I have a damned near perfect memory for things that won't benefit me at all anywhere except in certain games. Need the timing between when the two Boomer Knights are killed and the Sword Knight drops onto the walkway in Crota's raid in Destiny? 5 seconds. How long before Boomers respawn? 30 seconds. Will that info help me ANYWHERE else? Nope. When was the last time I used that info? Probably 6-7 months ago...if not longer.
Micah "Zem the Mattress" Philson 2015-12-15T15:31:02-05:00
As large as the part of my memory that remembers useless information is, I think the part that can recall any single quote or scene from any movie or book and know exactly when and where it was has to be bigger. I can watch a movie once and remember jokes from it years later whether they were funny or not, and after reading a book, if I want to find a specific part, I know the general area in the book it was, usually within a couple dozen pages (though I don't know the numbers, just how far in it was), and what part of the page it was on. When I'm looking through my notes, I can know when I wrote something down and what part of which page, left or right, it was on, so I just turn pages really fast looking at one spot until I see the key words.
Geist de la Muerte Gatito 2015-12-15T15:47:21-05:00
Thanks for the info link BaKhan. Unfortunately, I want to study to be a Cardiovascular Perfusionist. The ones responsible for keeping you alive while the surgeon works on your heart and/or lungs. It takes only 4 years and you make a decent amount of money when you graduate. I'm still deciding on whether or not I'd rather study for Radiation Therapist since they make good money and the there is a slightly bigger job market for it.
Rod "BaKhan" Mitchell 2015-12-15T15:56:28-05:00
@Geist, well they are both pretty admirable careers, so I would see which one is easier to get into, as long as your interest in both careers is equal. I would think both would be worthy pursuits!
Micah "Zem the Mattress" Philson 2015-12-15T16:19:30-05:00
If I were going into medicine, radiologist would be a great idea. I love radio chemistry and they make way too much money.
Also, how didn't I guess this, but literally 30 seconds before going to take a nap, my roommate's friend comes in with his food and now they're talking really loudly about their finals and I'm not the kind of dick who kicks his roommate and/or friend out just after he gets here and they're having fun. I'll be fine, but one of my favorite weekly things, a livestream, is on tonight from like 8, right after the final ends, to 11-midnight, so I'm going to sleep well tonight.
Geist de la Muerte Gatito 2015-12-15T16:39:27-05:00
@BaKhan: I gotta try something. I can't take this sh***y career anymore. I've been here going on three months and today is the day when everyone won't leave the the hell alone. And then my boss ask me if I was finished the assignment she just gave me. When I told her no, she gave it to someone else. Like I was a failure!
I would have loved to tell all those other folks to piss off but then they would have sent an email and cc'd my boss and the CEO and CFO.
F***ers!
Rod "BaKhan" Mitchell 2015-12-15T17:08:15-05:00
@Geist, you deserve better! They don't know what they have, and they won't ever until you're gone! Lets just win the lottery, buy the place, and fire those effers! If only it were as easy as that...
@BaKhan: It could be...depending on how big the company is...and damn it! I don't want a headache(physical one...not someone being an idiot) at this time. >.<
Rod "BaKhan" Mitchell 2015-12-15T17:16:43-05:00
@GM, damn! Hows your leg doing? I forgot to ask earlier.
Geist de la Muerte Gatito 2015-12-15T17:17:21-05:00
Lets just win the lottery, buy the place, and fire those effers!
No pain in the leg today...though my left hip protested my needing to work this morning...I think it wanted a couple more hours sleep.
Geist de la Muerte Gatito 2015-12-15T17:18:41-05:00
And don't think, sir, that I've forgotten that you have an appointment. Report in when it's over and you are in a relaxed and comfortable place. (Preferably in front of the tv with a nice glass of wine. Don't overdose on the hot sauce)
Speaking of hot sauce....it might actually be easier for you to pick the place to meet, BaKhan. Considering you are the one that is working that day, and I'm free. Pretty much anywhere the train/bus gets, I can get.
Rod "BaKhan" Mitchell 2015-12-15T17:29:09-05:00
I will do Geist, I'm not sure exactly what is happening tomorrow, so I'm not sure what I'll have to report. I did have to fill out a four page new patient form so, who knows right?
Rod "BaKhan" Mitchell 2015-12-15T17:31:20-05:00
Alright GM, I'll talk to my wife and see what she's up to that night, and then I'll figure out a place. You know theres a CTrain stop at Dalhousie station, a two minute walk from my house right? ;)
@BaKhan: Yeah, but depending on what time you finish work too. So it's actually easier for you to pick a spot, so that you aren't in trouble with the bosses.
Rod "BaKhan" Mitchell 2015-12-15T17:39:59-05:00
@GM, its all good. I'll figure it out. ;)
Micah "Zem the Mattress" Philson 2015-12-15T17:46:42-05:00
BaKhan, while you talk to her... *coughcoughpicturescoughcough*
Geist de la Muerte Gatito 2015-12-15T18:22:50-05:00
Funny how much information they ask for. It's like you have to write your life story first
Geist de la Muerte Gatito 2015-12-15T20:57:48-05:00
Bed. That is all.
Micah "Zem the Mattress" Philson 2015-12-15T21:01:26-05:00
Easiest final ever! Half was to make up for not having a third midterm, so another midterm, but cut in half and easier, and an overall section that was 15 multiple choice questions. The 3 questions took twice as long as the mc questions. And in addition to that, get this: for every exam, he includes with the test the chapter summaries for every covered chapter! Every formula you need ever and when to use them! I think he wants us to focus on knowing how to use them rather than wasting all our time memorizing, but that was seriously one of the easiest classes I've had so far!
Micah "Zem the Mattress" Philson 2015-12-15T21:03:50-05:00
I think he's also so easy of a professor because this is his first time teaching the advanced, calc-based physics course rather than one of the easiest forms of the class. I bet he'll get the grades back, see his class is all 90% or something, and have to be tougher next time.
Micah "Zem the Mattress" Philson 2015-12-16T02:05:39-05:00
Just lettin y'all know I have nothing tomorrow and could stay up till 1 am with no repercussions or obligations and all i have to do the entire rest of this week is pack and do one last final. MUHUAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHAHAHAHAAHAHA!!!!!
If you're wondering why it's only 1 am instead of 3 or 4, refer to how last night went.
Micah "Zem the Mattress" Philson 2015-12-16T03:02:30-05:00
Ok, 2 am. But no more! Get off me, internet! You're so clingy some times!
Geist de la Muerte Gatito 2015-12-16T07:07:30-05:00
Morning kittens. Happy Hump Day.
Eric 'Trinkets&Nopes' Baumgarten 2015-12-16T08:25:49-05:00
Good morning Geist.
Geist de la Muerte Gatito 2015-12-16T08:31:05-05:00
@Trinkets: Have you finished your Christmas shopping?
Eric 'Trinkets&Nopes' Baumgarten 2015-12-16T08:48:48-05:00
Lol, no. Barely started. Should get it all done this weekend.
How about you?
Geist de la Muerte Gatito 2015-12-16T09:18:49-05:00
I don't shop for many people and I'm mostly sending gift cards. So I did about 5 minutes of shopping.
@Geist: Gift cards are only good if you put them in a small box, wrapped in multiple larger boxes....each one individually wrapped to make them just want to smash it(just tell them it's fragile).
Rod "BaKhan" Mitchell 2015-12-16T12:40:29-05:00
Good Morning Kittens!
Rod "BaKhan" Mitchell 2015-12-16T12:44:21-05:00
So things went pretty well today. The doctor seemed to think that the hole in my heart won't require surgery! They are going to run a couple more tests in the new year, a stress test, and an ultra sound on the back side of my heart (I have to be put under for that one). As long as the results come back like he expects, I should be good for the rest of my life! So, sorry kittens, you're gonna have to deal with me for a lot longer!
@BaKhan: Good, I would lose my TO:7S and Folklore gaming buddy otherwise! And hopefully it's as the doctor thinks.
Rod "BaKhan" Mitchell 2015-12-16T12:59:55-05:00
@GM, thanks! Fingers crossed! Even my blood pressure looked good today! 122/75. I can't wait for TO:7S and Folklore! They are both going to be so amazing!
David Guidry "Doc" 2015-12-16T13:09:41-05:00
Well to add to the 3 I knew I should get this week got another one I did not know about... so maby 4 this week ...hell yea
David Guidry "Doc" 2015-12-16T13:10:35-05:00
Good to hear Bakhan!
Micah "Zem the Mattress" Philson 2015-12-16T13:15:40-05:00
BaKhan, damn! I was sure that'd work! Back to the drawing board.
Rod "BaKhan" Mitchell 2015-12-16T13:24:02-05:00
@Zem, I'm too old a cat to be effed by a kitten... ;)
Geist de la Muerte Gatito 2015-12-16T13:36:12-05:00
That is wonderful news BaKahn! Now I'll be able to meet both you and GM when I sneak into Canada to purloin all of your tasty syrup.
Eric 'Trinkets&Nopes' Baumgarten 2015-12-16T14:11:57-05:00
Who has three thumbs and just got their Z:BP shipment notification?
Eric 'Trinkets&Nopes' Baumgarten 2015-12-16T17:22:51-05:00
That's a little far for delivery,lol.
Geist de la Muerte Gatito 2015-12-16T17:42:18-05:00
The CEO of the company where I work handed me my bonus. It wasn't much but it will buy me a few drinks tonight
Lord Zombitten 2015-12-16T17:49:09-05:00
Huzzah!
Micah "Zem the Mattress" Philson 2015-12-16T18:02:13-05:00
Geist, if that's all your Christmas bonus is, I have two suggestions: 1) You could beat him with a rubber hose like the nice cop in Christmas Vacation suggested, or 2) you could steal millions of gallons' worth of tree sap from the poor Canadians and sell it. Preferably back to them for the irony and since they're such large consumers of it.
Lord Zombitten 2015-12-16T18:16:49-05:00
That second one has a nice Fight Club feel to it. I like it.
Micah "Zem the Mattress" Philson 2015-12-16T18:30:39-05:00
You can steal fat and make soap out of it as well, if you'd like. I hear the market for that is so good you could fund an army.
Geist de la Muerte Gatito 2015-12-16T19:23:25-05:00
*sigh* My belly is full from gumbo and 2 mai tai. Time to head home for some well earned sleep
Eric 'Trinkets&Nopes' Baumgarten 2015-12-16T20:45:12-05:00
First rule of Maple Syrup Fight Club.....
Eric 'Trinkets&Nopes' Baumgarten 2015-12-16T20:46:47-05:00
Gumbo and Mai Tai...... interesting combo.
Eric 'Trinkets&Nopes' Baumgarten 2015-12-16T20:48:20-05:00
Any gamers here played Robinson Crusoe Adventures on the Cursed Island?
Micah "Zem the Mattress" Philson 2015-12-16T20:57:48-05:00
Narp.
Eric 'Trinkets&Nopes' Baumgarten 2015-12-16T20:58:15-05:00
Congrats, LZ. My buddy also got his Z:BP shipping notice today.
Geist de la Muerte Gatito 2015-12-16T21:04:59-05:00
@Trinkets: As if chicken and waffles are a better one?
Eric 'Trinkets&Nopes' Baumgarten 2015-12-16T21:09:48-05:00
I'm not knocking it. Gumbo...good. Mai Tai(s) .......good.
And you should try C&W.
People, for some unknown reason, eat stuff like liver & onions, head cheese, hotdogs. Chicken and waffles... just makes sense after you try them.
Eric 'Trinkets&Nopes' Baumgarten 2015-12-16T21:11:23-05:00
My mom's side of the family is from Kentucky. They have fried chicken and pork chops at the breakfast table constantly.
Pork chops and waffles..........something to consider.
Geist de la Muerte Gatito 2015-12-16T21:20:40-05:00
Everyone knows that there is nothing but evil crap in a hotdog. That is why they taste so good.
Geist de la Muerte Gatito 2015-12-16T21:24:13-05:00
My grandmother's oldest sister use to cook chicken liver & onions from time to time. They tasted great with gravy. When she past, I never ate that dish again.
Geist de la Muerte Gatito 2015-12-16T21:25:40-05:00
Fried chicken for breakfast? Maybe after a night of drinking but not everyday.
Micah "Zem the Mattress" Philson 2015-12-16T21:31:11-05:00
I'm more of a paincake fan anyways.
Eric 'Trinkets&Nopes' Baumgarten 2015-12-16T22:42:22-05:00
Peanut butter on pancakes?
Micah "Zem the Mattress" Philson 2015-12-17T00:05:42-05:00
For me, just butter. Maybe some syrup, but I hate how messy and sticky it gets, so usually I don't use it, at least not very much of it. But you can also have some great stuff with it. Plaincakes with bacon and stuff... if I weren't so full, I'd be hungry right now!
Micah "Zem the Mattress" Philson 2015-12-17T02:44:41-05:00
Great! Now you can feel safe at night, so long as you close and lock your bedroom door in addition to the outside doors. So really, he just made you feel less safe in your own home. Put him outside and don't feed him for weeks. That way nobody will ever try to steal from you.
he only attacks the humans that care for him. oye. what a little psycho. cuddles and purrs when sleepy... but feet and hands are chew toys when playful.
Micah "Zem the Mattress" Philson 2015-12-17T03:07:31-05:00
That's any kitty. I love it when they do that, though, because it's how kittens play. It isn't supposed to be painful, it's playful, so I always start grabbing and poking back and mess around with them. But you should definitely get Nugget a claw-thingy play set toy thing to rip to shreds. Maybe make it look like a human leg so it looks more enticing to him.
Micah "Zem the Mattress" Philson 2015-12-17T03:09:11-05:00
Oh yeah, have you seen this? I think you'd really like it. http://9gag.com/gag/agVrm8r Now to bed because it's 2 and I should probably wake up before noon-ish. Haven't packed yet, have a final from 3:30-5:30, and then am leaving asap after. Otherwise I'd love to stay up. I definitely will all holiday breaktime.
Eric 'Trinkets&Nopes' Baumgarten 2015-12-17T08:13:45-05:00
Good morning all!
Should have called in sick today. Not because I'm sick, but I could use more sleep. I had 7 restful hours. That's typical for a work night for me. I feel like I slept 2 hours. Ugh. Maybe I will take later half of the day off. I do still have days of vacation saved up. Ugh. Guess I'll just walk around zombified today.
Eric 'Trinkets&Nopes' Baumgarten 2015-12-17T08:16:51-05:00
Congrats on the addition, Creeper. Yeah, attack cats can test your pain threshold. My cousin had a kitten that would leap, grab onto, and attack your head. Glad he grew or of that phase.
Rod "BaKhan" Mitchell 2015-12-17T09:23:56-05:00
Good Morning Kittens!
Rod "BaKhan" Mitchell 2015-12-17T09:24:52-05:00
Well I guess Imma have to have a poutine for lunch now... damn... ;)
Sheri L. Walz-Schlondrop 2015-12-17T10:06:57-05:00
I haven't received my game...wanted to play it on NY Eve with my pals!
Rod "BaKhan" Mitchell 2015-12-17T10:08:06-05:00
@Sheri, have you checked out the lastest update? Lots of helpful folks waiting to help you out!
Geist de la Muerte Gatito 2015-12-17T10:40:56-05:00
Morning kitty cats!
@Trinkets: You and I must be on the same page. I so wanted to call out today (it's all overcast and rainy) but seeing as I'm still in my 3 month probationary period at this company, I thought that might not be a good idea.
Geist de la Muerte Gatito 2015-12-17T10:41:59-05:00
Well I guess Imma have to have a poutine for lunch now
Poutine always sounds like it means something else whenever I see this word.
@Geist: Poutine is awesome, anytime of the day, or year. ;)
Geist de la Muerte Gatito 2015-12-17T11:08:07-05:00
@GM: I think most men would agree with you. ;-)
Rod "BaKhan" Mitchell 2015-12-17T11:13:18-05:00
@Geist, lol! Well, to each their own.... Its a bit far for my wife and I to make the later happen during lunch... ;) So I guess today I'll just stick to the former! ;)
Eric 'Trinkets&Nopes' Baumgarten 2015-12-17T11:38:07-05:00
1500 until 100,000 comments!
Eric 'Trinkets&Nopes' Baumgarten 2015-12-17T11:40:25-05:00
Well, I have never purposely made poutine, but in my yout, I have made similar dishes. I should probably hit the grocery store tonight.
@Trinkets: Unless they are real cheese curds, it isn't real poutine.
Rod "BaKhan" Mitchell 2015-12-17T11:44:47-05:00
The best poutine I ever had was made by a french chef at a little bistro by my work. Hand cut fries, home made beef gravy, fresh cheese curds, and then baked in the oven. Oh god it was good, and cheep, it was only four bucks, and way better than the stuff you get at the fast food places. He should have charged more, then he would probably still be in business...
Eric 'Trinkets&Nopes' Baumgarten 2015-12-17T11:44:56-05:00
GM. I live in Wisconsin. Real cheese curds are not a problem. :-D
So, it's homemade thick cut fries, covered in cheese curds, then, coveted in gravy?
Eric 'Trinkets&Nopes' Baumgarten 2015-12-17T11:46:00-05:00
*covered
My phone must have found the brandy.
Rod "BaKhan" Mitchell 2015-12-17T11:48:39-05:00
@Trinkets, its fries, and cheese curds layered, and then covered in piping hot gravy, to melt the curds. The reason you use cheese curds is they don't melt the same way shreded cheese does, they soften, and get a little melty, but maintian their cheesy goodness. So each forkful has a different combination of cheese and fries and gravy. Maybe I need to skip out for lunch right now... poutine calling!
Geist de la Muerte Gatito 2015-12-17T11:49:29-05:00
My phone must have found the brandy
The things our phones do when we are not looking.
Rod "BaKhan" Mitchell 2015-12-17T11:50:14-05:00
@Geist, unless your phone isn't a phone at all, but a flask! Right? ;)
Geist de la Muerte Gatito 2015-12-17T11:53:52-05:00
Ha! I had forgotten about that BaKhan. I'm going to have to seriously consider buying that. The only reason why I hesitate is because I tend to put my phone in my bra when I'm not using it so anything I had to it will have to be slim enough to fit up there or my back pocket.
Eric 'Trinkets&Nopes' Baumgarten 2015-12-17T11:54:04-05:00
I would love it if my phone was s flask instead of a lush
David Guidry "Doc" 2015-12-17T11:58:14-05:00
Woot I'm with you LZ got my shipping notification for the BP can't wait for friday....

Alright, Soc!
Eric 'Trinkets&Nopes' Baumgarten 2015-12-17T12:03:19-05:00

Boy, phone must have done it up good. Hopefully it left me some brandy
Eric 'Trinkets&Nopes' Baumgarten 2015-12-17T12:05:38-05:00

Ok, 2 am. But no more! Get off me, internet! You're so clingy some times!
Morning kittens. Happy Hump Day.
Good morning Geist.
@Trinkets: Have you finished your Christmas shopping?
Lol, no. Barely started. Should get it all done this weekend.
How about you?
I don't shop for many people and I'm mostly sending gift cards. So I did about 5 minutes of shopping.
Morning kittens.
Good morning GM.
That's the way to do it, Geist. Gift cards always fit.
@Geist: Gift cards are only good if you put them in a small box, wrapped in multiple larger boxes....each one individually wrapped to make them just want to smash it(just tell them it's fragile).
Good Morning Kittens!
So things went pretty well today. The doctor seemed to think that the hole in my heart won't require surgery! They are going to run a couple more tests in the new year, a stress test, and an ultra sound on the back side of my heart (I have to be put under for that one). As long as the results come back like he expects, I should be good for the rest of my life! So, sorry kittens, you're gonna have to deal with me for a lot longer!
@BaKhan: Good, I would lose my TO:7S and Folklore gaming buddy otherwise! And hopefully it's as the doctor thinks.
@GM, thanks! Fingers crossed! Even my blood pressure looked good today! 122/75. I can't wait for TO:7S and Folklore! They are both going to be so amazing!
Well to add to the 3 I knew I should get this week got another one I did not know about... so maby 4 this week ...hell yea
Good to hear Bakhan!
BaKhan, damn! I was sure that'd work! Back to the drawing board.
@Zem, I'm too old a cat to be effed by a kitten... ;)
That is wonderful news BaKahn! Now I'll be able to meet both you and GM when I sneak into Canada to purloin all of your tasty syrup.
Sounds like some great news, BaKhan!!
Poutine for everyone!!!!!!!!!
@Trinkets: Saying that after I just finished a "Mexican" chili...that is so mean. Now I want a poutine. Are you going to deliver?
Geist, it's no laughing matter! Syrup theft is a major thing there! haven't read this account, but I'm assuming it's a good recounting: http://www.bloomberg.com/bw/articles/2013-01-02/the-great-canadian-maple-syrup-heist
Only in Canada! ;)
BaKhan, that's awesome! I'm glad to "hear" it!
Who has three thumbs and just got their Z:BP shipment notification?
That's a little far for delivery,lol.
The CEO of the company where I work handed me my bonus. It wasn't much but it will buy me a few drinks tonight
Huzzah!
Geist, if that's all your Christmas bonus is, I have two suggestions: 1) You could beat him with a rubber hose like the nice cop in Christmas Vacation suggested, or 2) you could steal millions of gallons' worth of tree sap from the poor Canadians and sell it. Preferably back to them for the irony and since they're such large consumers of it.
That second one has a nice Fight Club feel to it. I like it.
You can steal fat and make soap out of it as well, if you'd like. I hear the market for that is so good you could fund an army.
*sigh* My belly is full from gumbo and 2 mai tai. Time to head home for some well earned sleep
First rule of Maple Syrup Fight Club.....
Gumbo and Mai Tai...... interesting combo.
Any gamers here played Robinson Crusoe Adventures on the Cursed Island?
Narp.
Congrats, LZ. My buddy also got his Z:BP shipping notice today.
@Trinkets: As if chicken and waffles are a better one?
I'm not knocking it. Gumbo...good. Mai Tai(s) .......good.
And you should try C&W.
People, for some unknown reason, eat stuff like liver & onions, head cheese, hotdogs. Chicken and waffles... just makes sense after you try them.
My mom's side of the family is from Kentucky. They have fried chicken and pork chops at the breakfast table constantly.
Pork chops and waffles..........something to consider.
Everyone knows that there is nothing but evil crap in a hotdog. That is why they taste so good.
My grandmother's oldest sister use to cook chicken liver & onions from time to time. They tasted great with gravy. When she past, I never ate that dish again.
Fried chicken for breakfast? Maybe after a night of drinking but not everyday.
I'm more of a paincake fan anyways.
Peanut butter on pancakes?
For me, just butter. Maybe some syrup, but I hate how messy and sticky it gets, so usually I don't use it, at least not very much of it. But you can also have some great stuff with it. Plaincakes with bacon and stuff... if I weren't so full, I'd be hungry right now!
I have rescued an attack cat.
Great! Now you can feel safe at night, so long as you close and lock your bedroom door in addition to the outside doors. So really, he just made you feel less safe in your own home. Put him outside and don't feed him for weeks. That way nobody will ever try to steal from you.
he only attacks the humans that care for him. oye. what a little psycho. cuddles and purrs when sleepy... but feet and hands are chew toys when playful.
That's any kitty. I love it when they do that, though, because it's how kittens play. It isn't supposed to be painful, it's playful, so I always start grabbing and poking back and mess around with them. But you should definitely get Nugget a claw-thingy play set toy thing to rip to shreds. Maybe make it look like a human leg so it looks more enticing to him.
Oh yeah, have you seen this? I think you'd really like it. http://9gag.com/gag/agVrm8r
Now to bed because it's 2 and I should probably wake up before noon-ish. Haven't packed yet, have a final from 3:30-5:30, and then am leaving asap after. Otherwise I'd love to stay up. I definitely will all holiday breaktime.
Good morning all!
Should have called in sick today. Not because I'm sick, but I could use more sleep. I had 7 restful hours. That's typical for a work night for me. I feel like I slept 2 hours. Ugh. Maybe I will take later half of the day off. I do still have days of vacation saved up. Ugh. Guess I'll just walk around zombified today.
Congrats on the addition, Creeper. Yeah, attack cats can test your pain threshold. My cousin had a kitten that would leap, grab onto, and attack your head. Glad he grew or of that phase.
Good Morning Kittens!
Well I guess Imma have to have a poutine for lunch now... damn... ;)
I haven't received my game...wanted to play it on NY Eve with my pals!
@Sheri, have you checked out the lastest update? Lots of helpful folks waiting to help you out!
Morning kittens!
Morning kitty cats!
@Trinkets: You and I must be on the same page. I so wanted to call out today (it's all overcast and rainy) but seeing as I'm still in my 3 month probationary period at this company, I thought that might not be a good idea.
Well I guess Imma have to have a poutine for lunch now
Poutine always sounds like it means something else whenever I see this word.
@Geist: Poutine is awesome, anytime of the day, or year. ;)
@GM: I think most men would agree with you. ;-)
@Geist, lol! Well, to each their own.... Its a bit far for my wife and I to make the later happen during lunch... ;) So I guess today I'll just stick to the former! ;)
1500 until 100,000 comments!
Well, I have never purposely made poutine, but in my yout, I have made similar dishes. I should probably hit the grocery store tonight.
@Trinkets: Unless they are real cheese curds, it isn't real poutine.
The best poutine I ever had was made by a french chef at a little bistro by my work. Hand cut fries, home made beef gravy, fresh cheese curds, and then baked in the oven. Oh god it was good, and cheep, it was only four bucks, and way better than the stuff you get at the fast food places. He should have charged more, then he would probably still be in business...
GM. I live in Wisconsin. Real cheese curds are not a problem. :-D
So, it's homemade thick cut fries, covered in cheese curds, then, coveted in gravy?
*covered
My phone must have found the brandy.
@Trinkets, its fries, and cheese curds layered, and then covered in piping hot gravy, to melt the curds. The reason you use cheese curds is they don't melt the same way shreded cheese does, they soften, and get a little melty, but maintian their cheesy goodness. So each forkful has a different combination of cheese and fries and gravy. Maybe I need to skip out for lunch right now... poutine calling!
My phone must have found the brandy
The things our phones do when we are not looking.
@Geist, unless your phone isn't a phone at all, but a flask! Right? ;)
Ha! I had forgotten about that BaKhan. I'm going to have to seriously consider buying that. The only reason why I hesitate is because I tend to put my phone in my bra when I'm not using it so anything I had to it will have to be slim enough to fit up there or my back pocket.
I would love it if my phone was s flask instead of a lush
Woot I'm with you LZ got my shipping notification for the BP can't wait for friday....
Alright, Soc!
*Doc.
Boy, phone must have done it up good. Hopefully it left me some brandy
