@mkopec you posted that recipe and I wondered about my cookbooks which ones had clam chowder. Pulled out some of them and they really vary quite a bit. Some are also lobster or fish but I would imagine you could easily substitute clams. Same goes if anyone is hunting recipes. I don't even...

Yeah I use better than bouillon, and it is perfectly fine. The wife actually got me over a dozen of these for a buck each on clearance, normally $4 a pop. I think she bought every one of them they had on the clearance rack. They're fantastic for sauces or whatever other dish requiring stock...

I do a lot of aromatics when I boil potatoes for mashing or whatever. Will normally throw maybe a clover to a garlic or do a bouquet garney of whatever herbs I have on hand. It doesn't typically overpower the flavor of the potatoes but it just adds a subtle difference. I could see you...

I don't necessarily know if it's the downfall of civilization. I find it to be more of a knees too sharp deal. At the end of the day if you use something like a cream of whatever soup as an ingredient, and the dish turns out fine and everybody enjoys it, who the hell cares. If it's good food...

I'll be honest I just looked at the ingredient list and didn't really deep dive into the whole thing like you did. I was feeling it's best to stay away from goofy food blogs trying to tell a story where I just want to know what the fuck is in the recipe, and I don't care about your journey and...

There was a time back in the late '80s early 90s where it was all about them trying to eat healthy and they had all these dumbass recipes and shit from cookbooks or meal plans they were following. Thank God it only lasted maybe 5 years or so. They finally came around and started cooking like...

Fucking margarine. My dad and my stepmom had giant tubs of country Crock all the time, and I never used butter because butter is bad. On the other hand mom always cooked with butter as did my grandmother, and that's what I use. I don't think I've ever bought a tub of that stuff. It just...

How much do you typically use? Also it wasn't a back in the 80s and I guess maybe early 90s where there was a big hullabaloo about MSG and stay away from any food that had it? At least that's what I remember when it was demonized.

Do you use it for most Asian dishes that you make? Do you also use it for whatever other types of food you might be making? How much do you typically use at a time? I honestly don't really know much about when it's appropriate. Typically if I want more umami or drive that taste or whatever...

Haha, never looked at the ingredients before. That stuff truly is in everything. Do you keep a bottle around? I've seen a lot of recipes that always call for it, and I don't think it's supposed to be as bad for you as it was once touted.

I think it's just to cover your celery aromatic. I haven't made it in a long time, but sometimes I'll add crawfish or oysters and use the Trinity with a bit of the pope. Not traditional but it's makes for a nice seafood chowder. Guess you could use mussels too, sans shell. Hell, even use a...

I don't think there's anything wrong with using it as an ingredient along with other stuff. Hell, look at traditional green beans casserole. It's not fancy, but it tastes good. Sure you can make it fancy and not use cream of whatever, but doesn't mean it's not enjoyable. Think a lot of...

Looks pretty normal to me. Doesn't have a rue, but I guess the cream of celery and potatoes will thicken it fine. Looks like it's supposed to be just quick and easy, but it's not like clam chowder is hard to make anyway.

Was going to say, I think I'd rather just re-listen to red right hand, or all of the murder ballads album, but you kind of beat me to the punch.

That's what it was called. I couldn't remember what it was because I watched it when I was laid up after my accident and doped out of my mind with nothing to do but a watch TV or movies on an iPad. It was a pretty decent show though, I want to say it took place in Iceland or something. Second...

Maybe, I don't really know, just always used it for some reason probably because I just had it on hand, and it always turned out good. They're definitely is a benefit of using a really good evoo for things like dressings where when it's the focus you can definitely tell the difference between...

You can do lower temp frying with it. I shallow fry with it at times, but I never push it above 350-360. Use it for things like schnitzel, pork chops, etc.

The research team at the facility will have found or discovered an ancient virus from one of their core samples from another period of life. Upon being exposed to it, it spreads fast and drives them crazy, and makes them follow some sort of herd mentality, to where they kill themselves like...

So I'm watching this before I cook dinner, and the part where they do the Oscar montage for the pornstar from danzig's previous film. That's honestly one of the most hilarious things they've done so far. It's funny because it's probably true.

Went to go look it up because it was bugging me: I guess it could make you shit yourself, too.

Yeah, that wasn't too bad of a found footage horror movie. I listened to a book called Dead Mountain a number of years ago about the incident, and the author's theory was a certain type of sound wave made by the wind and the shape of the mountain drove the hikers crazy. Forget what the...

I'm pretty sure they actually screwed with the experience curve, but like others have said they run events where it might be double XP. I think you can also switch a setting to give you more experience but you get less rewards or something. Sorry it's been a while since I've logged in.

Yep. I'm not very good at baking. I mean I can follow the instructions and stuff and it'll typically turn out well, but I don't have the ability to create my own version of a cake or something, I just don't know the ratios between flower, sugar, fats, and stuff. Cooking times and temps are a...

Looks pretty tasty. You're right, baking is a bitch. Everything has to be so exact and one wrong step can spell disaster. It's still worth the hassle though.

Yeah I figured by the summer sale most of the bugs will hopefully be ironed out and it'll be on discount by then, plus there might be some additional content.

It was pretty dark in the theater when we saw it, but the funniest theater experience was when a group of us watched the Samuel L Jackson Shaft remake. Black guy in this woman comes and sits right in front of us and he was wearing those gold Elvis style glasses. The entire time one chapter was...

Yeah, a lot of their recipes are rock solid. I know if we make homemade biscuits we use their layering method for the dough with a ton of butter and oh my God they're pretty fantastic. Little bit more work but that's why I make the wife make them at times on the weekend. She probably knows...

The croissants really add a another level of richness to the dish. My mom used to make one that had masticated cherries and I think almonds and amaretto, but also had this vanilla cream sauce where you used the whole vanilla bean. The tartness of the cherries really plays well with the creamy...

Hell yeah it is. I've got more alts and just goofy characters I've made trying to do some fun concept and that really is the highlight of the game. Friends and I would always make weird themed guilds. When everything got fired back up we made the Church of Scientology. But he played a...

Is it worth picking up right now, or wait for some patches and a sale? I had planned on getting it during Christmas because I figured at least they'd knock off 5 or 10 bucks during the steam sale but that didn't happen.

Probably some type of bread pudding. It's so versatile, and as long as you know how to make a custard you can use whatever bread you got on hand, and any other sweet ingredients. A lot of the times during Christmas I'll do a bananas Foster bread pudding and I'll use croissants. I've done it...

Fucking Wesley Snipes was born for the role. Hell I remember the second one, seeing it with a couple of friends, and he does the cheesy catch the sunglasses at the end when he's all juiced up and about to fight all the vampires, it was a laugh riot but so awesome. Total schlock but I will say...

Went that summer with a handful of buddies back in college to see the original. It was summertime and we were just looking for something to do, but little did we know how wonderful of a movie it was going to be. At that time it was pretty amazing, and that famous line at the end of the film...

Paxton and Hoffman? Think I saw in the theater on a movie date with some chick back in high school.

That's pretty awesome.

Honestly don't know what the hell that God damn bowl is. Is it fucking salad spinner for rice? Again I don't think you necessarily need to have something that goddamn Goofy, but to each their own. It's a free country and if you want to do a bunch of weird shit to cook your rice food or...

I knowwww, that's why I thought maybe I was going to beat ya. The video is up for only 45 minutes or so when I found it, and I know that if it's an hour or more there's no chance in hell. That's not as if I hadn't been quick on the draw in the past, but it's still fun just to be able to laugh...

You fucker, I thought I'd beat you this time! You are the fastest RLM gun in the West.
