It's an amazing day in an amazing year...
Tough nt to talk about it...

Very tru DMC, seems we all know the rules and play by them accordingly

dont post often????

dude, its your second post. I think you have to earn your keep a little more then that before you come in here, clear your throat, step on your soap box and mount your high horse.

get a grip.

times 2

blah blah blah......

Re - the F - lax....

times 2

Wow, what a welcoming crowd! I couldn't care less about the election, which is why I was anxious to get away from the news and check out alpine zone, but it looks like you guys spilled politics on my skiing. I also wonder if a GOP talking point post would have made it through the moderation process.

Also when you live in Delaware you can't eat breakfast before you leave for the mountain, because everything is so far away that you'll need another meal when you get there.

Wow..you live in Delaware..maybe you can ski Blue mountain sometime..

Back on the food topic

In general I've found working in my current position has led me to being much more resourceful in general with food and try to use either a whole animal or muscle when I can. I think about 'food' differently.

Instead of just buying boneless breasts of chicken, I'll buy a whole five pound bird and be able to have chicken breast for dinner for J and I, be able to make 6-10 servings of soup and enough scrap for many philly chicken sandwiches for essentially the same amount of money.

With Beef or Pork, instead buying just steaks or pork chops, I'll buy a whole Strip loin or Pork Loin for much less per pound, butcher it myself into many meals and use the scrap for burritos. What I'd really like to do though is get a grinder/sausage stuffer and start making my own sausage.

I'm intrigued by fish, but haven't worked much with butchering whole fish. Then again many kinds of fish are far too large for working with whole at home. Lobsters now I always save the bodies and make stock for soups and sauces.

Only real issue is I obviously end up having to freeze a lot of stuff when fresh is always better. I suppose that will become less of an issue when J and I have kids.


Wow...your post is making me hungry..buying a whole chicken is alot of work though..when you just want to eat a chicken breast..I pretty much buy food one meal at a time..

....and decriminalized in MA....by a 2 to 1 vote

woo hoo..

Yep we do respect one another 'cept of course for BUMP skiers :stirpot:

Darn crusty New Englanders and their pancakes that need pure maple syrup..what a bunch of purists..and is it just me or are Northeast skiers and riders a frugal bunch..I'm not criticizing because I can sometimes be cheap but it's just an observation.

Yep! "jha ma pel" is the only word in French I really know. It's a very versitile word as well.

"I'll just "jha ma pel" the car right here."

"Sure, I'll "jha ma pel" another beer."

"It'll be good to see your relatives from Canada...I always enjoy "jha ma pelling" with them. They think my French is aweseome."

:lol:
