Ugh, that guy. :rolleyes2: I made his chicken chow mein. Nothing really ground breaking. Now the Sam the Cooking guy... good food and entertaining. (He's also one of those northerner canadian aboots)

Papa has some decent recipes; even Uncle Roger granted him "uncle" status for his egg fried rice. I will often use components of his recipes in dishes, but as guitar players say, I'm not a N4N (note for note) kind of guy.

Sam is from the Left Coast (Vancouver.) He is entertaining and also has some good stuff. Next time I'm in San Diego I intend to check out Not Not Tacos. I use his grilled chicken sandwich recipe for the sauce and homemade naan but make chicken shawarma for the protein.

The greek one? I made that a couple weekends ago and (was lazy) put the chicken on toasted rolls. Kids loved it!

Yup, that one. Try the naan as it's really easy dough to work with and yields a very voluptuous naan. The Greek marinade isn't bad, I've made that one before, but Mrs. Piob has a schawarma recipe that is killer. That sauce is also really good on salmon that's been smoked, grilled, or pan sauteed.

Did you see Sam's new dry ager? When he put that primal in it was like a hot dog in a hallway. TWSS!

Wife was browsing thru Nextdoor and showed me a few posts saying their cars were broken into and loose stuff stolen. They be all “lock your doors people!”

is it still a break in if your dumb ass leaves the car unlocked overnight…?

People getting really upset when their favorite sports team loses a game. It's mindless entertainment for a few hours. If a loss by people you don't know adversely affects your emotional well-being, you need to re-evaluate what's going on in your life.

Unless you have money riding on the game. Then being really upset is valid.

Money is one reason to be upset, and another is the lost - or at least diminished - social opportunity. Gatherings for the big game are more fun when you have a rooting interest.

But I agree with the OP's general point. There are way too many adult males with too big of an emotional investment in professional sports.

Even dumber when they get into a fight about it afterwards.
