    Gravy's Cooking Thread

    Don't overthink it. I cook eggs in a plain ass lodge pan every morning. Nothing sticks to it. There's no reason to use soap in it. Just get it warm enough to melt whatever is on it and then hose it down in the sink and set it back on the burner (turned off) to dry. If it's not shiny you're...

    Steak/pork chops are great in a cast iron skillet. The nice thing about them is they have some weight to them and transfer heat really efficiently so they're great for searing meat. Also good for making corn bread where you heat the pan up in the oven ahead of time and then pour the batter...

    Homesteading and Hobby Farm/Ranch

    I love uncured side pork/pork belly. We have arguments around here because my brother and his wife like their bacon cured and I would rather just have it raw. Slice it about half an inch thick and fry it with some salt... Hand milking is the way to go if you just have one or two cows...

    Westworld

    I liked S1 of Westworld but barely got through S2 and never even thought about watching S3. If they had kept up the level of nudity from S1 though, I would probably still be watching despite the incomprehensible plot and characters that didn't make any sense just because that shit works on me.

    Get a grip Jozu. Jimmy erased any chance of trading him (which was by no means guaranteed in the first place) by deciding to have surgery on his shoulder. The Niners will keep him around until they actually have to start paying him for the season in hopes that some team has an injury during...

    He's so careful talking to the media that I figured he has no personality but I guess they must think differently if they're going to put him on TV like that right out of the gate. I thought Peyton Manning would be way more entertaining than Brady but he hasn't been on much TV since he...

    Smartphones

    Speaking of wireless charging, I have to give props to whoever told me to put the little sticker for it on my phone. I guess the only downside is you have to have a case, but the little $14 sticker thing works exactly like the phone having wireless charging. Can't believe I spent so much...

    My whole family has been using Motorola stuff for years and they seem to like it. The G Power is like $180 and if you just want a phone that does all the phone stuff and has great battery life, that's what it is. I get through the day and night easily with my phone but my brother's G Power can...

    Ozark

    What I came away with is a very nihilistic message. The bad guy always wins and no good deed goes unpunished. Wendy is the villain of the show and she destroys everything around her including her family. Anyone that is "good" is dead at the end. I think Ruth is the embodiment of "good" in...

    Combo meals are all pushing $10 now. If you want 2 big burgers, you're looking at $12. I guess I'll have to try Domino's again. Last time I went there I thought I would rather have a DiGiorno. To be fair, it's about the same price, but since I live way out of town the frozen ones are more...

    A lot of the MVNOs don't seem to work out in the sticks. I tried to go to Mint Mobile instead of T-Mobile (same network) but they wouldn't take me for some reason. Worst part of it is that they got my email and since they rejected me they send me emails all the time going "Check out Mint...

    I switched from Verizon to T-Mobile a year and a half ago. They actually have better coverage in my area than Verizon but that will depend on your location. Just have a single line but I went from $105/month to $70/month for unlimited everything and I have had no regrets.

    No way Probst is going to do anything like that. His job is to ratchet up the drama, not cool it down. It will be interesting to see what the fallout from that tribal is down the line though.

    I used to drink from streams while fly fishing all the time as a kid and never had a problem. I also grew up on a farm so I had a lot of exposure to bacteria from an early age. It's possible that someone who grew up in a spotless house with hand sanitizer on tap and drinking only bottled...

    Apparently the Jets real offer for Deebo was the #9 pick for Deebo and the 49ers 2nd rounder which John Lynch did not consider a serious offer. Tim Kawakami thinks that the dispute is over guaranteed money. Both sides are expecting him to get paid $22-25M/year, but Deebo wants a Tyreek Hill...

    I've been hearing that a trade can't happen until the player passes a physical so it's more or less impossible to do a last minute trade for a player because if the team makes a pick and then the player doesn't pass their physical there's no real way to roll that back. I guess these trades...

    Man, that's a wild offer. Pretty wild if the 9ers turned it down too. Sure would have made the draft a lot more interesting for 49er fans. I wonder if the 49ers realized they couldn't afford blockbuster deals for both Deebo and Bosa this year and that has something to do with them...

    There's also a limit to how many stars you can have on a team too. 9ers are already paying max contracts to George Kittle, Arik Armstead, Fred Warner, Trent Williams, Kyle Juszczyk (granted top fullback money still isn't that much), and soon enough Nick Bosa. You could definitely look at it...
