Jay Carney: Mar 23, 2007; If you do that you will die on the toilet.

Was cranky and pseudo-trolling, sorry.

Making a rad chuck roast that I am roasting atop marrow bones in the oven. Once it is done I am going to slather a thick chunk of hot, quivering bone marrow onto each slice and serving with mashed potatoes. Which will be topped with a red wine-marrow gravy.

I think there is a reason cold weather makes me fat.

My word, I'd eat the gently caress out of that.

Is SOS considered white trash? I don't identify as white trash, but I did grow up in a rural area, and we were barely lower middle class and everything came out of a box or was smothered in gravy and ohgod mom PREHEAT THAT PAN BEFORE YOU PUT THE BURGER IN IT :smith:

SOS is considered to be enlisted military or blue collar worker food in my experience. Some call that white trash, I just call it a working families belly filler. The elements for good food are all there, honestly it could be worked into a decent course in any restaurant given a few tweaks from marketing.

I'm curious as to what you consider white trash cooking, bartolimu.

To me, that means meatloaf with ketchup, hamburger helper, and spaghetti noodles with packets of brown gravy. All served with a side of boxed macaroni and cheese.

I guess I equate it with low effort, low budget meals.

Not 100%, no. I like the Doh004 winning clause (pending Admin approval and the agreement of mods of the forums targeted for chickencheese proselytization), it properly ensures his Internet fame at our expense. What I don't like is your idea for Ricola winning, which if we face facts we have to acknowledge as virtually guaranteed. That strikes me as having two wrongs - continuing to fail at egg consumption and being a bit more combative than is the social norm in a thread - make a right. If there's one thing my mama taught me, it's that two wrongs don't make a right. Can you, in your infinite Viking/Aryan wisdom, come up with another consequence? I agree with the general aesthetic of not truly punishing either combatant.

I will try to think something up as a prize for Ricola, still in the non-punishment category.

Happy Hat posted:

How would one go about doing that?

For example, I've signed up for an ICSA and a NICSA. For the NICSA, I'd leave the door pretty wide open. For the ICSA, I'd demand that folk make everything from scratch, and not use like pre-packaged ingredients of any kind. Like, I'd not spaz if either group were to use a dried herb blend, or a spice mix or something, but I would tut-tut a contestant on ICSA for using jarred salsa or something.

Obviously, it's going to be difficult to judge each one completely objectively, but I'd say don't leave the judging open to a vote, but to a judge (or judges) who actually are aware of (and will fairly interpret) the fact that the two entries should be weighed in context of the person making them.

Or, just shut up and make congee and eat it. It's too cold out to care this much about anything else.

I'm excited for the callout competition, and I don't think it's a guarantee that Ricola will win like you guys seem to. He fucks up, too.

It's completely unreasonable to keep bringing up the egg thing, though. All it does is drive a contributing member of the forums away. At this point it's at least as bad as croat's two wives or square plates or anything else. Grow up.

Agreed.

And to dogpile on, re square plates: HH, they're annoying because round plates do not need an orientation, whereas square plates have to have an edge parallel to the edge of the dining table - that constraint is annoying.

So the four placement options are too few to enable people to arrange their carefully plated meal ... Just so ... That it maximizes the eating experience?

That is just exhibiting a level of OCD that transcends anal retentive and comes out on the other side... This is positively in the general area of actively inserting objects into the rectum and holding on to them tight, because of angst of letting go.

Let's call that a reverse squirrel syndrome.

There must be other reasons than this!

Do people feel the same about cutting boards? What about coasters? Pillows?

I mean - does everything has to be round to avoid having such a sharp corner that one might hurt oneself?

Cuttings boards should be rectangular, as you don't want the space between the board and the counter edge as depicted by the black arrow to ever get any food you're cutting on it.

Coasters should be round, unless you have square glasses.

Pillows should be rectangular, so as to align properly with the top edge of the bed and to prevent a similar empty space as depicted by the black arrow in the above image.

I think the objection to square plates is at least partly aesthetic and thus subjective. I don't love them but I don't hate them either. I am such a sensible, moderate fellow.

I nominate Dino as part of a judging panel

He is the one person with the sufficient compassion, moral backbone and culinary aptitude to judge this, if not objectively, then fairly.

Then on top of that I would nominate two more judges - one from the camp of Ricola and one from the chicken cheese camp, let the combatants decide for themselves.

If the two supporting judges disagree, Dino decides.

That would ensure a fair bias with respect to the individual capabilities of the combatants..

That or telling Ric that he only can use his penis to stir (stripping a ladle to it, don't be silly!!!).

I think you probably want one of the judges to be someone who spends their entire life being as objective and unbiased as possible. Some sort of scientist would do the job.

Maybe there's someone who frequents these forums who would fit the bill.

Lol. As an owner of two new staubs I still think you don't need them.

But drat they're pretty and make you feel classy as gently caress when you bring a big ol batch of boeuf bourguignon to a potluck in it and plop it next to BBQ sauce swimming meatballs in a crockpot and a weird surimi taco dip.
