Re: Foods for those that just don't care anymore
Wouldn't get me drunk at all. (Just because gin makes me throw up instantly)Sounds nifty though.
I've been playing with recreating a Ginger Margarita. (Mainly Ginger syrup made by boiling down a sugar solution with ginger slices in it and straining it and using lime juice, and tequila.)
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
My apple trees went crazy this year. I have so many apples the branches are literally hanging down to the ground. I picked a bunch and made a couple of pies and some cinnamon apple spread. More went into my lunches this week. I gave a bunch to my gaming group, and more to my neighbors. I picked a five-gallon bucket of them and took them to the convention I went to last weekend; most of them disappeared by Friday night. And my trees are still full!Anyone want some apples?
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.

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
Alton Brown sums it up best...
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
A possible explanation is that the animal in the foreground is a caribou' date=' not an elk, and the planes look somewhat like P-39 Airacobras, which were known as Caribou in the British service. I think it likely that the photo was a Photoshop or some other sort of manipulation, but they could have appeared together in the Aleutian campaign in WWII.[/quote']Feh! Your facts and reasonable explanations won't save you when the giant, mutated monster comes.

Re: "Neat" Pictures
Not exactly neat so much as sad, but
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...

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.

If you live in the Boston area check these out. I got to sample some of her stuff in the prototype stage, and it was awesome. Plus I was one of the people telling her to quit her job and follow her dream, so I kinda want her to succeed...

Re: "Neat" Pictures
Enforcer, you're posting in the wrong place again. That one goes in a politics thread.Or maybe the "sunshine, kittens, bacon and pie" thread.

I will not be renaming The "Nice Happy" Thread.
And the "Bacon and Pie" part has two separate threads, depending on how healthy they are.

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.
