Happy kimchi day! Yes, really.

New Gaupa, Myriad Relatively new Black Space Riders, We Have Been Here Before Not new, but still this year, King Buffalo, Regenerator

It's all fun and games until someone pokes an eye a democracy out.

I fixed it! (added a couple dollops of plain balsamic vinegar) It came out perfect. I've had 3 helpings today, will return to diet tomorrow. Maybe could be a little tangier, but at least I didn't make it too tangy.

Is anyone using Hexclad?

Does anyone use the Hexclad stuff?

Smashing Pumpkins, Atum - Act I -- what in the actual fog is this? Completely different songwriting style for B. Corgan & co. Maybe his inner drama theater club member is showing itself? Can't say as I mind -- I mean, Anna Kendrick had it.

pulled pork loin/tenderloin dry rub fell asleep (8 hours or so?) woke up, added tomato sauce, rocoto peppers, and (citrus?) flavoured balsamic vinegar went about my day (a couple hours) flipped everything went about my day (a couple hours) came back, and all the pork had dissolved -- I probably could have pulled them apart with a cheap, flacid, utensil I think it came out better'n any brisket I've ever made, too -- wasn't quite spicy or tangy enough, so... I ruined it -- added some beans, chipotle peppers, diced hot green chilies, now I need to add onions, garlic, and some more balsamic vinegar, maybe? or lime juice... Now (before onions) it's spicy enough but not tangy or sweet enough -- the onions will take care of the sweet, so maybe just some regular rice vinegar and call it done before I ruin it for real.

Да, у нас нет бананов. У нас нет бананов, сейчас .

Happy birthday! Have a cake. (party favour noise)

Happy birthday, Chris! I'll let every one else make all the fish jokes.

Happy birthday, Mikey! (birth year party favour noise)

And they're coming to America. Two dates only, one on each coast. Grrr...argh...

Aw, dude, that sucks so hard -- they just came out with a genre-bending/another genre-defining album of their career!

I'm definitely coming around on them. 😁 I am totally enamored with the singing by Nemophila's lead singer. Have you done a deep dive yet? Part power metal with Van Halen harmonies; part harsh (witchy-poo, but very musical). It's not prog, but sometimes I just want dumb old rock'n'roll that's catchy as shit.

Yeah, I have as many merchants email my receipts as possible.

I've made that joke to their faces. "No I don't need a bag (receipt starts to print out...continues to print out...continues to print out) On second thought, I might need a bag after all."

Nemophila Discography Run (not saying much, they only have 2.5 albums) followed by Placebo Discography Run (yes, including the B-sides and covers)

I am listening to my favourite band in the world, because, due to my inability to get my act together, I am not in New Orleans with them, where they are performing tonight. I has a sad. Here's their latest song and video:

It turned out super tasty and had that barbecue tang that was definitely missing from my goulash, but the place smells like Hormel, and I can't get over it. It's still delicious, I just need the house to stop reminding me of Hormel.

I, too, am a big fan of the full stop. Thanks for the inadvertant rec.

Oh, interesting, she crockpots the pork at the beginning, and doesn't sear it*...hmmm...I'm doing something similar, but going with your BBQ pulled pork idea, with some typical Dusty embellishments...will let you know how it turns out, but I think it's going to be tasty... *I'll pass on the ketchup, though.
