Weekly Contest #48 - Win a $10 Gift Certificate

chat? I didn't start this one with a number! I pat myself on the back for remembering this time.

It sure is quiet in here. Thanks again for the RTS hoopla guys, seriously. I put some cash in the bank account reserved for online purchases today for non-vape related items. I'm glad I checked ECF and this thread before blowing my money on lawnmower parts. Vapocalypse averted, by 2 more years. Take that, PTB!


Edit: PTB = Powers That Be. No rain = no mowing. All is well on my homefront.

JPF, I'm sorry to hear that your wife is back to the hospital :/ Emergency room, hospital, emergency room, care facility, and back to the emergency room... it makes my head spin Stay strong, JPF <3 Both of you, stay strong.

In other news, I just took Emmy for a walk and a group of kids was in the yard of a rental property across from my complex. I didn't think much of it until one vavoso shot off a rifle/22 and then set fire to his yard... I took Emmy back into the complex dragging her the entire way and then came out another area. Ran into a group of kids coming up the side walk and told them to get on the other sidewalk and avoid that house... then a guy came out and asked where the shot came from and told him where, then I said, 'this guy, perhaps the shooter jumped in a car and drove off', he asked if it was the jeep and I agreed. He got on his phone and lo and behold, he is a cop recently transferred to our city... so, I gave him the license plate of the jeep, which I had been repeating to myself over and over again :/ I live right in the center of a huge grouping of apartments, condos, and rental houses that butts up against the university, so kids walking home or riding bikes from a string of bars or straight from the university. Anyway, this is the first mess I have seen, except for the *&$ sellers that roll in and roll out, politely waving or looking for people - which I will admit haven't been around since the popos sat in a car in the back parking lot from 2AM - about 6AM ^.^

I have chicken thawing, pork to debone, clothes to wash, and a night ahead of me... I don't even know what to cook, but some of the chicken has to be lightly seasoned for Emmy LOL

#2 I am attempting to catch up with the thread before it hits midnight here and our beloved contest ends for another week. Hoping to get back into the swing of things, get my house more organized after the move, mix some juices, and find time to learn how to wrap a coil. The owner of my favorite local b&m offered to give me some wick and wire and a lesson in coiling on Monday. I'm excited!

BUMP for Tish -

I made some potato, spinach, & leek soup earlier today... I think I will be making tamales this weekend with the pork. Tommy has decided to spend the weekend here instead of heading to the GFs, so I may as well make them since he's been asking for them LOL

 

[Schnarph]

Bump for Tish.

Been there, done that Lisa. Sometimes it's nice to have local officers in the hood. I wish I had one around, my neighbors are much scarier than yours.

CHAT -

Deboned the monster pork shank :/ Hellovalotta BONE/FAT and 1/4 of the meat. I decided to put a pot of PORK & BEANS in the pressure cooker LOL I am a big time pinto bean cooker, I'll throw in other beans from time to time, but pintos are prime for my family. I like canned pork and beans, like a comfort food, ranch style beans are not very good to me, but a favorite with Tommy, so I am doing a cross between pork & beans with brown sugar and ranch style with the pork and seasonings.

The meat I took of the shank is waiting for a decision... will I put it in tamales or just leave it to be reheated with a meal :/

On this show, 'Chopped' I saw them use dragon fruit and I was think, ohhh, I know that flavor LOL Now they are using Lychee and again I have only had that in vape

Aren''t ranch beans made from red beans? My uncle, a

TeX/mex cook made the BEST ranch beans!!!

Yes, they are large red beans =] Too BBQy for me though

 

[lisancentraltx]

Dreaded double post :/

 

[Tish Talons]

I don't think double posts matter when the contest is over.

 

[Schnarph]

Double posts are annoying. I'm glad to see it wasn't just me. I prefer a scapegoat other than my computer and ISP

 

[lisancentraltx]

Caesar salad with fajita chicken!

Drink all of the coffee!

 

[glassmanoak]

Thank for the bottle info, Lisa

NP Glass =]

I just changed out my juice but kept the same carto... tobacco carto got a Pink Ice which made a nice tobacco menthol - heavy on the menthol. Another used tobacco carto got Mudslide... tastes like mud LOL I am going to vape it down and add some Chocolate Tiramisu which has been able to SAVE ANY CARP tobacco juice I have [Thanks Glass <3] Another tank has some of Chic's Ambrosia, and finally, I have my tried and true palate cleanser, Red Hot Cinnamon with a tad of Fruit Striped Gum to cut the bite.

I have to get some more of Ray's polypro tanks... I haven't been using my M3s since I've been double punching my Boge cartos [Thanks Chic <3] Needle tipped 30ml bottle coming in so I can do some basic DIY with my favorites since I have been able to make some space after PIFing some stuff =]

Uh, just loaded the pressure cooker/smoker with 'Fat .... Rubbed' chicken pieces - no more than 12 pieces or under 4 lbs with some hickory chips... the book says 3-5 hickory chips, reviews say 2-3, and I have some kind of SHREDDED hickory LMAO! ['Fat .... Rubbed' or some stupid name like that ]

SON OF A BEACH! I took out the smoked chicken from the pressure cooker/smoker and washed everything - easy as pie... then I dried the inner pot and set it in the bottom part and OMG! IS IT STUCK! The heating unit thingy isn't in the right groove, so the pot is stuck and I cannot get it out :/ 20 minutes I have been wiggling! HA! I leave it for Tommy... maybe he can figure it out bcz I don't know what else to do :/

It may already be too late:

Posted originally by owner of RTS:

Yes, the FDA has demanded our Charlotte subcontracted laboratory cease extracting nicotine for us.

 

[lisancentraltx]

Soooooo, what does this mean for us? We won't be able to get nicotine or nicotine juice BUT we can still get VG, PG, all flavorings, cartos, tanks, batteries... and non-nic juice?

HA! I got the inner pot out of the smoker/pressure cooker =] And I am going to say that I may never eat canned pork and beans again... They are one of my favorites... hot or cold, with sliced hot dogs... some kind of comfort food :'( My homemade, pressure cooked BBQ pork and beans ARE MAGNIFICENT!!!!!!!!!

 

[jpf880]

Congrats on the pork and beans Lisa!
I've gotta get ready for work and swing by the hospital on my way.


Good Luck to Everyone!

 

[lisancentraltx]

Thank you, JPF! You have a great day at work and give your wife our <3!

I've got olive oil coated eggplant, peppers, and a blooming onion ala Chic [RiverRat1] in the pressure cooker/smoker. Tommy got Harina for FLOUR tortillas instead of Masa for TAMALES LOL Then he says, 'Well, why don't you make some tortillas'? Sheesh, I am already TIRED just thinking about making tamales in a few days :/ Eh, we are almost out, so I may as well.
