Wow, the new Unleash the​ Archers album is a masterpiece. Better with every listen, they blew their previous work out of the water with this one. Frontrunner for album of the year and it's unlikely anybody is going to knock them off that podium.

I love it when I go to a concert with my daughter that I expect to be pop with a little rock, and the band rocks the **** out of the place!

Happened recently with Icon For Hire, and again Friday night with Knee High Fox.

I'm not a big metal person, but after 24 hours of work since Saturday morning decided to give it a go as a bit of a kick in the pants - actually pretty good stuff

Okay, now replace the crinkle cut fries with any kind of regular fries.

There's something about the crinkle cut that helps absorb the msg and melted cheese better than other fries

Hmm. I listened to a couple of songs by Icon For Hire since I think I've heard the name before. They've clearly made some decisions regarding their style to separate from the cookie cutter alt rock mold, but I can only say I liked the electronic music elements. Meanwhile, the vocalist had a couple things going on that I didn't really care for, although she sounded fine for the most part.

These of course are things you don't really care about at a live show and they seem like they would put on a pretty good show! Glad you had a good time!

Yeah, it's because crinkle cut fries are mush and mush absorbs better.

 

[tigervixxxen]

Do those fries even ever get crispy? Soggy fries are the worst.

 

[Boruto]

Home make triple cooked fries for the crunchiest fries. Look up hestons triple cooked fries.

 

[UncleRisto]

Yeah, it's because crinkle cut fries are mush and mush absorbs better.

And I do get what you're saying and I know there are types of food that work with crinkle cut fries. The problem I have there is, if you want potatoes to be mush, there's no need to deep-fry them.

Oh, and fries are bad for you mmmkay, never eat fries, ever.

That Heston sure can cook food.

Frying at home is the devil.

Had a look a this Icon For Hire business. It's not for me.

Unleash the Archers is good stuff.
Hope to see them live, in concert.

Yeah, like I said, they were like a totally different band in concert.

I got to see them at ProgPower, they killed. Hopefully they'll do a proper North American tour around Apex, they're Canadian so it shouldn't be too hard.

So our hamster died last night. My son took it rather hard. First time he has really had to deal with death. And the timing is rough on him, as we are moving in a few weeks, and he is having to say goodbye to all his friends and teachers...compounded sadness, and he could not stop crying for like 2 hours.

The timing is bad for the kid, but fortuitous for us, as now we do not have to give a pet that is about to die to some other kid. She was a bit over 2.5 years old, and dwarf hamsters generally live 1.5-2 years. I was afraid of giving her away and having her die just after some other kid gets attached. Plus we have already dealt with a cat and a dog that we had to give away to move here, that have died since. Not sure how the guinea pig we gave away is doing...but we did not have that thing long.

Anyhow, very little is more heartbreaking than a kid dealing with the death of a pet.

I eat potatoes by boiling them, putting some salt on top and eating them by themselves just like that.
Is that weird? I find them very delicious that way, and without all the fats that come with fries.

New potatoes are fine on their own, others not so much.

I usually do baked potatoes or wedges to avoid all that fat. Plus they're super easy to make.

Yeah, agreed 100%.

I pretty much always make wedges. Rare occasions I ( well tbh my girlfriend) make mashed potatoes, works with fish and game.

Some of my worst childhood memories are when pets died. I was the first one in our family to find our cat after she had been run over by a car when I was 10. I cried for a few hours at least. Losing a pet is always a tough affair.

In the middle of nowhere Maine for 5 days... this week will be fun.

That happened to me, too. I was younger than 10, though. 5 or 6. Our cat, Smokey, was run over in front of our house, which also served as the bus stop. One kid in particular was laughing about it, making hurtful comments. I ran up the street and started kicking the crap out of his dog. In a 6-year-old's mind, that was justice...

Reckon we'll be reading about you in a Stephen King novel soon...

Telluride Bluegrass this week! I'm ****ing excited. Heading there tomorrow until Sunday.

Also this. The War on Drugs new album is going to be amazing.

I'm thrilled that she is going to play a big role! Absolutely love Laura Dern!

Stupid work and client meetings. Hopefully I can sneak back a day early...
