maybe not for most, but the recipes and cooking instructions are helpful. I personally have never cooked food this good
yeah, i see things like this as like a gateway to home cooking. get some recipes/techniques under your belt and then you can go off and plan on your own. and the markup isnt so awful as to make it seem like a huge waste.


Yea my wife and I both like to cook and try new things but we've learned a ton via these recipes


Same here

I got some free meals to give out if anyone is interested

Was talking to one of the facilities guys at work yesterday who served in Vietnam as a 17 year old marine sniper. Told me a story about how him and his spotter got sent out on a rescue mission (not sure if others were there) to retrieve 5 kidnapped medic nurses from a compound deep in the jungles. When they got there and scoped out the compound they saw the nurses' beheaded and their heads put up on pikes. They waited for the head guy to come out on to the porch, "and I shot him right in the sternum from about 650 yards, dropped him right there on the porch like a bag of dog shit"

They then had to hide in 6ft deep "spider holes" for three days while the Vietcong swept the area to find them. They emerged covered in their own shit and piss and made it back to camp by following the nearby river back

Anyway this guy makes like $12/hr now doing shitty back breaking work without health insurance now

I've known a few snipers who have served. Some crazy stories. No clue how 100% true all the stories are, but I'm sure they're mostly based in fact. Anyway, they are an interesting breed of character that's for sure.

State documents show that Premium Mortuary Services in Carlisle is being investigated for not refrigerating human remains.
Documents show one body was growing mold while another had begun to mummify.
The report also said maggots were found living in one of the decaying bodies.
They also said the facility had a "slight odor of decomposition" and several methods to mask the smell were being used, including car air fresheners hanging around.

It's stories like these that remind me to make sure I put all the food back in the refrigerator before leaving town.

Anyone ever go to the 2nd Street Festival in NoLibs and if so, is it a crowded mess or worth a visit?

I went once several years ago and it was a crowded mess then. Tune-Yards was playing that year and they haven't booked a band that big since, so I dunno if it might've died down. But if I had to guess, I'd guess no

basically a ton of okay street food and sorta pricey beer
no offense but you are everything that's wrong with America

when I was like 20 I worked at a non-union office furniture installation place and we had one guy that was supposedly a for-hire assassin in a past life.

Seems like if you name your building Torch Tower you're kind of asking for trouble.

The best part.... AGAIN

This reminds me of this one dude I knew back home who we would call Clapinger, the clap, or just simply clap. His last name sounded very close to Clapinger. Great story, long story, same results.
