GM's thread about nothing (19 Viewers)

[charvik]

Getting a house with a bunch of friends for a 3 day vacation in April. Will be 10 adults and 15 kids I've got to cook dinner one of the nights. Got an entire kitchen and a grill at my disposal. We're doing burgers and hotdogs for the 2 lunches, so I can't go that route...looking to take it up a notch or two from there...but at the same time, this doesn't need to be a 5 course meal. Any ideas on what to cook? Initial brainstorms are the following:1. Marinated chicken skewers with peppers and pineapple2. Taco/Nacho bar3. Grilled Pork Tenderloins with various sauces (grilled veggies as side)

I would do herb-crusted grilled pork tenderloins, with a Dijon sauce for adults, and something milder for the kids, pressed potatoes and various grilled veggies, or alternatively a slow cooked Tjaelknul, probably with roasted potatoes, bearnaise and some other sauces as options, with grilled veggies as well.

 

[Abraham]

Explain to me again why you can't do hot dogs and burgers again? The kids won't care - they would eat hot dogs and burgers every day anyway if they could. And the dads will be cool with it to as long as there is booze. So what's the problem?

Pretty sure kids like chicken fingers/tenders/nuggetsETA but a Taco/nacho bar is always a hit

I've always liked Lasagna as a go to for feeding a lot of people.ETA - garlic bread and caesar salad being the no brainer sides that are also easy with a large group.

My Atlanta to NY flight, which was scheduled to board right now, was just delayed by nearly three hours.

Someone please be entertaining. :(

Ah, so you want more information about my love life?

Yes?

So, the prior post about this is here. Yesterday, redX was out of town on a business trip meaning that she missed our son's first t-ball game. No biggie - I know she'd have been there if she had a chance. As a result, I invited girlfriend and her two kids to come.

The team moms know redX, who's good at interacting in the "team mom" world. She tends not to let people know that we're divorced in these situations, and people therefore tend to assume we're still together as we do hang together at these sorts of events. Even though she opted to revert to her maiden name in the divorce, she uses her married name to register our son for things. The kindergarten teacher, for example, had zero clue that we were divorced (partially because we do get along regarding our son, which I'm not complaining about) until I mentioned it during our parent-teacher meeting last fall.

Anyway, I quickly kiss girlfriend when she rolls up and then go back to helping coach my son and his teammates. Girlfriend, who has some social insecurities and is more introverted than redX in these situations anyway, notes to me that, "I'm getting a lot of looks from the moms." Girlfriend also immediately noted when I invited her that the only reason I was inviting her then was because redX wouldn't be in attendance (true, and entirely justified in my mind), which girlfriend bristled at. Girlfriend is extremely resentful that redX refuses to meet with her and thinks I don't do enough to fight for her. I've reminded her that while I can and do demand respect from redX, I can't change how she feels about her or force her to meet (nor would I want to - what am I going to do, provoke a confrontation at some event for my son, or just roll up to the house with girlfriend and knock on the door?).

So now I'm waiting for word to get back to redX that girlfriend was at the game (likely from my son, who seems oblivious to all of this, but possibly from another team mom) and being confronted by an outraged redX for making her look bad and exercising poor judgment, and for girlfriend being "in your face" once again, etc.

So, happy Sunday all. Will answer yours.

Ugh. I'm glad when I got divorced, I divorced a guy.

The only reason this is any issue at all is because we have a kid. She wouldn't be in my life at all but for that. That's the part for you to be glad about. And in truth, overall it could be a lot worse, but this is just a recurring pain in my ### which feels like a no-win situation.

Ok, I had peeps around here saying they'd respond to my cry for help and didn't. Bastages.

I feel old today. I decided to work from home just because I can. I was on my couch checking emails on my laptop and I looked to the side and felt a stabbing pain in my back and got an instant stiff neck. I couldn't move it at all

I have some massive knots in my back now and limited range of motion no matter which way I look. I'm getting a massage later, but seriously need to find a chiropractor at some point here.

Getting old is awesome!!

Slow Cooked Beef Tenderloin.The Swedish name is “tjälknöl”, which roughly translated would be frost-bump.The reason for that name is that you start the cooking with frozen meat. I use beef tenderloin even if it’s more often used on elk steaks, roast beef and such "bigger" pieces of meat.

Happy birthday to the people with birthdays. Today is also my grandfather's birthday, but he is nearly Tanner's age so I had to send him an old-fashioned card. I wasn't even sure they made those any more.

What's a full bar? Are there half bars? Quarter bars? Is this another CA term?

Full bar = liquor/beer/wineNYC has separate licenses for full bars and just beer and wine barsThe NYS liquor authority is one of the most corrupt organizations on the planet, and getting new full bar licenses is exceedingly difficult...Getting a beer/wine license is much easier and much cheaper

This is a state thing? Never heard of a beer and wine bar in Buffalo.

We have them Called a lounge license here (ME, not sure where you're originally from).

Last night I dreamt that Truck, Michael Fassbender and Warren Zevon (RIP) were on Celebrity Jeopardy. When they got to Final Jeopardy, the question (which I don't remember) required a two-part answer, and the correct answers were Bob Dylan and the March on Washington. Truck was first and got Bob Dylan but missed the second part. Michael Fassbender, who in my dream was black, got both parts right. Then they got to Warren Zevon and they didn't even make him show his answer because as the world's foremost expert on Bob Dylan, they knew he had it right. So they handed him the championship without even requiring him to show his answer or how much he had wagered (and he had not doubled up on Fassbender, so it did matter).

In my dream I thought it was absolutely unfair not only that they didn't make him show the answer, but that they had Final Jeopardy be about Bob Dylan when everyone knew that Warren Zevon was the world's foremost expert on Bob Dylan.

At no point in the dream did I wonder why Truck was on Celebrity Jeopardy.

I can break that dream down. This place has become very important in your life, with a weird mix of real, tangible people you've met, and people who you know only by name, reputation, maybe a picture or video. Not surprising that you imagine your fellow posters as celebrities. Fassbender represents your vision of yourself, but you've mixed him up to make him seem like your opposite - a tall, thin black man. Hes also intriguing - a hard working guy who is famous for being able to portray a guy who is both protagonist and antagonist - the android with dreams of something bigger, the mutant who wants to protect his own kind by going on the offensive against humanity, and so on. Plus he has a huge, gaping smile, like your fa china. And zevon represents your feelings of insecurity, because you feel like there are some people who unfairly are handed things they don't deserve, and that you can't overtake them even if you're in the right because the rules are slanted against you. And in your world, you put yourself higher on the ladder than guys like truck, but while you think you could be a zevon it seems like you'll never get that chance. You need to get a sense of control back in your life, and give some thought to whether you want to be more like truck or more like zevon, or if you're happy being just who you are - a well liked pseudo celebrity who sometimes feels like the photo negative of the person you think you can be.

Actually even though Fassbender was in my dream, I knew the name but didn't know who he was and had to look him up.

I had a dream about a week ago that was essentially me writing the synopsis for a late 1970s/early 1980s TV show. One of those 1 hour dramas ABC used to put out. Something along the lines of Charlie's Angels or Eight is Enough.

The weird thing was that there were none of those goofy/surreal things that usually happen in dreams: "...but it wasn't my house it was a Pizza Hut!" or "Fassbender was Chinese!". It was very realistic and straight forward.

And everything was very thought-out and detailed. Too bad it was a terrible show.

Getting a house with a bunch of friends for a 3 day vacation in April. Will be 10 adults and 15 kids I've got to cook dinner one of the nights. Got an entire kitchen and a grill at my disposal. We're doing burgers and hotdogs for the 2 lunches, so I can't go that route...looking to take it up a notch or two from there...but at the same time, this doesn't need to be a 5 course meal. Any ideas on what to cook? Initial brainstorms are the following:1. Marinated chicken skewers with peppers and pineapple2. Taco/Nacho bar3. Grilled Pork Tenderloins with various sauces (grilled veggies as side)

A #### ton of jambalaya

And zevon represents your feelings of insecurity, because you feel like there are some people who unfairly are handed things they don't deserve, and that you can't overtake them even if you're in the right because the rules are slanted against you. And in your world, you put yourself higher on the ladder than guys like truck, but while you think you could be a zevon it seems like you'll never get that chance. You need to get a sense of control back in your life, and give some thought to whether you want to be more like truck or more like zevon, or if you're happy being just who you are - a well liked pseudo celebrity who sometimes feels like the photo negative of the person you think you can be.

well done

Getting a house with a bunch of friends for a 3 day vacation in April. Will be 10 adults and 15 kids I've got to cook dinner one of the nights. Got an entire kitchen and a grill at my disposal. We're doing burgers and hotdogs for the 2 lunches, so I can't go that route...looking to take it up a notch or two from there...but at the same time, this doesn't need to be a 5 course meal. Any ideas on what to cook? Initial brainstorms are the following:1. Marinated chicken skewers with peppers and pineapple2. Taco/Nacho bar3. Grilled Pork Tenderloins with various sauces (grilled veggies as side)

A #### ton of jambalaya

I consider myself a pretty decent cook, but I suck at jambalaya

Actually even though Fassbender was in my dream, I knew the name but didn't know who he was and had to look him up.

The first actor I came up with was James Earl Jones when I googled: white actor with big penis I dreamed was blackAnd then because that's a weird thing to search for, I thought of that old thread about a site where you could see what people were searching for in real time. And it’s still there!
