Random Jabber Jibber thread

[2rollingstoned]

Been jamming this album on pretty frequent rotation lately while cleaning. Reminds me of 70s old school rock.

Smoking a skittles joint and having a huge caramel coffee to inspire my continued organizing my house binge.

Finally got thru that motherfucker called Menopause and suddenly now I need less stuff and finding happiness in small things. Learning to enjoy the next phase of my life and accepting the things I cannot change.

Had a few humbling things happen this summer that made me think about everything in my life. One being the cops dropped by my house for another reason and I was around back taking a break from weeding my flowers. Smoking a fat doob and up walks a cop!

I wanted to puke, shit and faint all at once. I've never been in trouble in my life. Always stayed low key. Weed is still very very illegal here and the cop says "I'm not here for that mam, I am not worried about it at all I think it should be legalized so we have less of a headache"!

I was so stunned and so scared but I didn't get in trouble. Neighborhood things have been happening and they were asking questions about unrelated stuff here. But now I am on their radar. Forever paranoid cause they know I'm a fan of the ganja. I will never totally relax here again cause of it.

I tell myself "it is what it is" a whole lot these days.

For the love of goddess legalize more states in the south!! I refuse to be on pills and things that doesn't help me the way weed does. I have super shitty anxiety and nothing helps like weed and cbd oils which I am only allowed hemp products legally here.

We pay taxes, law abiding citizens but still could go to jail for herb if caught with more than a few doobs.

I know..random as shit but this is my jibber jabber for the day ...ponderings of an old school stoner.

I must be finished with MANopause because I find I feel almost smothered by all the stuff I've collected over my lifetime as you have talked about.
Got rid of a bunch of clothing & hunting gear I don't wear or use any longer yesterday which it seems has motivated me to shed even more junk I don't use any longer.

Who only smoke half a blunt?

I don't smoke weed in my car anymore.
Too risky.

It wasn't a big deal before legalization, but now they take that shit seriously.

Not sure what the "legal limit" is, but I'm probably over it 24/7.

I am so feeling this post! I am experiencing some second half of life Renaissance. Menopause was official in May, went thru some really humbling moments I won't dwell on this summer, got absolutely nothing for my birthday, found myself with few friends left alive to talk to and my fam just never got along and go years without seeing each other.

I had been renting booth space in a vendor mall and selling concert t shirts, vintage and new festival clothing, leather coats, albums and cds, books etc. The place closed down at last min and I had 3 days to get all that shit out of their building by myself without a truck. I made a million loads in my car and just left what I couldn't haul. Moved it all in to my house in a couple of rooms just all messy and piled up. The next day I missed a bottom step going down into the basement and broke my ankle and sprained ligaments that are still effed up.

I had to stay off it except for trips to the bathroom/shower/eating. Gained a ton of weight, watched my hubs sleep stoned in the chair in front of tv and not help me move any of that shit around. I had to sit and look at all this moved in crap and I felt like I would go mad.

Now that I am well, suddenly as you said GWN, I felt suffocated by all the things I have that I never use. We have a fairly large house and 50% of the basement is done and 80% of the entire upstairs is done and I am just not only getting rid of the vendor mall stuff, I am getting rid of just clutter. I am organizing a lot of it on shelves so I can have a few big sales this spring. I have nice stuff and selling it on ebay seems tedious. I will have a few pop up booth sales at some local events and sell it next year. But for now its organized and I actually know where everything is.

Material stuff is nice but it doesn't give a shit about you or keep you company. It's just shit in the way and cluttering up my life.

@Gary Goodson I was at the supermarket today perusing the meat section. Cuz I like the meat. And for some odd reason decided to check out the really expensive meats that I never looked at. And found a 2lb petite filet of beef that was incorrectly priced. So I bought it. Now how in the fuck should I cook it?

I'm not Gar but I'd simply salt and pepper it and put it under the broiler. Depends on how thick for how long. If it's very thick turn the oven on to about 500 and finish it. I like mine still mooing

I could be wrong ... but "petite filet" is from the chuck and is not named for tenderness, but shape. However you prepare it, I hope you'll tell us how it turned out. I find the "petite filet" name misleading. Was it like $6 a pound?

Well Jesus dick hole, we got a lot of good cooks around here. They’re all pretty much right. Petite steaks aren’t the most tender so rare to medium rare is as far as you want to take it. You can broil as Annie said or do a quick pan roast. Get a ripping hot cast iron pan, add a high temp oil and sear it really fast on one side(1-2 minutes). Flip it and add butter, garlic, and rosemary. Same thing 1-2 minutes and baste it while you’re waiting. Then into a 400-425 degree oven for about 5 minutes. Or until the internal temp reaches about 120f-125f. Then let it rest for at least 5 minutes.


And now I’m hungry

@shrxhky420 - always a pleasure to see you my friend and as always I have to say "GO PREDATORS"

@neosapien I preheat the oven to 425, heat an iron skillet on the stove on med high with about a tablespoon of olive oil, brush some olive oil on the steak, salt, pepper and steak seasoning, place in hot skillet on stove for 2 mins on each side. Put a few small pieces of butter on steak and place the skillet in the oven for 7-10 mins depending on how you prefer yours cooked. 8 mins is good for me because I like med rare. Let steak rest 5 mins to retain its juices.

Cooking it on the stove in the pan first sears the outside and gives it that good steak brownish crust on the outside.

All meats that I bake in the oven I always sear the outside first. Pork loin, roasts, etc.

For tougher cuts or thinner steaks like for fajitas, I sear in the skillet for 4 mins on one side and 3 on the other then let it rest covered in aluminum foil 5 mins, then slice against the grain.

Unpacking Christmas stuff and actually decorating a little. Some years I am not really into it since there is always just 2 of us here for every event, birthdays or holidays. But it seems to lighten my spirit seeing it all arranged here.

As always I rock the house with my favorite Marcus King Band albums while still cleaning and discarding unwanted items!

PS Gary just typed the same thing at the same time

now you ******* made me hungry.....damnit.......

My favorite ways to cook steaks

Grilling, obviously. Nothing better than a nicely grilled steak with all that Smokey goodness.

Broiling. Next best thing to grilling and the bad ass thing is it will look like you grilled it.

Pan roasting. A little bit more work, but it can yield a very tender and extremely flavorful steak.

But my all time favorite is sous vide. It’s a bit time consuming but, you can literally get a perfect steak at whatever temp you prefer. Two days ago I sous vide an eye of round roast for 3 hours. Which is another cut that isn’t known for being the most tender. Then I butter basted with garlic and rosemary. Holy fuck! It came out perfect and juicy. Reminded me of prime rib it was so tender.

 

[2rollingstoned]

I am interested in sous vide but always wondered how much better it could be than searing a roast in the frying pan then cooking it 2.5 hours in my old school roasting pan with lid. So it just cooks in a plastic bag in a water bath?

This makes me want to make pot roast with carrots and potatoes this week LOL

My favorite way to cook steak is grilled, next is with on the stove searing/pan in the oven/ or searing it entirely in a pan on the stove while basting constantly with butter.

I love to cook and it seems you do as well Gary!
