    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%...

    Sorry , missed that, my wife was bugging me about dinner. Not going to let her eat Mongolian beef this week if she keeps it up.

    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...

    I think I saw both of them in the theater. The second one is even cheesier but was still a lot of fun.

    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...

    That was the Glory Days of food Network. I used to watch Emeril live every night back in college. At all so often fall asleep on the sofa drinking whiskey and watching triple d. That and original Japanese iron chef. I can watch episode after episode of that show, and even the food Network...

    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...

    We've actually been reverse searing on the grill and cooking it for long enough to wear some of that connected tissue starts to break down but still keeping it medium. I'll pick out ones from the store when they're on sale that have a good muscle grain that it's easy for me to break apart and...

    Cheap Meals: Eating on a budget.

    I just remember the first time seeing it in the grocery store in a vacuum packed package, I didn't know what it was. Just did a bit of research and found out it's quite delicious. For years I used to just buy it if I wanted steak, and again I was paying $3 a lb or something. Anytime I cooked...

    Talking about cheap cuts, are you able to find flat iron steaks anymore. When I was living in Charleston the grocery store right by my apartment was food Lion. I started buying them flat irons because they were maybe five to $7 depending upon the size, but it was almost 2 lb of meat most of...

    I thought it was a great movie, but they missed the opportunity from the comics. The first predator issues was Dutch's brother as a detective in New York fighting crime and whatever, and the predators come down with a ship and are hunting drug lords or something. The movie is kind of loosely...

    Haha, I just started watching this, and I had the same goddamn poster hanging up in my room as kid. I think I got it from Walmart, along with the Aliens poster that was cover art for one of the dark horse comics and maybe in the first series of 6 issues.

    LaRoy (2024)

    I don't necessarily think it's a Hitman deal based on the trailer, and I'mma seems more like a comedic version of Blue Ruin. That movie is pretty great, and Green Room was even better. Forget the director's name but guy puts out solid shit that's way different than your average Hollywood hack...

    When I sous vide, it's typically in a gallon sized Ziploc bag. I don't do the sealing shit, just use the water pressure to push the air out.

    That's what I was trying to say it looks more like a paddling kayak and not a fishing kayak. I can't imagine sitting in that type of seat for extended hours.

    100% butter is wonderful with protein, but anytime I've tried using a tablespoon or so and some aromatics to go in with some steaks, it just turned out weird. It was just greasy and there was this bad mouth feel. I guess that's why I was asking about the pesto because it's a lot of olive oil...

    That looks more like a recreational paddling kayak versus anything you can really fish out of effectively. I mean I'm sure it would probably work, but I don't see where you're going to have a lot of storage for tackle and what have you. I guess a good question would be what type of water are...

    I didn't do that for a long time but with traveling I just found I could always get hours of reading in when on the road. If I pick up a book and lay down on the sofa read I always fall asleep. The audio versions are both phenomenal for those two books. I'm pretty critical when I get books...

    Are you doing the audio versions? Both are fantastic novels, but his work sort of tapers off afterwards, or at least the other stuff that I've read by him. I do need to check out his fantasy series though.

    The oil in the pesto doesn't give it a weird greasiness? I ask because anytime I tried putting fat, like butter or oil in with a protein, it was disgusting. The fat started to break down and it's like everything was just coated in slime. The stupid hipsters that make Jule presear and put...

    He's got some good stuff past that period, but his coke fueled / case of tall boys days was his best period. It gets pretty hit and miss after his accident and the full onset of TDS.

    You're absolutely right. I typically enjoy his movies, but I tried watching it a couple of times and it's just blah. It's not that the actors don't give great performances was just dull.
