  1. Zepol I don't think we have any dermatologists here. Carry on with my Cantharone + torture.
  2. Finished it last night, little sad to be done with it. I saw a description somewhere that it was the perfect blend of sweet and stupid. I think that's a good summary. It seems like it is getting a lot of love so that probably bodes well for there being a Season 2.
  3. Please shoot me a PM if so. Thanks. Disclaimer: does not involve a shirtless photo of my boss and a mole
  4. Spoken like someone who has never had Cinnamon Twists dipped in Reduced-fat sour cream mixed with Diablo sauce.
  5. There's a local-ish Mexican place that serves a secret 'martajada' salsa that I fell in love with a few years ago. I spent months trying to perfect it and got pretty close. It's a little bit sour, relies heavily on tomatillos. And of course I made mine much hotter. Very good stuff. Here's the recipe: About 6 roma tomatoes Tomatillos (you want the volume of the romas:tomatillos to be about 2.5:1 or 3:1) About 1/4 of a big ass red onion A couple of small garlic cloves (or one big one) 2-4 serrano peppers (depending on how much heat you like) 1/2 - 1 orange habanero (depending on how much heat you like) 1 lime Salt Grill all of it, but the lime and the salt. Get it black. Get it to the point where you will be able to smash it without a blender. mortar and pestle. Add juice of lime. Add about 1 tbsp of salt. Or less or more. Stir. Pour in blender. Pulse. Just 2-3x. Don't want it too thin. Pour in bowl/pitcher. Chill for a few hours. Mix.
  6. Watching a little each night. Little Buff Boys and Dan Flashes had me cracking up.
  7. It's so cringe. I didn't think the proposal garden/wrestling landed at all. But what really bothers me is the stupid endings. Like some of them really hit and are funny and then they just go wild to end the sketch. I thought the guy that talks about his kids too much one was hilarious but then the veer to end it with TR's kid killing a gorilla.
  8. I'm definitely taking her entry fee out of that shit. She picked the Knicks because Luke from the show Jessie is a Knicks fan in the show. She picked the Celtics to get to the Finals because her cousin/my niece's best friend goes to BC. She picked the "Nuggies" to get to the Finals because my wife's best friend lives in Denver.

  9. Another show I guess I missed the thread on because search turns up nothing. Good lord how consistently uncomfortable this show makes me. Tim Robinson is unique.
  10. Congrats @Chewbacca and all Nuggets fans. I hate that the season is over. Hopefully we can get some Drew League on TV. And honestly I'm tapping in to the W. Fuck the haters.
  11. A coupe of other things that might be worth checking out if you are just strolling downtown on or around the Mag Mile - the Bloomingdales mall across Michigan Ave from the Hancock is pretty cool, and the Macy's department store on State Street is fairly mind blowing. We were there around Christmas so everything was all done up but it would still be cool to see any time of year. 10 story department store with a balcony all the way around. Very old school. Full on candy shop and bookstore in the basement. Food court on the top story and you can look all the way down to the ground floor.
  12. Is Hancock tower covered by City Pass? I know they have Tilt and some other cool stuff at the observation level but FYI the lounge on the 96th is free entry and kinda fancy but kid friendly. You can get some fun mocktails and stuff. If you get there a half hour before it opens up you will have your pick of seating.
  13. Definitely rent a stroller and in July consider leaving the park to go get lunch. Especially those where you don't have to traverse a lagoon to get to your car. Or Uber. You don't want to be wandering around the park in the middle of the day in July with an 8 and a 4 year old. The day you have the hotel utilize that for a midday nap/swim break. Go early, leave when it gets miserably hot, come back early evening and stay until close imo. Good luck, if you plan properly everyone will have a good time, adults included.
  14. Check in bro. Let us know you are doing ok.
  15. I did an Alaska cruise with my wife pre kids (08 maybe) on Princess. We were the only people on the boat under 114 years old.
  16. Uncle Rollie: That's why I got a tattoo of Lady Justice Primo: Is that Halle Berry? Uncle Rollie: Yeah you see at one time she was married to David Justice 😂 This is a good show. It's not next level humor but the characters are all relatable and funny... And I think Drea is hot. It surprises me that I laugh out loud a couple times per episode for a pretty benign sitcom.
  17. Not everything is to be taken literally. And how dare one disrespect the kumite.
  18. I don't know if LC was National when I was a wee tyke but they've always had some pretty good commercials. The origami pterodactyl is an all-timer for me.
  19. I had something typed in the editor but it's probably too much. I just want to say that I've never had a television series make me actually fucking cry for no reason more than Ted Lasso. I'm weak in this area and it's my mom's fault. Hell I hold everything else inside, no idea why Bloodsport make me shed tears but it does. Ted Lasso speaks to my soul. Fantastic show. Well done to Jason Sudekis and whoever else dreamt this thing up.
  20. Currently watching the finale. Just want to say that I would like to volunteer to go on the Drink Sleep Fuck tour with Rebecca. My elbows might get a little pointy in line, sorry about that.
  21. On the tallow front, I found out today that this is a thing. And probably a little less smelly. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0881XTCR3/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1
  22. I get annoyed by the commercial where you think the dad is dropping his 19 year old daughter off at college (only after off roading through Zion National) only to find out she's dropping him off at his dorm to experience college. How the fuck does that work? Where do I sign up?
  23. Searched, can't believe there's not a thread. I watched the first two episodes last night. I liked it. It is a sitcom based roughly on SS's childhood upbringing in San Antonio raised by his mother and 5 or 6 uncles. It's pretty funny and entertaining. I watched it on Amazon Prime through some other app called Freevee. Check it out if you're so inclined. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Primo_(TV_series)
  24. Thanks for the thoughts. It is not reverse flow. There is exposure to the firebox underneath the lower grate adjacent to the firebox but it has an adjustable 1/2" thick damper that slides and I keep it shut unless I'm trying to blast something. There is a fixed 12" plate in the middle and another 12" plate damper that can either slide underneath the middle one if you want to keep direct access to the firebox open, or closed. I can post a pic tomorrow.
  25. This is something I was going to post about. Again I don't cook nearly as often as I used to. I have definitely noticed when I cook brisket on my offset or even on my primo (cap down, always. Cap up was a disaster) that the very bottom layer burns, regardless of temp. I set them up cap down, point towards the firebox, damper fully closed. I have been keeping temps low lately to control things. I don't think I ever got above 230 in the middle where I measure temps. All of them wind up with a crust so pronounced that it either sticks to the grates, foil/butcher paper, or I discover when carving that I can't cut all the way through and have to carve off the bottom layer as I get towards the point end. I'm wondering if maybe I should ice the cap side before putting them on. I can understand this being an issue when I used to cook at 325 but I don't do that anymore.
