Re: Foods for those that just don't care anymore i do something similer. I use the last crumbs at the bottom of a bag of tortilla chips (crushed up a bit) to thicken buritto filling. Now, I don't use cool ranch, but I realy like the pepper grinder idea. Right now I just keep the crumbs in a ziplock bag.

Re: "Neat" Pictures I don't know why NASA has budget problems. Look at how far they can make a penny go!

Re: Foods for those that just don't care anymore I think I posted it earlier, but I've done faux dark and stormies with ginger syrup, seltzer, and rum. The syrup is a pleasant by-product of making homemade candied ginger. "Yazi" is a ginger flavored vodka my brother got me a bottle of a few years ago. Makes for a nice ginger martini, with a little slice of pickled ginger (like you get with sushi) rather then the olive.

Re: Foods for those that just don't care anymore One thing we did last year when The Wife and her family went crazy apple picking is to make our own frozen pie filling. Just cut and peal enough apples to make a pie, add sugar/cinnamon/etc and freeze in a storage bag. Since you are doing most of the work up front, later in the year when you have a hankering for an apple pie, just thaw, dump the bag into a pre-made pie crust (we always have some on hand) and bake. Voila. I think we made a half dozen or so pre-made/measured bags last year. If you don't want to use a pie crust, you can generally make a crisp topping with staple goods from the pantry. They also make good meals-on-wheels comfort food for when friends/family need a pick me up. Just use a disposable pie plate so they don't need to worry about cleaning and returning a good one.

Re: Foods for those that just don't care anymore I had a cookout yesterday, did something I thought y'all might be interested in. My potato salad recipe calls for half a pound of bacon, but I cooked up a whole pound. I diced it before cooking, so ended up with a bowl of fresh bacon bits. Half went in with the potatoes, and I just mixed the other half in with the ground beef to make bacon burgers. Cheese was applied later. Yum. The other interesting thing that came out of yesterday was me remembering to pick up some naan to go with chicken satay skewers. One step closer to my grilling trifecta project.

Re: What Have You Watched Recently? Sherlock Holmes, game of shadows ST:TOS "The Cage" and "The Man Trap" The Wife is getting a little burnt out on "Top Gear" so we switched to watching the original Star Trek via netflix in order. Retro fun.

Re: "Neat" Pictures But with 9 lives each, they have more then one "dyin' day" How does that work out?

Re: What Have You Watched Recently? John Carter (of mars) As someone who hasn't read the books, I went into this cold. It stood on it's own fine, although they could have added more details in a few places. I think they spent a little too much time on earth. The movie was quite long, and could have used a trim.

Re: Foods for those that just don't care anymore Now, I could see something that -looked- like a cinnamon roll pizza working, but you'd have to change the whole thing, from the dough on up. Roll out pizza dough in a rectangle Put down a thin layer of red sauce (or alternatively pesto or butter/garlic spread) Optionally add pizza toppings/herbs Roll, cut into sections, bake as if making cinnamon rolls Once done, top with cheese/toppings, finish under a broiler to get everything melty and gooey warm.

Re: "Neat" Pictures Is that a still from a new indie retro-period atomic horror movie? Nazi scientists in a secret base were tinkering in things that were in the realm of God; They soon learned the folly of using an elk as a test subject... I've watched worse.

Re: Foods for those that just don't care anymore The Wife's aunt, who moved to Tennessee sent up a bottle of BBQ sauce as a gift. I thought the best way to showcase it was a nice pulled pork sandwich. After tasting it, I think ribs would have been a better call, but the pulled pork is crazy easy to make. All you need is a crock pot and 6-8 hours (plus a pork shoulder, bay leaf, 12oz can of coke, and a medium onion, quartered) And now I have some leftovers to try an idea my brother had. Take the leftover pork and mix it with ground beef to make hamburgers. Kinda like those stuffed burgers, but with BBQ pork shot through the whole thing. The question is what to top them with? Bacon chedder BBQ pork burger is what pops to the top of my head, but I have a nagging suspicion that there might be a better cheese out there for the job. On the topic of odd burgers I've had lately, I had one with mushrooms and sour cream (I think it was billed as an "Aspen Burger" don't quite recall) Not bad, but I kept thinking while eating it "I could be eating a bacon cheeseburger right now" Done in by opportunity cost.
