OT: Sens Lounge LXXVII | A Fridge Too Far Edition

A lot of people hate on it, but be sure to try a cask ale (especially a guest ale, there's usually more turnover). Just make sure that it's clear, not cloudy in your glass. Cloudy means they aren't cleaning their lines correctly.

Also, Witherspoons is basically the McDonald's of pubs. No soul, but you'll get similar quality no matter where you are in the country. And they usually have the widest selection of beers on tap.

Yeah, I am going to need to find some good beers to drink. Not a big fan of Guiness, but typically like mid coloured beers best. Trad is my favourite domestic beer.

Don't forget the celery for your mirepoix though!

Just went and I did not forget. Thanks for the heads up.

well you convinced me to roast a porn loin tonight. Thanks!

Well that's a bonus since I'm always looking to do anything I can for the good folks in the porn industry.

I did both roast beef and pork tenderloin last week, so immune to the suggestion.

Trying to decide what to do with ground beef this week (default is going to be brown, mix with stir fry veggies and rice).

I always struggle to find new ways to cook ground beef. Its usually on sale so i stock up on it. Shepherds pie is usually a go to, tacos or a knock off salisbury steak.

I found a decent way to do meatloaf, use a box of stove top stuffing instead of bread as a filler. Top it with a good bbq sauce. Nothing fancy but different enough from the normal way i make meatloaf to be somewaht fresh. Maybe im just late to the party, but it was new to me heh

Guinness on tap over there is so much better than here, it's not even close.

Also keep in mind that it's intentional that the foam is bitter, and then the drink itself is sweet. So if you're only basing your opinion off the top of the glass, let it settle properly and take a bigger drink so you get a mix.

Also, there's plenty of cider options over there as well. The stuff we get imported (ie Strongbow) is generally considered swill by the cider snobs.

Meatloaf or my grand-mammy's homemade spaghetti sauce is primarily what I use ground beef for. And chili. Can't forget chili.

My ways to change up ground beef usually just involve spice combinations.

Sometimes the classic: Olive Oil, Parsley, Basil, Oregano.
Sometimes the caribbean: Coconut Oil, Cumin, Oregano, Turmeric, Cinnamon, Lime Juice
Sometimes beefy: Olive Oil, Thyme, Red Wine Vinegar
Always black pepper, onion, and garlic

and so on.

Mmmmmmmm meatballs.

Subs are awesome too. Spaghetti. Meatloaf. Burgers. There's lots to do.

 

[Benjamin]

I found my new favourite food.(outside of oatmeal and cereal, obviously)

1 serving of tangy beans
1 can of tuna
sliced up kale

All mixed up on a double fiber super whole wheat bread.

Robin Williams suicide

 

[Super Cake]

Robin Williams died? WTF?

This has to be a hoax, it just has to be.

 

[Senscore]

What a ****ed up day

 

[Do Make Say Think]

Robin Williams suicide

Link?

 

[Super Cake]

Link?

Here is one from Yahoo:

http://news.yahoo.com/actor-robin-williams-found-dead-apparent-suicide-sheriff-230233692.html

 

[Do Make Say Think]

Wow

That blows

 

[Caeldan]

Yeah if this is a hoax, it's caught all the major sites (though wouldn't be the first time).
Also: http://www.marinsheriff.org/uploads/854.pdf

So there's an actual press release from the named Sheriff's office on their site (though it's loading incredibly slow as expected).

 

[PoutineSp00nZ]

wow that really sucks, he was a really funny man. I guess all the drug use over the years was indeed self medication . . . what a ****** day.

George Carlin dead, Bill Hicks Dead, Robin Williams dead . . . Dane Cook alive and kicking.

 

[saskriders]

Mrs. Doubtfire was great

 

[StefanW]

That is so sad. He was a brilliant entertainer.

 

[Quo]

Wasn't long ago that I listened to him on WTF with Marc Maron. Great interview which cut past the caricature and showed the guy underneath. Sad.

 

[Do Make Say Think]

It's been thirty minutes and I think I'm still in "shock"

Man that's super depressing news

I still think it is a hoax. I just can't believe he is dead.

 

[BonkTastic]

Jeez, Robin...

 

[StefanW]

I still think it is a hoax. I just can't believe he is dead.

I hope you are right, but in this case I don't think it is a hoax.
