  1. All I had to do was put a box full of "Friskies" on the floor. The cat would open one pouch a day while I was gone. The next door neighbor who'd check on on her every couple days was a bit awestruck. She thought it was a treat as normally I let her free feed on dry food and gave her Friskies once a week or two. I toilet trained her as a kitten. She preferred the litter box, but if it was too stinky we'd fight for dominion of the toilet in the wee hours of the morning. She was obstinate about not flushing the toilet.
  2. Attack the topic not the other members or take a vacation.
  3. I'll take his rejects...
  4. Better than Bill having a purple cock and Jill having Nice Big Nails.
  5. @former lurker , @tradehunter take it somewhere else or take a enforced break. Your choice.
  6. Undetectable = Untransmittable. Some people just didn't get the memo. When can we stop the bullying?
  7. Garlic/Herb pork chops work well too. Used the same technique that I used for the chicken thighs.
  8. Straight from the freezer to the Sous Vite works well. The Garlic/Herb spice adds enough color to the thighs that searing them becomes optional. The Monterey Chicken spice less so.
  9. 2 year old thread closed. They're still down as far as I know.
  10. Lotus of Siam 953 E Sahara Ave, Ste A5, Las Vegas, NV 89104-3005 is considered by many the best Thai restaurant in the world. Reservations recommended. (Also has two bathhouses, Spotlight, and Badlands within walking distance)
  11. and Sous Vite cooking. and Talking to the Judge.
  12. https://rent.men/GeorgeDawson because he's too shy to put the information in his signature. Short (Check), Muscular (Check), Latino (Naw) Hey 2 out of 3 works for me. He gets bonus points for being a Ginger. If you lived a minute from me, you'd need to hire a security guard. http://towleroad.typepad.com/.a/6a00d8341c730253ef01a3fce08be3970b-pi
  13. You just wait until we're in the Grocery Store and I start feeling the Melons!
  14. I don't know of anyplace where "Escorting" is illegal. They tend to call it something else. Being precise is important.
  15. Look there's a whirlpool in his glass!
  16. You want to exercise history?
  17. So that you can answer the question: "A farmer buys 100 animals for $100.00. The animals include at least one cow, one pig, and one chicken, but no other kind. If a cow costs $10.00, a pig costs $3.00, and a chicken costs $0.50, how many of each did he buy?" (5 cows; 1 pig; and 94 chickens)
  18. Feed The Kid!
  19. Living in Las Vegas in the summer can be a pain for cooking because of the heat. Sous Vite seems to generate a lot less heat. My favorite so far is Chicken Thighs, Two or Three in a Ziploc bag is just right for a meal. This weeks experiment: I was able to get a family pack of Chicken Thights for 88 cents/pound. I spiced them up with Salt, Pepper, Garlic & Herb for three, Monterey Chicken Spice for two. Packed them two thighs per ziploc bag, pressed out as much air as I could and straight into the freezer except for one (Garlic & Herb) that I'll cook tomorrow. 165 degrees for 1-4 hours (I've been doing 90 minutes) Should work as spices tend to be freezable. What should be interesting to test is can I go straight from the freezer to the Sous Vite. It takes the water bath about 15-2o minutes to come up to temperature. The 12qt container should arrive tomorrow. I'll be trying the Sous Vite Balls and a Jacket insulating the container. I'll try another batch of Hard Boiled eggs sometime next week. I hoping that new container will be large enough for an even dozen. First batch was hard to peel so I'm going to try the cooking tricks I normally use: 2 week old eggs, Bring them to room temperature, and adding vinegar to the water bath.
  20. I've now done Lamp chop, Dteaks (ribeye, T-Bone), Hard boiled eggs (8 in the 6qt pot), Squid, Chicken Thighs (Skinless, boneless)... All have turned out well... All were easy to prepare... The 12qt Rubber Maid container, Sous Vite Balls, and a Jacket for the container are on order.
  21. I periodically forget where I keep my checkbook.
  22. I remember the world as it was; and I live the world as it is now. The ending was very moving for me. Grandpa made it possible for Grandson to find love.
  23. Seared the pork chop in a pan and served with with a side salad. Turned out to be restaurant quality. Practically no cleanup and I was able to take a nap while it was cooking. I have a "99 Ranch" here in Las Vegas, a asian market with an incredible seafood section and butcher. I see octopus and duck breast in my future. What I love is being to cook a single portion without a lot fuss and muss and still have a taste that I can be proud of.
