Re: Make Your Own Motivational Poster The problem I found with it is the weight. The lightest bag of holding is 15lbs. empty. While it would work for a ballista, it is not man portable. Then there is the cost. You are looking at blowing circa 22,000 GP on a one shot item to blow a hole in something. That kind of cash will buy a lot of scrolls of disintegrate or meteor swarm.

Re: Foods for those that just don't care anymore [ATTACH=CONFIG]43426[/ATTACH][ATTACH=CONFIG]43427[/ATTACH][ATTACH=CONFIG]43428[/ATTACH] Well, two out of three ain't bad. I started by cooking up some sausage in the skillet, hoping to use the fat to cook the meat and as a base of the gravy. Stupid healthy low fat sausage, not nearly enough fat rendered out, so I had to add oil to cook with. I used an egg/buttermilk mix as the wet for the breading, and just flour with salt/pepper/cyanne seasoning for the dry. Should have seasoned the flour more, but it didn't help that I had to add more flour while in the middle of cooking and didn't re-season it. I don't know if it was the temperature, or the amount of oil, cook time, or something else, but the steaks were a little on the soggy side. And the first out of the skillet was a little burnt. Eatable, but nothing to write home about. Once the steaks were done and on a rack in the oven to keep warm I moved on to the next step: gravy. I deglazed the pan with a splash of white wine to help get the bits up. Added a lump of butter and flour to make a roux. Added milk, pepper and thyme. Done, and done well; good flavor and consistency. The buttermilk biscuits I made before starting cooking everything else. It would have been nice to have them fresh out of the oven when everything else was finished, but I didn't feel like juggling everything at once. Light and fluffy. I wasn't worried about these turning out, they are well within my skill set/comfort zone. Dinner was rounded out with mashed potatoes and broccoli. So my chicken fried steak was "meh." I chalk most of that up to poor technique. I don't do a lot of pan frying. But the biscuits and gravy were good. And I had all the sausage I cooked up at the start of this, which I tossed into the leftover gravy. Which brings us back to "Food for those that just don't care anymore." Breakfast this morning was biscuits and gravy. A more unhealthy breakfast is hard to find, but it was quite yummy.

Re: Foods for those that just don't care anymore OK, I have a question that is oddly appropriate to this topic: It's a grey, dreary day here, looks to be that way for the week, and I was grocery shopping. I'm thinking old fashioned comfort food. I see cubed steak on sale and think to myself "Chicken fried steak!" something I've always wanted to try to make. Now, ~10 years of living in Louisville KY have instilled a good love of southern cooking in me, but my grandmothers were from Boston and Connecticut, so I've got no southern family recipes to speak off. And the guys in the meat department here in upstate New York just had a good laugh with me for even asking. Now I could just to a random internet search, or check an Alton Brown cookbook, but I figured I'd ask my foodie friends here in this thread to see if anyone had a good recipe to share. What I picked up at the store thinking it might help: Cubed steak Sausage (was thinking sawmill gravy) Buttermilk (dredge/biscuts) Butter/flour/most spices are also on hand, and I'll go back to the store if something sounds really yummy. I've also got The Wife's grandfather's cast iron skillet which could be put to task, and most other mundane kitchen hardware. Thanks in advance for the help.

Re: What Have You Watched Recently? Robin Hood (2010) I was unable to suspend my disbelief enough for this movie. There were just too many things I couldn't ignore, from historical context to directional decisions. It had potential, but just one too many WTF?! moments...

As with most collections, some stories were hit or miss, but overall worth spending a rainy day on the recliner with.
