  1. Go big or go home! Stocking up for the winter...I dig it. I'm not JimmyJazz, but, I make a very rich, heavily spiced (but not hot) bowl of Texas Red. For 3# of meat and a recipe that calls for 4c of Stock, my Pepper Mash consists of: (3) fresh diced Serranos, (4) Anchos, and (6) Guajillos.
  2. A mix of good and bad this year. My wife will begin working a 7-day stretch (of 13-15 hour shifts) on the Tuesday before Thanksgiving. Her family can’t understand why she can‘t take off (“but…it’s a holiday!”), but at least we’re spared a crazy Pentecostal Thanksgiving gathering. I would normally do 90% of the cooking amyway, so I feel like the week will be a huge reprieve My Dad lives in a local retirement home, and he doesn’t really care what we do except hang out. I’m gonna buy a few pies, make Tamale Dressing and Gravy and throw a few Fried Eggs on top, drink heavily, and watch football. We will spend 11/29 thru 12/5 in New Orleans, so…I’m clearly not doing this thread right. I’m sure Christmas fuckery will more than make up for my awesome holiday beginnings, though.
  3. Hopefully not too serious. Wishing you a speedy recovery.
  4. Bob Evans Mac & Cheese instead, and you have my go-to meal at Brookshire Brothers.
  5. I had a Purchasing guy once order 60' of "1-inch chain" to use to block our industrial yard entry gate. It worked great because none of us could move that shit.
  6. Planning your next retreat with the Seattle office, are ya?

    London

    That sounds like a perfect day. Love the Lamb & Flag.
  8. Same here. Parked my vehicle so it blocked the sidewalk to my house and shut down all the outdoor lighting. Not a single doorbell ring. It was glorious.
  9. These really are your Golden Years, aren't they?
  10. “Checking the phone after a black out.” That’s fucking awesome.
  11. I’ve had the opposite happen with one of the bathroom shower contractors. They wouldn’t come out unless my wife was there too. Look, fucker, I’m totally qualified and authorized to pick a goddam style and color for a spare bathroom. But no….and I also told them to piss off.
  12. Based on my experience, they very rarely are. Or...the hot/crazy meter is off the charts!
  13. I get what you're saying. I'm just trying to figure out how far off your fucking rocker you really are...
  14. Do you find yourself frequently using the word “incarnation” in a sentence?
  15. Wow…I can’t let that one go. That is a terrible recipe and the author is clearly a fucking idiot. Or…maybe that’s what’s missing in my Gumbo…fucking KETCHUP!
  16. I was a Senior in HS before I realized where Pickles came from. I just assumed they grew on a tree or something. As a young kid, I thought "gross" was pronounced like "cross" when I would read it, and I didn't actually know what the word meant, even though I used the word "gross" verbally. I didn't put it together until I was corrected. Whenever I read it, I thought it meant "unacceptable" or something similar. Stupid vagaries of the English language.....
