,

It’s been a busy weekend on the Beerguy front. I turned 51,

we had the extended family over for dinner,

and my brother even popped in for a short visit.

I had such a nice time I even broke out the good whisky from last summer’s trip to Scotland.

And the best part was that WineWife made my favourite dessert & I didn’t let anybody take extras home. “Take all the pulled pork you want, but IT’S MY PARTY AND MY CAKE!!!”

“See you at Christmas.”

Tonight’s sports:

  • MLB:
    • Dodgers at Red Sox – 7:00PM | ESPN / TSN3
  • Fútbol
    • MLS:
      • New York Red Bulls vs. New York City FC – 6:30PM | FS1 / TSN
    • Liga MX:
      • Club América vs. Tigres UANL – 9:00PM | UNI
  • NBA Summer League Basketball:
    • A semifinal – 6:00PM | ESPN2 / TSN4
    • A semifinal – 8:00PM | ESPN2 / TSN4
  • World Series of Poker:
    • 2019 Main Event Final Table – 10:00PM | ESPN2 / TSN2
  • WNBA Basketball:
    • Phoenix at Minnesota – 7:00PM | Sportsnet1

Sorry I didn’t let anyone in on it, but I just wanted to keep things quiet. I can’t justify making every year a big deal.

I wish I still had the stack of cassette tapes that I recorded off KMET and KLSX in LA, when I was a chubby unpopular lad listening to Dr. Demento every Sunday.

Holy shit this chili is good.

It has to sit in the refrigerator overnight to finish, and then be re-heated on the stove (not the microwave) and served with a huge pile of cocaine.

4
yeah right

Next day chili is best chili.

1
Brick Meathook

It isn’t real chili until it’s been refrigerated overnight.

1
Mr. Ayo

I’ll take 2 piles of cocaine. Hold the garlicless chili. Thanks.

3
Brick Meathook

I’m only going to let you look at the chili.

He’s has two piles of cocaine; he’ll do what he wants.

I drank approximately 130% of the vodka I planned. But there is still time.

When my son’s 14-U team played for the LL District championship against the team that had beat them the year before for the regular LL District championship did I lay Jules’s “And you will know my name is the Lord” speech on them? Yes. Yes I did.

And we kicked the shit out of them.

Here’s the pre-game shot of all the ingredients on the “Five Dollar Chili” that is currently simmering here in my command center. It smells pretty good.

Notice that I chose to use generic “blue-collar” ingredients to add to the chili’s authenticity.

But if you look at the stew meat packaging, you see that it cost five dollars, as did the package beneath it. Well! This is actually twelve dollar chili!

I spoke with my mother on the phone about this, and she said I should have used chuck which costs less than that, and she also said that she was ashamed of me and wished that she had had an abortion.

I wasn’t expecting that last part.

Mr. Ayo

Isn’t real garlic cheaper than that canned stuff?

Also, why do you have the same counter as yeah right?

5
Brick Meathook

Real garlic is a hassle. I’m not going to slice it with a razor like Paulie when he was in prison on a contempt charge, because Paulie had nothing but time on his hands to slice garlic with a razor.

All kitchen counters in this part of California are the same. One guy built them all. He had a very good work ethic.

“Hmmm, how can I make kitchen counters better… I know! I’ll make 10% of the surface area a miserable nightmare of perpetually stained and uncleanable grout. Genius!”

Brick Meathook

Yes but the weather is nicer here.

Jarlic does last longer though, and mostly keeps the same flavor throughout.

TRUE STORY: Julia Child once cooked for me in her home kitchen in Montecito CA and she used garlic from a jar.

3
Mr. Ayo

WTF. I just tossed out all DVDs with her.

0
SonOfSpam

I still have, uh, that one DVD of her…

Yeah, it’s what you think.

1
Mr. Ayo

She did a cooking show? With fake garlic? Wild.

0
Brick Meathook

It’s real garlic, straight out of the soil of Gilroy California. Those cloves you see at your “grocery store”? Those have been sitting in trucks for weeks, and are probably from China.

2
Mr. Ayo

Was real garlic you mean.

Brick Meathook

I will sell you a small sample of this outstanding chili. Fitty bucks.

That might be my all-time favorite thing Akroyd ever did. Rumor was that Julia loved it. “Oh I’ve cut the dickens out of my finger!”

“Finished”

Your mom wished she had “finished” that abortion.

3
Brick Meathook

I think you’re right. I still have a small piece of coat hanger lodged in my jaw.

5
herodotus450

Yeah right would take that coat hanger and cane you silly for using pre-ground black pepper.

4
Brick Meathook

I did that on purpose! I have a kick-ass pepper grinder loaded with quality fresh peppercorns, but I opted for the canned ground pepper instead. It was an artistic choice and I stand by it fully. On hard boiled eggs I will only use canned ground pepper, because that’s what belongs on them and makes them great.

2
Brick Meathook

I really should have used pepper that comes in little paper packets.

3
yeah right

Oh goddamnit.

1
yeah right

Agree with Mom.
Should have used chuck.

ballsofsteelandfury

Knorr is the secret to all good things.

1
yeah right

Knorr is a bullion cube.

Just like Lipton soup mix.

2
Brick Meathook

The workingman’s beef stock. I think my Knorr beef bouillon cubes were fifteen years old. Did they work? YOU BET.

1
yeah right

They could survive a nuclear winter.

That’s a pretty solid selling point.

Boil Knorr with your man or ox bones!
Make a roux.

2
Brick Meathook

Also Lipton Onion Soup mix is a crazy secret ingredient to fancier dishes, and all you have to do is open the packet. That’s Apollo XI shit right there.

So is Jimmy Dean sausage.

I don’t know anyone firsthand (who will talk of it) but abortions don’t seem pleasant.

So I’m about an hour into a three hour chili simmer, and my household is fragrant with spices slowly maturing. The aroma right now is much different than an hour ago. Similar, but better.

2
Rikki-Tikki-Deadly

And way better than the time you tried to make hooker stew.

yeah right

One of the many reasons why I prefer the slow cook method versus the Instant Pot version is the hours of aroma. Plus you can season as you go. But that incredible smell that you’ve endured for 3 hours sure as shit makes the final dish almost irresistible.

My old carniceria in Carson shuttered their doors but I had tried another place much closer to home and 2 frightful freeway interchanges fewer. It’s in Hawthorne on Marine. It’s definitely ghetto but they have the full service shit with a grill, hot food, butcher counter and a panaderia.
That’s my new place and it’s rock fucking solid.

Damn good to be home.

Reddit is generally regarded as a cesspool of racism and hate and that’s mostly accurate but every once in a while wading through all that becomes worth it when you run into a thread about how Ryan Leaf is making a comeback as an analyst for ESPN and there’s a guy there talking about how despite the scandal it’s actually really inspiring the way Ryan won all those medals swimming for the USA in the Olympics.

Apparently my policy of total warfare against insects in my garden has resulted in poor pollination of my zuchinni plants! This means I will have to hand-pollinate them. I expect this to go well, because I have a lot of practice using my hand as a replacement for natural fertilization processes.

I don’t think your neighbors will appreciate you jerking off in your garden.

They won’t know about it because it’s fenced in! I’ve gone out there naked before with zero fear.

Not that I’m particularly afraid of being seen naked. I am 100% on board with the MeToo movement but if streaking ever comes under fire I will declare that things have gone too far.

For me, streaking died the day I discovered dark colored underwear.

With all your funny comments, I’ll share a honest funny moment:

When I was 8 years old, my mom and I were at a department store when we saw a shirt that had a vacuum and a fan on it. The vacuum told the fan “Blow me.” and the fan told the vacuum “Suck me.” I saw the shirt and laughed. My mom, aghast at my laughing at the dirty jokes, dragged me out of the store.

At home, my now frazzled mom said, “Redshirt, where did you learn about the meaning of that shirt?” I replied, “A vacuum sucks and a fan blows.” My mom relaxes, content that I didn’t know the dirty jokes behind the shirt. Which of course shortly led to…

“What did the shirt mean, Mom?”

I have never seen my mother so aghast as when my brother and I started calling each other “dildos”.

I went and got my niece today and brought her here to stay for a couple of days. I didn’t want Mom to have to feel like she had to cook, so I asked niece and Mom what they wanted to eat, I’ll go get it. It took a couple hours for them to decide, because they’re females. But off I go to two different fast food drive thru’s.

Both of them screwed up the orders. At the KFC/Taco Bell (and btw why combine those two into one location to begin with??????) they put taco bell in the bag instead of KFC.

At the Hardee’s (wtf I wanted hardee’s I have no freaking clue), they gave me only one burger, put the wrong stuff on it, and no fries.
