I'm having lunch at Taco Bell tomorrow. So shall it be. I'll report back.

Unfortunately, online plumbing parts for yard irrigation are always a lot cheaper than anything you get in a store. It's just plain true. No one can stock every part for every irrigation system, but someone online specialises in just what you need. Double check that it's connected to your hot...

Nuclear power may have the fewest fatalities, but what of the byproduct that comes of it? We have to store it safely for about 10,000 years, yes? That's pretty bloody costly energy.

You know, I have never eaten at a Taco Bell. I'm not often in the mood for Mexican food, somehow. Maybe I should give Taco Bell a go sometime.

That's odd. We always turn the heated dry off on our dishwasher - it wastes energy, as it gets so hot during the wash cycle that everything (besides tupperware) gets totally dry without a drying cycle. One potential problem is your water temperature. Not to sound like a dick, but are you sure...

Bullshit. I get a lot of rendered fat from the Christmas goose every year. It keeps very well in the freezer, good for months. Using that instead of butter is no never mind.

Bro. do you even eye roll?

Yup. That'll teach him.

Ban can't be permanent. They don't do that around here. He'll be back. Larger than life.

Sheesh, this is crap. The whole boy band thing is crap. A very famous produce once said that boy bands will stop being popular when God stops making little girls. If that didn't create other problems, I'd wish it so.

If the Habs could use their speed to their advantage, they would win. They're a fast, strong team. If they could bring that to the power play, they'd score every time. What is the deal? Why can't they connect? I'm not overly optimistic about them advancing, but I'd like to see it.

Leg of lamb, deboned, stuffed with olive oil, garlic, mint leaves, and goat cheese, well seasoned, rolled together and tied with twine, seasoned on the outside, started in hot (400) oven for 20 minutes, then another hour or so until it gets to 135 in the middle. Pair that with diced potatoes...

I'm still on the fence as to whether I hate you or not. Please say something witty to convince me one way or another.

Rangers looked really sharp last night. If they could be consistently like that, they have a good shot at the cup. Rangers/Canadians would be a bloody awesome series.

I like the counter thing you have built around your smoker. Very convenient. Pork should be done shortly, right? I'll bring beer. Fuck your lawn.

Holy crap. Went to Buffalo Wild Wings tonight for dinner. The jerk chicken sandwich I had was dreadful - over cooked chicken with so much sauce it made the bun wet, and the salad my wife had was lettuce, with a bit of chicken on top, and some cucumbers on the side. The hockey showing on the...

Not at all. It's going to be 580$ this time, including slaughter and processing fees. It works out to around 2$ per pound, which is great.

You can hire someone to tear into your drywall, or you could just open the drywall yourself. The repair cost will be the same afterward, and you won't have to pay someone to tear holes in your ceiling.

Mercury in your period?

That's a nice saw, and the extension is worth it, except I would never buy a table saw with a blade smaller than 10 inches. I'd love a 12 inch one, but they're crazy expensive. Realistically, with an 8 1/4 blade, you have about 3.25 inches of cutting clearance. Won't even cut a 2x4 on end.

Grimmlokk seems upset.

Typically I would butcher it on the chopper, but instead I will keep it alive until I get home, at which point I'll eat its still beating heart, its liver, and its eyeballs while I make fire by blowing up the helicopter in order to boil water and make rice.

Does anyone remember the very brief scene in Naked Gun where she says "I boiled you a roast!" haha. Dang, that was gross.

Lots of sushi snobs up in here. This weekend I plan to go helicopter fishing in the Pacific so I can catch a tuna, fly home, carve, and eat the fish while it is still alive. Perhaps I'll smear it with cream cheese. Maybe some mayo. That'll be some awesome sushi, bros.

Dandelions are delicious, yo! One thing that is really important in all this is communicating regularly with your children's teachers. If there are behaviour problems, keep in mind that the teacher has likely seen it before, and probably has ideas for coping with it. Let them help you, take...

I have a great recipe for a ham roast that includes boiling it, then finishing it in a hot oven with a honey glaze and cloves. It's delicious, and makes awesome pork stock for soups. Win-win! Now I'm feeling like I need to get a sous vide machine. Except not. I might try it in a cooler...

I used to have ants in my back yard so badly I couldn't grow grass in large sections. For two years, I went and put a few drops of straight up gasoline in every single ant hole I could find in the yard, while simultaneously putting liquid Torro ant killer all over the house (in non obtrusive...

Sheesh, no score after three with Boston and Montreal tonight. Overtime about to start. Pretty cool series. Net minders have been outstanding, especially Price.

More asking what you've found in your local spot that's outside of restaurant chains that is good, fast, cheap, delicious.

Okay, I guess. Not prejudging, really, having gone to all the aforementioned restaurants locally, and come to a conclusion only after eating their food. But, yeah. I fail!

I'm not contesting that. I'll absolutely concede this point. To me, a fresh made soup with fresh ingredients and hand made noodles from a mom and pop shop is more enjoyable than sauces brought in and pasta cooked by people minimally trained. I know that many people enjoy Olive Garden - they...

Here's something that has helped me enjoy my lunches more: The New Artisan Bread in Five Minutes a Day: The Discovery That Revolutionizes Home Baking: Jeff Hertzberg, Zo? Fran?ois, Stephen Scott Gross: 9781250018281: Amazon.com: Books Don't let the title put you off. Bake a fresh loaf...

Okay, so lets just say for a moment that the major chains aren't where you want to go. Olive garden, TGIFs, Applebees, and the like are out. What now? Look for local mom and pop restaurants? In every town I've ever lived in, there has been an Asian restaurant run by recent immigrants that...

Man, this is exactly what made me have a serious adjustment in how I deal with my kids. Happened a couple years ago - I was way, way too hardass on rules. If I died, my kids would have remembered me as a drill sergeant. I haven't necessarily lightened up on rules, and getting things done, but...

Good work on the tenderloins, man. Deals like that are awesome when you can find them. Made a nice chicken breast stuffed with lemon/parsley goat cheese, rice pilaf, and spinach salad tonight. Gorgonzola sauce over the chicken to finish the intense flavours.
