What's takoyaki?

There are quite the variety of takoyaki dishes to consider as well. Looks like there are all manner of different preparations. Might be tasty.

I really need to clean out the junk in my office.


I need to clean the junk out of my vehicle.


Fall cleaning ... it's a lost art. ;)


Yeah, true.

proof of God's love for mankind.

And his dislike of octopi.


Someone start a discussion, flame war, something....I'm bored! It's too quiet!


Uh

... there's a fierce discussion on the merits of flat-rate vs per-charge-rate battery recharging in the Starfinder section ...

... something 'merits of Deadly Aim' something something ...

oh, and whether or not it's reasonable for starships to pew-pew people. I'm not letting those LAW-rocket totin' sumbyatches not get shot back at!! *shakes fist*


Well, knowing nothing and caring nothing for Starfinder I can't really contribute much to this topic. Though I agree the sumbyatches should be shot at!


Is anyone else having trouble with the message boards? Every time I click on the link it takes me to the store where the the adventure path about Azlant is being advertised.


Not at the moment.

I presume that the usual rotation of inane babble, flame wars and whatnot are bobbing about like tucustal sculptures in a porcelain lake of blue water. Not a heck of lot particularly interesting on the PF section for a bit I'd guess.


True. Some days are just slower than others. But my depression is pretty rough today and I just can't muster the energy to do the chores around the house that need to be attended to. Hence, my being here on the boards all day.

Do you like to cook?


I'm a horrible cook. If it doesn't come from a box or can I'm basically screwed. I have some decent crockpot recipes that I use occasionally, and can bake chicken breasts and make those pretty tasty. But there are times I crave my late mom's salmon patties and the way she fried potatoes (I think she used either Crisco or even lard to do so), but she made the rocking-est fried chicken ever. I see folks posting recipes on here and I'm pretty envious of other peoples' culinary skills. One of the local colleges sometimes offers free adult education classes and cooking is often one of them. The next time they do that I may sign up.


What's everyone's favorite dinosaur(s)? I'm particularly fond of ankylosaurids.


Get a Better Homes and Garden cookbook at a thrift store and follow the recipes.


I have all my mom's cookbooks, but I forgot about them until you mentioned that! Thanks!

I'm at work, now. Busy brewing tea.

Stegosaurus, Brachiosaurus, and Deinonychus, in that order.

I love stegosaurs, too. I also read recently paleontologists discovered the first remains of a European brachiosaur.


You can do crockpot stuff? AWESOME!!

Here's the challenge for you today/tonight: gather up the ingredients you have available to make the most complex crockpot recipe you have access to. Scrounge from cabinets, whatever you have. Preferably one involving lots of ingredient prep: chopping veggies, peeling and cutting taters, browing some beef, et al.

Once you have the crockpot loaded up, then come up with a few side dishes you know how to do and like. Look up slightly more advanced versions of them, and use your on-hand supplies to make those.

After a raucous evening of making crockpot om-noms and sides, you have a nice handful of ready-to-eat meals you can nuke-n-go!


That's a wonderful idea. I'll probably do it tomorrow. I need to go to the store to pick up some more veggies for the idea, though.

Other MUST: your favorite ass-kicking music, on looped playlists. Always!


Oh, for sure. I always do chores to music. I have several YouTube playlists and I choose one and let it do its thing.

I'm just not going to be able to swing NY ComicCon. I just can't find the cash. This move has drained me, I'm against the wall financially

Give me a few months and I'll figure out a time.

EDIT: I have two tickets for sale if anyone wants/needs them
I'd be interested in those if you still have them.

They are for Sunday (the only day left open when I bought them)

I'll just want the original value if you are interested
Yup, definitely interested. How much and how would you like to work the exchange?

Well, let me contact the show. They might go for an address change, and I could put in your address. I have to find the info. I'll get back to you ASAP

it's cool.

Your next takoyaki and Green God are on me.

He doesn't eat takoyaki, remember?

Nope. That's my spirit animal. In fact, if Paizo had a good Octopus icon I would retire the monkey.


I have to wait until my EBT card allotment drops, which is always on a Wednesday. Then I can go nuts!

Crock-pot Chili: 3lbs. Ground beef, 2 cans Red Kidney Beans, 2 Jars Tomato sauce, 3 yellow onions. 3 Tablespoons minced Garlic, 2 packets Chili Seasoning.

Brown the ground beef in a skillet. To the Crock-pot put in the Kidney Beans (drained) the Tomato Sauce, The onions (peeled and sliced), the Garlic, and the seasoning packets. Set pot for 6 hours.

When the beef is done (no red anywhere) add to the Crock-pot and stir it in. Continue cooking.

Side dishes: Rice, Bread, Tortilla chips

Optional: serve Chili with grated Cheddar on top.


That sounds pretty durned good! I'll definitely give that one a shot.


Ah the commute. Longer than before , but I don't have to drive. I figure it's about even. Listening to the Dark Crystal soundtrack. It stands up well


Aren't they making a prequel to that sometime soon?

Takes longer, less stressful, wsaaaaaay less likely to become road pizza. Yeah, it's a good trade-off.

Go in the morning first-thing. :)

Oh, does sam's club take EBT out there? You might be able to snag a bunch of charcoal for fall-n-winter grilling DMCal.

Or, y'know, do the hint-hint thing for winter/XMas gifts. ;)

Also an XMas gift or the like. :)

The reason I keep yappin' about this is my preferred 'self therapy' is digging all of the stuff out of the freezer that at least vaguely resembles meat and grilling all day. Pile up the coal, grab both chimneys, prep and season all the stuffs - oh, corn on the cob is the BEST grilled-in-husk, then slathered with butter and swiftly nomm'd thereafter - and rotate the ginorma stockpiling of da foods for 2-4 weeks. Sometimes this takes a day. Sometimes it takes two days. In the end, the weight is lifted as the vitamin-D deficiency has been cleared up and much chow is available. Pair sides to taste meal-by-meal or day-to-day.

Da nums.

Edit: any parks nearby with hibachis/grilling surfaces? :D


I do love grilled corn on the cob!

Now that I think about it, yeah.


You can also have cooked macaroni as another side dish.

Wonderful!

Do you have any local friends off work tomorrow/the next sunny day in the forecast? Round 'em up, ask 'em to pitch on food, coal and any implements of grilling. Wally World has decent-enough stuff for cheap. Their produce is usually pretty good and reasonably priced. Round up a big cooler or several smaller ones, insert tub o' butter or butter-equivalent, go to one of those automated ice-bag selling machines, load up the coolers to the gills, stuff in tasty beverages and any perishable condiments and take a big ol' chill day.

If you have a game group, make game day GRILLIN' DAY. Eat and be merry!
