Admittedly, also, when I read a thread about a new toy, I immediately thought of Tom Brady's best friend -- that was thrown on to the field.
Oh. It's a sweet copy of legendary music gear? Geddy Lee, wearing shiny pants, plays a similar instrument? They did not throw this bass guitar onto the field in Orchard Park? This thread reinforces the magical nature of the internet.

I have a smoked burger that I make that’s really good but have to use 80/20 ground for exactly the reason you mentioned. I bet next time they’ll be much better if you get some extra fat in there.I also just smoked 4lbs of home ground pork butt -- for breakfast sausages. Simple recipe, LOTS of fat on the pork butt, zest of two oranges, toasted then hand ground fennel, salt, pepper, crushed red pepper. Then I made them into 1/4 lb patties before smoking for 45 minutes @ 225F.

Looks like what Geddy Lee played for a while in the late 80 early 90s, although I think he played a Steinberger.
In this picture, Geds is shinier than I remembered him to be.

I smoke everything and i have also tried to smoke everything..........some things work, and others don't.
Smoked salmon or trout, no problem, however, never smoke bass (tried it and there's a reason why no one ever eats smoked bass cause it's beyond terrible).
Ribs, pork chops and sausages are still a fan favorite to smoke.... filet mignon, however, is not. I tried it last weekend and it was horrible and in fact, there's not too many beef products that are even too good to smoke, besides brisket or beef ribs......cuts of steak rarely work out well.
Agree 100%. If it's too lean it can get gross on the smoker. A couple of years ago I had a few pounds of ground venison. "Make burgers," I said to myself. "Smoked burgers are great!" Boy, was I wrong. Dry, awful, inedible.
I might try this again, now that we have our own grinder. I'll probably just add in some fat during the grinding process and this should correct the issue.
With pork tenderloin (minus the silver skin), as an example, I'll to a dry rub and let sit in the fridge for a few hours. Smoking to temp @225 heat works nicely.

I stopped grilling steaks a couple years back. Wait, what?
My old Weber (propane) finally crapped out, so I bought a new, huge, Weber with the sear station and all of that jazz -- then had this epiphany that my steaks, while cooked exactly they way I wanted them, on the inside, were sorely lacking the sear that I was seeking. Plus, after having steaks cooked on charcoal, the difference was palpable. (The Weber is great for most other stuff, so I still use it a lot.)
IOW, I echo the sentiments about sous vide. I'll sous vide to about 120F or so, then hit it in screaming-hot cast iron for 1-2 minutes per side to finish. For those who've never sous vide, a lengthy hot water bath tends to give meat a grayish appearance -- tho it's cooked on the inside.
Regardless, I keep it simple with salt, pepper, and olive oil, maybe 1TB of butter in a cast iron pan, and that does the trick -- after a 15-minute rest. Favorites are boneless ribeyes and NY strips. I've started getting into tri-tip lately.
And, yes, I agree with everyone who mentioned Thermapen (even a generic one): FTW.
I have a grill and a pellet smoker. I've thought about a Green Egg or maybe getting another Smokey Joe, but I'm conflicted -- I'm also looking at a tandoor -- because the tandoor should be able to do everything the GE can... and more.

I remember when, pre Tom Brady, Bill Belichick was a laughing matter. He had worn out his welcome in Cleveland after having benched Bernie K for Testaverde. Then there was my summer of glee -- I think that it was either 1999 or 2000, a handful of years after I moved to Boston for a tech job -- where he had ideations of starting Michael Bishop at QB. And that was after he wrote his resignation to the Jets on a cocktail napkin, before holding a terse presser. I thought that I could further watch this loathsome figure destroy the Pats, but no. But freaking no. Tom freaking Brady.
(I don't have a calendar in front of me, so maybe it was 2000. It is all a blur for me sometimes.)
He proceeded to go sub-.500 in his first year as HC of the Pats.
Then, ugh. Just, ugh. Tom freaking Brady.
Everything after that was classic BB, and look at the results (gleeful).
What I'm getting at is that it seems over for BB, as well it should. While I would like the Bills to move on from McD, at the same time I'd be non-plussed if BB is his replacement.

Linux/FreeBSD changed the way I thought about software and development -- and changed my focus in college from pre-law to computer science.

Yeah, Lindy Ruff. His ghost got the second youngest team in the NHL 112 points a year ago.... and for this year?
I liked him as coach here, don't get me wrong, but I'd much prefer someone like Berube.

Just now, Doc said:
Why? The previous guys lasted 3 years at most.
Easy question. They gave Grannato an extension and yet the team underachieved, like bigly.
The Sabres aren't terrible. As I wrote earlier in this thread, we've seen terrible with the Sabres in recent years. They gave the coach an extension with zero reason(s) to do so. In that light I am surprised about the change in course.
-
I can't believe that they fired the coach. I mean, yes, I can, but I thought that he would be here forever.
So long as they don't hire Ted Nolan or the ghost of Lindy Ruff, I would hope for better results next year.

Were you around during the trial? I swear, I remember thinking the glove moment was such a joke. I felt like nobody could possibly believe for a second that OJ didn’t manipulate his hand and the glove.I was definitely around during the trial, both in WNY (finishing up at UB) and watching it with a perverse curiosity. I loved watching OJ play football. He was a great PR guy and a pretty funny fall guy in the Naked Gun. I couldn't help but watch.
It wasn't just the glove didn't fit, given my recollection; it was the look on OJ's face and his mannerisms that totally sold that moment.
Around the jury, I'm wondering if the previous LA riots played a role in their decision, but admittedly this is just conjecture on my part.

You can’t leave out the jury. That group is fascinating to me. Wonder if any of them have commented on his death.
If a juror admitted that their judgement was based on anything other than their unbiased understanding of the evidence presented, they are committing a felony. This isn’t Nam.
Again, I actually think he didn’t do it, but I think he knew exactly what happened.
I think of it in simple(r) terms, and the docu series kinda broke it down in the same way; it came down to the shriveled glove.

During the machinations of OJ's criminal trial, I was dating a wildly inappropriate woman -- which tracks, because at the time I was also wildly inappropriate. Everybody hated everybody so there was parity.
I happened to snark on dinner night (one night, with her family) that OJ would have his charges reduced to a noisy muffler infraction, and a short time later, there we were. I was wrong in premise, but I was also right that literally zero would happen to him in that criminal trial.
The judge was an attention seeker, the lead detective an avowed racist, the assistant DA a (former?) stripper (that was real, right?), Kato, useless witnesses, a circus of a trial, a glove did not fit, and jeez, like so many others I came to understand that OJ had literally gotten away with not one, but two -- TWO! -- murders.

an extra 3.2 million now that gets him completely off the books.....Correct, and in my view it happened for a reason. I don't care about tweets or twits or whatever (I haven't been on social media for ages), but that move was clear in its implications.

He will be finely tuned, and if he starts missing again next season then I will blame you for your first go-round with him. HAHA

What's funny about DD is that it's super regionally based. I talked about Dyngus Day with a (Polish in ancestry) ex-girlfriend's family, in Syracuse, decades ago, and they looked at me like I was a hydra. (I probably was a hydra.) And yet, over the years I've found folks in Cleveland and in other places who embrace this very sacred day.

Greatest rapper of all time…
My father-in-law has this saying: vanilla water. It's his sarcastic barb for anything that isn't deemed worthy of conversation.
So I asked him, last Christmas, how to explain Vanilla Ice. He boggled. So I explained, flatly, that, "Vanilla Ice is what happens to vanilla water when it gets extremely cold."

I've been thinking recently that we should make more albums for dogs (love 'em), like this jam that you can only hear at 20k or higher.
