General chit chat and shit talk.

Last night I was listening to some Beatles songs so I decided to go Beatles hunting for some pins. I ended up buying 2 lots of Beatle pins from the same guy. I also found a rare Rolling Stones pin (Black and Blue) that I hadn't seen before, so I had to buy them too.

I'm not a big horse racing guy but when it comes to the triple crown races on TV i'm in. It's a hell of an exciting minute and a half when they finally get to it. Especially if you have a wager, or a wager with fake money, or a pickem going.

Thanks Mystik Dan!

Look on the bright side:



Because the playoff contest didn't get updated, you didn't lose any ground in that tonight.

Just came across a local auction for charity. There's a couple things I'm going to bid on like Amazon gift certificates and local restaurants certificates. But, the one thing I'm going to be bidding heavily on is a pair of tickets for a Patriots game. The winner will have their choice of 3 games. The seats are Section 108 Row 3!! That's pretty close! It also includes parking.
Opening bid is only $100.

An update: I won the tickets tonight for $408.00. They're kind of expensive but they're third row from the field (Section 108) behind the Pats sideline. I'll never get that close again. I'm going to find out what 3 games I have a choice of after the schedule comes out. Plus it was for the Make a Wish Foundation, which I think is a very worthy cause. So, all in all, I'm pretty psyched!!

Best experience I had at Gillette was free tickets from a friend, 8th row on the visitor 45 yard line. It was an early November game against the Texans with David Carr.. so we slaughtered them. It was something like 24-0 at the end of the 1st quarter, low 60’s and sunny. It was such a nice day, beers were flowing!

I have never owned, or used an air fryer before. I bought one for the new house now that I have the space and it is fucking awesome.

I got a Instantpot Duo Crisp a while back. Pressure, Air Fry, Slow Cook, Sous Vide - love it.

12 hour brine, 8 minute pressure cook, then pat dry and sear - makes for one hell of a pork tenderloin.

edit: Going to try an air-fry skirt steak tomorrow.

I have an Instant Pot Ultra (6 quart) and an 8 quart DuoCrisp. I love the Ultra, but the "nonstick" on my duo crisp came off the second time I used the thing.

So, now, I've got the air frying portion of my 8 quart Instant Pot in its original box, underneath the stairs with other long term and/or mostly useless, storage items. I do love the additional 2 quarts for pressure cooking, though.

I've used mine quite a bit - no problem so far. You can get a replacement fryer basket ... Or use a stainless steamer basket.

I love the Instant Pots, but I'm not giving the company more money to replace the item that didn't hold up the first time. I did like the way it cooked up chicken wings those two times and, although I've since found a pretty good way to mimic that in the oven, I would like to get more of what I paid for with the Duo Crisp. So I'll definitely think about the stainless, although that'll lead to the sticking problem that I bought nonstick to avoid.

I just bought a Black and Decker toaster oven combo for like 60 bucks.

When I lived in England I looked at some toaster ovens (smaller, quicker heat up than a full oven). Wound up with one of those Ron Popeil "set it and forget it" rotisserie deals. One of the best purchases I ever made - that thing was awesome. Great build quality, all non-stick so easy to clean, and it just plain worked. Burgers, pork chops, whole chickens, kebabs - easy to baste while it was running. Got 10 years or so out of it.

I had one too. I used to love cooking boneless prime rib roast in it.

It’d be really cool if the Bruins could try tonight
