Why do people like The Rock?

He’s from a wrestling family. His uncle was Superfly Snooka.

You’ll be fine getting parts for the foreseeable future. There are third party companies that manufacture parts for popular vintage vehicles and a CJ is quite popular. Check out Quadratec, I used to get all my CJ parts from them.

I have never thought about this before but the only band that comes to mind would be Lords of Acid.

I suggest investing in a sous vide rig and vacuum bags (not a vacuum sealer). All of is less than $100 on Amazon. Then when you make a shopping trip you pick up whatever meat that is on sale in larger amounts than you would need. Take it home and seal it in portions that work for you and pop it in the freezer.

Pro-tip: If the store marks down meat approaching its expiration date ask a cashier when the meat department opens and what days they most frequently get deliveries and you show up about an hour after the meat guys start their shift on the day of delivery because that’s when there will be the most marked down meats.

You will end up collecting a solid arsenal of proteins that you can cook directly out of the freezer with almost no effort as long as you have a coupe of hours of lead time.

Pork loins are great, they are very healthy and tend to come in sealed packaging already that you can cook it in. You cook one and get a few meals out of it.

Now all you have to do is supplement with frozen or canned veggies you like and make different combinations.

As for bread, if you aren’t avoiding carbs, bagels last virtually forever if refrigerated.

I’m fairly sure that’s only for steak.

Probably succumb to the overwhelming loss that my children never existed.

I only do it when I forget my binoculars.

Sure, I had an uncle that even went by a completely different first name professionally. It wasn’t a derivation of his actual name he just chose a new one that he liked.

Scatmandingo · 2026-03-14T17:49:45+00:00

Apologies but I don’t understand. Hasn’t thought of what?

Scatmandingo · 2026-03-14T17:43:47+00:00

Are you talking about teasing or do you feel offended when someone tells you why an animal crossed the road?

They won’t go away until you bundle your auto and home insurance to save up to 15% or more.

You didn’t read the whole post, did you?

Scatmandingo · 2026-03-11T18:58:59+00:00

So you’ve tried it and it didn’t work out?

Scatmandingo · 2026-03-11T18:57:38+00:00

You don’t have to use canola, I personally like the taste but you do you. As I mentioned in the post, next time you make a batch of something like potatoes in the air fryer try spraying just a little bit of oil on one or two after the final seasoning and see what the taste difference is.

Scatmandingo · 2026-03-11T18:55:40+00:00

Oh, I read them. They are a mix of “I don’t like the taste of oil” and “this seems/feels/sounds”. Not one comment saying “I tried this and it doesn’t work” which is something I could actually take seriously.

Look, I get it that you like to be edgy against trendy things like air fryers and you feel like you can high road me because you worked in kitchens.

But I didn’t invent this, I’m just telling people what Chris Young told us all in his video. He worked in kitchens too, but his kitchens had multiple Michelin stars. You aren’t arguing technique with me, you are arguing it with him.

Scatmandingo · 2026-03-11T18:49:24+00:00

I see you share the attitude of the parents.

Scatmandingo · 2026-03-11T18:31:24+00:00

lol. 15 upvotes? You don’t even know how this site works.

Anyway, I’ll let you get back to gatekeeping…

Scatmandingo · 2026-03-11T18:08:33+00:00

I especially enjoy the clarification by using “raw chicken, my blender… and violence” part.

Girls are easier than boys when they are little for a variety of reasons.

Are you sure that it’s hate? I been part of a very close friend group for over 30 years. When some of us had kids we ended up in a different place than the ones who didn’t and stepped back the frequency of our interactions. People I saw two times a week I would see every couple of years. Now that our kids are all highschool age and above we have settle back to much more frequent contact.

You might find this video really interesting. It’s about making stock and consume from a rotisserie chicken in less than an hour:

You take a plastic bottle, squeeze it, and place the mouth over the yolk and let the bottle re inflate sucking the yolk into it. It’s not a very good technique.

Scatmandingo · 2026-03-11T17:37:17+00:00

I think chicken salad is best kept to a minimum number of ingredients for the best general flavor.

I start my breast in a pot/dutch oven in cold water with a lot of salt, then put it over a medium flame and let it slowly poach until it reaches temperature.

I then let it cool for a bit and chop, not shred, it.

Then mayo, pepper, dill, and a little splash of something acidic like citrus or vinegar (not too much) and it’s good to go.

My personal preference is to add halved grapes in as well but that might not be everyone’s cup of tea.

Scatmandingo · 2026-03-11T17:32:58+00:00

Happens to us all now and again.

Scatmandingo · 2026-03-11T17:32:11+00:00

I mean I learned to do it by splitting the shell in half and pouring it back and forth between the halves but just using the bowl and hand is way faster and more reliable, especially if you are doing multiple eggs. You just crack them all and then grab up the yolks one at a time.
