Happy Saturday night, my dear (and not so dear) Glibs. Just kidding! You know I love all of my (non-pineapple pizza) peeps.
Keeping this short and sweet because I need to go make real pizza and drink some more wine.
Next week, there are great articles scheduled for your edification and delight, courtesy your fellow members.
We’ve got the links brought to you by the Usual Suspects–Sloopy, Brett L, and OMWC, with possible last minute subs if anyone is questionable (hahahah those guys are ALL questionable!) or out with a hammy or torn ACL. I expect the Giant Floating Stone Head and/or the SMITH family may surprise us sometime during the week, too, and by surprise, mean…surprise.
Tomorrow, Not Adahn is warning you about the coming week and OMWC is sharing a trio of delicious recipes. Gadianton and Web Dom both return on Monday. Tuesday brings a non-GlibFit post from trshmnstr and a “Working Your Wood” post from I.B.McGinty. Wednesday wends weird thanks to two, count ’em, TWO posts from SugarFree. trshmnstr and the missus will be along with a GlibFit post, too.
Thursday, UnCivilServant has another Kitbash installment for us, BakedPenguin helps you with your legal wagering activities, and CPRM talks about everyone. Friday brings the ever popular What Are We Reading Post. Saturday mexican sharpshooter brings us a review, possibly about beer, possibly about something else. And that brings us full circle!
So, that’s what’s coming up. Now I’m back to Pizza Night and you can comment, snark, vent, rejoice or whatever on the Saturday Night Open Post!

Pizza Night
With “Little Caesar’s” cheese pizza? Smdh….
Jk. I have a Red Baron supreme in the freezer. Might toss it in the oven.
If you were in the neighborhood, I’d invite you to come by. Alas. More for us. 😉
I have Stouffer’s French Bread pizzas in the freezer that are looking good right about now.
It’ll probably be as controversial as deep dish or pineapple, but I I have a couple Totino’s Party Pizza’s I’m excited about. Now, I wouldn’t call them pizza, but once in a while those things can be delicious.
Guilty pleasure confession: we love the Totino’s “pizza” rolls now and then. Great junk food.
I, too, love Totino’s pizza rolls.
How little they understand what “Pizza Night” means.
This is true.
I crave Totinos party pizzas on occasion. They are awesome and you can’t go wrong for a buck and change.
I walked down to the bar to get a burger, but apparently, there is some football game on and the place was packed, so I’m just going to eat a sleeve of saltines and drink beer for dinner. I wish I had a Stouffer’ pizza.
Welcome to Saturday Night as it;s been my whole life.
You don’t have a grocery store?
What grocery store sells bar burgers? I can’t even!
They sell ground beef and rolls.
Red Baron is good. I will never apologize for that.
Red Baron is owned by the communist Schwan’s Corporation in Minnisoda. CORPORATION!
I’m in the middle if my latest project, I’ll post when I have something worthy,
Hi SP!
Hi, Yusef!
Late, but Hello!
Just a word of warning, if I get another Hat and Hair video done, they’ll prabably bump my Everyone article. Not that anyone cares. (prabably is now a thing, because I double down on mistakes, like any good President)
Everyone cares.
Everyone does care about Everyone, but does Anyone care?
If I see Anyone, I’ll ask.
I don’t know.
So my “Voter Guide” arrived today. First thing I see when I open it up:
(These are a layer of “good government” busybodies appointed at the neighborhood level)
OK – I like term limits!
And, we’re done. My intention – if I vote – to vote “No” on any proposal remains sound. I probably won’t even bother reading the other ones. Although I glanced at another one which appears to involve the creation of another bureaucracy to support the increased size of the bureaucracy of the Community Board so it can get its numbers “right”.
We’ve got two “vote yes to giving teacher higher pay!” taxes on the ballot. It’ll pass, I know this because they’re on there every other year and always pass. It’ infuruating and reminds me why I want to move to the middle of nowhere and become a hermit.
Dropped the wifey and MIL off at a Reba concert…boys night for the OBE household…grocery store sushi and Mexican food. It’s not that I dont cook…cause I am the cook of the family but I just dont wanna.
Fun fact….the two teens in the back of the car while driving down the Strip might have given themselves whiplash with all the T&A just walking around ha!
Pics or it didn’t happen.
Get some pizza at the Cosmo and call it a night.
I made a meat loaf with home pickled jalapenos in the cast iron skillet and just finished the pan gravy. I shall later make some of Idaho’s finest instant mashed potatoes, fry a slice or two of said meatloaf in some butter and top with said gravy. I am so not on a diet right now.
Damn, that sounds good.
Wiggle your nose if he’s abusing you in more ways than denying you meat. This is a safe place.
Guten Appetit! A meal right up my alley.
I had to force myself to stop nibbling on the loaf. With your new look, I think we need to have a vote here. I vote Rhywun now has the most punchable avatar but I might honestly be triggered by Alec Baldwin.
And to think that’s him trying hard not to look like a douche.
lol
You know, if you had that 28-oz potato from the morning links, you wouldn’t need instant potatoes.
Yum!
Spinach, roasted veg, and babyback ribs here.
Got delivery tonight.
http://bearcanyonpizza.com/
Good beer list, too.
I can’t wait for the end of the “every seat in the house is a barstool at a high table” fad. Places that have no regular tables clearly do not want me (or other short people) to be their customers.
Delivery might work there, though.
Criminy, I hate that too. And the tables are inevitably *not high enough*. I like my feet on the floor, and my food close to my face.
Yes, this.
I couldn’t find an actual Oktoberfest thing despite going to two places that had advertised having them, so I made my own — smoked sausage, sauerkraut, mustard and spicy BBQ sauce on French bread.
The first alleged Oktoberfest thing was pretty good, 4 open houses in an upscale development with whiskey, rye, scotch, and bourbon tastings, plus smoked brisket and soft pretzels, but that’s not remotely Oktoberfest food or drink.

And they all prabably got laid while Nick watched, even as a youngin I can see him as a perv. I bet that’s his whole impetus for writing for reason. Did I mentionI might be really drunk, prabably should have led with that.
It’s clearly fake . . . There are no female libertarians . They made that first add up to try and get guys to buy ads
It worked.
Yeah, but I figured out the scheme and haven’t bought one since.
This seems like a good place.
“NPC go away!” Antifa chant.

I feel bad. I don’t think he’s well.
That’s a troll right? I dont know anymore but he acts like kids when they were 5
Yes.
I heard about this NPC thing this morning on NPR and had no idea what they were talking about.
Play the simulator:
http://npcsimulator.com
So it’s a Tony simulator.
Now I wish I had been paying attention to the NPR story. That is funny shit there.

Way to prove the point of the meme.

There is nothing worse than loose healthcare. I like mine as snug fitting as possible.
Picked up his & her Sig p938s today. Just ordered a dozen magazines. Next up — Crimson Trace.
Noice.
And the crimson trace won’t fit the model I bought. So Sig’s laser sight it is.
Nice!
I’ve been looking at either a 938 or a Kimber micro 9.
I find the book post depressing. Another month just slips away just like that.
Also, In Darkness sucks.
But Ribbon of Darkness is great.
RIP Marty Robbins. Died too young. He’s the quintessential 70’s fashion guide in his shows from that period.
https://youtu.be/8xvo_BBkIbg
And better Daytona results, in some ways, than Danica Patrick.
huh, one of my dad’s favorites and died only a year younger than my dad. (not in linear time, but nominal time)
Never been a huge country music fan but Marty was one I could get behind. One of Grandma’s faves.
Reading this while food shopping in Walmart. Two very fat idiots in electric scooters are playing Marco Polo. One says to the other, you know I lost 250 pounds!?!
I think I’m going to skip pizza tonight.
Got that on video?
I thought about trying to get it on the sly but was afraid of getting crushed while laughing at them.
I’m still mobile – pizza night it is.
And from checkout I can hear them doing Jerry Lewis’, “Hey lady.”

After a successful pilgrimage to Boston to overdose on shellfish, I’m in the man cave watching last night’s Boise State game on YouTube, drinking Knob Creek Cask Strength Rye. The first tranch of leaves have been mulched and bagged. Time to translation to cold weather mode.
I saw it at the store today. How is it? Ended up with a bottle of gin and two bottles of soju.
I really like it. If you like the Small Batch version, this is the same profile with a full step up in intensity.
I haven’t been a rye drinker, but Bulleit has changed my mind.
If you’re getting into rye whiskey, try this stuff:
https://www.beamsuntory.com/brands/ri
Hands down, the best alcohol I’ve ever had.
I love rye – I love the spiciness compared to bourbon.
This is the best rye I’ve had (the 16). Spendy, though.
View all Michter’s products >
Michter’s is my go-to.
Spud, if you’re still around, where’d you go for shellfish (and other things)? I’m always curious about where people eat when they’re here.
Island Creek Oyster Bar is one of the best dining experiences I’ve had. MoonBar is where we had our last dinner. The oysters were superb and th lobster roll was absolutely decadent. Roy Moore in Rockport had a great rendition of the classic lobster roll.
Do yourself a favor and go to El Taller in Lawrence and have the shrimp fajita torta.
Here’s a little bit of my latest work, the water looks fantastic!
https://photos.app.goo.gl/KhqFTTq85PDvHAvq7
Wow. You’re knocking it out of the park with these landscape features! Good, nay great stuff Yusuf!
Yeah, WOW
TY both, this one is gonna be Fab!
Dry-rubbed sirloin tips with bacon wrapped scallops and chivy, garlicy mashed pertaters. Haven’t decided on a veg yet. It will be tasty.
Over here, it’s lasagna with beef, broccoli, zucchini, spinach, carrot, black olives, and jalapeno peppers. I also picked up some creme fraiche at the local meat market, and I forgot what I was going to do with it, so I put a spoonful in the ricotta/mozz mixture of the lasagna to make it a bit richer.
PS: Does anyone know what to do with creme fraiche?
Randy Marsh can help you out.
Use it in sauces where you want a lighter touch than sour cream. It goes great in a pasta sauce as well, where you want a little acidity.
Many vegetables. Did you chop or dice and make them into a sauce, or slice and use in layers? Or….?
I made a basic tomato meat sauce, then I added the chopped vegetables in order of cooking time just to get some of the water out of them (nobody likes watery lasagna). Then I just smeared the sauce on each layer.
I just ate two servings of it – came out awesome!
You have decided on a veg. You have chives. Be careful not to over do veggies.
Yum.
It’s getting to the point where it’s really hard to watch football. I was watching a tough LSU/Miss St game when on one play LSU gets handed 45 yards worth of penalties. Since when does a team get to go half the length of the field courtesy of the officials? And that “targeting” call was awful. One of the worst calls I’ve ever seen. And I’m not an LSU fan. I just like good football and it’s too bad the game is decided in the replay booth.
What makes it even worse is the announcers shamelessly watching clear contact to the chest of the quarterback and saying “oh, that’s clearly a blow to the head or neck area”. No, it’s clearly not. I took anatomy and the sternum is not the damn neck area. And LSU loses one of its best players for the first half of their biggest game of the year.
And get off my lawn.
These are many of my gripes with the NFL nowadays, too.
Playa mentioned waiting at the airport. Footage from his trip.
Midwest? Nope. Coming east. Since you saw my post, did you get the score for me?
49-7, Beavers keep their streak alive.
Is a Beaver streak more or less disgusting than a skidmark? Discuss. Papers due Monday.
Less. One is pussy, one is poopy.
Less. If you don’t know, I can’t explain it.
Depends on the viscous nature of the streak making compound and whether or not yeast was involved. Also time of month plays a roll in such things and thus lunar and sometimes charts are needed. On the other hand, a shit stain is always just a shit stain.
We always called it the “lumberjack’s breakfast”. Sunny-side up on the front, strip of bacon behind.
That’s disgusting and amusing, well done.
The beavers got licked good.
Pounded, even.
His voice and mannerisms make me want to kick him in the balls but I don’t think he owns a pair. I don’t get furries, not one bit.
M my new job has ruined pizza for me. It makes me mad. I started working for a charter school in July. The company that does lunch for the ankle biters orders pizza on Wednesday. I won’t shame the chain by mentioning their name, but it rhymes with “he’s a slut”. Any whoo, thanks to Michael Obama, everything is low sodium. Do you have any idea how awful low sodium pizza is? I ate it once only, but have to smell it for hours every Wednesday.
There is an awesome wood fired pizza place in Idaho springs (pickaxe pizza). I’ll go there soon. If any pie can restore my love of pizza, it’ll be pickaxe pizza.
Bring salt to work next week.
Yeah, I’ve noticed I have to add salt to a lot of the box-foods I eat. It’s ridiculous.
And next week you’ll be boasting about your ‘swoll’ legs.
I find most box foods way too salty.
turn her over…she’s upside-down !
Damn. I hate it when I do it wrong.
Are you that guy from from “Food Network Star” that was a lunch lady? Even if you aren’t, that’s the rumor now, good like fighting it.
The lunch ladies love me. All the ladies love me. I fix things and move heavy things, and occasionally make sure the building is being maintained and repaired properly. I also teach the kindergarteners and first graders cool poems like
“when you’re kissing on your honey,
And your nose is kinda runny,
You might think it’s funny,
But it’s snot”
Bulleit, rocks. Bag of Skittles, yellow. Catching the second half of the Dodger game.
You mean Brewer game.
I have some bad news.
Bulliet and Skittles? I just threw up in my mouth a little.
Not at the same time, man.
I have no idea why your mind went there.
I saw you with a Bulliet in one hand, and a bag of Skittles in the other. It’s not going to be easy to get that visual out of my mind.
I’m also naked with a semi.
Oddly, that’s not as nauseating as the Bulliet and Skittles.
That’s between you and your therapist.
Meh, the only difference to me is if the Brewers win I get a few more hours next week.
But, as a christian, I do believe in Jesus.
Killing Commendatore finally out in English. Read it earlier this year, and while not as fun as 1Q84, it’s enjoyable. He’s a fun writer to acquainted with Japanese style.
At first I thought that said killing the Comadore, and thought this was about video games.
When I first saw the title 1Q84, I thought it was a Maxine Waters bio.
You fucking racist! Go fuck your racist wife! (no, please do, then pics, but I don’t want no junk pics)
I’m not a fan of Murakami. Every book of his has something about sex with kids and it creeps me out.
Then you really wouldn’t like Ryu Murakami. (No relation)
I read the Google results blip as “His best known novels are […] Coin Locker Babies In the Miso Soup”
Sounds like an STP song. I know SugarFree is a big fan. It gets close to being too disgusting even for me.
Since it’s not available on Youtube, at least here

Prude. It’s like you don’t even libertarian, if being a libertarian does mean you can…yeah, not even I can finish that joke.
If that makes me a prude, I’ll where that label proudly.
Wear.
Where, wear – it’s all semantics.
Went on the bimonthly trip to Costco today. You have to love a 1.75 of Bulleit Rye for 35 bucks. Grilling a massive flap steak now. The Kirkland No Salt Seasoning is awesome. I highly recommend it. Add copious salt before and after.
I’m not quite sure which part of that is a euphemism, So I’m confused.
I do the same thing at Whole Foods. I buy vegan food from the hot bar and add a bunch of meat.
So what was the Cal score?
I don’t know. Can you check for me?
Huh huh huh huh, He said Flap Steaks huh huh! Yeah! Flap steaks! He’s gonna score!
OT: After months of playing chess on a smartphone app against players from all over the world, here are my totally un-scientific, tiny sample size findings:
– Spanish players are bold, cunning, and aggressive. Don’t let your guard down or you’ll be toast.
– Germans fall to one of two extremes: total dunce who can be defeated in less than a few minutes, or super-genius who will kick your ass in ways you can’t even imagine.
– Serbians, Croatians, and Slovenians are pretty fierce, but they can be beat easier than the Spanish (I respectfully nicknamed one of these guys “The Killer Croat”)
– Greeks, Chinese, French, and Russians are generally good.
– Americans, British, Mexicans, and Indians are generally bad.
So I’ll go ahead and put you in the ‘favorable to eugenics’ category then.
The kids I knew in school who were good at chess were… odd. And not the ones you expected to be good at chess.
I second that emotion.
It’s witchcraft. Turns out it’s all witchcraft.
Damn.
Well, my dad was diagnosed with MS in 88, he died 4 years ago. My cousin was diagnosed with MS in 95, no major issues. A HS friend of mine was diagnosed with MS in ot 1, married a cousin of mine, no major issues. So I’d say that’s trending upward. *keep a happy face and no one will know how sad you are*
A good friend’s little sister was diagnosed 6 years ago, and seems to be doing fine.
My mom was diagnosed with MS 10 years ago. She’s still doing pretty okay, all things considered. She has a lot of pain and she has trouble getting around at times, but still independent, still living well.
To be honest for a moment, while I’m drunk. I haven’t had feeling in my toes for the last two years, but like Jesse Ventura said in Predator, ‘I don’t got time to bleed.’ Hopefully it’s alcoholism and and not MS. Either way.
Please get that checked. There are no prizes for being tough.
Could be diabetes, dude. My uncle lost feeling in his toes and they took his foot away and he ain’t never gonna get that fucker back.
Not the Wilfred Brimleys. that’s been checked.
That’s good. I’ve had frostbite on my fingers and toes and they have never been the same. Running chainsaws for years is also not great for normal circulatory and nerve function.
I got some anti vibe gloves last year and it’s made running a saw far more pleasant.
This was before fancy gloves. It was in the before time, in the long, long ago…
Always numb, or comes and goes? I think I’ve got Raynaud’s now, which makes winter even more annoying.
MS isn’t a death sentence, especially for someone that age.
My brother’s college girlfriend got diagnosed. It was the least of her problems. She tried to use it to her advantage in the Miss Hawaii pageant. It didn’t work.
Pics or it never happened.
Leann (don’t remember the last name). Miss Hawaii runner up 3 times. 2001ish. Don’t remember the details; don’t care.
I was just being a smart-ass. I believe almost nothing on the interwebs but I make an exception for the glibertariat.
and Playa totally pounded her ass, right in front of his own wife. That’s how The Founders role.
Role, roll. You decide.
Nope.
Saw somebody get killed today.
https://www.krdo.com/news/deadly-crash-closes-portion-of-bijou-in-colorado-springs/814293088
This happened right in front of me. On my way to do a downtown food tour. I lost my appetite.
I drank instead.
I’m sorry you had to see that. It never leaves you, but the nightmares do become less frequent.
Trying to drink it away tonight.
Motorcycle wrecks are not fun to witness. Only time I’ve seen actual human brains.
The gore didn’t bother me so much as knowing someone’s life ended in front of me.
He left his house (or wherever) thinking he’d go on a ride to wherever he was going. Not to be.
I can’t even imagine seeing that. I’m sorry.
I know it’s a rough time for you, but please use caution with the drinking. Bad things can happen sometimes – take it from me.
The Sword of Damocles that is hanging over all of us never really bothered me until I had a kid. I have to force myself not to imagine all the terrible things that could happen.
Damocles has a lot looser grip on the sword over motorcycle riders.
Held by a horse hair. 😉
I’m sorry you had to witness that. I have many memories I wish I didn’t have. Time will help some.
Some.
And you were in it way longer than I, being that you are really, really old.
Sorry 🙁
I was an EMT, you get used to shit after a while.
But we wish we didn’t.
Ugh. That makes your hair stand up on end. Sorry, Friend…
Fuck the Buckeyes, Fuck everything Columbus, Ohio except for the Blue Jackets and the Crew. Fuck Urban Meyer, but lucky for you that “medicine” is going to make you forget tonight’s game.
I still hope Michigan beats them by 60.
I don’t think you’ll have the Crew around to not fuck for long, at least last I heard.
The NPC meme is awesome and couldn’t have happened at a better time.
Says the NPC?
It makes me laugh. Childish and petty, but it triggers assholes. Good.

That is basically a Halloween horror movie for aging Boomers.
They like to pretend that they were Flower Children stopping the war but 99% of them were crew-cuts and housewives.
UCLA-UofA looks like high school football.
I was hoping the Brewers would make it. I despise the Dodgers.
They didn’t, though.
Yeah, Red Sox v Dodgers. Not even gonna bother hate watching that.
I really hate college football analysts. Already talking about which 1 loss team to throw into the playoffs instead of UCF. I’m not a fan, but dann. How many games in a row do they need to win to get these assholes to pay attention?
Considering making a cake tomorrow as well. I saw a really cute Halloween design that I think I could do.
Like a good cake or one of those piece of shit, nobody likes them carrot cakes?
No such thing as a carrot cake.
*raises hand like the Simpson’s Moleman* I like carrot cake
You are the enemy of all that is good in this world.
Crosses HM off my cocktail party invite list.
But, to be sure, I’ll replace him with another ethnically diverse individual to keep my cocktail cred.
Bah, youi’ll need to invite like 6 different people to get back to even.
So do I. Especially if it has a good cream cheese frosting.
#metoo
Carrot cake is good cake, Hell, I even like Xmas fruitcake. Fight me.
OK, that’s just wrong.
Challenge accepted! Grandma made a recipe that must have been 95% rum.
Pumpkin pie, carrot cake, rhubarb pie, pecan pie. That is the correct order. All are delicious in their own way.
Saving the best for last, good decision.
It’s also good in a chocolate bourbon variety.
Yes, the correct reverse order.
The carrot cake recipe from the Silver Palate cookbook is excellent.
This is true. Carrot cake is awful. People who serve it are bad people. People who purport to enjoy it are probably poorly programmed NPCs.
I rarely eat any type of dessert or sweet. I may eat sweets 3 or 4 times a year. 2 of those times will be carrot cake,because it is the superior cake.
I see that in this cake debate, there’s no love for Guy Fawkes’ Day Cake…
Am I the only one who likes those??
Never heard of it. What is it?
A Northern English gingerbread made out of oats and wheat flour and flavored with cloves, nutmeg, allspice, orange zest, and I think there may be a bit of ginger in there.
Link?
I didn’t keep the link. I plan to just wing it. I’ll send pictures, but I may wait until next weekend.

Progressive response: But our cause is righteous!
There is no point in trying to speak sense to these people. They lack the ability to see an issue from any side except their own. When you confront them with logic and reasonable facts they just talk louder. Their ratchet has no pawl.
Dunno if that’s universally true, I had a … conversation … with my bleeding heart liberal black fiancee about how believing any white woman who accuses a man of sexual assault was the basis behind a whole lot of lynched black men in the painfully recent past, in response to her comment that she thought I had completely different views on the standard by which men should be judged when accused.
It actually turned out to be a useful and civil conversation once she got past what she thought I believed and listened to what I actually did believe, namely that it is better to have some actual rapists go free from time to time than to toss innocent men in jail — or worse — based on unsupported allegations. That the presumption of innocence is, given recent history, something black citizens ought to vigorously support.
Did this come up earlier? Teen drives seven hours round trip to deliver pizza to a dying man.
Kid’s a stud.
But businesses only do things for PROFIT! Fake news.

Damn onion-cutting ninjas…
Years ago I was dating a girl who was in school at Vanderbilt. She was having a really rough week, and I had told her that I wouldn’t be able to make it up to see her that weekend. She was lamenting the fact that she was stuck up there by herself and couldn’t even get a good pizza to eat.
Work schedule cleared, and I decided to go up to see her. Called her parents before I left to find out what her favorite pizza was, and they told me it was from a local shop just up the street from where she lived. When I picked up the pizza, I also convinced the store to give me one of their delivery shirts and hats. Drove the three hours from Birmingham up to Nashville with that lovely smell permeating the car.
When I arrived I had the desk monitor in her dorm call up to her room to let her know that a pizza delivery was there for her. She argued that she hadn’t ordered a pizza, but the monitor insisted she come down to settle the matter herself. The look on her face when she saw me with her fav store’s shirt on was priceless.
Great weekend…
Anti-Communist call out Pelosi.
https://dailycaller.com/2018/10/19/pelosi-anti-communists-florida/
There is probably not a more staunchly anti-communist group in America than Cubans in south florida.
Funny how the most ardent anti communists are usually the ones with the most personal experience of it.
Communism. Live it, love it, learn it!
Those awful wrapped candies that the cheap-skates handed out on Halloween? White, orange and black wrapped? What the fuck was it supposed to be? Caramel or dehydrated cat turds. The one candy that I would actually not eat as a child and this coming from a guy that used to literally eat sugar by the spoonful.
Oh wayward comment. How in fuck did you wind up here? Bad comment! Bad!
My mom sent my daughter some circus peanuts (those pink things) for Halloween. She tried one and asked if we could send the rest to kids that are starving in Africa. Not sure if circus peanuts can sustain a human for long, but the darker side of my soul kind of wants to find out.
Parents are still guilting their kids into eating their meals with that line?
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Circus_peanut#/media/File%3AAcademics_and_Circus_Peanuts_-_The_cheers.jpg
The first circus peanuts are long rumored to have originated in Omaha, Nebraska as the brainchild of chemical engineer Richard Dye. After fashioning a foam, peanut-shaped insulation for use in preventing drafts in his livestock barn, Knapp was said to have been so pleased with the texture and shape of the insulation that he was inspired to recreate it as a confection in his kitchen using edible ingredients.
Heh.
“Edible”.
Those things are the most disgusting candy out there. Followed closely by candy corn and those little orange pumpkin candies.
Those little pumpkins are candy corn. I kind of like them. I also liked necco wafers and Mary Janes as well.
Agree with the shittyness of circus peanuts.
Actual peanuts were a staple of my diet since I was old enough to buy them for myself but after they took my teeth and I got dentures they don’t do it for me no more. Lots of the food that I used to like just turns me off.
Clearly we need an early morning links thread,since 530 eastern is the best time for me. Let’s get on it guys.
Woohoo!
Both of us won the lottery.
$4 each. ?
“This lottery is cutting into my drinking money.”
-My gf, this morning.
When my time in Germany was heading toward a close, I was terribly worried about being able to find a good pizza after returning to the US. We had found a great little local pizza place run by a family from Amalfi. They made the dough and cheeses themselves, and got the meats from the local butcher. I thought that I would never be able to find something similar in the US. This was the only food I was worried about missing – my wife is Schwaebisch, and she could make all the German foods better than most restaurants. But the pizza…
Fittingly, I was in Naples on business when my wife texted me that she had finally found the perfect pizza dough recipe. I was dubious (her prior attempts had left much to be desired), but I gave her the benefit of doubt. When I got home, she made some for me, and dear god, it is the best dough I’ve ever had…
Now if we could only find the cheeses we had over there as well…
It’s pretty easy to make one’s own fresh mozzarella….
