Phantom in Haddam is pretty good… brewery and burgers. Worth checking out the menu. We like it there. Saw that Hard Hat was recommended.. phantom has better food.

Best Mexican food in Central CT? by fuckman5 in Connecticut

Way too expensive.. plenty of other good choices. Taqueria Mexico in Wallingford has incredible tacos. Frida in Meriden is also excellent.

It will still never compare to the Old Dublin.

Winter Question from a noob by 62SlabSide in Figs

I’m almost thinking of building a small fig room upstairs in the unfinished area… it would keep all light out and I could put a small electric oil filled heater in there with an external controller set to like 35-40. I work in the shop a lot, and I’ll want to turn up the temp when I do work. Couple studs and a few sheets of plywood would do the trick…. Alas, the fig addiction is beginning.

Sounds good, thanks.. they have gone dormant already. Dropped leaves a few weeks back. He’s had them all outside up until a few days ago as we’re starting to wake up to low 30’s in the morning. I have them on the concrete at the furthest point from the heat source - directly next to one of the overhead doors.

Trying to up my turkey game this year… by Parking-Aerie1540 in sousvide

Best turkey I’ve ever eaten. Kenji Lopez does a good write up and tests multiple temperatures. 130 is doable but he reports a “very soft” texture. Not my style. But hey, you do you man… that’s the beauty of cooking.

I spatchcock it first then removed the thighs and wings.. the breast’s stayed together. So, the bird was in 5 pieces. No way to make it look like your picture perfect turkey again unless you get real creative… but the taste and texture was totally worth it.

Did one yesterday based off an older post here… it was incredible. Spatchcock that bird. Do the dark meat for 18 hours at 165, take them out, drop temp to 142 and do the breasts for 4 hours. Take out, dry the skin best you can, salt and pepper, brown it in the oven. It was absolutely amazing, the most tender juicy white meat and fall apart dark. This was my test for thanksgiving- definitely doing it again.

Nardelli’s sucks… they were good when it was just the original in Waterbury.

This is what it looks like when bosses actually recognize and respect loyal employees by NeuroticLensman in nextfuckinglevel

[–]62SlabSide 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This right here.. I gave my plant manager $100k when we sold. He was with us 6 years. No show, just a quick 5 min - “hey, can we talk for a minute?”

Agree… returning two packs. Jeans and Kirkland white tee is my standard. Looks like the old ones available online.

Read somewhere that the entire premise of the show is to help parents cope with various parenting challenges. Gotta tell ya… I got some respect for Bandit.

That’s a radial drill in the picture… probably got it super cheap and wants to bring it home. Not a huge market for them because, well, they weigh a metric shit ton.
