I'd be a bad goon if I didn't come in here to mention that pr0k's home smoked bacon is really loving good. I think I'll finally be making the jump into smoking my own meats. Also, gourd made really tasty spicy lamb meatballs that were so good that hours later I burped and the burp tasted like good meatballs.

Oh and frisbee is the lamest of all sports/excuses.

I go away for a while to raise a kid and come back to find chicken cheese mania. What the hell goons. Good job. It's almost like the goold old days up in here. Anyone had his way with pr0k's mom lately?

Croat! I just made a main wife reference in a post.

I think the question is "anybody not had their way with pr0k's mom lately?"

How's babby? I was wondering if there'd been any consequences to the prematurity.

Oh man it's been a fun ride. The little dude is just fine. Here's a channel I set up for my family to see him from wherever. Check out the first few to see how small he was and the most recent was just a week ago or so.

Kind of. I knew of butchers and fishmongers, but I had never heard of a cheesemonger. It makes sense and I just chalk it up to my inexperience in buying my own food and trying to find more specialized stores. I just did a quick search and found a couple that I could go to.

Go learn about cheese. Here's an awesome thread that was closed for very little reason.

Hello everyone.

So, as it turns out, a "chip butty" is really good even though I'm ashamed to admit it due to the fact that it sounds disgusting. Hoever, today I read an article and there's a "bacon butty". What the gently caress is that? Is it basically a BLT without the L&T? You Brits are weird. Explain to me what one is and why it is good or why it is bad. That's goonier than french fries and butter on white bread. What the hell.

Also, here's the article. It comes from the "Well I'm glad we spent money to figure that out" category.

week one of copper pan use :

it's glooorrrrrrious. I'm not sure it's inherently better than a really nice thick as poo poo all clad stainless pan, but so long as I'm going big or going home, I am loving loving these Falk pans.

it's slightly more annoying to clean, since you basically have to treat it like a cast iron pan - but I really don't mind hand cleaning. I don't have the anal "GOTTA KEEP IT SHINY" mentality, so all the scuffs and dark stains and marks on the copper I'm almost proud of. going with falk (matte copper) rather than some of the manufacturers who do a shiny finish was a good decision.

conclusion : buy this poo poo, even if you just can afford one at a time. I can't imagine ever having to buy another pan in my life, pans loving feel like a tank.

I don't know man. I recently upgraded to the All-clad D5 set this spring and I'd say it's well worth the extra cash. I loving love cooking on these things.

I will never understand sperging over cookware. Is it tri-ply? Congratulations it will last basically forever.

Because, and I mean this in the nicest way possible, you're a dumbass. Having better tools helps you pull off some techniques you otherwise wouldn't be able to do. Now don't get me wrong, you can do just fine with lovely pans, I did it for years. However once you can finally afford really nice pans (thank you Mr. Bonus for showing up when I wasn't completely broke for once!) you should upgrade.

Also, that shits expensive, it's cool to show off your new toys.

Edit: and one other thing, tri-ply is great but they're not invincible. One of the bad sides is if they can warp. Having an additional layer of stainless steel helps prevent that. All copper is sweet too but warping is really easy because its soft and you have to be OCD about keeping it clean.

Have I invented a dish that no one else has? I think that's impossible. I've found that subing chicken with boudin noir in alfredo is pretty much one of the tastiest things ever. I googles it but I don't see anyone ever posting anything about it. You should try it. It makes it grey instead of white but drat it's tasty. Also, blood sausage is one of the tastiest things ever so if you haven't tried it, you should. Don't be a pussy, dino.

I genuinely think that a good portion of ex-regulars who know a lot and can contribute a poo poo ton of information are timid to post or just have lost interest in GWS after whirled peas. I know that I still make some crazy fun things in the kitchen but talk about them in IRC or just don't bother to post because what's the point if I have to stand on par with someone who's idea of a good thread is titled "Pizza" and took a dump on a tortilla and called it good. That's pretty loving elitist of me, I know, but that's also something that comes with confidence and knowledge of a certain subject matter.

Can we at least be dicks to someone for not trying like we used to if we’re still helpful in the long run?*

I love encouraging newbies who show that they want to try (mentos, grav, & PF for examples who are now superstars) but I don’t like the simple fact that our subforum has basically the same “bar” to meet as just about any food forum on the internet.

*as long as we’re helpful in the long run and not just douchebags of course

Can we change the drat name back to Goons With Spoons? Chickencheese was funny but come on, all good things in moderation. (I even enjoy when FYAD trolls us)

Another idea. All of us regulars have some type of "signature style" or dish even. Why don't people post their bad-rear end recipes in threads again. People have already mentioned Jizzer's carbonara thread and I don't mind tooting my own sukiyaki thread horn. That poo poo is awesome to see and learn from.
