How often do you go skinny dipping in that pool BEP?

I have the 3 best tags in this thread. By far.

I'll never tell.

We're going to pull some Patriots shenanigans and start filming swim throughs.

Awe! Poor Inmem. Didn't mean to offend.

I lol'd at this one: "IonlyEatHamburgerHelper"

Dammit. Not mine. :( I didn't do any of the BEP ones either. That narrows down the list.

I have a question about them? Are only certain posters allowed to make tags?
Like mods or admin only?

Austin decided to keep them until the mods got tired of them and made them available only for supporters of the site. So it's basically a reward for financially supporting the website.

I make tags............

Meatloaf, Ashlie potatoes, green beans cooked in bacon grease and with bacon.

Wife left town for six days just me bubba and the puppy, she cooked all that at four this morning prior to leaving.

I love her.

****. I'm hungry now. Gotta go find some Meatloaf.

I kinda thought there was something like that going on.

54th Street All American burger. T'was good.

If you need a pic, you suck!

I got on Facebook and gave them a very minor bit of shit over something minor and they INSISTED on sensing me a $25 gift card to come try them out. I said no, told them I'd delete the comment and was satisfied with their response and they just wouldn't let it go. I mean they wouldn't take no 4 times. I'm a fan of the place and I've never eaten there. Gotta $25 gift card to try them out when I do though. That's a lucky server there. Probably looking at a 100% tip.

I went swimming BEP. But I decided to wear trunks this time.

A guide for cooking steak:

The lower 3/5s of that shit needs to be covered up with a towel or something. That's obscene...

LMAO

I thought I liked medium rare, apparently I like it raw. God bless my wife for fixing me. My parents had me ruined. Lol

You can put me under "Wait" you blood-sucking carnivores!

To Inmem
 

LOL!

I like it just on medium rare side. Raw I like the flavor but the texture is a little off putting to me. I am willing to sacrifice a little bit of flavor for better mouth feel.

The only meats I can think of that you should cook to medium-well to well done is poultry and most seafood.

I'm a medium guy myself. I don't like the color of a medium rare steak. It usually has that thin strip of dark purple lol.

Dark purple is a poorly cooked medium rare.

Hit and miss every time I order, that's why I stick to medium.

What's for dinner? Here's mine... (Part 2)
 

Disregard.

And I was just outside and saw I have some garlic scapes starting to form. Yay!

I'm drunk and burnt my hands.

Penance for posting that beet bullshit.

You're mean. Just for that you get a kale one tommorrow.

hey, I read that Kale was a really healthy food. I bought some but it stayed in the fridge for a week . When I finally made a kale smoothie it was horrible. Does Kale just have a bad taste or do you think it may have been rotten ?

It's not great tasting, but not bad raw imo, but that's a bit long. Was it turning yellow? If so you should have tossed it.

When you make a kale smoothie, you have to add other things like fruits and some natural sweetener other than sugar to dress it up. Like honey for instance. That's my experience.

I use frozen pineapple, frozen peaches and fresh grapes, water, a tbsp flax seeds, cold spring water sometime egg whites if I am looking for protein. Sometimes I use a little spinach too. I sweeten it with 2 packets of PureVia which is a Stevia based sweetener.

I find those fruits go well and there's hardly a kale taste at all.

Chili, still simmering, going on an hour and a half. That brings me to the question, how long do you simmer your chili? Too short, beans give me gas, too long turns to mush.

Try Beano before eating beans. You just need an enzyme to break it down.

Um, no... then I wouldn't be able to give you a dutch oven.

I looked up the directions for you...

She did have a little trouble with the lines. That's pretty harsh, though, unless you can do better.

Doesn't feel good having every little detail criticized, does it? :)

GREAT looking cake by her. Lots of time and effort it looks like. Kudos to her.

Criticize me all you want, but maybe lay off the Mrs. who isn't even here to defend herself.

And what did I nitpick that got your panties bunched?

Oh, you're bothered. Sorry. You "are just kidding" often that hurts others feelings. This was the first opportunity I saw to show you that placed on the other foot. I consider us friends. For many years. Your harmless "jokes" have upset others countless times and you've always said "can't you take a joke?" How is this different? My following comment gave my true feelings on the subject. I'm simply trying to state how jokes effect others when they are the butt of said joke. No harm implied or intended. Genuinely.

Heh... must be time for dinner.

I don't recall making jokes and saying "can't you take a joke". Certainly not recently. I've barely posted on this board in the past week.

If someone is bothered by my posting, by all means, call me out on it. But making a comment about someone's work who isn't here is bullshit.

You want to make that kind of point, maybe a PM is a better place for it.

To all others: if I have made a joke at your expense, please let me know in a PM or rep (neg or pos, your choice), and I will make an attempt to make it right. My intent has never been to hurt someone's feelings.

I really am sorry FMB. I know how much pride youy take in the WORK you've put in to be the chef you are. I've just noticed over the years people post a time or two in this thread and are never seen again because they're made to feel lessor. The wife was a low blow, I shouldn't have gone there. It was a GREAT cake. I just wanted to show you that jokes are sometimes very hurtful and make people feel unworthy to showcase things they are proud of. Not everyone can be experts at cooking. It doesn't mean they can't take pride in an accomplishment. We should be encouraging IMO. Sometimes we aren't. You're more important to this thread than I, maybe I should just bounce. This thread needs you far more than me and my unrefined techniques.

This went much further than my intentions. I'm sorry. Genuinely.

It's true, FMB. You tend to tell some of us what we are doing wrong, sometimes appropriately and sometimes rudely. I've never taken any offense because cooking isn't a huge deal for me. It's not any different that Flop taking a shot at those hideous lines on that cake. I mean, they really are pretty bad. His joke was funny but it's not different than coming after some of the lesser cooks in this thread and telling them what they are doing wrong.

I've actually like Inmem in this thread because he'll post really simple meals like crockpot stuff that usually gets laughed at but that many of us full-time working folk really appreciate using.

I don't want anyone to leave, certainly not you.

If I've run someone off, then I do more harm than good. I genuinely can think of only one time when I bashed something. As I recall, the dish SOUNDED really good but looked awful, and I said as much. I've posted things that look like shit, too (recall the porterhouse/smashed banana fiasco). But maybe I don't remember because to me they were innocuous comments.

I'll try to keep my comments in check.

Targeting the wife's work set me off. I'm past it. We're still cool.

And I want it clear, we can still rip the shit out of whatever BEP posts. I mean, come on, right?

It was a great cake. Genuinely. Thanks bro. Poor example, I just wanted you to see what I see. Poor example. Appreciate your understanding. I consider you a friend.

We made burritos and Spanish rice after 2 hours in the pool. Wife started cooking and noticed how buzzed she was but did a fabulous job. I always fill my burritos too full, my wife tries to roll them (I'm dumb), they split, she yells at me, I then proceed to eat the burritos with a fork like a child.

My wife does this. Her spacial reasoning with tortilla to filling sucks. And she does it every single time.

Who knew Hormel made great Chili!

Sour cream?

What else would it be? :hmmm:

What kind of beans? And do you use canned or dried? Does it make a difference re: the gas issue for you?

Seriously, what recipe?

Creme fraiche?

It's can chili he made bro. Hormel

Tablet died, last post from my phone as I have trouble seeing the screen in my old age. It was what I had on hand, one pound of ground beef, one can of diced tomatoes, one can of stewed tomatoes, one can of black beans, two cans of chili beans.

No, he was making reference to my earlier spoiler post.

So even canned, you have to cook them not too long but not too short? Dunno, man. I put 'em in for 15 minutes at the end and am good to go.

I made a baked potato in the microwave. **** you bep your cell phone is ringing.

Spaghetti with homemade sauce and meatballs. Outstanding.

Crazy to think chili and spaghetti is a Cincy fave

Why, the two go great together?

I had a harebrained idea to wrap some chicken breasts in bacon and grill them. We had some bacon that needed used up and everything is better with bacon, right?

I seasoned the chicken with cumin, season salt, onion powder and garlic powder. Wife cooked up some baked potatoes and frozen veggies and we added a salad. Don't bash the playing. I suck.

[img]http://m.imgur.com/Qj6pARe[/im

Remarkably it turned out really well. I over seasoned mine, but wife said hers was good. The bacon wasn't too unevenly cooked and didn't get burned to a crisp. I failed to take into account how much extra food 3 strips of bacon is and made self miserable and didn't finish it all.

I don't know if I will do it again. Not sure it was worth the hassle, but it was a good change up that ended up tasting far better than expected.

I know but there's so many other options about there lol. I made that when I was poor. Top Ramen with Chili

?

And I still got a question mark...

Did the picture not show up?

It did not. And I am still here waiting for it. You forgot the second image tag.

You just didn't complete the tag at the end. I completed it and the image still did not show. Could be that site that doesn't allow it.

This sounds like your description of your meal. Is this screen save I made it?

I've got a pork roast in the oven.

Sides will be steamed broccoli, and couscous.

Thanks BEP.

Ah so it was it.


I saw my typo too late.

What's for dinner? Here's mine... (Part 2)
