Is he like that zac begans guy from ghost adventures? I saw an episode this weekend. That dude brings never seen before intensity to the reality tv genre. I don't know if it's the glasses, physique or demeanor... But I might just have to terminate my boycott of reality tv and watch another episode.

He had a strong recommendation of "economics in one lesson". So I got it- was just another "anyone who doesn't pick themselves up by their bootstraps and SUCCEED! is worthless" type books (reminded me of the rich dad poor dad trash). Pissed at him ever since then.

Interesting take on economics in one lesson. I viewed it as an accessible (to non-economists) defense of markets, and an overview of how well-intentioned policy can often have unintended negative consequences. Probably has a lot of proselytizing in it that didnt bother me because I am extremely skeptical of Keynesianism. It's been a while since I read it though...

I can understand the opinion of Rich Dad Poor Dad as aspirational trash, but it was my gateway to more sophisticated personal finance writing. Personal finance sources such as Rich dad poor dad, Suzy Orman, Dave Ramsey, etc serve their purpose.

Rich Dad Poor Dad is kinda like every sales book I've ever read. about 7% good stuff and a bunch of filler, big font & big margins.

So my undergrads should take up writing.

Most homemade pancakes fall short of McDonalds' or those in your grocer's freezer, and it's a lot to clean up. Why bother!

Maybe you/Mrs. Grote just suck at making pancakes?

Strange. My mom's pancakes are amazing and simple.. but taste buds and emotional connections to food are a funny game.

grote obviously never had prince's pancakes

I did not, no. I don't eat before 11

The genesis of this hot (cake) take is my son's little frozen Eggo pancakes being delicious after 30 seconds in the microwave. Made me think

Eggo Waffles have their role--much like frozen pizza. Don't compare them to actual waffles or actual pizza, and you'll be able to appreciate them.

Grote's pancake take is simply wrong, but it makes me wonder how he makes his homemade pancakes--scratch (really not that hard) Bisquick (I think the recipe on the box makes a thin batter, so I use a little less liquid) or some instant powder version (never actually made these, because Bisquick is so easy I don't see the point).

I always figured the reason to get fast food breakfast was because it's a whole lot easier to have someone else make your breakfast meats than to do it at home.

You certainly posted this in the correct thread, I'll give you that much.

maybe you just had bad brisket. bad brisket sucks bad.

with that said, dont get brisket at mission bbq. actually dont go to mission bbq.

Brisket is a fickle thing. Bad brisket is awful. Good brisket is orgasmic

Feel the same about prime rib too.

Different cooking techniques but same general parity with both.
