Pat's blog where he recounts tale of his restaurant opening and the never-ending battle with various contractors is just such a pure distillation of Pat.

His grudge about Supercross was weird and instantly something I agreed with growing up in upstate NY. Spotify's Discover playlist gave me a song that was the same as a dearly departed mexican restaurant near me, and also had a music video that was definitely hecho in mexico. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eyCEexG9xjw

A lot of Achewood is timeless but nothing so firmly plants it in the early 2000s like having two songs about it written by Freezepop and MC Frontalot

Achewood is also a very very difficult comic strip to introduce someone to. For many other web comics there are a couple of strips which you can just send to about anyone and they'll get it. With Achewood I haven't found many such candidates yet because most of the real good ones rely on you knowing the characters and the world. "You can do whatever you want in life" is one of my go-tos but even that doesn't REALLY represent Achewood.

Ray jumping the motorcycle over the mountain was the strip that started me off on Achewood. After that I think I got linked to the Great Outdoor Fight arc which is also pretty self contained and after that I was hooked.

I get more mileage out of "The end. No moral." than one might think. http://achewood.com/index.php?date=04032006

MikeCrotch posted:I started from The Party and moved on from there, I dunno you either like Achewood or you don't it feels like? A useful statement I know. Yeah definitely. But I mean, the original Achewood strips are so unlike what the strip turned into that they're not very representative at all (well I mean, they kinda are because it's still Onstad's voice, but the characters are so different) that I seriously don't know where to start people off. And one of my favourite gags in Achewood was the idea that Todd messed up his taxes so bad that he almost got lethal injection. It's one of those ideas that is just so loving ludicrous that it cracks me up every time I think of it, which is often.

I started with the Nightlife Mingus "I'll give you a sign. The sign will be that life is awesome" strip. Which is fitting because at the time I was in college, smoking a lot of weed, and listening to a lot of Mingus.

Whenever I hear/read the words “water feature”, I cannot help but think “those are so hard to contain properly” From that strip where Ray was trying to get Beed to come down from the moon by lying about having set up a model train setup.

Sweaty IT Nerd posted:You rule. Because I don't want to faff about with multiple coatings or buttermilk when I want fried chicken, the nice pete method is the only type I make with any regularity. I'm sure it's not the world's greatest but it does offer good return on investment. I have it printed out and stuffed into a little duotang alongside recipes from my mom. On one of the printouts I also wrote down a recipe for Red Lobster style biscuits, in case I feel like just absolutely making GBS threads all over my arteries that evening.

I should try this out sometime. I tend to go pretty overboard when I fry chicken but it turns out really good. I do an overnight buttermilk / pickle juice brine, and then the day of I'll sous vide the meat and pop it in the fridge. From there, I do a double-dredge of buttermilk and flour, and since the chicken is already cooked I can get the coating to the perfect texture without having to worry about overcooking the meat. Take 'em out of the fryer, apply salt, and enjoy. (I once did a triple-dredge, which was stupidly indulgent and oh-so-delicious) I realize that Nice Pete would probably murder me out of principle for this.

From the comments section quote:Take no truck with this man's claims. Peter H. Cropes' only lawful claim is to a meager birthright on the narrow, leaf-cluttered trail of an aimless lineage. The trail is cut through the heavy, wild woods in which his forebears have bred, openly, heedlessly, in moonlight, as the animal urge took them, frantic and fearful as the small mammals of the forest, their tiny hearts fluttering out the beats of a short and meaningless existence. To mix Lawry's (which, I admit, will work in a pinch) with Old Bay is to take after the fashion of the city dwellers, when they mix baking soda into their cocaine. To add weight but not substance, in the name of profit, in the face of a quality drug experience. To the best of us, fried chicken is as a drug. We will do what we must to protect it.

Ray on Roast Beef's writing:quote:Me and the fellows would even talk sometimes, when he wasn't around, about his funny lines or the certain way he had used an uncommon but normal word, like "scrounge." He would use a word like this against a backdrop of incredibly simple language, kind of like the word was a lovely red hat or screaming blue policeman in the center of a pure white gymnasium. You could tell the dude liked to type and trot out words like they were unexpected steaks in a communist building. Anyhow.

He's definitely right about seasoning the meat and not the flour. Throwing salt and pepper on your chicken the night before is a good idea. A lot of people believe in pickle brine. It works because it's brine. You can put vinegar and garlic in your brine if you want.
