end...

What with Alfred gives you trouble?

I was just more curious if it seemed legit and how it was built. I'm sure those dipshits are making a mint off of doing dumb shit like that on YouTube, though. I don't think I watch anything of that nature, but apparently there are millions upon millions of people that do. It's just goofy...

Looked it up, 40k. Wouldn't make a bad little hunting / fishing cabin if you had utilities. Also, who the fuck are those retards? Chery Industrial Expandable Prefab House 19ft x 20ft,Exquisitely Designed Modern Villa Prefab House for Live,Work https://a.co/d/906e904

Just looks like more shit to break and not be able to repair, so you replace after a year or two. We've got one of the little electric kettles with different temps. Heats fast and still going strong after maybe 6 years or so.

Yeah it's definitely for weekend meals, special occasions. We got a sauces book from the library sometime last year that I think had been a textbook from someone going to culinary school. Has lots of penciled annotations throughout. It's pretty daunting but the layout is great and it breaks...

Hah, I bought a copy of the barbecue Bible from half price books back in college. That's a pretty good one. How's the French feast one?

I can agree with that. I know when I've done shortcuts or whatever and people have asked how I made something, I just tell them what I did. I guess with the whole internet food blogger YouTube bullshit, for every good recipe or informative video there are 10 others that are just atrocious...

I followed some recipe I saw I think on YouTube for just making cake where you use the pre-box stuff but then you can also add sour cream that gives you a moisture texture and a little bit of tartness. You still had to use oil. I guess the buttermilk is being used in the same manner. That...

I don't know much about baking but pretty you got to have oil or at least some type of fat in your cake batter. I think the pre-made boxes is basically all of the dry ingredients measured out where you just dump it and then all you add is the wet stuff like fat and eggs. I think there are cake...

I don't fucking know. A recipe is a recipe, whether it's a good one or not. Pretty simple. I'm not quite sure what the situation is but maybe it's because I'm a simple person and I follow the stuff on the Betty crocker box sometimes.

So let me ask you a question what specifically constitutes a recipe. My view on it is you got a list of ingredients, you got a handful of steps you have to follow to use set ingredients, follow the instructions and you have a dish that results from it. I mean that's a goddamn recipe. Doesn't...

Yeah our collection is grown since my wife goes and volunteers at our local library for a couple of hours once a week. All kinds of interesting stuff comes in and typically she'll bring home cookbooks for me for maybe a buck or two a piece. Hell I think I posted it before but I've gotten...
