    The "what are you listening to now" thread

    I vaguely remember this song. I was like 12 when it came out. I loved Mike + The Mechanics. I didn't know this was their song. I just stumbled across this last month. Great song, great video of a simpler time. I love the kids messing with the instruments. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8toBVYDKukU

    I will never buy store made macaroni salad again

    I imagine most of this slop they call macaroni/potato salad sold at supermarkets is all made at 2 or 3 places in huge one-story vats. Loaded up on the HFCS and vinegar to preserve that nasty crap, then poured into containers where it's sold wholesale to delis and supermarket delis to be scooped...

    I will never buy store made macaroni salad again

    We forgot to get macaroni salad last week from the store, and GF loves it with her BBQ dogs/burgers. So I decided to make some which I never made before. I never looked up any recipes, but I knew it has hard-boiled egg, mayo, celery, onions, pepper, salt, paprika, etc.. I've been eating the...

    Off Topic? Computers

    I wouldn't fart around with old copies of Windows. I'd just install Linux Mint. It's light weight compared to Windows, plus it's safe and secure.

    Ever feel this way after cooking a great meal?

    I bet he was. :) I was kinda shocked the first time I saw my wife slather ketchup on her steak, but I still loved her (RIP honey). I definitely don't agree with her idea of how to eat steak though. lol I grew up in Texas and California, so I have had some great steak.

    Ever feel this way after cooking a great meal?

    It's a great movie -- Big Night. It came out in 1997 I think. It's actually free to watch on Tubi.com (website or app). My wife and I just watched it the other night. I saw it at the theatre when it first came out. It stars the great Tony Shalhoub, Minnie Driver, and Stanley Tucci. It will...

    Ever feel this way after cooking a great meal?

    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NLWy9Wp_RWY Like when I buy free-range beef from a local meat monger, then my wife wants it well-done with a side of ketchup. :)

    Wednesday, May 27, 2020, what's on your table?

    I made a simple Swedish style beef macaroni casserole last night. I cooked a pound of hamburger with 2 chopped medium onions and some fresh garlic. Then I drained it and added it to a large pyrex casserole dish along with some cooked egg noodles. Then I added like a 1/4 cup pasta sauce and...

    You're very welcome. Shrek not only had great taste in women but also in music.

    If you had a restaurant/cafe, what would be on your menu?

    Yummy. A bakery would be a great base, and perhaps add a couple of cauldrons of soup. All you can eat soup and bread. Also, perhaps a salad bar (even one on smaller side) might be a nice addition with some deli cold cuts (premium salami, turkey, chicken, capicola), etc.. Then the customer can...

    If you had a restaurant/cafe, what would be on your menu?

    Mmmm, great idea. Yeah falafels, Greek salad, maybe a Chinese stir fry, etc. would make a great addition to a menu.

    If you had a restaurant/cafe, what would be on your menu?

    Wow that sucks. But good thing you didn't lose a lot of $$$$$. Mmmmm, yeah a steak house would be cool. The classic steak house with a simple name like "Joe's Steakhouse" or something with the sign saying "steaks, chops, cocktails" in sorta an art deco font. You walk in and there's lots of...

    If you had a restaurant/cafe, what would be on your menu?

    We prefer local family-owned restaurants, and there are 3 that we love around here. One of them has been in the same family since the 1940s. Anyway, the better places tend to have a more concise menu instead of 20 pages of items that end up running up food costs and lowering quality and speed...

    Taco Tuesday AND Cinco de Mayo?? (Dinner)

    I made tacos tonight. I got some fresh ground beef from butcher, and I didn't have any Mexican seasoning. I made my own with some chili powder, salt, pepper, seasoned salt (has MSG), and I tossed some white onions in with the meat. I drained the fat, added water, and let it cook down a while...

    Lousy pre-made food

    Yep, apparently all he ate at his dad's house was Hamburger Helper and frozen pizza and TV dinners. His dad's new wife would make 2 boxes of Hamburger Helper and they'd have it one night and then as leftovers 2 other nights. Then in between the HH, they'd have TV dinners and frozen pizza...

    Lousy pre-made food

    Yep, they're both here. His dad booted him out of his house, and when my wife told her ex "he's going to be homeless" her ex told her to "drop him off at the homeless shelter". So I gave the lad a free place to live for a few months and great homemade food, but then I get the privilege of...

    Slim Jim Fire Fries Buffalo Fury Style review...

    Thanks for the review. I will have to try them. I love Andy Capps hot fries. Ever have those? If so, how do they compare to the Slim Jim ones?

    Lousy pre-made food

    Stepson is sheltering in place with us. He's 22. Anyway my wife took him to the grocery store, and he picked out a bunch of pre-made food. He bought like 20 of these name brand breakfast bowl things with scrambled eggs, cheese, potatos and steak (a few small pieces) in them. Wife made me...

    Throw it together and Hope It Works Soup

    That sounds awesome. I am going to try that recipe. I never used sausage in a soup before. I love soup.

    People who think they can cook but can't

    No, this is a different person. The person you're referring to sadly passed away last year. This is a different hard luck case. Fortunately, most of our friends/relatives are not hard luck cases. This one and the one who died are really the only 2 hard luck (bad life decisions to be more...

    People who think they can cook but can't

    Yep. I stopped her cooking altogether. But today, we slept in kinda late, and at noon I walked into the kitchen. She had dumped the entire thing of beautiful vegetable beef soup I had made the day before back into the crockpot. It had been in a Tupperware container in the fridge. We had...

    People who think they can cook but can't

    She struck again yesterday. I walked by her in the kitchen around 3PM and she had tossed a pack of stew meat into the crockpot (pieces were too large, unseared). Then she wasted 3 beautiful white onions and like 4 cans of mixed veggies and a lot of other stuff. I said "that won't be ready...
