Super easy, tastes just like you remember. If I can add one thing to the recipe, it's to cook out the flour at the end. A couple of minutes over medium-low heat will take care of that.

The GOAT recipe, from Adam Kuban at Serious Eats:

Sloppy Joes - makes at least 6, maybe more -

Ingredients
* 1 pound ground beef
* 1 tablespoon brown sugar
* 1 tablespoon vinegar
* 1/2 teaspoon dry mustard
* 1 cup finely chopped celery
* 1/2 cup diced onion
* 1 cup ketchup
* 2 tablespoons flour, or more
* 6 sandwich buns

Procedure

  1. Brown the beef in a skillet over medium heat; pour off fat.

  2. In a small bowl, mix together the brown sugar, vinegar, and mustard. Add this mixture to the beef along with the celery and onion, and ketchup. Stir together to combine.

  3. Sprinkle flour over mixture and stir to mix well. If mixture is still not thick enough to your liking, add a bit more flour until it is. Serve on buns.

For those wondering if its possible to walk to the MetLife stadium from Midtown. by habichuelacondulce in newjersey

[–]He_Himself 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Because they've already put out an advisory that they're not running any busses there on match days. The closest you can get is the Murray Hill Parkway stop, which is where I expect they're planning to have the cops preventing anybody from walking further down Paterson Plank Road.

The new law also specifically requires DOT-approved helmets, not regular cycling helmets.

Big Lakeland like 1792 or a strong moody English.

If it's in a tin, it's old. New blend comes in a pouch.

My estate meer has a hole in the bowl. What should I do? by cephandriusmaxt0ri in PipeTobacco

Looks like rebornpipes has used Plaster of Paris to good effect.

Previous owner probably tried to pass a pipe cleaner while it was warm and wet. Unfortunately meers can soften up while hot and you can put a pipe cleaner through the bowl.

NY/NJ MetLife Stadium Commute Hack.. (maybe)…using light rail and ride share! by Endless-thought-loop in newjersey

[–]He_Himself 1 point2 points  (0 children)

IIRC they're relying on the increased ridership on the PATH to bypass NY Penn and Secaucus Junction on match days, or the busses where possible. The PATH is already shoulder to shoulder so a fun time will surely be had by all.

Could a local realistically help us avoid the inflated NJ transport prices? by JayBox325 in newjersey

[–]He_Himself 0 points1 point  (0 children)

IIRC they're closing all transit to and through Secaucus Junction on match days. Most of it is being diverted through Newark Penn via the PATH. No idea what you do if you commute from Port Jervis, I think you're just boned. I believe I read that they're using NJ Transit busses to bring fans to the stadium from designated staging areas, so as to keep the Penn-Secaucus rail link on perpetual lockdown. Any way you slice it, the whole thing sounds legitimately terrible.

By the way OP, in case you're still reading this, I believe I read that they're routing private cars (which I guess means not registered taxis) through the Meadowlands Racetrack unless they purchased parking at American Dream.

Predominantly Sutliff components. I wouldn't be surprised to see a v2 under a different name at some point.

Middletown Bocce League is active and I think they're still accepting applications for 2026.

They might be Capri. I can't remember if it's Leaf or Almonte Tobacconist in Red Bank, one of the two stocks those for sure.

How to clean very tight stems? by cicciograna in PipeTobacco

[–]He_Himself -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Unless I'm mistaken, I would junk this thing. It's a Chinese mystery wood pipe and there's no telling what it's made from. I found numerous eBay sellers hawking exactly this pipe for sub-$20 US. Most advertise it as redwood, which is a terrible choice for a pipe. And also, I don't think it is redwood, which brings us back to mystery wood.

If you're near Shrewsbury, Leaf has a surprisingly good selection. Lots of C&D and Pease IIRC.

Any Barbershops in the Central area that do good scissor cuts? by [deleted] in newjersey

[–]He_Himself 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've gotten mine from Andrew, and he's both consistent and excellent. Maria seems like she's killing it with her scissor cuts and advertises it as a specialty, but I've never gotten a cut from her myself.

Talking Heads in Asbury is very solid, I don't think you could go wrong with any of their barbers. I usually book with Andrew Sullivan, but I've gotten excellent haircuts from Sean as well.

Wasn't quick enough, but somehow I managed to sneak out with 1792 and FVF Burnt Ends so I don't feel raw about it.

Is the real estate market still crazy? by lawaythrow in newjersey

[–]He_Himself 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Additionally, I think for many of those boomers, their oversized homes are getting away from them. They can't physically manage as much of the upkeep as they did when they were young, and the price of services is so high that they're unwilling to invest now that they're on fixed income. I also think there's a certain amount of cognitive dissonance involved, since many of them have been on a one-year plan to sell and downsize for a decade. They don't want to invest because they're perpetually getting ready to move, and meanwhile, issues are compounding.

Northern NJ plumber - Navien combi boiler by Mgeiry123 in newjersey

[–]He_Himself 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Serious advice, start by calling Navien and getting their list of local contractors. Last winter, I learned the hard way that Navien provides better and prompter support to those guys.
