    Movies you've seen recently and have enjoyed?

    Been looking for some non-traditional Christmas movies for me and the wife to watch. We still take in the classics like Home Alone, Christmas Vacation, Elf, Wonderful Life, Bad Santa, Die Hard etc but always wanting to see new ones too. Recently I really liked Violent Night and Fatman, but...

    Costco

    Also I'll say it sucks to live in a city without a Costco but a Sam's ... it just isn't the same!

    Costco

    I tried the 3-2-1 method on ribs one time and they came out severely over cooked and that was keeping the smoke around 240. I usually skip the middle 2 hour step and just keep them unwrapped on the smoke.

    OT It's Official: Netflix to Acquire Warner Bros. in Deal Valued at $82.7 Billion

    Welcome to no more HBO level quality programming and a more expensive Netflix! Netflix use to try and put out quality material until they realized they could put out dreck and people would still watch it, why would they make a show like Sopranos, The Wire, Game of Thrones, House of the Dragon etc.

    Pretty sure I've forgotten more about the NBA and hoops than you'll ever know!

    OT Type 2 Diabetes

    For the last 15 years I've worked at KGNS, the NBC station down on the border in Laredo, TX with the vast majority of that time as the Sports Director, coming out on air in our 6pm and 10pm newscasts. We of course do a TON of local coverage, mainly high school and some low level 'pro' sports...

    OT Type 2 Diabetes

    Yea my sleep schedule sucks, by the time I get home and unwind a little, it's already 12ish (sometimes later) and the wifes alarm goes off at 5:30 most mornings, I'll stay in bed until 7ish, so a GOOD night is 7 hours. I know it's not good but trade off for getting the chance to still do...

    Oregon State Beavers 2025

    Not a single one I've talked to wants him back ... bridges burned take time to rebuild, maybe at some point the mood on him will shift but don't see it happening any time soon.

    OT Type 2 Diabetes

    Love that you shared all this as it's something a lot of us deal with. I've always been a big guy, big shoulders and chest, carry my weight all through my body not just my gut, so I've always weighed more than it looked like. A few years a go my XL shirts stopped fitting but figured it wasn't...

    OT Battle Of The Pizza

    Ah yes ... Blind Onion is delicious too! My family is split on Blind Onion and Julianos so usually one night between Christmas and New Years we just get one from each and everyone gets their way for a pizza night! Not sure if they still do, but I know at one point BO would get their dough...

    OT What's Cookin'?

    Those look amazing! Yea 50 people, two oven baked turkeys, a smoked one, a fried one and a spiral cut ham but still no leftovers. Granted down here in the hispanic culture (or maybe just my wifes) it's a day that starts with lunch at 1 and people are still there until 2 or 3 am, so an all day...

    OT Battle Of The Pizza

    Round Table was always a rock solid choice, as kids me and my sister would just order their bread sticks to get delivered during the summer when we were home alone. One of my best friends worked there during college and would use their bread sticks as the base for pizza instead of the regular...

    OT Battle Of The Pizza

    I'll give a little love to Juliano's in Vancouver as my all time favorite pizza and a place I have to go to anytime I come home. Flying Pie is awesome as well, with Papa Murphys an always solid choice. Of the mega chains I'd lean to Dominos, and when they are running 1/2 off pizza like they are...

    OT What's Cookin'?

    Nobody added any Thanksgiving stuff here? Did a smoked turkey, (still don't understand how anyone likes oven roasted turkey), Mac and Cheese with only the finest cheddar cheese available (Cougar Gold) and worked up a cornbread/cream corn dish with some hot honey and bacon. Everything was gone...
