  1. My wife is what I would call cautious about spending money. She, however, has zero sense about time verse value. Example 1: there’s a 7/11 about a block from the house, so she will drive to Costco which is about 20 minutes away to get gas because it’s “cheaper”. Well, the gas she burns to go the 15 miles basically makes the prices comparable and she would save 40 minutes of her day. Example two, we have a Walgreens and a Braums neighborhood market within a half mile. For simple stuff we know Walgreens or Braums will have, she will drive to the Crest by her church which is about 30 minutes away. I get so damn frustrated with that.
  2. Guy I went to law school with was a high school principal that wanted to practice law. We graduated and passed the bar. He opened his own shop in Norman. Did a lot of family law. On the day he got full custody for his client, the ex husband came and shot my friend, the client, and the kid (IIRC) then drove out in the sticks and killed himself. In his prior life my friend was on one of the Sports Gone Wild type shows. He was a jockey and got bucked off and his boot got stuck, so he was dragged to the finish line.
  3. Do you or any of your friends still write to him? His case is what launched my love of true crime. Most murders are drug related, marital issues, and gang violence. A lot is over money, as well, but Bart just seems like a total sociopath. I know he stood to inherit a lot of money, but I honestly think his lies about graduating from college were about to catch up to him and killing his family was easier than owning up to his own fuck up.
  4. This hits home except that my MIL talks about the vacations she’s going to take like she’s capable. “I want to do a river cruise in Germany.” Other than, you can’t fit in a seat in airplane, walk or stand long enough to get on the ship, walk up stairs, walk around the villages, and the cost that you won’t ever spend your money for, yes, this would be great. This is the lady that once vetoed a trip to Telluride because “the hotel rooms will just reek of marijuana” and made us go to bumfuck Arkansas where she sat in the house and pouted because we wanted to go hike/fish/play golf and she couldn’t physically do those things.
  5. Lmao. She didn’t bring one unfortunately. We told her to not bring anything down because it’s just the wife, myself, and her. She came with two dips, 3 types of cookies, a cheese ball, puppy chow, Chex mix, and summer sausage. We could have fed Patton’s army with the amount of shit she brought
  6. Any chance you could spare the rice recipe? Looks great!
  7. Herb crusted beef tenderloin red wine, mushroom, shallot, gravy/reduction mashed potatoes caesar salad SLAMMED. That gravy is ridiculous.hi
  8. Pre-Facebook, my dad’s go to “get these people out of my house” move was talking about bringing out the vacation photos. That shit used to be punishment. Now it’s how a large percentage of females their self worth.
  9. The MIL is migrating south to our house on Christmas Day. She asked us to send her a list of “sentimental gifts” she could get us. Complete bullshit. Just an attempt to not have to buy gifts for the holidays. Totally fine with that notion, just call it what it is. We got her “list” and it was the most over the top “sentimental” crap ever. “When you have time, and I know you are busy, I would like for you to clean out my closet”. “Sharing a meal and togetherness”.
  10. Boynton and OSU had another brutal loss yesterday. I honestly don’t know if he makes it through the season.
  11. Not the best picture, but this cheeseburger soup slammed hard. 1lb of ground beef 1/2 of chopped celery 1/2 cup of shaved carrots 1/2 cup of diced onion 2 cups of diced potatoes 3 cups of beef or chicken stock 2 cups of milk Can of Cream of Mushroom Can of cheese soup 12-16 oz of velvetta splash of Worcestershire salt pepper tony’s cajun seasoning. cook beef and pull from pot. Add your celery, onion, and carrot. Sweat down. Add beef, broth, and potatoes. Bring to a boil for 10ish minutes. Add the cans of soup, velvetta, and milk. Combine. Add salt, pepper, Tony’s and Worcestershire to taste. Mine was a bit thin, so I added a corn starch slurry to thicken it up. Easy and cheap. Tastes even better after a day or so.
  12. Bill is a super nice dude. Have known him for quite a while. I’m a big KJ Adams fan the rest of the year. I’m sure the basketball court is a nice distraction.
  13. 2024 Golf Trip Itinerary booked: June- Bandon, have been once right when Sheep Ranch opened. August- Northern Ireland/Liverpool, flying to NI, playing Portrush and County Down, flying to Liverpool and playing Birkdale, Royal Liverpool, Royal Lytham and St. Anne’s, and driving south for Sunningdale. Potential for a Streamsong trip In September, but the wife may kill me.
  14. I didnt know people got out of the maximum security prisons in Florence. Must have been a bad dude back in the day.
  15. Well to her, I ruined thanksgiving by bringing a dessert that upstaged her average pecan pie. Since she tossed the awesome dessert in the trash i during her hissy fit, I decided to go full petty and make a pecan pie that is infinitely better than hers for dinner the next day. Just to stir the pot. The green chili pecan pie was a hit and was finished. Her pecan pie was about 1/2 eaten. She wouldn’t talk to me after. Consider this a victory.
  16. Different side of the family. Unfortunately, the former and current president’s have adamant supporters on both mine and my wife’s side. I guess that’s what makes this thread tick.
  17. My green chili pecan pie slammed too hard. MIL went to the basement and refused to come up. Now the wife is mad that I made it because now her mom is crushed. While this was going on, my wife’s cousin (who runs a sustainability program for a major state organization in a state not touching Texas) got frustrated at my wife’s MAGA uncle for not recycling his Busch Light, which has devolved into a full on war on both sides of our political spectrum. Highlight of the evening was someone chirping that If Trump is president again, the Aunt is moving out of the country. In which, MAGA uncle said “well you should have moved out 8 years ago then”. It went downhill.
  18. Lol. That’s her/my worst nightmare. Goes to the gym about 6 times a week to avoid it. Prayers up.
  19. Just went to the store to get ingredients for a pecan pie. Might as well be petty and ruffle the feathers. MIL is on the Bud Light already. Fireworks incoming.
  20. My MIL is a hefty gal. Probably 5’7” 400ish. Vic wouldn’t even hit it. As you can imagine, her life revolves around food. We are all planning out who is bringing what to Thanksgiving. She is hell bent on bringing her very average pecan pie. Last year at my side of the family’s thanksgiving, I ordered a Piecaken off of Goldbelly. It’s fucking awesome. Basically pecan pie with frosting layer, pumpkin pie on top of it, frosting, apple spice cake on top of it. It’s like a turducken but diabeetus style. I spend the 90 bucks to bring it to wife’s family dinner last night. All was relatively normal until dessert time came. People started gushing over the Piecaken and not touching MILs pecan pie. She throws a grown woman hissy fit and tosses 2/3s of the Piecaken in the trash and starts blaming me for trying to upstage her and how she gets self worth out of people liking her pecan pie and I ruined it. Round two starts in about two hours. It’s going to be a shit show.
  21. If you ever have to be in Ada, Oklahoma, Folger’s Drive In has been around since like 1920 and is unbelievable. Truer words have never been spoken
  22. Made this last night. Absolutely awesome. Thanks for the inspiration.
  23. Journey time again tomorrow. Intentions are being comfortable in my own skin, not keeping score, and not being affected by perceived expectations of others. Will be my last MDMA journey for a while. Will do ketamine or mushrooms next time. Glad I will have a weekend to recover. Excited to see where the medicine takes me tomorrow.
  24. My favorite thread every single year
  25. Pound and a half of boneless skinless chicken thighs. Mixed a cup of flour with some cornstarch, added some pepper and Cajun seasoning. Dredged the chicken thighs in that. Heated up some avocado oil. Cooked the chicken and pulled it. Sauce: soy, ginger, chili oil (or any hot sauce), garlic, rice wine vinegar, sesame oil, and honey. Portion out the squash and broccoli and cook in the same pan. Add 1/4 of the sauce. Once vegetables are cooked add the chicken and the rest of the sauce with the vegetables. Stir and let reduce. Cook some brown rice. Put the rice on the plate, top with chicken and vegetables. Add sesame seeds. Shovel into mouth. It’s pretty simple and really good.
