  1. Shirley was just on Bobby Flays Triple Threat and she was just so full of life and joy. She kicked ass. Obviously recorded before her diagnosis. Damn shame.
  2. Since YouTube lost a&e and its properties I watch it on Philo which is only $25 a month. I’m probably dropping YouTubers and living with an antenna, Philo, and all my apps. So I watch all the history shows on Philo. There are commercials but it’s easy; hit FF then play and it skips the whole break.
  3. I buy huge packs of hormel ready cooked bacon at Sam’s and it’s fine for sandwiches or salads. I also buy bags of hormel crumbled bacon which is great to add as a flavoring to all kinds of things
  4. The guy that developed this was on all the talk shows and carson back in the 70’s. He’d put an aluminum packet on the engine of a New York taxi then they’d go down and eat it . It was an idea to keep from heating up an up air conditioned house in the summer. Take your meal to work. Throw it on the block for the commute home. Eat with a nuance of Castrol and Quaker State. Then a dude started doing meals cooked in your dishwasher. Nope.
  5. I love shakshuka and hade similar issues. Dont like poached eggs or soft boiled . I now basically make the tomato sauce and get it seasoned right and then fry my eggs over easy in bacon grease. I get a rasher of crisp buttered rough toast and spoon on the sauce and top with the eggs. I got the idea building huevos rancheros and said this is how I should make any similar dish. I use fried eggs on Benedict’s too. Fuck a poached egg.
  6. Question: I want to set up an app for building a family recipe book across my now wide and diverse family and to make sure our grandkids have access to their Texas heritage as I have my grandmothers and some of my great grandmothers recipes. From a farm outside Groesbeck those descendants have travelled the world, welcomed Thai, black, Mexican, even a Massachusttian spouses and their foodways and I think it will make a cool living project. My sociology classes really only gave me a fascination with ethnic foodways and how they evolve with technology and migration (my great grandmother had 14 kids. Baked dozens of biscuits and pans of cornbread three times a day. Electricity came, a refrigerator, then canned biscuits. She never made another from scratch) Does anyone do anything like this? There are a ton of apps for making your own cookbook but haven’t found one that is built for multiple contributors.
  7. Those are his cap hit numbers . It’s pretty complex and is structured a lot like Daks contract as it anticipates a great career and a third contract to fix this one. If he hits it’s fine but if you want to make a change it’s disastrous especially if as anticipated they add three void years like the Cowboys did to smooth out that huge hit at the end. Love got a $75mil signing bonus all of which will be paid by December 4. It’s a record. https://www.spotrac.com/news/_/id/2413/breaking-down-jordan-loves-220m-extension One way to fix the issue with these contracts is to do away with void years on contracts. They game the system and screw the non super elite players but team and player benefit. A contract should be binding to team and player for the term. Cowboys have kicked the can with Dak and given him future salary upfront as bonus, and then extended the contract to Void Years to smooth it out. Those years are meaningless as the player becomes a FA still at the end of the original contract. So Dak has a huge number ($55m) at the end of this contract as they anticipated a new contract, and three void years that accelerate to 2025 of dead cap ($40m) if he leaves. They’re fucked. Here’s Tua’s contract. It is far better for the Dolphins as the numbers don’t leave them horribly exposed if he gets his brain scrambled down the road. Tua is still getting a shitton of money. I believe this is the type contract Cowboys want with Dak if they really want to sign him. https://www.spotrac.com/news/_/id/2414/breaking-down-tua-tagovailoas-2124m-extension One way to fix would be put into players hands. Be socialists like the owners. TV rev divided into 32 shares. What would the players do? $255mil x 32 is $8.1 billion. 1696 players split would be $4.7 mill each. (Yes you have more shares for practice squad, injuries, etc) Most don’t make close to that. Would they do that? Obviously they’d have a rookie cap and veteran tiers but..,
  8. A buddy of mine got diagnosed with an oral cancer. The doctor wanted to remove his tongue, soft palate, all his teeth, lower jaw. Possibly an eye. How long if I don’t do it…” a year”. If I do it? “ 15 months”. Fuck that. He died a year later, but intact.
  9. I’d rather see Raymond and Lorraine move to Florida with murderous next door neighbors
  10. I will tell you right now the 3 games Dak will miss: divisional playoff, nfc championship, Super Bowl. The real issue they face is he is $55m in cap in 24. If he leaves he is $40 mil in dead cap due to three void years. That’s not a reason to give him another contract. I would trade Parsons after 24 for a slew of picks. He has no need to get a new contract now. He’s under contract thru 25 and you can franchise his ass. He hasn’t shown he is physically able to play a 20 game season as he’s wiped out by Thanksgiving. I’d trade CeeDee if I can recoup his 1 pick and some more. If those three eat 50% you’ll have to get rid of all your star linemen. And have only Toast Pattersons as DBs.
  11. My son is 43. He was 14 when they won the SB in 95. He has forbidden decking out his daughters in Cowboys apparel. He is breaking the cycle.
  12. Good lord the hits keep coming. Shirley is one of my favorites. Stage 4 tongue cancer. She’s fighting. https://metro.co.uk/2024/07/27/tv-chef-chooses-keep-tongue-undergo-stage-4-cancer-treatment-21309928/amp/
  13. My dad also made killer peanut brittle learning after breaking a tooth on the thick commercial stuff. He figured out how to make it thin but solid enough to hold its integrity. Once he got a bushel of salt roasted Virginia peanuts and he decided he would make brittle with them. We spent a couple days shelling them and then he made his brittle. That juice wasn’t worth the squeeze he decided. He wasn’t a regular cook. Certain things he wanted and he figured them out. Younguns don’t understand true seasonality. Red seedless grapes back then were in season cheap about two weeks a year. He learned how to freeze them on cookie sheets and we had bags of them. He put in a garden every spring but was often on the road chasing bandits. I was the unpaid “gardener”. I had strict instructions on things like okra; he made a gauge out of a ruler that showed me the perfect lengths to make sure they were long enough but not woody. Sweet corn never went in the freezer. It was poached as picked. Huge pot on the boil with sugar in the water. Cut the correct ears and shuck and desilk. Into the pot in less than ten minutes to keep sugar from going to starch. Heat off. Poach. Out on platter with butter and salt on the table. Might be three ears a piece, might be a dozen. You are nothing else . He had been a physics major so everything was a precise measurement. Mom was a housewife of the 50’s and 60’s. Convenience foods were are tried .magazine recipes.
  14. Wonder if S2 will be same folks with same case, or new case same folks, or all new case new folks. Do Rusty and Raymond open a defense firm? How would you like crazy Rusty defending your case?
  15. I like those moves when they get on the mat. They all had nice asses and the commentator talked about their strong grips. Her bike replaced dude fell on his face too. Dont know if you saw the clip of Dygart’s wreck in a previous wreck where she went over a guardrail and down a hill. Yikes. Fell in the rain on the cobbles and still got bronze.
  16. It’s 330 am and I woke up to take a leak. I’m watching women’s judo. As I often do I wonder how different lady athletes would be in bed. I’m thinking these judo women’s would be fun in the sack
  17. They catch a fish that will give them a couple days protein and then quit. They need fat and they need to be catching and smoking a shitpile of fish a day. Appears the way to bail Honorably is simply quit shitting. “I haven’t shit in 38 days! I wonder if that’s an issue?”
  18. Something, something about that dude is never in one successful place very long. https://fortworth.culturemap.com/news/restaurants-bars/barbecue-holy-cue-enchiladas-ole/ I’ve eaten at all his places and consistency was always the issue.
  19. My dad cooked the best steaks I’ve ever had. Nothing else has come close. Weber kettle. Charcoal briquettes down to coals. . Season the steaks with salt and pepper. He made a baste with butter, lemon, worchestershire. Flipped em. Baste. Cover. Done. Rest. Eat. Perfect medium rare with perfect crust. He also made hotcakes on Saturdays. From scratch. Used an electric griddle he’d lightly grease with bacon grease. Thin batter that were basically two sides and no inside. Awesome.
  20. Don’t get that jardiance taint rot.
  21. Except he craps out in January. Just like Dak. Losers. If they go 17-0 winning every game 63-3 I will expect an embarrassing loss in their first playoff game.
  22. You’re still in the serious portion of your Type 2 diagnosis. Get a Dexcom or freestyle CGM and you’ll see how foods affect your glucose. Carbs aren’t all carbs. Just add more meds you can eat about anything.
  23. They only took his car. I thought at the time that was dumb police work. And once the affair came out the police would have looked to either eliminate or include the wife as a suspect. Sloppy writing f all around. Wife called the daughter out as the murderer after that first scene where she got in bed with Rusty to talk about the trial. If b didn’t do it then I think she would have suspected Rusty and at the least sent him to stay in the cabana. They showed the family all happy at the end. A murderer daughter, a likely fucked up son, a cheating lying husband, and a pissed off wife. I think his actions of withholding evidence, attempted bribery of the dude in prison, the hiding of information, threatening others like the ME, would get him disbarred. Bye to the spooky grey house.
