  1. This is pretty cool.

      4 Noses Brewery in Broomfield is really good. I've liked everything I've tried of theirs.

       

      @deedsker Santa Fe Brewing is very underrated. I don't like coffee-flavored beer, but I really like their IPAs and their seasonals (Farmhouse Ale and Winter something were excellent).

  3. Change my view:  People who put chuckeye roasts in a crockpot are savages.

      I save the bread until the end and then use it to get every drop out of the bowl.

  4. A sad fact that I’ve been noticing lately: Most people don’t really have a passion that they pursue. They aren’t dedicated to anything. Especially younger people.

      Cut chuck roast into pieces and make beef stew. One of my favorite meals. (The best beef stew recipe I've found is the one in The Joy of Cooking.)

  6. Anyone sear chicken hindquarter in a pan or on the grill before smoking them?  I hate smoked chicken skin, it is so rubbery.

      @teachercd broth is the least fancy food you can make. The only required ingredient is water.

      Make broth from the skin, bones, and any scraps. At least then you won't be wasting it.

  10. Glad to know our society has become a bow down culture. This virus is a coronavirus, just like evey other coronavirus that came before it. It HAS to run its course and will mutate to a much less lethal form in the end. Partial herd immunity is the best thing we can do. There will NEVER be a true vaccine. Why??? B/c there has never been a coronavirus vaccine due to mutation rate, and there will never be one. It is a coronavirus, just like your regular cold virus. It will have to eventually become a herd type immunity to decrease its mortality rate. Just like the regular cold virus, a coronavirus, was initially deadly, it will eventually become less deadly. The original coronavirus wasnt made a big deal b/c scientists didnt know what was happening, and didnt know what was happening like we do now with all of our technology. But, it was just like it is now, but the political bs media wasnt pushing the propaganda. Quit being sheep ffs!! People are so open to persuasion now. Use your fuvkin brain, this is not the first time this has happened in the world. Its just the first time you sheep are letting the media decide your beliefs. Its a new coronavirus!! It sucks, nobody is safe, it will make its rounds, people will die, herd immunity will be the key, and there will never be a good vaccine (<20% effective]. We cannot let this thing control our lives. Protect the most vulnerable, but otherwise life as normal has to go on.

      Not only are there a bunch of threads where this is already being discussed, but you clearly have access to the internet where you can discover much of what you've claimed about coronaviruses is wrong. At least look into SARS and MERS to find out that there's several different types and that they can be much worse than the common cold.

       

      Or maybe just look at how more than 137,000 Americans have died from covid-19 in just 5 months and then compare that to the common cold.

  11. The lowest price you remember a McDonald's Cheeseburger being...go.

    I will start.  I think...for me the first time I remember the price, they were .69 cents.

  14. I got really lazy and took all of my knives to a dude to have him sharpen them.

  15. I'm inordinately excited about my whet stone that just arrived and sharpening my chef's knife for the first time... ever.

    I'm also thinking about ordering a better knife sometime soon, something like a Damascus steel. Anyone have one of those?

      @Enhance I found this youtube channel to be the most useful for learning to sharpen. Just look for the intro or beginner videos: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCOluHMoKJ6CrS0kcybhaThg

      I've also found that the quality of the knife isn't nearly as important as keeping them sharp. If you're going to spend money, I'd recommend first getting quality sharpening setup and then focus on knives that are comfortable in your hand. I have a cheap chef's knife from Target that is just as good at cutting as a more expensive one I bought, but I have to sharpen the cheap one a little more often.

      I got the knifeplanet.net starter set of stones a couple years ago for Christmas. Made an ENORMOUS difference in using our knives. I sharpen them about once a year or if one of them starts to feel dull. Took some practice to get the technique down though - about the fifth knife I sharpened was when it became both much sharper and took less time. Don't get frustrated by the first few attempts if they don't turn out as sharp as you wanted.

      @knapplc No, I'm focused on getting the food on the table and always forget to take pictures.

       

      I recommend saving the liquid from the bag and using that to make homemade bbq sauce. (I love Carolina-style sauces like this one: https://www.thespruceeats.com/big-daddy-carolina-style-barbecue-sauce-333684)

      I've made a brisket sous vide. Put a rub on the brisket, then cooked at 160 for 24 hours. It was amazingly tender and juicy but didn't have the flavor you get from smoking. It's really good paired with a good bbq sauce. Biggest advantage is that it takes no skill to get it right.

       

      Next time I'm going to try this recipe where you sous vide first then just smoke it enough to get the smoked flavor: https://amazingribs.com/tested-recipes/beef-and-bison-recipes/smoked-sous-vide-que-bbq-brisket-recipe

      No stew meat, but I know I have a bunch of roasts since the others wanted the ground beef. Just had some beef stew last week from a chuck roast - was delicious.

      I get protesting something you oppose, but threatening their family and incidents at their homes is terrible. Hopefully the people that did those things get exposed.
