    Gravy's Cooking Thread

    I've used one, and it was pretty good. Not as good as deep frying, but a pretty close second. That said, I don't have one, and I don't think I'd use it much.

    College Football 2018-2019 Season

    It's a difficult thing, but I'm cheering for Michigan today because as much as I like to see them lose, I like to see Florida lose more. I'm nervous for the Irish tonight. They're a good team, I hope they can take the pressure of tonight.

    Whats rustling your jimmies?

    No TV or radio available during family dinners. Just food falling out of their mouths back on to their plates because their mouth is so open when chewing.

    And yet, it is entirely possible. Dinner at home tonight with my family was so great.

    Okay, just making sure I wasn't missing something. Into the second episode now. I'm kind of enjoying it, though I'm finding the weird Klingons distracting.

    Star Trek: Discovery

    Okay, I'm super late to this party, but my kids bought me the first season of this for Christmas, and I'm watching the first episode now. I have questions. The biggest one is why is everything so different, and why are the Klingons so different?

    Gravy's Cooking Thread

    I've now done Gordon Ramsay's turkey recipe a few times, and it always comes out pretty good (as good as turkey can be). But the real star of the show is if you make the turkey gravy like he says to - using apple cider. That gravy is incredibly delicious, and turns your potatoes into the best...

    Whats rustling your jimmies?

    To be clear, I know I'm quite sensitive to this, but my in-laws chew so much with their mouth open that food falling out of their mouths is a regular occurrence. My kids, who are not sensitive to this, commented on the way home that their grandma/grandpa/cousins/uncles/aunts are really quite...

    Whats rustling your jimmies?

    Yeah, I know this. The other side of things is that it's fucking inconsiderate. Honestly, who do you think gets up in the morning and says, "You know what I want to hear today? People orally processing their food. That sounds awesome." We may be twins separated at birth.

    Whats rustling your jimmies?

    My fucking inlaws. In general they are great, and we get along great. However, they are collectively the most fucking disgusting eaters in the fucking world. I have had to leave every meal we've had together. The option was say something nasty to them or leave. The trouble is, I'm two rooms...

    Yeah, that shit sucks. It continues to suck until they get to an age where you can actually have reasonable conversations about language. That seems to be about 13 or so. That's when my kids really started being aware of the words they were using and what impact they might have on others. Now...

    Packages and the delivery of them/stolen etc

    All my driving kids know manual transmission. They drive it regularly. Sucks to teach them, but I think it's a good thing.

    I learned to drive in an old Lada three on the tree. What a piece of shit that was!

    Packages and the delivery of them/stolen etc

    The best vehicle theft deterrent is a manual transmission. No one who is stealing cars knows how to drive one.

    Whats rustling your jimmies?

    Fuck this. Close friends of mine have a son who has been battling cancer for four years. Chemo was the only thing keeping him alive. Three months ago they ran out of treatment options. There was simply no more they could do - and holy fuck did they do a lot. Three months was it. He died. This...

    You pretty much get robbed any time you shop at Whole Foods.

    Packages and the delivery of them/stolen etc

    We never get their packages. It's a street that starts with the same letters and has similar letters afterward, even though it is totally different words. I've reported this to UPS countless times, too. They don't care.

    Packages and the delivery of them/stolen etc

    We have a different issue. There's a house about a couple miles from us that has exactly the same street address, and a similarly named street, and our packages get delivered there sometimes. The issue is, we know those people, and they never bloody let us know. They just keep the packages...

    Last time I changed my front tire I strapped a few cement blocks to the back end of the bike and did it on the center stand. I guess that's not cool.
