  1. Really good. Lots of insight into Chase and the show. Reminded what a kick I got out of the scene with Livia at Green Grove complaining about the neighbor-lady running the water constantly. "Who does she think she is, Gunga Din?"
  2. In terms of Loony Tunes analogies, it felt to me more like this:
  3. All those cats are eyeing that rodent on his head.
  4. As do I. It will be known as YGIFS' Day.
  5. I'm envisioning him still talking while the credits roll, like the blooper reel in Cannonball Run, but pathetic rather than funny.
  6. Hunting season bump. Will be in Austin for Mississippi State Game.
  7. Came to post this. Trump is not allowed to speak to me through the device that entertains me. I've made up my mind. I hope Kamala delivers a pants-down spanking like Texas did to Michigan.
  8. Good to know. I'll give it another go.
  9. This cool weather has resulted in lots of playing outside and some pooped pups.
  10. Add to the equation that I have an induction cooktop and if I bring it up too quickly, I can warp the carbon pans. That's been enough of a reminder. I'll typically start on 2/10, bring it to 3/10. Then, turn it off for a minute or so and let the heat even out. This whole time, I'm getting everything ready. So I'm not just standing there waving my hand over the pan. When I have everything ready to go, I bring it up a bit at a time again a little more quickly. Butter goes in when I hit 4/10. After I stir and shake furiously and get my curds set, I'll drop it back to 3 and keep going a bit more before turning off the heat.
  11. I've been doing a lot of French omelettes in carbon steel pans for the last year or so, and the newer pans will absolutely punish me for getting too hot since they hold onto heat like cast iron. But I've been getting better results once I learned to keep the heat a little lower.
  12. He was one of the good ones. RIP to the voice of an angel.
  13. With eggs, put them in a glass of warm water for a few minutes. It helps with just about all aspects of egg cooking not to have ice-cold eggs from the fridge hitting a hot pan. Medium to medium low heat with plenty of butter is just about the rest of the equation for most styles of egg cooking. Eggs go in the pan as soon as the butter stops bubbling (but before it browns).
  14. A boy needs a dog. Doesn't matter if that boy is middle aged.
  15. I tried making homemade pasta earlier this year and haven't failed so hard at something in the kitchen a long time. The dogs wouldn't even eat it (just kidding, they ate it).
