Radical Sandwich Anarchy is a good name for a pop punk cover band

@Pimphand inspired me to get a couple of central market tomahawk chops last night. Grilled them up with a Dijon/honey/bourbon/garlic/lemon juice glaze. Also grilled some Zucchini from the garden and some corn

I mean, you could include a crab cake grilled cheese sandwich in a bracket if you want, but I'd guess that a large percentage of people have never had one (myself included) and it would stand no chance of advancing out of the first round. A smaller bracket with universally-acknowledged contenders seems better than a larger bracket with a bunch of 16-seed regional obscurities. But that's just like, my opinion, man.....

I just want to give a preemptive “fuck you” to any other show writers or filmmakers that use “Father and Son” during a pivotal and emotional parental reconciliation scene. The first four notes came on and my wife loudly said “goddamnit!!!!” while I had already started tearing up like a little bitch. Fucking dickheads.

Because obviously we are an upstanding squeaky-clean operation of great character and every other institution is run by wretched crooks and are all on the verge of being indicted by the FBI. We are good and everyone else is bad.

I've done ribs on a kettle a number of times. I will take a poultry roasting rack and flip it and set the ribs up on their side. That creates more space and distance from the other side of the grill so I can run a minion of lump and wood chunks. It works pretty well when all you've got is a kettle.

I had this exact conversation on facebook a few years ago and it started a great debate. My only rule was you can't include specific versions of a sandwich you really like at one place. The merit of your vote would be judged by the conventional ingredients/construction of the sandwich. So you wouldn't say "the italian at Home Slice" but "the italian sandwich". I ultimately landed on 1) BLT 2) Reuben 3) Italian 4) patty melt (because a cheeseburger isn't a sandwich but a patty melt is and I can't tell you why that contradiction exists, but it's a fact) The simplicity of the BLT wins every time. And Reubens are just typically fucking awesome. Now, I might like an Italian Beef sandwich from any number of places in Chicago more than a BLT from Jersey Mike's. But Italian Beefs are regional and not typically executed correctly at most places outside of Chicago. And the Chilanga torta at Mi Tradicion might be better than a Reuben from Bella Donna subs. But still, the Reuben is a superior sandwich than a torta. Edit: If it were more widely-available, I think the jambon-beurre would make my top 5.

The neediness and insecurity is proof god is female. (JK ladies. I know that most men are profoundly more needy and insecure than women) That sounds VERY cult-y.

I liked Mare of Easttown. It was entertaining. It didn't do anything groundbreaking. I think it was on par with something like The Night Of. But it's a clear tier below the shows I cite. It's also not as good as some of the shows that didn't make my cut. Perry Mason is better, as is 'I Will Destroy You', which I thought was excellent but didn't quite do enough to land in the top tier. I also agree that the first three seasons of GOT were as strong as any stretch of Succession. But things fell off toward the end of the series and that's why it doesn't hold up.

I've watched the show four times. Watching season 2 for the first time with that fucking halfwit Ziggy and his stupid fucking duck was an absolute slog. But after multiple viewings I understand why the story of season 2 needed to be told and have come to appreciate it and even enjoy it. Certainly more than season 5 and the homeless murder shenanigans. But having an appreciation for a flawed season (when compared to the rest of the series) does not mean you elevate it above 3, 4 or 1.

you must be using the jt rankings, because no one that has actually seen the show would rank season 2 as the best season. unless you're talking about the season in which the best titties are revealed.... for the record its 34125

I saw OFF! at a small club in Chicago. My buddies used to skate with their old drummer Mario Rubalcaba. It was really fun show and it was kinda surreal watching Keith Morris wander around a club considering his legendary status as lead singer in both Circle Jerks and Black Flag. I'm not super into free jazz punk so I'll probably be avoiding them in the future. Bought tickets to the Liz Phair show at the Moody in December. She's doing all of Exile in Guyville and playing the hits off Whip Smart and Whitechocolatespaceegg, I would assume

Not sure about his experience coaching LDS players, but attending college and playing football at BYU would probably impart some wisdom and experience in cultivating relationships with Mormons.

1) The Wire 2) The Sopranos 3) Deadwood 4) Succession - for now 5) Game of Thrones Shows that could overtake Succession - Euphoria and Last of Us Mini-series that would slot in above Succession - Band of Brothers, Chernobyl Comedies that I would rank higher than Succession: Veep, Curb your Enthusiasm Not sure where Barry fits in or what to classify it as.

Just put together that he died at the same age, and from the same affliction, as Townes.

Fuck.....

I will also add, that these are the prized chips in a bag of kettle cooked chips - the ones that folded over when fried. If you can find two stuck together and folded over, you've achieved chip nirvana.

Those are also very good. They're my wife's favorite. I prefer the Jalapeno though. Can't lose either way.

These are the best chips. Everyone else is just fighting for second place

I just cut two pieces of bacon into lardons and fried those up. Threw in about 1/3 or half a cup of diced yellow onion and cooked for a few minutes in the rendered bacon fat. Threw in the green beans to sear up a bit. A few minutes later I added about a cup of halved cherry tomatoes. Then finally added four cloves of garlic I ran through a mandolin. At the end added a few tablespoons of white vinegar and maybe a third of a cup of water to cook the beans through. Would have used chicken stock but didn't have any. They were great.
