  1. I can't speak to the crock pot, but as to the Instant Pot, no soaking required.
  2. Thanks for putting this together, Brisket. Let's take care of our own.
  3. If this were a choose your own adventure story, I would have chosen a different ending. Also, if Gene in a depo is anything like Gene as the lawyer in Extract threatening to settle the case by slamming the corporate rep's balls in a door, that would have made for some good stories. But Shannon would have been better, and now I'm going to need to watch Hot Dog: The Movie! tonight.
  4. The semester I took copyright law was one of the worst for me. I remember the guy across the aisle from me looking over at me and saying, "When are we going to talk about the Beatles?" Best we got was George Harrison, and it still was mind-numbing.
  5. Misspelled aggy and no segment about changing their flat tire or jump starting their car.
  6. Not to mention the football team's doing the same.
  7. On boiled eggs, here's what I do, and I've always had good results. I haven't tried the tablespoon or whatever of vinegar in the water, but if you want to, just add it to this procedure. 1. Put eggs in small pot. 2. Put enough water in pot to cover eggs. 3. Cover and bring to a boil. 4. When the water starts to boil, remove pot from heat and let the eggs sit in the pot of water (still covered) for 15 minutes. 5. Put eggs in an ice water bath for a minute or two. 6. Tap the egg all over with the back of a spoon so that the entire surface of the shell is cracked. 7. Peel the egg under cold running water. When the water gets under the shell, it will make removing the shell easier. 8. Enjoy.
  8. Or an Instant Pot. 1 lb pintos, 6 cups of water, 1 T salt, 3 tsp coarse pepper, onion powder, garlic powder, paprika, chili powder, cumin, (I like a little curry powder), and a bullion cube. About 1 hour 10 minutes under pressure and as much time after that as you can spare (hour or so).
  9. "Don't worry, the race always tightens up the closer you get to election day." -Michael Dukakis
  10. I was completely unaware that George Conway divorced that piece of garbage. Good for him.
  11. She's not wrong, but it's far more effective and just as accurate simply to reiterate how weird they are. That says something about us all, but this is war.
  12. No problem. I took his response as super enthusiastic. That bodes well.
  13. Here's his response: Looks great. Maybe add Chalatenango/cerro el Pital. But that looks like a great itinerary to get the vibe. Make sure to hit lago coatepeque, izalco, Santa Ana volcano, and cerro verde. All three are right next to each other and very different. But I think he has those covered on the 3 nights in Santa Ana area. The entire west coast highway is like driving on pacific coast highway 101 or whatever. Very cool. Make sure to also try not only regular pupusas but also the ones made in a rice wrapper, kind of like gummy noodles. Bad ass. And when leaving the airport, stop off in the town of cojutepeque, which has some of the best damned sausages anywhere. The whole town is known for them, and they are very different
  14. I just texted this to him. I'll let you know what he says.
  15. Not only does he not love him, he'll probably start campaigning to outlaw ramps in this country. And Abbott will offer his full-throated support on the issue.
  16. "They can't put anything on the internet that isn't true. Here comes my date. He's a French model."
  17. Since before that actually.

    Vinyl

    Could you mount the power supply to the back of the cabinet? Or you could get some panlock mounts and mount the McIntosh gear rack-style. It is quite satisfying. Also, jealous of that CD player. My MA77 Tuner basically is for show (space filler) at this point.

    Olive oil

    From CA Olive Ranch: "All our olive oils are certified extra virgin by Applied Sensory, the highest standards of quality in the industry. Our 100% California Reserve Collection and 100% California Everyday extra virgin olive oils also carry the Olive Oil Commission of California seal." I think their global blend is fine. And back in 2017 when CA had such an awful harvest, the Global blend (or whatever they named it that year) was far better supposedly. But the CA Everyday isn't that much more and is a safe bet for sure. I've read you can put a bowl of olive oil in the fridge. If it solidifies, it's real. If not, there's something funny going on.
  20. Surlyhorns summed up in one post and one response. @elfenix cramming a response and a meme into a neg-rep emoji. Bravo.
