    2025 NFL Season Thread

    It's been a very good football year for me for a change. Though not a native I've lived in Chicago for 40 years so the Bears are obviously my pick. Also, I'm a Indiana University alum who played there 1 year, though it was basketball. I recently dug 2 sweatshirts from both teams out of storage...

    Crowd Cow?

    I would definitely recommend the rib eye steak over the filet mignon. All of the A5 producers are excellent, however, my last couple purchases have been from Kagoshima and their products have been outstanding.

    Crowd Cow?

    I've been a customer of crowd cow for around 10 years, primarily for for A5 Wagyu. Over the years, they've expanded their offerings in multiple areas with the same dedication to high quality products at a reasonable price. A couple days ago I ordered some sashimi grade Hokkaido scallops from...

    Thanksgiving How To Spatchcock a Turkey

    I have the same OXO poultry shears that others have shown, but when things get tough with a large turkey, I use tin snips.

    More SF Style SD Tartine

    Beautiful looking loaves. I envy your skills. Several years ago I was working with a client on a long term project in the Bay area, and commuting there a couple times a month from my home base in Chicago. If time allowed, I would swing by Tartine in route to the airport and pick up a loaf or...

    This is what heaven must be like.

    They didn't allow women until 1970 when the Supreme Court forced them to do so. They drew a line on the bathroom issue, and it was unisex until the mid 1980s.

    This is what heaven must be like.

    The last time I was there, a few years ago, they accepted debit cards and personal checks.

    This is what heaven must be like.

    Sounds like you're having a good time, except for the weather. If you're going to Katz's, there's a procedure to follow when ordering. When you arrive, get in line and as you move along they will give you a blank receipt. Don't lose it. Be prepared ahead of time on what you're going to order...

    This is what heaven must be like.

    Dan - Sounds like you're having a good time in NYC, a city that I love. Though I wasn't born or raised there, I lived there in Manhattan for several years. After relocating from NYC many years ago, I still manage to get there around 6 times a year. As you found out, Arthur St. in the Bronx is a...

    Anyone else make aged eggnog?

    Sorry for the delay in getting back to you but I finally saw the bartender who makes the 1 year aged eggnog last night and he told me that in addition to the Fortaleza anejo tequila, he also uses Amontillado dry sherry. When blending the two, the the volume of sherry is 50% of the volume of...

    Country Ham Research

    CP... I read your thread and noticed something missing in your commentary. Did you, or did you not, soak the hams before preparing and serving? To me, that's a mandatory first step when preparing a country ham. The ham must be completely submerged in water, and refrigerated for 2-4 days...

    Medical Insurance

    Brian, Maybe I wasn't clear enough in my prior post, but if your current doctor isn't taking any ACA Market Place plans as of 1/1/2026, there isn't for you to "find". As such you and your current doctor will be parting ways, and you need to find a new one that accepts a plan acceptable to you.

    Medical Insurance

    Brian, I just went through this thread for the first time, and it seems to me that the solution to your problem is pretty simple to solve. Based on what you've been told the current medical practice that you are a patient of will not be accepting the insurance that you have, effective 1/1/2026...

    What in the Sweet Baby Jesus is going on? Meat prices.

    In the past,Canada and Mexico have historically been dominant suppliers of beef to the US, largely due to their geographic proximity and the complementary nature of their cattle and beef industries. They've also benefited from the U.S.-Mexico-Canada Agreement (USMCA), though I don't know what...

    Anyone else make aged eggnog?

    SSB - nice sounding recipe, and thanks for sharing. I, for one, have always detested eggnog. One of those Christmas items, along with fruitcake, that should just disappear. That said, last year, just before Christmas I stopped by the local pub and the bartender asked me if I wanted to dry their...
