  1. Yeah, post up the brine and process if you don't mind. I'd love to make that.
  2. I'm learning.
  3. Well, it could be just internet, which is why I asked. I have a kid in college in Austin with a Spectrum bill and no channels to show for it.
  4. 1. It looks like a big high school game. 2. I was at a gathering with a Baylor graduate the other day. And something about Friday-night games came up, and he piped up, "Oh, yeah. They're playing a lot of games on Friday night." I smiled.
  5. Honestly, the $5 to SlingTV, which isn't Mouse-owned, on game day plus an antenna if required seems like the best/cheapest legal solution. YoutubeTV will kick a little money our way for each month it's off the table (they usually do), and it goes okay for the consumer. Yeah, it's a pain in the ass, but whatayagonnado? /shrugs
  6. Pet Semetary, Christine, The Dead Zone, not necessarily in that order.
  7. No spoilers, but The Gunslinger should be the last book in the DT series.
  8. Yes, but my creepier brain was making a joke of a sexual nature. Don't you screw up with the 2025 "My Crazy Ass Family at the Holidays" thread!
  9. My brain: What's an RJ? Creepier part of my brain: If you have to ask, big guy, you can't afford it.
  10. I loved getting those bowls, but I don't remember it coming to the table au jus. That looks delicious though, but I gotta say, the picture makes it look like some bizarre Jello salad or aspic.
  11. I got my first rice cooker my freshman year after I came home one night from a pretty good party, decided to cook a pot of rice. I passed out and didn't wake up until the whole room was full of smoke and I got up to find a meteorite of rice in the pot. I told the story to my mom (I may have left out the part where I was hammered and passed out), and a few days later, she'd sent me a rice cooker. Damned thing was analog wonder and lasted over 30 years. I've gone through two since then. Don't make 'em like they used to.
  12. I don't use the word, "Hero" much, but you, sir . . .
  13. That first sentence was unnecessary given the second sentence. And with all those services, you still can't watch the game (either Spectrum or Uverse is for cable or kids cable and you can use the ESPN app).
  14. Can you put this in more scholarly terms for me? What if I had a contract for a hand free from scarring, but, in the end, I received a hairy hand? See Tits v. McGee.
  15. Yep. It's like the Bocchicchio Clan "negotiator" from the Godfather, who was playing cards with Clemenza's men (and was being allowed to win) while Michael met with Solozo and the police captain. Spoilered so as not to threadjack too much.
  16. Edit. I was working off some old intel. Ban post. Delete user.
  17. TLDR: It's a rich tapestry. You're not alone.
  18. Well there goes his productive work life. His DIY and cooking skills will improve. But at what cost?
  19. It's been a while, but I'm almost positive I used 120 grit on a Dewalt orbital sander. You'll want to wear a mask because inhaling iron dust isn't the best. This got it nice and smooth, but not so much so that it was hard to get it to take and hold seasoning.
  20. After all that time?
  21. At our house, there's a Daddy Hutch. There's a knife drawer and a space underneath with all the C/S and Cast Iron. The main cookware storage with all the stainless and lone non-stick pan, along with the knife block on the counter is open to all. But I do 99% of the cooking. This was more to keep my high school aged kids using things they couldn't destroy until they learned how to use them. My older son received a 10" Lodge Cast Iron when he moved into his first apartment this year and has learned to take care of it.
  22. The De Buyer 12.5 (32 cm) has a helper handle. My two Matfer pans are traditional with the sloped sides, but that brand is a bit shallower than most, which is what ATK like about them before they bought into the local-French-recall nonsense and disavowed them in favor of Mauviel, which since has been recalled under the same circumstances, but I digress. My two De Buyer pans both are omelet pans, and the sides are much shallower. But that 11" omelet pan is thick and heavy (heavier than a comparably sized Matfer). Of the regular C/S pans, De Buyer appears to have higher sides than Matfer.
