Merry ChristmasHappy New Years 2021. Things can only go up from here, right?


Right? :ohdear:


I tried my hand at lechon. Tied with shallots, garlic, and lemongrass. Sous vide at 170°F for 10 hours, then smoked for about 2 before finishing in a hot convection oven. Didn't get that super crispy skin lechon is known for but flavor-wise it was :discourse:. Of all thing I don't think there was enough far/skins

Hope y'all survive the 2021 experience!

As is Batman Beyond which I am less familiar with, so catching up on it now. There is an episode early on where a sound tech guy tries to make Bruce Wayne think he is going ceazy by hearing voices and at the end he says he knew they were coming from somewhere else because the voices in his head don't call him Bruce and I am still processing that.

The running concept (in the comics at least) is that Batman is the base persona & Bruce Wayne is the costume. I remember attending a DC Comics panel at San Diego Comic-Con and during the q&a somebody asked which side character the writers would like to tackle. One said "Bruce Wayne" and I think about that often.

Saw someone upthread post that HBO Max has drat near everything so I started poking around. I see a Cartoon Network collection. gently caress, no Venture Bros.

Oh look, an Adult Swim specific collection! gently caress STILL NO VENTURE BROS

I believe Venture Bros streaming rights are still under Hulu right now.

The reason you slash 3 is if you slash 2 they can just get 2 other tires & balance/rotate it out so they wear (relatively) evenly. Slash 3 and the remaining tire is useless except as a full-size spare as you won't be able to balance the other tires out, so they end up buying 4 new tires.

I got a text from one of my CA cousins letting me know another cousin of mine in VA got COVID-19. Apparently it's serious enough that he's on a ventilator & family members held an emergency Zoom prayer meeting. I joined in, but being the goon that I am, I was on mute & had my camera off so I could eat a tuna melt i made for dinner without being too much of a distraction.

I'm happy that the nuclear football requires a second person to activate, and apparently :trumppop: pissed off enough of the military brass that they won't comply with him wanting to nuke Iran.

That said, it would be completely unsurprising if Donnie tries to start a war on January 19th just so that Biden has to clean up the mess.

I had a tuna melt sandwich for dinner, using a Starkist Tuna Creations Buffalo Hot Buffalo Style package, leftover blue cheese from my last wings order, and shredded store-brand pizza cheese on homemade keto bread. I've become a big fan of toasting the bread in the cast iron pan by itself first, then spreading a layer of cheese on the hot pan to melt before putting the toasted bread on top. Put fillings on top open-face style, park under broiler for a couple minutes to heat things thru (and melt any more cheese that was added), then put them all together. By now the cheese on the outside of the sandwich should've formed a nice crust.

Cut into triangles because triangles taste better.

The one thing COVID-19 did for me was help me save money by not going to restaurants. I don't do that much takeout either except for wings during NFL game days, and even now with playoffs that's cut down. Combined with my choice to redo my nutrition back in February I've actually lost weight during this pandemic. :unsmith:

That said, whenif things get back to normal I'm likely getting back on that #thisiswhyyourefat life. :smith:

WandaVision is an odd show. Like a part of me appreciates it really playing with the tropes of early television, but you'd have to know what those tropes are in the first place. If I didn't get a steady diet of Nick At Nite when I was a kid I wonder if the concept would still land.

It's also doing that "take the whole series to reveal a mystery" that Westworld did & I find that pretty frustrating.

I do enjoy the The Truman Show aspect , even if you can see it a mile away.

Second line in the article:

Edwin Poots acknowledged Northern Ireland has plenty of homegrown produce, such as beef or potatoes.

If you have beef, you have the materials to make gelatin, so you can make jellies. If you got potatoes, you can make potato starch for your gravies. :wtf: NI, get your poo poo together!

He seemed like a bro douche with his general vibe and TV show, but most people have realized he is an overwhelming force for good on things that really matter.

It's truly this. He also came about in a turning point of Food Network when they pivoted away from classic cooking shows to Reality TV™️ style programming. Then there's his restaurants which are like Applebee's on a :catdrugs: bender of frosted hair & flaming Hawaiian shirts. I ate at one in The Villages, FL, and the food was a'ight.

As a person though he's great, and his Diners, Drive-Ins, and Dives show really goes out of its way to find small places to hype up. :unsmith:

How is everyone's Friday? I am not having much fun. 2 of our 3 ISP's have gone down at work today.

Feels like I'm playing whack a mole to keep all these remote workers online.

Today was my dad's birthday & my parents' wedding anniversary, so I went to the mausoleum they're at to spend my morning. Gotta hand it to Dad: having your wedding on your birthday is galaxy brain move so you'll never forget your anniversary. I remember one time the entire family forgot my mom's birthday and… it did not go over very well.

Tonight I got this waiting for me:

Current debate is whether to smoke this or give it a sous vide bath. Yes, I could do both, but which one first?

I have a Bernzonatic torch but my Searzall torch attachment clone hasn't arrived yet; should I still use the torch or go back to cast iron (or my gas grill) for finishing this?

This honestly rustles my jimmies. King Kong & Godzilla are representations of gigantic forces beyond human control (natural vs. nuclear). It's like choosing between a 5.6 earthquake and a Trident II D5.
