    Gotta wash your rice like a jogger washes they's chicken, no-wha-i-meen! Keeping it real. I do know washing your rice is good, but you don't need a fucking specific bowl for it. Just use a goddamn fine mesh colander.

    Might be, but I think if you go to the homecoming forum or website there should be a sticky post with whatever their current instructions are and probably links to download tequila.

    Yeah, that's pretty socker mom shit. Went to a dinner party one time and this Jewish couple brought a hot reuben dip. Was served with toasted rye bread crostini's. It was actually pretty good, but I think I brought a Boston butt or maybe a couple of racks of ribs. If you're going to go and...

    I don't believe so. A buddy of mine who I played the game with sent that to me this morning, and that was his first thought on the matter. Neither of us could think of another example of this happening. Good for them and us fans of the game. I haven't logged on in a while, but I believe...

    Nonstick pot, 2 - 1 ratio water to rice, oil / butter, add any aromatics, bring to boil, stir once, set to simmer, cover. Do not stir or touch . You can take the handle of a wooden spoon and just poke holes in the top of the rice when starts to set up to help release moisture. When you don't...

    We made a variation of this last year. Had a big chunk of homemade porchetta in the freezer that I needed to find a use for, so used that for the pork fat with some spicy Italian sausage. Also added few different types of white beans which I like in soups to accompany the potatoes. Think we...

    Farscape

    Video popped up from Rowan J Coleman for Farscape. He does some pretty interesting retrospectives on older science fiction series. Pretty in-depth normally, and well crafted. I just find them enjoyable to hear about the history of how some of these shows were made. They're always pretty long...

    That was late very 80s or early 90s wasn't it?. I'm pretty sure I had a full set of the first series back in the days of riding your bike up to the comic book store. You traded with your friends so everybody had a full set.

    Don't remember the brand I have. Think I got it from academy. Maybe B&B. It's been alright for throwing a little smoke flavor on whatever I'm making, especially if it's something more delicate like fish.

    Guess it's just the nature of the smoke produced by pellets vs wood? I've got a couple bags of pellets I picked up on clearance and will toss them into one of those little wood chip boxes sometimes, or maybe on top of my coals, but I'm always using chunks of wood, too.

    Rosemary or thyme are fine. Just go easier with rosemary because it can overwhelm quickly. I'd probably just roll with thyme and a clove or two of garlic with salt and pepper.

    We always make a hot seafood dip, cheese board, raw veggies and other hors d'oeuvres. Normally it's all lump crab, but fuck paying 30 for a pint, shits over double what it used to be a few years ago. Got a smaller container of pasteurized vs the fresh, and supplemented with crawfish tails...

    Yeah I would imagine if you're up in those higher ranks like that, you've always got to be on your A game, and a misplay can spell disaster. That and it's safe to assume everybody else if those ranks are going to be pretty good players. Sounds like it's kind of a neat deal though. I'm...

    What exactly is Alchemy? I pretty much played just historic, and I think the time pioneer was the next thing that was maybe going to get implemented. Is it just a different set list or something?

    Holy shit that's pretty crazy. I'm guessing there were a lot of folks running those types of decks? I imagine it'd be a hell of a lot of fun though.

    It has begun! Got a little bit of a late start, but hopefully this turns out like I'm planning. Figure maybe a couple of hours and it gives me plenty of time to get all the rest of sides going. Hope everybody else's meals are turning out great this year.

    Did they bring back the power 9 cards for something? I haven't kept up Arena for a few years, so no clue about sets and stuff they released.

    I don't care for this stupid channel, but here's a good example of how he typically was in interviews. Again I don't really give a shit, if he's going to go play secret submarine, whatever. Him playing the game with Aston was just weird, and he seemed kind of fruity, hence why I asked if he...

    He just seemed more effeminate then I've seen him during previous interviews. Whatever, I don't keep up with celebrities so that's why I was asking.

    Fair enough, I don't know much about the guy he just really seen gay in the that video. Lindsey Graham I think married with kids, but we know the ladybugs fly around freely.

    Did Frodo come out of the closet recently? I've seen interviews with him in the past, but he never seemed that gay before, always pretty normal. I guess that's showbiz.

    Warhammer 40K: Rogue Trader (CRPG)

    Starfield was fun, Diablo sucked. Still have to take everything with a grain of salt unfortunately. I think he still tries to give everything a relatively Fair shake versus a lot of other reviewers, and he's also not obnoxious with his format telling stupid jokes the whole time.

    Warhammer 40K: Rogue Trader (CRPG)

    Yeah, it wasn't as glowing of a review as I thought he might give. He's pretty honest about games, guess that's why I watch his stuff. I'm sure it's fun, but I'll probably do the same and hold off for a sale maybe next summer.

    Thought about busting out the Anova, but I don't think you get the same deep beef flavors if you slow roasted at a low temp. I know sous vide will cook it perfectly and then all I got to do is sear but it's just not the same. I'll be honest I just don't sous vide much any longer, when I can...

    That sounds like a delicious menu, asshole 😉. Damnit, I really wanted to do goose this year but I couldn't get one of the store, so I shifted gears and settled for the rib roast. I was honestly surprised they didn't have any but maybe they only got a few in and sold them out. I don't believe...

    If you've got some leftovers, chop the chicken into bites / slices, throw in a bowl with a tablespoon of water, toss a plate on top, microwave for maybe 30-40 secs and toss onto a nice salad. That's an easy way to salvage overcooked chicken breast. The moisture and texture of the vegetables...
