    Cheap Meals: Eating on a budget.

    It's kind of what I was wondering. Start small, build up a reputation that way you can at least have a backbone to try to sell the product, and maybe hook up with a restaurant or food truck, etc. You could make it a collaboration or whatever the hell, guess just depends upon what relationships...

    Cheap Meals: Eating on a budget.

    Is there anything stopping somebody from just selling whatever at a farmer's market, or to maybe a local restaurant or food truck, or is that depending upon where you live? I've bought wild game from one of our farmers markets that used to be here before kungflu from a lady who basically just...

    Transformers One (2024)

    Wasn't the red and white jet that was a rip off of Macross transformer metal? I never had one but I think I had a friend that did. Don't remember the name of that particular one.

    Cheap Meals: Eating on a budget.

    Hehe, I read that as square foot level standards like you need a big enough building or something. I just worked with restaurants in construction in the past but never an actual food product producer. Part of the times when I do work different businesses I end up chit-chatting the owners and...

    Cheap Meals: Eating on a budget.

    Is it periodic inspections or is it a one-time deal like you do with the department of health when say opening up a restaurant or something? Typically though you get your department of health inspection at least annually, or I guess random if a complaint is lodged against your place of business.

    Cheap Meals: Eating on a budget.

    Do you still have to jump through the FDA hoops if maybe you're already purchasing pre-approved cuts of meat from another purveyor? All it is is using pork butts or pork picnic, various aromatics, and dried spices, and then cryo packing after a brining period. That's literally all it would be...

    Cheap Meals: Eating on a budget.

    Yeah that's why I said it's just a pipe dream. I'm sure I could probably navigate through everything, I just don't personally know a food production business that maybe I could go talk to and get the lay of the land. I thought was this to maybe sort of hurt small and like I said sell it...

    Cheap Meals: Eating on a budget.

    You're making a stripped down version of carnitas. Go the extra mile, and con fit that pork butt in the appropriate spices and aromatics, then you can just pull portions of it out, throw into a air fryer or oven and crisp. It's so easy and tasty. If we go out and get Mexican which is pretty...

    Transformers One (2024)

    Had some of both, but remember getting some sort of gobot tank for Christmas one year that was pretty cool. Weren't gobots diecast metal vs plastic or at least some of them were?

    Atlas

    Man, I'll tell you something, those rap songs that get remixed and smacked upon a trailer always makes me want to watch the movie even more! It's a true sign of a quality film, and that's not even including all the hilarious jokes they make us seem like it'll be a totally fun and radical...

    Furiosa (2024)

    The first one is pretty good, albeit slower. I've been slowly rewatching them over the last couple of weeks, and done the first two. Need to fire up Thunderdome next. I haven't seen the first one in a long time and I found that I enjoyed it much more than I did when I was younger. I guess...

    Furiosa (2024)

    Yeah, kinda sucks. I'm just not excited for it at all. I'll watch it on streaming eventually maybe, but I doubt it's going to get me back in a theater seat. Pretty sure there's a lot of us that feel this way.

    Furiosa (2024)

    I figured you were mentioning it being a world, but if I'm going to watch a mad Max movie I want God damn mad Max in it. Yeah furiosa was a interesting character in that particular movie, but I don't need to see her in another film, I watched that movie for mad Max. I'm guessing Miller is doing...

    Furiosa (2024)

    Therein lies the problem though, it's not really Mad Max. We already know what happens with her and I'm not necessarily super interested in her backstory of strong woman power. I'm sure it'll be an okay movie, but I'm not nearly as jazzed up for it as I was for fury road. To me it's just...

    Cheap Meals: Eating on a budget.

    I couldn't tell you the last time we actually went out to eat. The only time we do is if it's a real pain in the butt for me to get whatever ingredients and cook something that is more of a chore, even if I know I can do it. For instance fried Chicken. I'll go get some Popeyes, that's not...

    Cheap Meals: Eating on a budget.

    I do most of the cooking, and I've been getting the wife to do a lot of vegetable prep and certain sides, but when we cook which is pretty much all week, apart from leftovers, or either visiting in the kitchen when we're doing different tasks, or if I'm in there by myself I'm typically listening...

    Cheap Meals: Eating on a budget.

    Haha. Hey I don't need to eat that stuff everyday, but I do appreciate it. We just wanted something different because I was eating it for a few days prior with the shrimp stir fry. The noodles actually really turned out well. I threw some ginger, garlic, soy, and sesame oil in the water with...

    So been wanting to cook with the new wok, and had more veggies to use up and some chicken thighs on sale. Ended up doing another stir fry. Not really following a recipe but I just use what I've got I'm kind of blend different flavors from I guess Japanese and Chinese or whatever. Velveted...

    Trap (2024)

    I was thinking about that myself. Like the last thing I saw him in was Penny dreadful, which for a goofy TV show I actually enjoyed, and he was pretty good in that. Shalammadammadingdong hasn't been hitting it out of the park, but his last few movies were at least interesting, and he seem to...

    Cheap Meals: Eating on a budget.

    I do something pretty similar with potatoes instead of noodles. Always smothered cabbage and ham hock, too, especially to go with beans or black eyed peas. Good cold weather dishes. Now that it's warmer I keep it around for tacos and slaws. We make an Asian sort salad with it, carrots...

    Cheap Meals: Eating on a budget.

    We did cheap stir fry last night. Most expensive item was the shrimp, but that was on sale for I think $4 a pound frozen. Wish I would have gotten more. Used up some carrots, bell pepper, onion, cabbage we had in the fridge,and added some broccoli. The wife got a pound of mushrooms for 50%...

    In all honesty I'm pretty surprised of how good it seems. It's pretty beefy, and the preseason coating is surprisingly good. I told my wife I'm making Mongolian beef this week. I'm very happy with the purchase, despite it being more than I really wanted to spend.

    I'm excited as hell. Think I'm going to pick up a flank steak and do Mongolian beef this week. It looks really well preseasoned. Will probably fire it up out on the gas grill and get that good wok-a I think it was 80 bucks, which isn't exactly cheap but I'm very impressed with just the fit...

    Don't think I need it to be as late as nimble as a carbon steel. I think I'm going to be able to make some really good stir fry with it. It's going to be good, I will make certain to share photos of send meals.

    @Lanx my new wok arrived. However I was sitting outside a smoking a cigar and drinking a cocktail, and a jogger delivered it and he got weirded out because I was sitting out on my front porch, and he had to take a picture of it being delivered. I figured you might appreciate something that...

    Fallout

    Sorry my damn phone was being weird. Those are all extremely fun movies and I thought were pretty faithful to the games. You could even say the resident evil movie at least the first one was pretty good as well. Just all three of those are fun, and super Mario Brothers was surprisingly clever...

    Dune: Part Two (2023)

    It's one of my top five films. Probably watched it close to 100 times, who wants my favorite movie is a kid and the reason I bought all the comic books regarding the mythos. You've got trekkies or weird Star Wars people that hell bent on that universe, aliens and predator was my jam. I don't...

    Dune: Part Two (2023)

    I know this might be a little bit off topic, but I still have a place in my heart for the David Lynch version, and I guess Oliver Harper ended up doing a retrospective on that version and I really do enjoy his deep dives into older movies. Figured some of you guys might enjoy it. Still the...

    Cheap Meals: Eating on a budget.

    Maybe but I think I read about that particular cut on serious eats possibly. I just remember seeing something that talked about it being as tender as filet mignon, but a hell of a lot cheaper so i started buying it, I was very happy with the results I was getting. Most of the time I cooked it...
