I only learned last week that album #2 (Organisation) was named in homage to the band Organisation which became Kraftwerk. Never put that together previously.

I'd have to double check to confirm, but I think this is the only OMD that's made my iPod:




Played my first round of golf on Friday afternoon in 7 months. Last time out I shot my worst round since my illustrious return a few years ago, a whopping 110.

Shot an 87 on Friday, beating my best by two strokes since my return. Lol. Corona rules (raised cup, if you hear a "tink" you're good) so two debatable ones, but still.

Have not watched, or even heard of previously. Peter Jackson is well known as a WWI buff, though, so I'm not surprised he did such a project. Look forward to checking it out.

You can think that, but since you are unable to Say Anything bad about Morrissey, when Judgment Night arrives you'll see you're not correct.

Pretty happy with my sauces. Just bottled stuff, but they were all good. Did a sweet and spicy mango, a caribean jerk, and a chipotle. El Yucateco chipotle sauce is amazing. After extensive testing of every chipotle sauce I could find, I now order this one by the case. The mango and caribean jerk sauces were just store brands, but quite good. Trader Joe's and (believe it or not) Walmart, respectively.
Light braise or parboil and finish on the grill for easy wings.

But yeah... air fryer is the better long term solution.

Glad (by which I mean terrified) to know you're still fantasizing about me.

But yeah I cackled a little.

I'm not a huge fan of grilled wings. Want that crispy deep fat fried experience.

Yeah, obviously not the same thing... but a pretty good substitute that doesn't fowl up the kitchen...

Spoiler:
heh...


If you have a shallow cast iron dutch oven or deep fry pan and a sidecar burner on your grill, you can do the frying outside too. Really need it to be cast iron tho to keep the heat high as my experience is that sidecar burners are fairly weak.

Good idea. I'd thought of the sidecar burner and thought it might be too weak, but using the cast iron might just do the job.

Sure, then throw them back on the grill after tossing in sauce.

It was written for the Pretty In Pink soundtrack in 86
Having just watched that movie, I noticed there was excellent song selection at the end of each of the John Hughes teen angst movies (Pretty in Pink, Breakfast Club, 16 Candles, Ferris Bueller) which helped convey whatever feelings he wanted the moviegoer to leave the theater with.

I'm kind of partial to the Pretty Woman and Conan the Barbarian soundtracks myself.

On a nearly related noted, I would like to nominate this for best song/worst movie:

It happened a 2nd time with my general Tso's cauliflower. I now have one Tupperware of seasoned vegetables that disintegrate upon contact with a plastic spoon. And 1 one container of fried batter that separated upon contact with the pan.
