Welcome to the IHoP v.2

Recommended Posts

Had a great wedding and mini honeymoon but getting sick on the way back blows.

Can't stand up for too long and my body feels like I ran a half marathon.

Sounds like a monster flu!

I'll wait until the photographers pics are available. She was a wizard with lighting and colors.

Was with the wife the other day and a posse of her coworkers was there.  I had to wonder to myself 'why am I married again?' more than once....

Fuck that.  I would still marry my first love in an instant and not think twice about it.  The only woman I've ever been with who could make me disinterested in other women.

I made a few gallons of broth and am simmering it down now. I intended to make some good chicken soup with noodles but I want saltier than just basic chicken soup would give me. So I made Asian inspired soup.

Cut up some chicken from the 2 roasters I made and put them in bowls. Then for noodles I decided soba would be frikkin perfect. Boiled them and washed the extra starch off and portioned them out. Added soy, mirin, and oyster sauce. Holy fuck. Wow is this fantastic.

A few gallons??? Big fridge, or freeze part of it?

This will get frozen. I sometimes can it, but I have gotten lazy. I like the simmer the soup down until it's really strong. Then I can dilute it as needed.

Usual batch is 4 gallons of rich broth... maybe a bit more. Not sure how many quarts come out of my big pot actually.

Works like a friggen charm though. I use my pasta pot and it strains out all the bones and veg. Barely any clean up needed if I wanted to take out all sediment. I don't though and if I'm making something that needs it cleaned I do that when I use it. Makes better soup if I leav it in.

Bought a Mavic wheelset, with Deore LX hubs, quick release skewers and Shimano cassette for $35 today. Now I only need tires and I have a set of extra wheels for trail riding smile.png

The hubs are worth more than that. I have had terrible luck with Mavic, but they are French so that is expected. And really, if they don't do what you need lacing your own on those hubs more than saved you what you paid. smile.png

 

The cassette is worth $25, geared better for road use too compared to mine and it has very little use. Honestly, I think they are better than the Ridiga's which I have now: typical simple front and double Zac19 rear, both with Shimano RM40 hubs. And these have not needed truing since I trued them. 

 

Do you have a dislike for a lot of french things too? :lol:

RTA results, the laptop was set on a little chair next to the glove box:

Everything closed(doors/windows)

33Hz 112.3 ; 34 - 112.8 ;  35 - 113.5 ; 36 - 112.7

 

35Hz

Driver window open - 114.5

Driver door open 114.6  - saw a 114.7 but could not repeat it again

Both windows open 113.5

Passenger window open 113.8

Both doors open halfway 109.5

 

Moved the box to the trunk

35Hz

Driver door open 114.8

 

So overall - the car peaks at 35(as was proven on show last year) and it's loudest with mic on passenger side and driver door open. And with the box in the trunk it's louder than in the middle in the car.

 

Driver door open

 

 

35Hz driver window down

 

 

35, box in the trunk, driver door open

 

I remember we did some testing like that in 2008 on a friend's car and he put the highest score he ever did following the test results. So, go for it, especially for positioning it's a great test.

Got a new job, wife got a new job. Should be sitting on fat stacks of loot soon.... I should go out for steak.. but all I want is shitty ramen noodles.

I fuxored you

 

Oh, how so?

 

You love my wet slippery noodles. I give it to you once and you can't get enough

 

Its the deep salty and umami flavor. Better than crack. Hard to lift with chopsticks until skilled though.

 

Interesting. I've always found it MUCH easier to eat with sticks, but perhaps the skilled is implied on my part.

Want something else to use chopsticks for? Try salads. You'll absolutely hate using a fork afterwards. Almost makes me carry them to restaurants for that purpose.

 

Chopsticks for salad FTW. 

I was at a barbecue Saturday and while eating fries and salad I was thinking "this would be so easy with chopsticks".
