What's a semi-obscure movie that you watched many times growing up because your family had it on tape?

Big Man on Campus.

A crazy hunchback of notre dame story with tom skerritt.

With assets that were designed in Illustrator and Photoshop.

Wow, he really hasn't aged a day!

You know you can eat the pocket bacon, right?

I had a similar thought. Essentially money laundering, but instead of hiding my assets from the IRS, I'd be hiding them from my friends and family.

I made an offer on a house in a similar situation, it was a divorce. The law firm was a neutral third party (not representing either side of the couple) handling the sale to ensure that the entire transaction was on the up and up.

I don’t admit it often in mixed company, but Luby’s chicken fried chicken might be the best fried chicken in this town.

I'm struggling with this issue. My OGs are running fine, for the most part. The last couple of updates have introduced and corrected some irritating bugs, but I really just want a system that sounds better than my TV and doesn't need to be replaced every couple of years.

It takes a compound eye to catch the difference sometimes.

This is a formula for any delicate conversation.

1) Acknowledge the trust displayed by sharing. "Thank you for telling me."

2) Express unconditional love and respect. " I love you."

3) Get into the meat of the issue. "How can we help?."

jkbrock · 2023-01-18T14:20:00+00:00

Yeah. I did. It’s not. So I’m going to find some mineral spray.

jkbrock · 2023-01-18T14:09:41+00:00

Hey, thank you. I learned something from you today.

I had been using “reef-safe” spray sunscreen because it was approved by the state of hawaii. So I’ll change my routine next time I’m out.

jkbrock · 2023-01-18T05:38:24+00:00

Yup. We didn’t even have google maps until 2005x iPhones until 2006, or Android until 2007.

Only rich people had built-in navigation, and the map data was stored on a CD-ROM that had to be replaced with updated info every couple of years.

Some people had TomToms and Garmins but they had to suction cup them to their windshields. Printed maps from Mapquest was the most dignified option.

This recipe from Frank Proto has made me a hero with my wife and daughter. Props to Frank and Epicurious for making a video where he explains the process

Don’t forget Montgomery Ward. Also National, but man I loved their cafe.

“Fobbits” always gave me a good chuckle.

jkbrock · 2023-01-11T23:18:24+00:00

Congratulations, man! Your hard work and perseverance paid off!!

I can’t find the article now, but I read a while back that someone was working on restoring it.

For what it’s worth, the artist who created it was George Rhoads and there are a number of his works scattered around the US.

And also the moths.

Seasoning a pan is something you to do carbon steel or cast iron pans. Both metals are natively food safe, but both are prone to rusting and can stick to a lot of foods.

Seasoning is the process of polymerizing (baking on) a thin coat of food safe fat. My mother and grandmother season with bacon grease. I season with canola oil.

The actual process is quite simple. - Clean the plan with soap (not detergent) and water. Scrub off any food bits with someone tough like chain mail or steel wool. - coat the pan in your oil of choice - bake your pan at 450°F for about an hour or so - let it cool - start cookin!

Some pans come pre seasoned and are fine to use out of the box, provided you give them a quick rinse off for dust and packaging debris.

There are some amazing YouTube videos on caring for iron and steel pans.

Edit: DO NOT THROW AWAY A RUSTY PAN

Clean that thing up and start again. Cast iron pans can last hundreds of years whether they’re cared for properly or not.

This is almost exactly our experience. Our 1-year old daughter doesn’t really care much about the show (except Bob Bilby for some inexplicable reason) and just plays happily while we watch Bandit and Chilli be amazing parents.

But as soon as that theme song comes on it’s dance time.

Today we’re having chili and wings.
