Every Midwesterner who can work a can opener thinks they have a pretty decent chili recipe.

Sometimes it's even true!

Going to start an 80's hair metal band and call it Buttsnake.

Pretty nasty outside in Bumfuck. 3/10, do not recommend.

I want to invent a time machine just to go find the creature that crawled out of the ocean in Earth's dim depths of history, tell it "Go back, you're making a terrible mistake" and see what happens.

Referred to her vagina as a "Junk drawer."

Where my fellow Hyperzone players at? #RetroGaming #SNES

Tamales are delicious, but not sure the dough is steamed well enough.

I think the tamales (round 2.5) are done. Should be a lot more flavorful this time.

The remake of Super Mario RPG is awesome- but I would really like to see a playthrough of it where the player knows what they are doing.

Goddamn amateur hour.

Good mjorning to the lot of you; a manky bunch of sinners and raving revolutionaries though you be. How are we spending our energy on this fine Odin's Day?

Personally, I'm planning on smiting a few frost giants. As one does.

I miss playing nerd games with my nerd friends.

I have seldom in life needed a heat pad as badly as I do tonight.

Very glad I invested in one a few years back...

New tuners and strings on the ol' agnostic guitar. Still likely to have some intonation issues but what can you do?

Masa is mixed. Tomorrow is going to be the second time I have ever made tamales and let me tell you, the first batch left a lot to be desired.

Pork roast is finished. Bones and scraps are back in the crock pot with some leftover chicken legs, making a nice rich stock. Onions and peppers combined with a can of chipotles and pureed. Reserved pork and beef fat at the ready.

These tamales are going to be the SHIT.

Happiness is a clean CPAP.

You guys. Seriously.

Counting down to pizza day on Saturday. Started the dough- 7.5 pounds of it!- and finished the ingredient acquisition. Probably going to have to adjust the hydration later. Put some chicken in a mix of herbs, olive oil, minced onion, garlic paste, lemon zest, pepper and lemon juice. Oh and some very concentrated broth.

Tomorrow is going to involve a lot of prep work. Cutting veg, shredding cheese, prepping the dough, very gently baking the chicken, and whatever other tasks arise.

French toast. Half and half, vanilla, a bit of cinnamon, nutmeg, eggs and some syrup. Very nutmeg forward.
