Yea man if i ever make it there your going to have to ask Angie to make up some of that mac and cheese for me to "sample"

We're kinda dialing back on the carbs and fat, so she hasn't made it in quite a while. But I'm pretty sure I could talk her into making a batch for a special occasion like a fellow Beckerhead visiting. :thumbup:

BTW it doesn't travel well, ya gotta eat it fresh. So, sorry guys and gals, prolly not gonna bring Miss Angie's mac'n'cheese to the Gathering.

LMAO, good call... He is a feisty little 5 year old

Yeah, I have no idea where he might get that attitude from . Anyway, it's been a long time since I beat the snot out of a 5-yr-old who smacked me in the face. Like, 40 years. Not lookin' to do that again. No one wants that to happen.

Its been a couple days for me LOL

No but really he only punches towards the face when we are play fighting... Which we do a little of most every day.... And i wanted a son so i could have someone to play fight with thats actually smaller than me LMAO!!!!! Kind of true... Well not the being smaller than me part but i always wanted a son to teach to fight, fish, shoot, camp, etc. etc.

 

[Murphnuge]

C-bear, I'm officially envious. :thumbup:



String "cheese" is "cheese" for people who don't understand cheese.

I'm not saying it's a bad thing, I'm just saying it's not very good. At all. It's the C-rat or MRE or freeze-dried mountain-climber's meal of "cheeses"... better than starving, probably, but not actually food.

Next, someone will tell us how that spray Whiz stuff is good cheez, too. And yeah, that goes for all you East Coasters who brag about "cheese steak" sammiches that are neither cheese nor steak nor... well, food fit for civilized human beans. :barf:

I'll bring some to the gathering. Apparently the cheesehead knows nothing of this culinary masterpiece.

Cool, I'll bring you some "sauerkraut" and "bratwurst" to go with it. Cause I don't know anything about that either

What am I saying, yer a Marine... you lunatics will eat anything and pretend to like it. Raw cabbage and salted snouts it is, then...

How about Vienna "sausages"? I used to eat those as a kid, and my early years in the Army...before I knew better. I'm sure that's another food that I don't want to know what's in it. A pale imitation of a real sausage, just like most of those "cheese food products" compare to real cheese...

Hey now! Just wait a damn minute. I was with this topic about the canned yellow wax like substance sometimes called cheese jizz. And I certainly don't like any of the "processed cheese food" wrapped to look like sliced cheese. But don't you go get on your high horse about canned meats. Vienna sausages, deviled ham, etc. are great. The "what's for lunch" for hunters and fishermen everywhere. Next you'll be knocking slim Jim's, pickled eggs and sausages, and beef jerky... Heathen.

Doc

 

[daizee]

*lol*
just 'cause you like it, doesn't mean it's "good"!

i'm on board with the no-whiz and will pass on American "cheese" (oil). To be fair, I did read the ingredients in 'Whiz once, and it was surprisingly not terrifying. (bar is low)

I'm adjusting toward high protein, high fat at the moment. Not full Keto, but keeping the carb intake pretty low, and trying to burn off glucose reserves with exercise on a regular basis. I'm eating less, and not napping in the afternoons. Google "ketogenic diet" if you're feeling like an extremist.

I resent your accusations!

Pickled eggs and sausages are great bar food. I've had them many times, and would not turn them down in the future if I were to go to a bar to do my drinking.

Properly done jerky is also some good stuff.

Slim Jims on the other hand.... I used to eat them until I noticed that they taste like greasy cardboard and have about the same amount of nutrition. Once you've had a dried sausage stick from Green's Sausage House, its' difficult to choke down a Slim Jim. Imagine, if you will, a dry cured sausage stick about as thick as your thumb and 12" long. No refrigeration needed, and it actually tastes like....wait for it....meat! The flesh of a dead cow, ground up with spices, stuffed into a casing, and dry cured. Yum!

So I do approve of 3 out of 4 of your food choices.

WHAT????

A man that doesnt like slim jims????

Unheard of.

Yep, I hear ya there! I can't wait until my little guy is a little bit older to the point where he has a longer attention span and takes instruction a tiny bit better. I can't fault him, hes currently only 4. The kid drives dune buggies / snowmobiles, preforms a 5 inch grouping at about 20 yards with his .22, put a knife in his hands and he can whittle a mean stick, and preform the proper strikes for fencing (all with supervision ofcourse). Fire and survival skills will come I love teaching him _real_ skills! Now I just have to wait until son #2 can start learning

 

[granitestateofmind]

Pecorino Romano is some amazing stuff.

Only if it's made with sheep's milk. Then, I totally agree. Actually, I prefer sheep's milk cheeses, period. Saltier, for one. Manchego, REAL feta, kefalogravia.....mmmm, real cheese. I like regular cow's milk cheeses, but I LOVE me some ewe cheese. Of course, @ $10/lb. and up, I don't use it like CheeseBear does. It gets eaten straight up. No point in diluting excellent cheese with pasta.

TBL - Don't be surprised if son #2 is the opposite of #1. Kids will do that to you sometimes. My brother in law has 2 boys. #1 is a math genius and a state chess champion who hates to get dirty. #2 just wants to be outside trying to build and or break stuff all day long.

Just sayin' you gotta let show you who they are and then play at their level what ever that is.

GSOM - I totally agree! Good cheese should be eaten thinly sliced and paired with a fresh fruit or just a glass of wine. Mixing it with pasta or lesser cheese is, imo, a waste. Kinda like mixing a good white wine with sprite or 7-up - I've actually seen that done :thumbdown:

But as they say, it's still a free country - sorta - and people are still free to do what they want with their cheese. Even though it's totally not right.

As I said, once you've had a real dried sausage stick from Green's Sausage House, Slim Jims are just greasy cardboard. I can't help it that I've discovered sausage Nirvana.

I wouldnt rush it LOL

Once the diaper stage was over i was happy.... But i dont want them growing up too fast. Right now i can talk my son into going anywhere with me, no problems... The day he says he would rather play a video game with friends than hang out fishing/camping or whatever with me will be a sad sad day... For both of us because ill still be dragging his ass with me LMAO

Lets keep it PG13 bud

I'm good with that. I'll need somebody to play video games with later on if this is my couch potato / non outsidey baby.

If i paid that much for cheese it would damn sure be getting ate all by itself, and would be DINNER

See, I'll just explain it to him how camping is only a few times of the year. He can play video games the rest. That and shooting real guns is better then anything you will do in a video game I'd be happy with the balance from both children. Besides they will decide for themselves what they like when they start to grow up. I don't want that to happen too quickly, but I'll be there to help out where I can because I enjoy most sources of entertainment in life. You are correct tho, nothing beats primitive living / camping.

Very true! We always have a chunk of Pecorino Romano in the fridge. It doesn't take much of it grated with a micro-plane to really improve just about everything you cook.

Also reminds me of a funny story... Supposely, a guy (who shall remain nameless since it involves my ex-wife) had a large chunk of Parmigiano-Reggiano in the fridge when he was staying with one of his daughters. One day she announced that she had thrown out his cheese because it had gotten hard. Oooops... Hahaha... It is kinda tragic though.
