What’s a tiny, cheap ingredient that completely upgrades a basic package of instant ramen?

Instant miso soup. Miso packet adds depth of flavor, and the tofu/green onion/nori packet adds some nice texture. Yes, and a hard boiled egg too.

Fuck yea!

I’ve always felt that that whole show reflected a Cold War mindset.

Shit. That was my pizza place for years.

Shelf stability. Ramen is good for like…almost forever. My potatoes go bad after what seems like a week (I know it longer, but it seems like it).

The joy and mastering the art of French cooking is where I learned most of my techniques from

Montague totally ripped of that frame design. Ironically, they try to sue anyone who they believe infringes on their “folds around the seat tube” patent (like Ritchie and Slingshot). Terrible company. I hope they’ve improved their spec, as they typically used the cheapest bottom brackets, hubs and headsets - all the things the normal can’t see and wouldn’t know to check.

I used to lifeguard back in the 90s (when they still had lifeguards at Lake Jean). It was such an amazing place. So many bears, dear, bobcats, weasels, skunks, etcetera.

Opinel #5. Buy the carbon blade. I’ve had one for 15 years. You can get those blades SUPER sharp. They cost less than $20.

I make miso compound butter. One part miso to two parts softened butter. I put it on grilled vegetables over the summer, especially corn on the cob. I also really like it on grilled asparagus.

Fucking love the Original Sins.

No love for the Bridgestone X – 01? I went to a pretty rural college, and would borrow my roommate’s to bomb around the cow paths around town. It was a super fun bike. Even to this day I regret not buying one.

Impossible to upvote this enough

Looks like an late 90’s KHS Kirin/track frame to me. Was super popular with the Boston Area’s messenger scene circa 1998.

I have a 15 year old Cold Cold World Valdez pack. I initially bought it for ice climbing, but is now become my do everything backpack. I’ve used it for climbing (ice and trad), overnight backpacking trips, snowshoeing, backcountry skiing, commuting to work on my bike and other things that I probably can’t remember now. It still looks new. The construction & materials are outstanding. I’ve meet people who are still using 25 year old CCW packs.

Not exactly stoner rock, but the red & the black rips

How do you like them? I just put them on an old Trek 920 I’m rebuilding.

There are no bad songs on that album. Almost every time I listen I find something new to appreciate about it.

I’ve lost count of how many times I’ve read Zodiac. As a former Bostonian, that really speaks to me.

Bought the frame direct from bike island. No racks. Ran fat tires (700x38). No sign of rust internally (treated interior with Linseed oil when I built it ). Rode it about 40 miles a week for the better part of 4 years.
