I'm impressed that you've tried all those. (Except, I assume, #7.)

Re: The Random Rankings Thread
It's a side effect of being on the keto diet and having a wife who has a peanut sensitivity.
I make my own walnut, pecan, macadamia and cashew butter. It's very easy and much cheaper than buying them off the shelf. Just roast the nuts at 350 for 8-12 minutes and then put them in a food processor. Process for a minute, then use a spatula to wipe down the sides of the bowl. Repeat until it turns into the desired consistency, which usually is five or six turns. You might need to add a little oil to the macadamia nut butter, but the others don't require any added oil. You can add salt and other flavorings (sugar, cocoa powder, etc.) to taste.
THERE’S NOTHING WRONG WITH GALA LUNCHEONS, LAD!
Re: The Random Rankings Thread
Hey, I'm going to try that. (Especially pecan butter - I love pecans.) I already make my own peanut butter fairly regularly. Although from the looks of things it is less healthy than your recipes. I throw a package of Trader Joe's roasted salted peanuts, a fair bit of peanut oil, and some honey in the food processor, then blend like hell to get it a creamy as possible.Sabo wrote: ↑Fri Mar 29, 2019 11:19 amIt's a side effect of being on the keto diet and having a wife who has a peanut sensitivity.

Re: The Random Rankings Thread
I like hitting up the smokies, but yeah, as a National Park it's not much. BEtter if you're super into hiking I guess.
You know what you need? A lyrical sucker punch to the face.
Re: The Random Rankings Thread
If you'd go hiking off the beaten path and get into one of those groves of multiple enormous Sequoia trees, I bet you'd move that park up higher on the list.

This is what I wanted. Was looking for “lists” not “rankings”. Duh.
Anyway, fun weekend for this shit on SXM. I already bitched about the Zeppelin one. Beatles channel is doing their fourth annual one but the most interesting aspect of that will be if
80s on 80 has been doing a top 1000 split into a top 100 for each year. 1984 fucking banged.

I like to think that McCartney dragged Stevie Wonder into the schlock hole.

Yep.
Close contact with McCartney ruined Stevie for many, many years.

I never really liked him until "Tropic Thunder."
And if you get a chance to see the movie "Bernie" - based on a bizarre true story - he is excellent in that.

Re: The Random Rankings Thread
The first time I remember seeing him was in Bob Roberts and he was creepy AF. I guess I haven't rewatched that movie since HS poly sci, so who knows how it aged, but my guess is that his performance still works.

Re: The Random Rankings Thread
Lasting RDP memory:
When Johnson closed in on the lefthanded DiPietro, he was ready. In fact, he made up his mind to open with a surprise left of his own.
An incredulous DiPietro was still flat on his back when he pointed up at Johnson: "Are you a lefty?" Both men knew that damage had been done, each having experienced polar vantages of a face giving way. Johnson shook his head and patted DiPietro twice on the stomach. "F-- ," DiPietro said then, before he missed six weeks of hockey waiting for his fractures to heal. "Just one of those things," Johnson says today. It was just one punch out of the thousands thrown that season, in 645 NHL fights. It was just one more collision in a sport and a universe that sees millions of them.

It’s also about the beauty of Mike Mills playing the in-house piano at Miami’s Criteria Studios — the same one used for the coda of “Layla”
