Agreed. Bag up the thickest ribeyes imaginable. 132 degrees, 2 hours, get that cast iron skillet red hot, dredge the steaks in some melted butter and Montreal seasoning, then throw them in pan for a minute a side.

Also, if you have not read the story of John Menard, one of the most cartoonishly evil billionaires you've barely heard of, give it a read:

I'm planning to get some good ribeyes tomorrow, and pork chops. I was going to break it in tonight with some chicken but I've eaten so much in the last 48 hours I think I might just fast through to dinner tomorrow instead.

We had a small gathering tonight for Jewish Christmas in which we ordered Chinese food and drank wine and played board games.

After our takeout dinner we all cracked into the fortune cookies. The cookies themselves were the expected bullshit flour, sugar, and vanilla nonsense but the actual fortunes were unexpectedly weird.



What the gently caress does that mean? What kind of fortune is this?



Ohhh gently caress you fortune. gently caress you. Crypto will invade literally anything and everything you care about even a little bit.

I am not shocked that ads inside fortune cookies are now a thing, but it still makes me incredibly sad.

Also, while that fortune is supposed to be about crypto, I can't help but read it as because "you'll be dead one day," or "the apocalypse happens and paper currency will be worthless."

unfortunately there are a shitload of people, from retail workers to those in disadvantaged communities, for whom handling paper money is not a choice and won't be for quite some time

I love them, of course I love eggs as well and it just adds extra flavor to them. They are a quick way to just eat a bunch of them that is delicious. Mom will usually make me some for Thanksgiving or Christmas but since I'm the only one who eats them it's more of a special treat.

Definitely will. We need to go get a rolling cart for me to set the oven on so I don't have to pick it up and move it around every time I want to use it. I don't want to leave it just sitting on the carport because I fear thievery.

I have my suspicions about all those protest organizers in Ferguson that keep turning up dead. I figure if it's the Ferguson uniformed cops they'd just be a lot more brazen about it.

Edit: Dashiell Hammett (Author of Maltese Falcon, Thin man, Some others) was a Pinkerton, quit when he was asked to murder the head of a miner's union in his bed. About a week later "mysterious masked men" burst into the miner's bedroom in the middle of the night and unloaded their shot guns into his sleeping body and that of his wife.
