  1. Good Lord. This page is the definition of iron sharpening iron. That tortilla looks a lot like my wife's lefsa, and that's a good thing.
  2. The corn makes the hog, my man. The corn makes the hog.
  3. They've been in this boat for 20 years, but here we are. I agree with you, BTW, but I just don't think any of their expansion has been on a "need to" basis. The Big 12 and ACC needed to add the schools they did this year. The Big 10 didn't.
  4. I actually didn't see any acknowledgment of it on their website, but it's always been in stock when I've visited the store personally. We don't have the hogs we take home and throw into my deep freeze turned into braunschweiger, because my wife hates it. I just buy a roll when I swing through.
  5. Sometimes the entries to this thread, while objectively delicious, run a little too hard into boujie territory. You have to reel in some kind of trash aspect, or at least something that seemingly makes 0 sense to the unlearned palate. Or add a cheese hinge.
  6. I have no idea if the locker ships or not, but I don't know what freezing their braunschweiger for shipping would do to the meat, or how one would ship it in a refrigerated fashion.
  7. This particular Braunschweiger comes from the locker we have all our personal use hogs processed at. It's firmer than most, having a consistency a little more on the spectrum of a sausage vs a pate, which makes it really well suited for sandwich construction, IMO. If for some reason anyone here is within an hour of Elma, Iowa, it's absolutely worth the side bar to load up on meat. All of their products are as good as pork processing gets, IMO.
  8. It will probably be my greatest contribution to this thread, and I plan on having it for supper again tonight. I'll have to find something to replace the Doritos though, that was the bottom of the bag. Ok, I lied. The bottom of the bag got dumped straight into my mouth. But that was almost the bottom of the bag.
  9. Yeah, I mean, I don't know if the guy is an industry plant or whatever, but he's definitely not what I thought he was 30 seconds into my first listen of Rich Men.
  10. Braunschweiger with CoJack on wheat bun with Dijon, jalapeño ranch, giardienaria, pickled onions, and the crumbs of a Doritos bag.
  11. Estes has always struck me as excessively touristy. It's close to RMNP, but other than that it's way down the list.
  12. Lake City. Hiking and fly fishing are why people go there. It's isolated, beautiful, and doesn't have much for tourist amenities but there are 5-6 14ers within a half hour of there, and (allegedly) kick ass fishing. The place isn't overrun at all, and has a few bars and restaurants to hold you over for the evenings.
  13. I just come across it a lot from cover bands, or on juke boxes, or whatever.
  14. That SEC transition starting early... Seriously though, I saw that Baylor game and all I could think of was "another win out there!" and not "what will they say about the Big 12????"
  15. I encounter "Why Don't We Get Drunk and Screw" more in the wild than I do "Come Monday". No idea what the commercial numbers on either were.
  16. The thing that irritates ISU fans so much is that most Northern Iowa fans (my in-laws are an exception as they're truly UNI fans above all else) are bigger Iowa fans than they are fans of their own school, so the whole Cy-Hawk thing seeps into the ISU/UNI dynamic. ISU fans mock them for not really being fans of their own school, and UNI has kind of a reputation of being a suitcase school where everyone leaves town on the weekends to either go back to their home town (usually some small town in northern Iowa), or party in one of the other college towns. So most UNI fans are bigger Iowa fans, and are way more obnoxious about their Iowa fandom than people who actually go to U of I. UNI's coach openly talks down about ISU, and just showers Iowa with praise - even when they play them. UNI has literally TRIED to lose to Iowa when they had them on the ropes, lest they give their beloved Hawkeyes a black eye, but they fucking live for beating ISU (even though it really doesn't make a shit in their ability to win the MVFC or play in the FCS playoffs). I fucking hate playing those guys, and losing to them is the absolute worst. Plus, it's historically a guarantee that ISU isn't going to a bowl game.
  17. Pre-harvest fridge cleaning. Colby Jack, Braunschweiger, dill relish, dijon mustard
  18. My wife was a heptathlete at UNI and is a huge Panther fan, as is her whole family. This game has been the bane of my existence for years. We rarely shit can them, and it’s a true cause for celebration when we do.
  19. The high school team we played normally pushes us to the wire, and we would have beat them 50-0 if our starters had stayed in all game. I’m not sure it means anything, but when we comfortably beat Northern Iowa, it tends to go on to be a decent year.
  20. Wet roots are the devil. Much like wet limestone.
  21. Clock House is legit. I’m still a Lionbridge fanboy, but I will definitely Stan for Clock House.
  22. It’s undeniably the right move for SMU.
