Oh no.

Uh oh.
― La Lechera, Monday, 20 August 2007 19:50 (seventeen years ago)
Oh what?
― KitCat, Monday, 20 August 2007 19:53 (seventeen years ago)
Hey oh
― dan m, Monday, 20 August 2007 19:55 (seventeen years ago)
I want this to be the next brass band hit.
jaymc r u ok?
― Jordan, Monday, 20 August 2007 20:00 (seventeen years ago)
I'm fine. I was just reacting to...
reminded me of her for some reason.
― jaymc, Monday, 20 August 2007 20:01 (seventeen years ago)
Why is that "oh no"
― La Lechera, Monday, 20 August 2007 20:02 (seventeen years ago)
Never mind.
― jaymc, Monday, 20 August 2007 20:02 (seventeen years ago)
So.

Tell me about what brings you here.
I read Dara Moskewitz's steak essays this morning. Good stuff.
Oh! I had my first taste of foie gras on Saturday.
― Jordan, Monday, 20 August 2007 20:06 (seventeen years ago)
ew.
― sweet tater, Monday, 20 August 2007 20:20 (seventeen years ago)
Dara describes it as "meat-butter" and that seems pretty accurate.
― Jordan, Monday, 20 August 2007 20:21 (seventeen years ago)
double ew.
― sweet tater, Monday, 20 August 2007 20:21 (seventeen years ago)
foie gras is incredibly fantastic, amazing, and also fantastic.
― kenan, Monday, 20 August 2007 20:25 (seventeen years ago)
We had awesome foods yesterday: big ol' steaks, big big ol' baked potatoes, which I scooped out and mixed with bacon and cheese... you know, that potato bacon thing. Next time I'll cook the potatoes slower, though.
― kenan, Monday, 20 August 2007 20:26 (seventeen years ago)
You made all that?
― KitCat, Monday, 20 August 2007 20:29 (seventeen years ago)
For you and Julia?
― KitCat, Monday, 20 August 2007 20:30 (seventeen years ago)
foie gras is in the "veal" category of cruel tactics for food.
― sweet tater, Monday, 20 August 2007 20:30 (seventeen years ago)
let's no go there again
― kenan, Monday, 20 August 2007 20:32 (seventeen years ago)
steak and potato is low on labor, high on quality of ingredients -- my kinda cooking
― kenan, Monday, 20 August 2007 20:33 (seventeen years ago)
I just can't picture you eating anything besides takeout! (or s.t. her roomie makes, ha ha)
― KitCat, Monday, 20 August 2007 20:34 (seventeen years ago)
we eat takeout too often, it's true.
I also made Boca burgers... fried in bacon grease. Makes 'em so much better. :)
― kenan, Monday, 20 August 2007 20:36 (seventeen years ago)
ha ha YoU WOULD!
― KitCat, Monday, 20 August 2007 20:36 (seventeen years ago)
i'm not trying to stir shit up but i do think that there are ethical lines crossed when it comes to food within the realm of eating meat. i'm not pointing my finger at anyone here it just seems like "in this day and age" there has to be a better way to get yer foie gras off. if you know what i mean.
― sweet tater, Monday, 20 August 2007 20:37 (seventeen years ago)
you're not stirring anything up. it's just that we've been through this 10 times on 10 other threads.
― kenan, Monday, 20 August 2007 20:38 (seventeen years ago)
how do you cook your steak, kenan? is that a grill thing or a stovetop thing or . . . ? I just realized that I have no idea how one would even go about cooking steak.
― sweet tater, Monday, 20 August 2007 20:38 (seventeen years ago)
A grill would be premium, but in a plain skillet works, too. Medium-high heat, about 5-10 minutes on each side. Oooh... I should get an iron skillet. That would be better than steel and teflon.
― kenan, Monday, 20 August 2007 20:40 (seventeen years ago)
Haha, I have totally done this.
― Jordan, Monday, 20 August 2007 20:44 (seventeen years ago)
Kelsey, I had that dinner with my stepmom and it did seem vaguely weird that she doesn't eat pork, because of keeping kosher, but is cool with foie gras.
― Jordan, Monday, 20 August 2007 20:45 (seventeen years ago)
Foie gras = a whole new kind of yum. I thought I had tried it before, but indeed I had not--only pates. "Meat butter" is totally OTM. Fucking delish in taste and texture.
― Jesse, Monday, 20 August 2007 20:47 (seventeen years ago)
Foie gras is from the goose which is "clean."
That is odd, Jordan. I'm puzzled by the eating habits of others. I'm sure my own would puzzle some as well.
Too bad we're not still in Chicago, Kenan. We have three cast iron skillets & really only use one regularly. It's pretty much the ideal Kelsey cooking situation. I love being able to turn the burner on & not worry about having things start smoking like crazy. I suspect I do not really know how to cook with a non-iron skillet anymore.
― sweet tater, Monday, 20 August 2007 20:50 (seventeen years ago)
they're not expensive, are they? If they are, they shouldn't be. Simplest cookware there is.
― kenan, Monday, 20 August 2007 20:51 (seventeen years ago)
I have 3 of varying sizes and I <3 them the mostest. Wish I had a good 12-inch nonstick pan, though.
― dan m, Monday, 20 August 2007 20:52 (seventeen years ago)
I know it's technically kosher, but it still seems odd, given that kosher laws are basically about treating animals mercifully etc. (in addition to the "cleanliness" stuff).
― Jordan, Monday, 20 August 2007 20:52 (seventeen years ago)
I have good non-stick stuff, but I really need a big ol' cast-iron.
One of the things I'm most looking forward to about my impending move is cooking with a gas stove again!
― Jordan, Monday, 20 August 2007 20:53 (seventeen years ago)
Also, waaaaaaay xpost:
as far as my feminist take on superbad goes, i think jenny is spot on with a lot of what she was saying upthread. i think whenever i watch a movie like that (knocked up included), I tend to let my feminist thinking take a nap & just watch the movie & generally have a good time. i think apatow's relationship with "the vadge" is interesting & it's likely that he does fear it to a certain extent, but i wonder if it's more of the angle his movies tend to take. don't hetero dudes fear the vadge in that "what is it/i don't have one/what does one do with that thing/" kind of way? that's how i interpret the vadge fear in apatow's movies - view of inexperienced/clueless dude.
along similar lines, what really irks me are things like Zelda (which Leaf rented this weekend). The protaganist (who is you, the player) is a dude and EVERY SINGLE girl swoons over him. you score a wooden sword & the girls want you to show them how it works while they giggle over you. so irritating. who does that?
― sweet tater, Monday, 20 August 2007 20:54 (seventeen years ago)
don't hetero dudes fear the vadge in that "what is it/i don't have one/what does one do with that thing/" kind of way?
Hahahaha no. Not this one, at least.
― dan m, Monday, 20 August 2007 20:56 (seventeen years ago)

so hott
― Jordan, Monday, 20 August 2007 20:56 (seventeen years ago)
I mean before hetero dudes ever experience one. Isn't it this special thing?
― sweet tater, Monday, 20 August 2007 20:58 (seventeen years ago)
I have real problems putting feminist sensibilities to sleep, altho apparently I can kill off all the other decency and kindness sensors at a moment's notice, judging by my sense of humor and continued association with JW. But yes, I was in Seattle last week. It was...not New York. Pretty, though.
― Laurel, Monday, 20 August 2007 20:59 (seventeen years ago)
you score a wooden sword & the girls want you to show them how it works
― jaymc, Monday, 20 August 2007 21:01 (seventeen years ago)
It was...not New York.
Few places are.
I dunno... they don't actually know what to do with it, no, not even in this movie. (Well, it seems like McLovin has the best idea of all of them... or the worst.) They're virgins. They fear women, sure, but I think a virginal high school boy who is simultaneously fascinated and terrified by women falls outside the definition of "misogyny." It's more like, "boy."
― kenan, Monday, 20 August 2007 21:01 (seventeen years ago)
what was misogynistic about superbad though? i guess if i let my feminist sensibilities take a nap it was also rather easy to do so for this movie b/c it's about high school boys. i don't expect high school boys to have a developed sense of the world yet (or of themselves). i also watched it & thought that how seth & evan interacted is probably how a lot of high school boys act around each other.
― sweet tater, Monday, 20 August 2007 21:04 (seventeen years ago)
also: who is JW?
― sweet tater, Monday, 20 August 2007 21:05 (seventeen years ago)
Do women fear the wooden sword? No, they want to know how it works. Beware the silver sword, though. And the magic sword? TAKE FUCKING COVER
