What you did today

[LadyCrimson]

I cooked for friends most of the day. Made chicken-fried steak, mashed potatoes, macaroni and cheese, green beans, biscuits, and Red Velvet cake. Drank some nice beer called Obsidian Stout. Definitely going to hit the gym tomorrow.

All I saw was "Red Velvet cake." Mmmm.

I lost the last of the weight I gained during the winter. Down to 183 pounds.

Also my GPU finally crapped out, so I'm just going to build a new rig instead of upgrade and wait for the mobo or processor to fail or become obsolete. Goodbye $1300!

 

I went to the store and bought a fill rack of spare ribs. I dry rubbed them with a rub I read how to make, wrapped them in plastic wrap and put them in the fridge. tomorrow they go in the smoker. I also bought some turkey tenderloins I'll cut up and make jerky for Tommy. For tonight I'm going to pan sear a Tilapia fillet with some grilled zucchini. Then I'll retire to the front porch with a Sam Adams or two and watch the sun set. I'd call that a good day!

Pork or Beef?

 

If Beef, make sure you give them at least 10 hours to smoke, preferably using pecan wood. If Pork, you should have bought Beef Ribs.

 

Beef of course. Pork is too fatty. They are pretty good sized too. I put them in about two hours ago. It's almost time to add the next tray of wood chips. The water I have to refill every 2-3 hours as well. They are smoking nicely, can't smell them yet though. I'm using apple wood chips. I washed the jerky strips in low sodium Teriyaki and put them in the top rack about 15 minutes ago.  I bought some fresh jalapenos chop up and make cornbread with and I'll steam carrots to top it all off. Too bad I'm the only one here to appreciate this!

6 parties in 12 hours and ended up taking a girl to the national museum at 10am to see surreal art after an after party in a nearby park. Crazy day.

 

Edit. Also now I'm dying for spareribs... Thanks GD..

[Walsingham]

Damnit, GD. I'm salivating like a returning husky.

[Tigranes]

I am now in London. Britain welcomed me by having the arrival tube doors seal everyone in the plane shut for half an hour, but that's what I get for using Gatwick. Came too late for today's affairs so walked around the Hyde Park and Paddington area. Nice city, I like the vibe even if the tube has the population density of ants in a honey pot. 

 

Now for curry.

[Guard Dog]

 Don't blame me, Bruce started this!

 

BTW, I'm on my third Sam Adams already so if my posts make less & less sense as the day wears on that's why

[PK htiw klaw eriF]

Perhaps we need a what you've been eating thread...

 

And GD, while I disagree with your politics, I have to salute you for recognizing the clear superiority of beef.

OMG that sounds amazing

 

Quick question why would you put jerky with your barbeque? Is this uncooked jerky?

 

In South Africa we don't get jerky but we get something similar called Biltong. But you never put that in the barbeque as its eaten on its own.

[mkreku]

Went to a party yesterday (with actual photo models, no joke!), and naturally I wanted to get the girls drunk. So I bought this expensive vodka with pear taste, Sprite and some Swedish icecream that's perfect to make summer drinks from.

 

I started to mix the stupid icecreams but they didn't melt fast enough, so I thought I'd hasten the process by letting hot water run on the outside of the decanter.

 

 

FFFUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU

 

I didn't score any models either.

[Rosbjerg]

I feel for you man...

I'd expect no less from you on that count. No self respecting Texan is going to smoke pork ribs unless all the cows on earth suddenly disappeared!   

 

As for not agreeing with my politics, that's ok too. You probably don't like the same sports teams I do either.

[Guard Dog]

You know those things they put in your car that you have to blow into so you can't drive drunk? I think the internet needs one too. Otherwise you end up shopping while buzzed and buy dumb things like this: https://www.bakeabone.com/

 

I just bought one!

[Woldan]

Just returned from the rock festival.

Man that was hardcore, 150.000 people, three stages as tall as an 8 story building, tents as far as the eye could see, moshpit was a deathtrap when Rammstein played, I can't describe the smell you get when tens of thousands of people don't use the toilets (at 32 Celsius weather!) because they were all overflowing with poo and piss and there was so much trash laying around that I had to wear may army boots.

I also only slept about 5 hours in three days, my neck hurts from the headbanging, couldn't shower even once, only ate overpriced burritos....awesome.

 

Though the best thing was seeing an entire Rammstein live concert from the fourth row; only 10 meters away from the stage, and for a couple of minutes on someones shoulders. 

 

I also didn't expect Kiss to be THAT great, they're killer live. Old guys you say? They rocked WAY harder than most guys half their age on the stage!

Well they're old, they're on twice as many drugs as guys half their age.

I doubt the members of KISS still take drugs, I'll be very surprised?

Not gonna lie, I kinda giggled because I have to drill that exact lesson (or rather had) into every trainee at my store. Today was my last real day, Tuesday is the last technical day, but that shift is only 2 hours for a meeting. Thursday is the start of the new job.

 

And tomorrow I have to write a 8ish page paper on Kosovo (wheeeeee )

Guys you should read this article, a British tourist in New Zealand fell 13 stories and survived after trying to climb into his 15th  floor apartment from the floor above. He is a very lucky man !!!

Errands. Laundry. Lots of laundry. Household chores, running back and forth with the dogs. Dealing with an attention seeking/brush seeking cat. Hoovering. Mom's having a few bad days, and her pain issues are kicking in bad today as well. So regular heating up of wheaty-bag-doohickies that she can put against her joints for some help, and making sure her meds are available.

 

Have to head out this afternoon to help pick up a new mobility buggy as well, supposedly this one will fit in the back of her car so she can take it out with her. So then it'll be figuring out exactly how it folds down, how easy it really will be for mom to use it, sorting out ramps to get it on/off the car, and then making sure there's space and area in the garage for it...

 

Currently taking a moment for a cup of tea and a warm scone.

[ShadySands]

The Spurs won game 5 last night so I'm hoping they can keep some momentum going and close out the series. They can't keep trading wins because I think that if Miami wins game 6 then they will also take game 7

Thanks to Mkreku, I went and bought a box of "Piggelin" popsicles.

 

They were nummy.

[Walsingham]

Currently taking a moment for a cup of tea and a warm scone.

 

I can't get scones any more. Grandmothers and mum are dead.

 

And before anyone says it: I'm not baking my own scones. If I'm going to go gay it'll be done properly, with plenty of drugs and parties.

Ah-hah! Next time we're all up in London, High tea at the Ritz..  Great scones with lashings of jam and cream..

Scones are great, had one for breakfast just now. This Romanian band Cargo isn't too bad. Although for all I know they can be singing about burning cars or something. Still listening to that station, at least it doesn't devolve in Slayer hour every day like my previous one.
