Just picked me up some ground buffalo and venison from the meat market the other day. Cant wait to try the buffalo!

I wouldn't mind some snow, my snowmobile is in the garage. As soon as I am not sick I'd like to ride it.

What's the cheepest I could go to get a sled that would be fun to ride?

Where do you ride?

A 2001 Polaris Edge Chassis would be my rec'd. Probably a bit under $2k. Anything older and your back will hate you.

TY will look into! I didn't think there would be anything out there worth it for under 5k.

Sweet

The PbNi battery is what is holding hybrid cars back at the moment.

The manufacturing of the batteries is what makes the hybrid car pretty much the same as a regular car.

So there is no real benefit any driving a hybrid at the moment, because you still are hurting the environment by consuming precious metals, and the lengthy process that it takes to produce them.

exactly my point.

This basic principals that a 9th grader should have down, are missed by the general public.

I figure it another way. Not like Christmas is a religious holiday anyways so you might as well take Hay-seus out of it.

To me it's just an excuse for people to buy gifts.

For REAL. Thanks Charles Dickhead

Until Aidan came along that wasn't something we did either. Just makes no sense to me. Spend a bunch of money on someone for something they might want. Fuck that, if Kari or I want something we'll talk about it and buy it.

*this year I am getting her a "gift" though. It's been more than 2 years in the house and we still don't own a microwave. As a Xmas gift it's a joke though as with the little man we actually "need" one

**pretty sure I still won't use it except for defrosting meat occasionally....which is exactly why I am picking one out. Inverter defrost ftw. (or so I hope)

Me and the W buy gifts all the time, but it's not ritualistic. We celibrate her family's christian christmass, and we do birthdays, but mostly just fun suprises. If it costs more than a nice dinner though we talk about it.

I've never been a great gift giver because I never really want something myself.

But no microwave? Do you never have leftovers? How do you reheat all those big slabs of meat you grill and smoke, in the oven?

I... I can't even begin to think about ribs, even left over ribs... in the microwave...

:shudders:

I did a few racks tonight in fact =)

There is one use for it. It is a necessary garnish for Beer Cheese Soup. Yummy.

I hate popcorn. If it's made though I always end up eating some and it makes my stomach turn.

Last time my stomach was upset I forced down a bag in hopes it would induce vomiting. It didn't and I just felt crappier....

.....and I'm out!

Good night one and all!

Epoxy resin, or don't bother.

But but but I like the resin buzz and smell

Ugly hit lithium

.....and I'm out!

Good night.

Epoxy resin, or don't bother.

Really? For what reason?

Simply for the pure fact that it's odorless and has lower VOCs. It is slightly harder to work with though.

Okay that makes sense. I'll keep that in mind. Thanks!

Do you have any particular recipe for said soup?

Never actually made it since it is awesome straight from the local coop. You have me thinking though as it also isn't cheap and soup freezes & reheats better than anything.

Hmm, I found some recipes online but figured I'd ask you first. Since the name has beer and cheese in it, I'm intrigued.

I rather like how A Christmas Carol depicts Christmas as a family centric get-together

Here is a recipe I found for the beer cheese soup. Does this look halfway right Sean?

Ingredients

* 1 1/2 cups diced carrots

* 1 1/2 cups diced onion

* 1 1/2 cups diced celery

* 2 cloves garlic, minced

* 1 teaspoon hot pepper sauce

* 1/8 teaspoon cayenne pepper

* 1/2 teaspoon salt

* 1/4 teaspoon black pepper

* 3 cups chicken broth

* 2 cups beer

* 1/3 cup butter

* 1/3 cup flour

* 4 cups milk or half and half

* 6 cups shredded sharp Cheddar cheese

* 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard

* 2 teaspoons Worcestershire sauce

* 1 teaspoon dry mustard

* popped popcorn, for garnish

Directions

1. In a large saucepan over medium heat, stir together carrots, onion, celery, and garlic. Stir in hot pepper sauce, cayenne pepper, salt, and pepper. Pour in chicken broth and beer; simmer until vegetables are tender, about 12 minutes. Remove from heat.

2. Meanwhile, heat butter in a large soup pot over medium-high heat. Stir in flour with a wire whisk; cook, stirring until the flour is light brown, about 3 or 4 minutes. Gradually stir in milk, whisking to prevent scorching, until thickened. Remove from heat, and gradually stir in cheese. Keep warm.

3. Stir beer mixture into cheese mixture. Stir in Dijon mustard, Worcestershire sauce, and dry mustard. Adjust for hot pepper sauce. Bring to a simmer, and cook 10 minutes. Serve topped with popcorn.

Just picked me up some ground buffalo and venison from the meat market the other day. Cant wait to try the buffalo!

Don't cook it much as it will dry out. Best served med rare to rare

I've never been that big of a fan of buffalo. But definitely don't cook it to much, dried out buffalo is nasty.

It's super good too.
