  1. I've probably posted it before - or maybe someone else here posted it and this is where I got it from, but for the third year in a row I will be doing this Aaron Franklin version of a smoked turkey with a 2.5 day dry brine in the fridge.  It's honestly way more flavorful and juicy than a fried turkey or a roasted turkey that was injected.  Hell, I've done the 3 different styles of turkey I already mentioned over the last 20 years, plus one more... and honestly the second best way I've done them is the good old Ron Popeil "set it and forget it" rotisserie.  A few years ago I got stuck with a brand new one from the 90s in a white elephant gift exchange and decided that year to give it a shot for Christmas dinner... and it was so much better than I ever imagined.  If I ever don't have the time or the weather is so bad I can't use the smoker, I will always defer to the rotisserie. 

     

    The bird is rubbed down and in the fridge now, ready for a Thursday AM smoke with some already made breakfast tacos and Bloody Mary chilling in there as well.

    This is the best I’ve ever had. I can’t remember who recommended it, but thank you. This is going to replace everything but the staples.

    Heartbeat's Website has a page for locating retail locations near you that sell their product.  Went today and grabbed a bottle of the Scorpion and a bottle of the Red Habanero.  The scorpion is amazing.  Less heat than Tabasco scorpion and way more flavor.  The red hab is average - to me it tastes like many other red habs and is at the bottom of my current stash of red hab sauces.  They were out of the Camp Sauce, so I am debating buying online or just waiting for Christmas and asking for a bottle of it.  They had the Dill Pickle Serrano sauce, but I already have a couple of dill pickle based hot sauces and wanted something with more heat. The scorpion sauce lived up to the hype - do recommend.  Looking forward to getting my hands on a bottle of the Camp Sauce.

  3. It's comical their shit ability to plan something like this. 

    1) Take Haitian Creole classes... yeah, I bet they can communicate like demented toddlers, knowing curse words and just enough other words to cobble together grammatically horrific sentences.

    2) Kicked out of Fire Academy.

    3) Fly to Thailand to learn to sail only to find you don't have enough money to take the classes... (no sailing classes in the US?)

    4) Tries to recruit homeless guys in DC to help them (holy shit these guys are dumb as a sack of doorknobs).

    And to top it off the island they want to invade, kill all the men, and enslave the kids and women has EIGHTY-SEVEN THOUSAND PEOPLE.  Before reading the article I figured this Island was tiny with less than 50 residents.  

    Hopefully they do get locked up for a long-ass time and that they haven't procreated yet to pass on these dumbfuck genes.

    Bringing a sick kid home from the doctor today and I get the "I am hungry and want Jack In The Box" request that has never happened before today. Okay. They have the worst tacos of any place on the planet, but I've gotten the "2 Tacos for $1.xx" from the drive thru every time I've ever gone through there since age 11. So here I am, 2 tacos later, somehow on this thread. Grim.

    Username checks out.

    I'd go with Whataburger if they had it here.  I think I'd have to go with Jack or Sonic because of the variety and they both have breakfast too.  I am really craving a good sandwich for lunch now after catching up on that thread and then being reminded of Potbelly's on this thread.

  5. McD - Breakfast on occasion, double cheese burger when I am getting home from a track meet super late.

    Arbys - Double been and cheddar with arby's and horsey sauce.  At home, throw on a handful of crushed Funyuns.  

    Taco Bell - Doesn't matter, it's all the same stuff rearranged, but I do punish myself with it once a month or so.

    Long John Silvers - At least one Friday in Lent I'll get one of their fish dinners with hushpuppies just because I don't feel like dealing with people and going to the parish fish fry.

    JitB - Two tacos.  I can tolerate the 0.49 increase.  But that's about it from the menu.  I used to enjoy a sourdough jack or some curly fries, but I tried them last week when I was at a work event near one of the 3 JitB in the Indy metro area... they were not great.  But the tacos tasted exactly like they did in 1992 when my mom would pick me up from school and take me to my first communion class. We'd stop every week on our way there and get JitB and play hangman on napkins.  Memories.  

    Well, guess I'm off to JitB now. $3 for 4 tacos... that's a pretty good value these days.

    Gardner has been declining since his rookie season. Maybe he turns it around with Indy but 2 first rounders is a lot to give up - especially with how much they have to pay him. 

    Colts got hosed on this. My students are all yapping about it now before class starts.

    On the other end of the respectability spectrum, I watched Match which apparently is only streaming on Tubi. Oh my. So much gross out and a movie that I have to assume got green lit because of Barbarian’s success. I can’t necessarily say I recommend it…but I also didn’t regret watching it and it has some really audible gross out scenes.

    Watched it tonight... yeah, kinda fucked.  Type of movie you only watch once.

    If you are not familiar with Curry Barker I think you will be. For $800 he made an amazing found footage movie called Milk & Serial. A YouTuber I really like and respect - SpookyAstronauts - came to Austin for FantasticFest and watched his new movie called “Obsession” and thought it was one of the best horror films she had ever seen. I can’t wait to check it out.

    Milk and Serial was pretty solid.  Just watched it today.  

    Is there any way to stream or watch Obsession yet?
