Wait, there is a difference between a stove and an oven?

I love cooking, but it's always the same things. I need to learn some tricks.

Not tricks, skills.

What would you suggest for me to cook this weekend. I have an oven, no fancy grills and stuff. Some meat maybe, pizza, or something that involves potato and other vegetables? Easy, not very expensive($ ingredients).

Any advice on chicken breasts in an oven? That's what I feel about eating.

What do you like?

Do you have at least a cast iron pan (BY FAR the best cheap option ). If you don't, go spend $15.

I like meat and vegetables all in some nice sauce.

Cast iron pan - checked.

Then I would encourage you to pan cook or pan bake the chicken. Once done, deglaze said pan and then add a thickener of sorts. Do you have a favorite style of pan sauce? If so, I'll help you throuhg it.

What's wrong with just doing it in the oven. The stake we do here is done in an oven, but it's common to use pork. I just replace it with chicken cause I don't like the fat.

Why is the thickener added?

No fav style of pan sauce.

Pork loin should be more lean than chicken. Unless you're talking about boneless skinless. And if that's what your talking about, then you're eating to live not eating because it's yummy.

I like my meat clean, no skin, no membranes(?) and bones.

oh u mad cuz he stylin on ya

Damn... ordering a new couch from La-Z-Boy this weekend. That means I have to do some reorganizing of the home system, and moving of said monster across the living room.

My speakers are too damn heavy (right around 125 pounds apiece) and on spikes... Not easy to move across wood floors. On a positive note, I think I will leave the sub on the same wall as it is behind the new couch. I will have to dial it back a bit, I am sure... Now I have a real reason to do that IB setup I have been putting off for years.

Electric (Hot plate) is fine with cast. The pan holds the heat which basicaly defeats the purpose of gas (lpg) anyways

[dem beats 1,223]

cast iron ftmfw..

as for the double spatchcock, hells yeah. I actually find it easier to cook. I usually go stove top to oven thought.

I saw pictures of your towers, but what does your sub enclosure look like? Similar to your towers?

There's a reason its called Bangkok, not Bangcunt

Did you watch The Hangover Part II?

Yup, choked on my popcorn a couple times I was laughing so hard. Great film!

[///M5 2,833]

Regularly ends up in choking

[dem beats 1,223]

skittle choking killed the HOP.

this new workload is so opressive to handle and learn I'm bringing in paperwork to review while in the crapper at work.

A few months ago pricing on beds and other household furniture was discussed. I could use some help here.

1) Where do you go to compare pricing online?

2) What is the best 'tactics' to get them to move on the price?

3) How much is too much, how much is too little.

We are buying a dresser, a Cali King bed (frame, mattress, box spring or base), and a Queen bed (same shit), a couch or 2, a chair, and possibly a full dining table and chairs.

Gotta get tactics now LOL

When I bought my mattress I found actual mattress places were much more sales oriented and knowledgeable than a regular furniture store, they were also more lenient on the price too.

[topgun 262]

Dresser, table, chairs, and that kind of thing I would watch craigslist.

[///M5 2,833]

Ouch, you just listed needing $10-15k of furniture J.
