I think there are times I'm not posting for days but that's because I'm outdoors in the woods. Unrelated but my sister let me know when I picked her up at the airport from her trip to India that her New Year's resolution is to cut down on meat consumption. Whelp, so much for serving her that sous vide pork shoulder I was going to smoke…

Well 2024 is off to an… interesting start. https://i.imgur.com/dUlJFf8.mp4 I grabbed my honing steel after cutting some stuff with my chef's knife and noticed the steel itself is worn smooth. My first purchase of 2024 will be a new honing steel.

Went to mass with my sister since it's our dad's death anniversary. We were approached by some of the staff and asked to help by bringing up the offerings to the priest, which my sister said yes for us. I'm wearing a Nine Inch Nails zip-up hoodie.  The candles here are also electronic and accept dollar bills. Happy new year, goons.

https://i.imgur.com/HA44tm3.mp4 Smoked a pork shoulder after having it sous vide in pickle brine for about 20 hours.  Finished product. About to shred it and toss it in the reduced pickle brine juices from the sous vide.  They made pretty decent taco filling. Also in it was roasted cauliflower rice, cheap Mexican blend cheese, tomato, scallion, and avocado (not pictured because I forgot for this round).

Eating rear end was already mainstream by 2020 so it makes sense that it evolved into gumbo by 2024.

Turned 46 last month and no kids. A part of me wonders if I "missed the window" though I know medically I can make kids as long as I got decent swimmers down there., mainly because now if I have any I'd be in my 60's by the time they're ready to go to college. Of course, there's also the whole aspect of "finding a partner to receive my demon seed" that I'm woefully bad at. My sister kinda wanted kids and during her marriage she realized it wasn't going to be in the cards for her.

I can barely take care of my housemate's dog, so the idea of raising a kid of my own is pretty crazy. That said I can be a great dog uncle, as seen by getting Fritha some dog goggles & hearing protection for Christmas.

I built a catio for my house as one of my former house mates had a couple and it's currently unused. Every now & then I think that it would be nice to have a cat as they're a little lower-maintence than dogs.

swickles posted:Does anyone use any apps to keep track of their kitchen inventory? I'm looking for something I could access from both mine and my wife's phone (Android and iPhone). Tired of wondering if we have X spice or sauce and ending up with 3 bottles. Would like to be able to track what spices, sauces/condiments, and what all we have in our deep freeze. We just packaged a lot of meat and come spring are probably going to be splitting a cow with some neighbors, so it would be nice to have everything on my phone instead of the dry erase board next to the deep freeze. I could use something similar. My sister helped me organize my pantry and man I had a lot of duplicate things in there. Also a lot of old stuff that needed to be thrown out. The only saving grace is that I don't have a significant other to buy something I already have enough of, but still embarassing when I have 3 bags of almond flour that haven't even been opened yet. As dumb as I thought it was at first the refrigerator that has the screen to let you see inside is nice to get a quick inventory glance. No more multiple packages of tortillas or containers of mayonnaise!

Funny enough my friend lost their drone when we were in a wooded field last Saturday. It wasn't a DJI but he also has another drone that me may use to look in the upper part of the trees sometime later this month. Cue my friend sending waves upon waves of drones to look for the missing ones until we can find them by the gigantic pile next to some random doug fir.

Get Out was a hell of a debut for Jordan Peele. I liked Us but it got compared to his first film too much IMO. Nope really started tapping into his Spielberg influences and was a lot of fun to see in the theater. Now I'm thinking about the new season of True Detective that's coming out this month and how the following seasons after the 1st were not received as well because the debut was such a game-changer.

fartknocker posted:I briefly mentioned in the last chat thread around Christmas that I'd be going to Cleveland in a few weeks, but forgot to ask if anyone has any general recommendations for stuff to do or see. My brother and I are taking my dad up there to see my cousin's son play in a youth hockey tournament, and other than wanting to visit the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame, and a trip to the Pro Football Hall of Fame (Both of which I know you need to get tickets for in advance), don't have anything in particular planned yet. Not sure of the timing of everything yet, but any ideas or recommendations around or near that stuff would be helpful. Sister & I went to the mausoleum our parents are interred and afterwards had a bit of a hard time finding a place to get dinner, so we ended up hitting up 21st Century Pizza for a couple slices to take home. As soon as we arrived she proceeds to to this:  I didn't know I was related to Marion Cobretti.

I like a good road trip and while talking to my sister over dinner we got to talking about cars. I'll likely need to replace my 2002 Toyota Highlander soon and I'll likely get a Toyota hybrid. I'm not 100% set on going full electric vehicle as I often go out in the woods and long road trips can mean longer downtime recharging the battery. I wish car companies went with the hydrogen slurry system so that it could be sucked out/pumped in of cars to quickly "recharge" them instead of using the current battery system.

Longest nonstop drives I've done was was Boston, MA to Savannah, GA and Portland, OR to San Diego, CA. Longest overall drives were Boston to San Diego, Boston to Portland, OR, and The Villages, FL to Portland, OR. This helped me to reach my goal of being in every state in the US. Last one on my bucket list is Hawaii because I can't drive to it, then I've been in all 50 states.

Surrounded by skinny women so I was instantly the suspect. Just put on a dumb, ignorant smile for the rest of the flight and tried to ignore the visual daggers. Next time tell them to open a window if they're so offended. Just wait until the plane lands before doing so, or you get this: https://x.com/jammulinks/status/1743645499528204761?s=46&t=crshEc6ZJO1zh40ZDAIfPQ I took my sister to PDX this morning so she could fly home & causally mentioned this to her. She was not amused. Combined with the attempted crashing of another Alaska Airlines plane a couple months ago, I'm starting to think the sky's of Portland are cursed.

Pork stock seems weird, like saving hot dog water haha. I hate wasting stuff but what can I apply it to. Know ham cheese tater soup is a thing. But Christ that’s a stretch, my angle would be a mashed tater (Yukon/Idahos) cooked in pork stock with a cheese sauce maybe corn and some shredded ham Grab a couple more pork bones/knuckles/feet and make tonkotsu broth. It's definitely ramen season.
