it's all about the brand.

lodge is just as good and about a third the price

lol I canceled the order on the lodge because of some crummy reviews on amazon plus I really want a nice red la creuset so hey might as well wait for my tax refund!

I use a cast iron skillet and a medium-sized pot at least 3 times a week so having a nice dutch oven, it'll get use

IIRC she was married, and it was the both of them that had that bizarre habit, as in every new piece of Star Wars merch they had to have.

Yea, it was a couple. They had a pages-long thread. Baffling.

Is anyone else getting spammed emails from the VA? I went and unsubscribed to not get them to no avail. I'd mark it as junk/spam but I don't want to miss an important email

I'm hoping that I can net a decent pay raise here in the next year or two. I'd love to have enough fun money to afford a car for pure recreation. Like a used BRZ or WRX.

My coworkers are cool. I invited a bunch out for a happy hour just so I could hang out with them for a bit. I didn't buy a single drink for myself tonight.

New job starts Monday. I left after working on two Super Bowl campaigns. Pretty good kickoff to 2017.

New job has the following poo poo:

Fully stocked kitchen with candy and healthy poo poo. Like 4 kinds of trail mix dispensers.

Sounds cool. Hope it isn't one of those tech companies where you're scheduled for 8 hour days but are "encouraged" to work more if you need to ...

Not even. Work hours are "show up before 10, leave before 5"

Since it's an advertising tech company, they're extremely chill. Honestly, my last agency was much more uptight. It's a stark difference right off the bat. No catering to entry-level college kids.

I've kept my aircraft pubs and flight gear. My pubs bag is untouched from my last flight. There's still data on the performance card and a oily pair of nomex gloves stuffed into a pocket.

I've kept all of my patches too. Those are cool. Then there's the EVA map from SERE that I hung onto.

I actually use my aircrew aids at work. Mostly for eyeballing transit and loiter times and for the pages of contact info for a poo poo ton of squadrons across the country. And a bunch of my patches are on the wall over my desk.

That's cool man. My 965th AACS flying scarf hangs on a doorknob in my room. I never got a 962nd AACS one.

And my leather jacket? No idea where that went.

Dutch oven came in today. The 4.5 quart size works out pretty well for my needs.

First up is a tomato sauce. No frills: garlic, salt and pepper, red pepper flakes, butter and a half cup of olive oil.

Here's all that reducing before dumping in the crushed tomatoes, a few hunks of carrots, half an onion, and bay leaves


Welp see ya in about three hours!
