OT: The Menu 20 Captain Dave Poulin/ Cody Webster Steak edition

It’s not sketchy, it’s beautiful, you uncultured non-indoctrinated heathen.

I know wheat beers have sediment that is suspended and I swear I’ve had this one before. I don’t remember there being that much of it, to the point where it looks like it was clumping together.

That little bastard alone is easily a quarter inch big itself.

How dare @Starat327 ignore me and pretend to have a life.
The nerve of some people.

1) go upstairs but for the love of gif knock loudly
2) no adventure had ever started with that mindset.


Why in the hell is non supermarket honey so damn expensive?
One school that I went to for a bit, had a spring fair if I recall right. We sold jars of absurdly expensive honey, but we also sold essentially pixie stick sized sticks of different flavored honey that was 4/$1. The mint honey was delicious.


Edit. Love of god, love of gif. Whatever.

Probably the same reason beer is. People will pay it.

@Starat327 i need help asap
The beer distributor near me had some bottles of goose island bourbon country left. I picked up a 2019 brand wheat wine ale.
I swear I had it before but this time there is a ton of floaters in it.

Did it go bad? Do I need to stir it or sift it or some shit. I swear last time it was the same color but nothing suspended in it.

@Striiker where’s @Starat327 at? Go interrupt his onlyhands stream. I need his assistance before I drink too much of something that could be bad.

That's a literal shit ton of yeast sediment, and it looks appetizing as a raw tomato, but it's perfectly safe to drink.

You want to do the opposite of stir it; let it settle and then drink it. Toss the last 5% unless you want to chew on your beer.

Thank you kind sir. How dare you take ~10 minutes to respond.
Does a beer like this gain or lose or not at all it’s alcohol %?

Once it's bottled you aren't really gaining or losing ABV. Beers aren't bottled until they're fully fermented (in most cases), so a change in ABV to a discernable degree isn't something I'd expect.

The aging process is less about adding ABV, and more about melding/changing the flavor profile.

Will this beer help or hurt my ability to do push-ups?

 

[Starat327]

Definitely helps. But only if you drink the whole thing in one gulp.

 

[prototypical4thliner]

You in 15 minutes

You under-seasoned your tomatoes so you can’t be trusted anymore.

I under seasoned my tomatoes, you fail to comprehend what a sandwich is and the majority of your caloric intake can be formed into dinosaur shapes.

Definitely helps. But only if you drink the whole thing in one gulp.

Truly, most excellent advice.

You got any tips to repelling rabbits from the garden? I’m about to set some snares and have smoked rabbit but I don’t think the kids or my local law enforcement would care for that b

Plant marigolds. Rabbits hate the smell.

I planted nasturtiums for bugs. Damn. I’ll have to go 50:50 next year

Would also suggest getting a hound dog. My old girl is half beagle and we’ve never had a rabbit problem since one idiot tried to make a nest in the garden. I got a panicked call from my wife as Penny was bringing in partially eaten Thumpers. The call really hit a fever pitch when my wife went to get something off the ground and realized it was a baby bunny eyeball.

I've actually just recently stopped drinking liquids.

I now exclusively consume dinosaur shaped ice cubes.

My garden is not fenced in so my dog can’t hunt there. The front yard my dog barely noticed a bunny 5’ from her nose until I’d started to run which is too late for the dog to get it.

I don’t think that’s physically possible

My freezer is full of these.

You know that birds (yes those) evolved from dinosaurs, right?

The real birds were, yes.

But those were all exterminated by the government between 1959 and 1971 and replaced with the “bird” drones we see today.

We made (I saw we, it was mainly a few friends, I helped very little) a big batch of beer once at University...

in a wheelie bin that we cleaned out. (literally a garbage can)

And then bottled it.

Like 10% of it was sediment and it was made waaaaay stronger than it should have been.

Ended up like ~10% or so we reckoned given how many it took to start getting sloshed.

But it was surprisingly tasty and we all drank probably 30 bottles each or so and yeh, no one got ill. So yeh... and that was beer made in a literal bin. (though there was a plastic bag liner too tbf)

That house was amazing.

Old converted church with crazy high ceilings. I did not live there but was basically sleeping on the sofa probably 2-3 nights a week as why go home at 4am?

They also got 2 trampolines they found online for free and put them in the living room and kitchen as there was a partition wall with a ~4ft gap at the top, like ~10-12ft high wall and then the gap. So you could trampoline onto the wall and then drop into the kitchen instead of walking through the corridor. (no-one ever actually did it more than once really as it was stupid.)

I have a recipe from my grandfather that includes in the instruction to mix the ingredients in a bathtub.
It’s handwritten and ancient. I have no idea why I have not made this before but I feel like I cannot now that I have children.

As a fan of sandwiches, you’ve annoyed me previously.

As someone who birdwatches (sometimes competitively [look up the World Series of Birding, I dare you]), you’ve crossed some f***ing lines. Take it back!

I always ask any birder I meet the same two things. What is your favorite bird of all time and your favorite bird you've personally birdwatched?

So favorite bird has got to be something in the quetzal family, maybe resplendent quetzal. I’ve seen elegant trogon in Arizona which are gorgeous.

I can’t nail down a single bird that I’ve seen but probably the single coolest experience was doing a trip up to Amherst Island on Lake Ontario in the middle of January. The unique geography of the island made it a safe haven for small rodents to breed—no mammalian predators. But it made it a critical roosting and feeding area for owls. They even called the one area “owl woods” for a reason. I believe in the course of a day there I saw seven of the eleven regularly occurring owls in the east (great grey, great horned, long eared, short eared, snowy, saw whet and boreal). And not singly either—more than ten snowy owls on the island as we moved around, thirty or forty long eareds, a handful of the others.
