The musings of a madman...

     Please bear with us this week, folks.  Two kitchens are becoming one, so all of our stuff is somewhere in the in-between.  Tuesday posts are the ones we have not yet built a cache of yet, so that means we are without a post this week. We will use this opportunity and space to recap the things we HAVE done, though.      Spaghetti Zoodles and Sauce : An intro to substitutions.  Properly used, zucchini will become one of the most versatile things in your entire kitchen.      Fried Chicken Breakfast Sliders : Speaking of switch-ups…  We’ve been frying chicken wrong our entire lives.  All of us.  Also, “low-carb” doesn’t necessarily mean “no bread” either.      Cauliflower Croquettes : A dish I created with potatoes a long time ago goes over JUST as swimmingly with cauliflower.      Curried Fish and Spicy Ginger Cabbage : Phlip: “WE MUST CURRY ALL OF THE THINGS!!!” Mimi: “let’s not”      Lottery-Winning Chicken : This chicken filling will become one of t

(Warming up for the Winter Olympics next year) Okay, so apparently the word “spearchucking” is offensive to some people.  Like, even when describing someone who is depicted ACTUALLY throwing a fucking spear. I won’t apologize. Warning : I  will  talk about things that HAVE happened on the show and while some might call these “spoilers,” I do not since the shit has been online since Thursday and available through all official avenues since last night.  If you haven't seen it yet and don’t want spoilers, please close your browser tab. I won’t approach these like a normal episode recap, because you should have known not to expect normal from me. Before I continue, I have a couple of questions/observations… Remember in earlier seasons, when it would take a character/group several episodes in a course that should represent several weeks to move from one place in Westeros to another? Average horse footspeed is what?  6mph?  By my quick math (and I don't math

(look, you don't just give me Missandei's fine ass BUTT naked and then take it from me!)      Yes, I watch Game of Thrones too.

I won’t approach this like a normal episode recap, because you should have known not to expect normal from me. So here we go… Game of Thrones.  Season 7, Episode 6: Beyond The Wall .      Let me start off by saying that sending a ragtag bunch of misfits into someone else’s home turf to kidnap one person to show the rest of the world they exist seems like a patently horrible idea.  It is a horrible idea with sound reasoning, but still patently horrible. The brightest spot of the early episode was the back-and-forth between Tormund Giantsbane and Sandor Clegane. I wil

First thing’s first.  No one is paying me to post this. [ Note : if you want to, though, the PayPal link is on the left] Now that we got THAT out of the way, let’s get down to it. September 2014, my iPod Nano finally succumbed to too many drops and started to bust open at the top.  I had gotten it second hand and I was not about to lay out the cash for any Apple product at the time. I went with the Sony NWZ-E380 Walkman and it served me masterfully for years.  Gym duty, outdoor workouts, sitting on the couch reading/writing, yard work and most importantly, DAILY droning out of office chatter.      “Well why don’t you use your phone for all that, Phlip?” Thanks for asking, I USED to use my phones for all of that, but I found myself in possession of charger-dependent phones due to the constant need of charge due to 8-hours-a-day constant usage. Anyway.  Syncing the Sony last week brought me to the realization that it has met its demise. I sent it on to glory (did
