  1. Re: What Have You Watched Recently? Green Hornet. While I was on my second martini while watching, I was sipping them slowly enough to only be slightly drunk. Should have pounded them both back while hitting play. Campy, irritating characters, in-your-face bad effects, the list of problems go on. I knew it was bad going in (hence the liberal application of gin) but did not expect suckage of this magnitude.
  2. Re: Quote of the Week From My Life. But is there a market for high quality 3D digital bacon? ...oh, different "rendering" And, of course, the answer to my question is "yes"
  3. Re: Foods for those that just don't care anymore I have a recipe kicking around somewhere, never attempted to make it. IIRC you basically caramelize a whole mess of onions. It's kinda like french onion soup, but concentrated. Really good on sandwiches, tarts/quiches, or canapés. Potentially lots of things you can do with it. The only thing stopping me from trying is the sheer volume of onions I'd have to cut. (They might be using something completely different, don't know) Kinda like jalapenio pepper jelly. It sounds crazy, but once you try it, the world opens up with things to do with it.
  4. Re: What Have You Watched Recently? Priest. Not a bad action flick.
  5. Re: What Have You Watched Recently? The Incredible Hulk. This concludes my Avengers movie watching prep work.
  6. Re: Foods for those that just don't care anymore Next time I make corned beef, I'm going to do something similar with the leftovers. Line the muffin tins with hash, crack an egg in each one, and bake till the eggs are set. Baking eggs in a muffin tim is a great way to get a whole bunch done at the same time. The problem is getting them out. With more butter then is healthy, you can get them out of a normal tin, but if you have a silicone muffin "tin" they pop right out. Technology, it's a good thing! Of course, bacon lined muffin tins would probably slide right out. I'd worry about getting the bacon and eggs cooked at the same rate. You might have to pre-cook the bacon a bit before cracking the eggs in. Of course, canadian bacon works better for this job.
  7. Re: What Have You Watched Recently? Battle Los Angeles. Your basic alien invasion movie.
  8. Re: Make Your Own Motivational Poster A couple of years ago my brother and I split all of our old legos. He spent the better part of a year assembling all the sets we had, looking up instructions online if needed and buying bricks to replace ones lost over the years. We then calmly and evenly divided what we had. My Dad expected more heated arguments, but we were quite reasonable about it. I've been building my half with The Boy (who will be 6 in March) for a while now. My brother is just starting with his oldest, who will be 5 this summer. He is also buying new sets and smuggling them into the house under the wife-radar for when his boys are the right age. He's an unabashed LEGOholic. It is interesting to see the evolution in LEGOs. The original yellow castle, everything was basic bricks, even the horses for the knights. The most recent King's Castle (which my folks got The Boy for Christmas) is chock-full of specialized pieces. Some are cool and neat, like the lion head capstone brick over the gate. Others are not necessary. "Back in my day we just stacked 4 1x1 posts on top of each other to get this piece" Kids these days. Get off my green base-plate! (They probably have custom lawn bricks now anyway...)
  9. Re: What Have You Watched Recently? Cowboys & Aliens. Fun movie. It delivers what it says in the title, and does a good job at it.
  10. Re: A Thread for Random Videos Hey, does this rag smell like chloroform to you?
  11. Re: What Have You Watched Recently? Conan the Barbarian (the newer one) Not bad, but the gore was excessive. You can have brutal fight scenes without "OMG ketchup everywhere!" Besides that, I liked it.
  12. Re: Make Your Own Motivational Poster I'm still waiting for the "I got better" part...
  13. Re: What Have You Watched Recently? Stray Dog While I love his samurai films, I'm kinda "meh" on Kurasawa's other works. It's not that Stray Dog was a bad film. It just didn't wow me.
  14. Re: "Neat" Pictures Stjüdëbâkérs Thank you, much better!
  15. Re: And now, for your daily dose of cute... With those ears, it doesn't matter how quiet you are, they can hear you thinking!
  16. Re: "Neat" Pictures While Fjords, Cjhevrolets, and Djodges didn't trigger anything, when you wrote "Stjudebakers" I thought "Needs more umlauts."
  17. Re: What Have You Watched Recently? Megamind. Was fun.
  18. Re: Foods for those that just don't care anymore [h=2]Pate De Chateau Blanc[/h]12 White Castle Hamburgers 4 eggs 1 cup milk 1/4 cup cognac 1/4 tsp leaf marjoram pinch allspice Remove half the bun from each White castle hamburger and discard. Discard pickle, grind in food/meat grinder then add eggs and liquids or blend in food processor with eggs and liquids a few at a time. Do not puree. Pack mixture into an greased standard sized bread pan. Place pan into a larger pan and pour boiling water into the larger pan to level half the depth of the bead pan. Bake in @350 for 1 hour. Cool loaf in refrigerator, overnight is best. Turn it out on a plate, decorate with cream cheese and stuffed olives. And cut pate into slices.
