We're hosting again this year, expecting about a dozen guests so I'm about to start prepping my simple beef and noodles that is usually a crowd pleaser.

What's your beef and noodles recipe?

My wife and I watched some old X-Files episodes, drank a bottle of wine, and ate like a pound of cheese last night. Today we should probably take down the christmas tree and do some laundry/house cleaning.

Pretty basic. Get some decent beef, about a pound, cube it into 1 inch pieces, brown in a sauce pan. Dump that on a plate and throw some onions and butter into the pan and cook that poo poo up till they're limp as hell. Toss the beef back in, salt and pepper however much you like, pour a cup of beef stock in, stir it all up really well, throw in some bay leaves and crank the heat up til it boils. Let it boil for a bit, turn it down and stir the poo poo out of it again. Cover it and leave it for like an hour. Spear a piece of meat and it should be tender as poo poo now. Depending on how I feel I toss some peas or chopped celery in there after that hour. Then depending on how thick you want it you mix in one or two tablespoons of cornstarch. Turn the heat up a bit, let it cook up for another 20 minutes til the cornstarch makes the gravy thick. It should be ready to eat. I serve it over store brand egg noodles but it's great on rice as well.

Very basic but it always tastes good unless you buy lovely beef. I used a london broil from Kroger for this batch. Last year we had more guests and I was pressed for time so I bought a top round roast from Meijer and cubed it up.

Okay cool, so it's similar to beef stroganoff. I'll try it out. Thanks.

That won't pop the heads either.

The only time all the heads will flow is with a deluge system, which you might find in a commercial building with lots of combustable materials.

Almost no residential systems have enough pressure or flow capacity to maintain more than a few open heads.

It would completely defeat the purpose of a fire sprinkler system to apply water everywhere when you need it to be contained to where the fire is active.

The fire suppression systems in commercial kitchens are often deluge systems, which, I imagine, is where people get the idea that all sprinkler systems work the same way.

I gotta visit the endodontist tomorrow to get a root canal fixed. It got infected somehow over Christmas and I was beside myself in pain on NYE. The dentist put me on amoxicillin as a temporary measure, but I worry that a permanent fix is going to require some digging.

Y'all should set up something like TravisCI or some other automagical CI service and make it build a branch and run some tests as a prerequisite to merging it into master.

poo poo, I thought I was scheduled for a 10:15 root canal, but they had me down for a 2:15. The worst part about going to the endodontist is going twice.

e. Well, that and the $6 I pumped into the parking meter that I won't be getting back.

Root canal part 1 is done. My face is all numb. The last time I was in this situation, my boss said I was "talking stroke-y".

You are thinking of Lancia.

I think the Stratos looks better on fire as a matter of principle, but that's not a popular opinion.

My wife is doing her residency at her first choice: NYU.

Serious question, how hard is it to get a new passport? I see this line used a lot.

In my experience, it took 15 minutes at the post office and about $200 to get one expedited.

I just got a new coffee maker and learned a lesson: despite the flashing "EMPTY COFFEE FILTER" message, it's probably best to give it half an hour to cool down first.

I like Firehouse subs. Their beef brisket and cheddar is awesome. Minus the mayo of course because gross :barf:

There's a Jimmy John's near the nonprofit I help run, and I find myself going there a bunch. It's not fantastic, but I can go there, get food, and return in under five minutes. Their unwiches are great if I don't feel like eating a bunch of bread.

Mayo, however, is a perfectly valid condiment when used sparingly.
