  1. Praise, Jesus? /a guy I went to high school with was Max long before the internet was a thing. He went on to survive the second tower collapse during 9/11 (as an aside).

  3. He looks like a Better Call Saul ad in the second one.
  4. Yeah. I know. But just got to savor the good moments of straight forward information, followed by a Mi-T-fine finger-wagging.
  5. Cross posted because this isn't remotely political. Preach, Max:
  6. For me, nothing beats the Willi Becher glass for all but Hefeweizen.

    If it's just twice per year, move your Ozempic dose to early in the week ahead of time, and skip the shot the week of fun so so things move at a more traditional rate for the fun guys. I don't know. I used to take Ozempic on Tuesdays and it always felt like a few beers just turned it off. But everyone's chemistry/reaction is different.
  8. For those of you who have relatives who think this was cloud "seating," I got nothing. But Max does

    Among other things, the pellet grills seem like they'd do a great job with cold smoking. I bought a smoke tube to put in my offset for that purpose (sausage, etc). But I haven't used it yet because I can't see the point of buying a huge bag of pellets for such infrequent use. I'm sure there are some sample packs I can buy on occasion.
  10. I think the advantage of the "Joe" versus the Kettle is the former's being shorter and leading to a natural chimney-draft.

    I've never had a gas grill that didn't ultimately just rot. Honestly, 10 years is a remarkable run. Meanwhile, that little workhorse of mine that is the Weber Kettle just keeps going.
  12. I liked it fine, but I think it's just one of those that others liked quite a bit more. And while I know the first part ties into the DT series, it doesn't do so in nearly as much detail as does Salem's Lot, at least as far as I can recall. That is to say, I know there's a crossover character that has a role in DT and who is on the run, but I don't remember much of anything's being explained in HIA that made that book in the DT series considerably better, if that makes sense.

    I just saw that yesterday and can't unsee it.
  14. Vacuum sealed slices definitely reheats well, and I've done that with leftovers with good results. If you want to slice on-sight, I've only reheated a whole brisket via sous vide, and while it was delicious, the bark definitely gets a bit washed out, and I would recommend throwing it in an oven for 10 minutes after it's defrosted to firm things up if you go that route.

    I have a Weber Kettle, a WSM, and an offset. I kept the WSM for those times when I don't want to tend a fire or for direct fire cooking where I don't want it right next to the fire (like on the Kettle). I've got a temp controller for the WSM, which makes it set and forget (or I can leave it off and play with the vents. That temp controller is nice for overnight cooks but not absolutely necessary. That said, I haven't done one since I got the offset. It's definitely handy for Thanksgiving turkey when I've got so many other things to attend to that playing with fire gets in the way.
  16. Cook -> Rest -> Vac Seal -> Cool in refrigerator -> Freeze (since it's a week out). Reheat either in an oven or with a sous vide (I wouldn't use boiling water). https://franklinbbq.com/instructions
  17. I don't know how many white-collar criminals they acquit, but the NE Texas rubes still convict some too. We see plenty of them. The Medicare fraudsters tend to end up in federal court; so I can't help you with that one.
  18. Can we talk about "clear and specific" while we're at it? Did we really need another standard for TCPA.
  19. Preponderance: 50.1% Clear & Convincing: Upwards of 75% (nobody really knows) Beyond a Reasonable Doubt: 98% Presumption of Innocence: State has to prove every element and D doesn't have to prove anything. Not that you can explain it to a jury without just going from the statute unless you like being yelled at by a judge. It's all ball bearings nowadays.
  20. How thick are those carbon steel griddles? I've considered this for a while. If those c/s griddles are too thin, I'd be concerned with their warping when spanned across two, bridged burners on an induction cooktop. And as for rust prevention, I figured it was about the same as cast iron inasmuch as I treat my C/S pans the same I do as my cast iron and don't have any issues with either really. The cast iron is probably quite a bit cheaper. As for no lips, I feel like that would just make it easier to get a spatula in there, and it's not like I'm playing air hockey on it. There's going to be grease splatter either way. I'd definitely put an appropriately sized sil-pat mat under it in any event. And a little grease splatter is nothing to clean up on an induction cooktop anyway. Still shopping myself. So no real world experience. edit: Looks like the one marketed by Made In is 4mm thick. So probably good against warping and can be used to bludgeon your enemies too, which is the mark of any good cookware.
  21. Oh, yeah! They smell July Fresh afterward. That's a feature. Anyway, I'm pretty sure I have an insulated bag like that from a grocery or food delivery somewhere.
  22. You can get warming ovens on Amazon for around $250. They're reasonably well-reviewed.
