ikanreed posted:Velveeta, at least, is one of those terrible, inedible processed foods that's not the direct fault of boomers. Growing up if we had Velveeta Shells and Cheese for dinner it was special. My mom didn't buy them often because they were more expensive than Kraft Macaroni and Cheese.

You can make mac and cheese with a Velveeta roux, or you can make it wrong.

TheReverend posted:The Doors are awesome; I'll fight you. The Doors had an amazing keyboardist and a good looking lead singer who unfortunately made the most boring white blues rock to have ever existed. If Jim Morrison wasn’t so revered because he died at the band’s height, I think The Doors would be relegated to a lovely Time-Life CD compilation of late ‘60s rock full of other forgettable bands like Country Joe and the Fish and The Electric Prunes. Perfect for Boomers whose brains were destroyed by LSD and/or leaded gasoline fumes.

UK opens shops today and I've spent months trying to make gammon Prime understand that every other gammon will "just want to pick up [utterly unimportant poo poo he could have got from the supermarket]" and that this isn't going to be " popping down to" just because he wants the narrative in his head to be true. This dipshit has had only had one shot and is the exact demographic of "mild covid will kill you you moron". I once had to stop him using a hand held fan on a bus during the peak of the first wave. He's currently super pissed that the hardware store that never shut down, that he could always have gone into, is currently vaccum packed bellypork when "I only wanted to check the price of summet"

RC and Moon Pie posted:That's a funny way to spell the Eagles. The Eagles - Greatest Hits Vol 2 was on almost constant play in the car, and home when I was a kid. I've probably heard the Eagles more than I've heard music I actually like due to my Dad's bad taste, and lack of other music. When I was learning to play guitar, I started with Hotel California, I think it was some kind of Stockholm syndrome kicking in. -fake edit- Now it's stuck in my head, ffffffffffffffffuck

Hello Sailor posted:God yes. Dylan should've just hired out as a songwriter instead of trying to perform his own stuff. I have mixed feelings about this but there's no way Blood on the Tracks would be as good as it is if someone else performed it. It's far too personal. And that's probably his best album. In before, "Raggghhh music my dad likes is icky bad and for boomers only." PostNouveau posted:Jim Morrison would be bitching about SJWs and cancel culture were he alive today And definitely John Lennon. If he was still alive he'd absolutely be the most insufferable prick. He was already terrible enough when he actually was alive. Bad Purchase posted:come on baby light my nikes on fire I'm not saying it would have necessarily remained this way if Morrison didn't croak it, but what's funny about this is that they used a Doors song in a tv commercial when he was still alive and Jim Morrison hated it so much that the band made a contract, which stands to this day, that any use of a song in advertising and media has to be unanimously approved by all band members. So John Densmore spent decades vetoing the other guys attempts to license Doors songs for tv commercials.

But I've seen too many bands adapt his work to their own musical genre to buy that folk music and his reedy voice are the best representation for some of his wonderful lyrics

Dylan's earlier studio work had some good stuff in it. I've seen him play live in concert at least twice, maybe 3 times, and I have never felt as insulted by a performance. He was incredibly loving awful live. I've seen big names be lazy, I've seen big names be so hosed up they can barely stay upright, but they were all better than Dylan. Tori Amos appearing so drunk she almost fell off the piano bench was better than Dylan. Jerry Garcia mumbling through some random Grateful Dead song was better than Dylan. loving Sugar Ray was better than Dylan.

I missed vegetable chat but you can boil tasty broccoli and brussel sprouts easy. Boil the water first then throw them in as it's bubbling for a couple of minutes and pull them straight out. Delicious crunchy goodness. I get mad about overboiled greens like other people get mad about overcooked steak.

Boil the water first then throw them in as it's bubbling for a couple of minutes and pull them straight out. Delicious crunchy goodness. I got some good recipe ideas from Brussels sprouts chat. Good thing, I started nine plants from seed two or three weeks ago that will be set out in the vegetable garden soon, so hopefully I'll have a bunch. My Mom, too, boiled the absolute crap out of every vegetable she served, and that turned me off vegetables in general for several decades. The Brussels sprouts she made were dismal, stinky mush. It wasn't until I had them roasted with a Maple syrup glaze which swung me around the other direction, and now I love them. Most of the meats she'd cook ended up coming out of the oven like slightly moist jerky.

Also the stalk of the broccoli can go pretty much anywhere carrots can go. Strip off any skin that's too tough (usually only an issue toward the base) then dice it all up and throw it into your ground beef or casserole to simmer, or cut into disks and bake with seasoning. People cutting off the tops and throwing away the delicious stalk is a crime.BlankIsBeautiful posted:I got some good recipe ideas from Brussels sprouts chat.

I basically want to sear the outside with boiling water but only heat rather than cook the insides. It's actually delicious raw but I find it hard to wash properly, so for me the boiling is more of a hygiene thing. Splicer fucked around with this message at 13:01 on Apr 14, 2021 |

You can cut a surprising amount of stuff easier with a pair of scissors, steaks and broccoli/cauliflower heads for example.

I thought "broil them into leather" was how you were supposed to cook pork chops and I just didn't like them. It wasn't until I was 30 that a chef I knew insisted I try his pork chops and I discovered they can be loving delicious.
