I couldn't make it through the original. Don't get me wrong. I love the Duke. It's just that chick's acting in the original was absolutely terrible. Painful even. Sad part is, I never got to see the shootout at the end until I found it on Youtube years later.

It's just that, for me, a whole bunch of eating in restaurants is the theater of it, if you will. I'm a competent cook. I can make a meal on par with most restaurants for a lot cheaper. The extra I pay in a restaurant is mostly for the ambiance and the experience itself. I like looking at the...

There's this great sushi restaurant I used to enjoy. The portions were big, the food was excellent. The waitress was this grandmotherly looking asian woman, wearing a kimono, who walked taking these tiny little steps. She always used to smile and say, "good job" when I finished my Godzilla...

I've got most of my first batch of mead sitting down cellar. The recipe was 15 pounds of honey, yeast nutrient, and champaign yeast in a 5 gallon batch. I had it for four months in primary, six months in secondary, and sitting in bottles for another six months. At this point I think it's no...

Last year I started teaching in a Special Ed classroom. It's a behavior room. I get spit on and have chairs thrown at me from time to time. Anyway, I'm working under conditional certification from the state since I don't have a special ed degree. To keep it up I need to take six credits of...

Yeah, I just grilled and served. Some kind of dressing would have made a lot of difference. I'm picturing something a little salty and asian. I'll keep trying.

My wife and I experimented tonight by throwing some small heads of chinese cabbage on the grill. We basically just brushed it with olive oil and threw them over high heat for three minutes per side. It has potential but needs tweeking. I've seen similar things done with romaine lettuce and...

Just starting a blueberry melomel. I've got 15 pounds of honey, 10 pounds of blueberries in a straining bag, some yeast nutrient and irish moss. The plan was to remove the berries in two weeks, let it ferment out, then move it to a secondary with another five pounds of blueberries. When I...

The guy at first thought that it may have been some kind of pre-hopped LME, but then he saw that the recipe already called for a fair amount of hops. It was one of the trappist ale recipes I found on this site. He ended up balling up the recipe, tossing it aside, and putting together something...

Probably a stupid question. Last year I went to the brew shop to put together a trappist ale. The recipe called for Pilsner malt. The owner looked puzzled, said he'd never heard of it, asked me what I was making, and hooked me up with some light DME. The beer turned out great. Just now...

Of the two it's gotta be Lois. I've got a thing for redheads and she's got a take charge personality about her that I like. But Hayley, from American Dad? I would totally wreck that.

I beg to differ. Many a fine Saturday morning have I passed away drinking beer and watching Hannah Montana.

I was unemployed not too long ago. No fault of my own. The place I was working at shut down. Anyway, one of the local stations was airing old Roseanne reruns during the daytime. It didn't exactly lift my spirits.

Well, if this is now a discussion on the best movie ever, I'd have to suggest Conan The Barbarian with Jeremiah Johnson as a close runner up.

I think I noticed it in the $5 bin at WalMart. Always up for a decent western. Might check it out.

Anyone else like gizzards and hearts? I first had them on a trip to Russia. I rediscovered them lately and can't get enough of them. I have some cooking right now on the grill yakitori style. I've had them marinating for 2 days in a korean style barbeque marinade I found back in these...

All my buckets and carboys are 5 gallons. I found recipes in different places calling for 15 or 16 pounds of honey with the 10 pounds of the berries taken out after a week or so in the primary. I'm mostly looking for something tried and true. I've been burned before blindly following...

being new here, I don't know if it's bad form to post in this section. But I am drunk so I feel like I was invited. First off, you have to get away from the whole idea of morality. Good and bad are human constructs that don't exist in nature. There is no universal right or wrong. There...

Gearing up for my third batch of mead. I'm still calling myself novice at this point. I can follow a recipe but am still learning the finer points. My mother in law has a bunch of black raspberries in her freezer from last year. She probably has a good ten pounds that need to either be...
