who do you have beef with? get it done. have it out.

but you don't eat no meat

in theory yeah

The only dead steer worth eating, culinarily, is pho

pho christ's sake bonnie

you make a compelling point

I feel like it's the only thing I'd miss pho real

UGH OK I NEED TO DO IT. Fuck you smashingjj. I hate you for being so beautiful and wonderful. That's right I called you out.

orlando had good pho

the asian food here is subpar.

Mike and I are starting a more upscale joint called Pho Art.

where are you now, jonbon (jobi)?

colorado

nvm personal info

Oh nvm

legal weed is weird. my awareness of nearby cop cars has plummeted.

colorado

when did you move to colorado? tim and i are going there later this month to visit his brother.

last summer. like a month after pulse. i maxed out my student loans and failed a shitload of classes, and got downsized from my job, so i went to the state with legal weed and a crazy low unemployment rate.

yeah but do you like it (living in CO)? and does it (weeds) being legal make it not as much fun?

Nice Tri-tip beaten to a pulp and poked with a fork until there's hundreds of little holes for each slice. Marinade in a special sauce which would contain, among other things; cherry tomatoes, a wee bit of worcestershire sauce, a bunch of sauce soy, a bit of salt, a fair amount of pepper, add some cilantro and let the meat sit in there for at least 4 to 6 hours.

It was a friend's secret recipe and that's all I can remember from watching him several times. He knew we would watch and would be all stealthy with his ingredients; literally hiding some spices in his pockets and quickly dashing things around when we were distracted for a moment. He was an artist about it all and to this day easily the best tri-tip or any meat i've ever had.

i do like it here, though i have only florida to compare it to. i worked outdoors during my first winter here and i was surprised at how fast i acclimated. my gringo ass was made for this weather.

weed is just as fun though a lot of people are now openly judgemental about it.

1/2 of the beefs have gone with Trots

UGH OK I NEED TO DO IT. Fuck you smashingjj. I hate you for being so beautiful and wonderful. That's right I called you out.

I get that a lot. I understand it. If you want to know more, read all about it in my autobiography "Being perfect. Being smashingjj"

As a slav I have many beefs, mainly with the citizens of Liechtenburg.

Also any and all who give me neg rep. May Baphomet rot your souls!

i have beef with Foolofatook for never hanging out with me and moving far away

I'd have beef with just about anyone here. Unless they order a vegan dish.

what if you could grow beef muscle in a lab. is it safe for vegetarians?

No beef here; the steaks are pretty low these days.

We do have to cut fuzzy some flank though. He can't help his condition.

On the rare occasion he makes a decent post, we should say "well done."

I mean, do we have to grill him all the time? Maybe someday we'll get him to flip over.

Just let that thought marinate for a bit.

We should also wait at least five minutes before cutting into him. That way all the juices don't bust out immediately.

I heard his job is going to start garnishing his wages.

Sorry, I don't mean to rib or roast anyone.

But he is a Rump supporter.

Flaming globes had an amazing run of posts up there. Hella wit up in that bitch. And all you guys can talk about is old breeg pics?

I bleed for you flaming globes. Like Thoreau, your genius will remain unappreciated until you die a lonely death, dead broke (like thoreau).

I drank less of you and gave it up

There were seasons where I would be like "I haven't gone a night without drinking in months."

Now I'll have a beer one or two nights a week. Getting old is fucking boring. Baphomet take me now.

His name is Joey Santiago, motherfucker. You best show some respekt when mentioning the immortal pixies lead guitar.

listens to Vamos and drools

Discuss.

I'd actually be obliged to agree.

Black Francis is a good choice for that other thread on the SP forum though. Once he left the Pixies his solo stuff wasn't nearly as good. I found Teenager of The Year on cassette tape at Value Village... jackpot baby.

those aren't exactly new but you're impressing fuzzy and poots with those pictures, for sure.

awesome I am so curious what experiences people have there. I want to go back there so badly. safe travel.

WIN! drool. ah can you describe what it tasted like? The whole experience?

sure -- and you've spent a good amount of time in japan right? so you probably know all of the things i'll refer to..

this will be mostly stream of consciousness, here we go. it was a spot pretty close to Ebisu station. took JR from the chiyoda part of tokyo where our hotel was and once at Ebisu, crossed the main street and within a few blocks it was very tight, small side streets.

half a block away you could smell meat, it was a warm evening without very much breeze.

we pushed aside the curtains in the entrance and a girl greeted us. i told her my name for the reservation, which ended up not being necessary because at the time we were the only ones there. it was a tuesday, 7pm, i'd like to think that place would be slammed later in the week and on the weekend

she had limited english but made it clear we should take our shoes off and we put them in a cabinet that was in the small room we had to ourselves, you know the type where the table is roughly at floor level, and there's a lower, submerged area you sit in. the girl had retrieved an english copy of their menu and pointed out the button we could press to summon her when we needed something.

spend a good amount of time deciding with my wife what we would order. i was largely guessing, but it was pretty clear what the main, key, popular cuts were. i've had digestive issues in the past few years and have consequently avoided eating beef for the most part and had to do a little convincing to get my wife on board with ordering what i felt was the right amount. (we flew halfway around the world to be here and this is one of my anticipated highlights, this is the only night i'm going to be eating beef so no need to be concerned, etc. etc.) landed on sirloin (the thicker pieces in the picture), i believe karubi was the thinner slice next to it, and then my wife wanted to mix it up a bit and order some tongue as well.

so we hit the button, in came the girl, and we also ordered some seaweed soup and some beers. we thought the girl indicated that the soup size was small, so we each got one, but they were much larger than expected and in hindsight i wouldn't order one. we also ordered two small bowls of rice.

so then they bring out the small grill for the table, which had hot coals (from wood) in the bottom, and there's a metal ventilation tube they lower so it sits right above the grill. honestly pretty darn quiet and prevented the room from ever getting smoky. there's also a set of small tongs to use for cooking, only 1 of those

the tongue meat actually came out first, and it there was a little bit of confusion on our part. she had a plate with several thin slices of meat, salt and pepper and maybe a touch of oil on top, and then a small round side dish with something that appeared to be mostly fat, but was shaped kind of like a tongue. so we sort of assumed the weird white fat thing was the tongue, and the thin round slices were the karubi.

i put some of the slices on the grill and they cooked super quickly, put it on the rice quickly so the juices would go in there, and ate one. honestly it was nice but i was not blown away by any means and therefore quickly realized this was the tongue meat, the fatty thing was probably related to the tongue, but certainly not the karubi.

shortly thereafter the sirloin and the karubi came out together, i was kind of floored at how awesome it looked. just ridiculous marbling, you can see it in the picture, it's perfect. the sirloin and the karubi had some salt and pepper seasoning the top of them, on also on the tray were some raw shishito peppers and some mini corn as well.

put the shishito peppers on, they blistered pretty quickly, mine ended up being a touch spicy, my wife's wasn't. ate some more of the tongue. and then put on two pieces of karubi. cooked fast, but slower than the tongue because it was thicker. set it quickly on the rice so some of the fat could run into it.

i can't do any justice to how it tasted man. it was something i had been anticipating and looking forward to for years. [for me a similar but less intense experience was, having taken spanish classes from 9th grade through a minor in college, always reading about the thick cups of 'hot chocolate' you can get in spain, and then finally at age 25 sitting by myself at a cafe in barcelona and taking my first sip of the thick, rich, chocolate]

this was a "close your eyes" kind of moment, just trying to keep all your senses tuned in so you can experience it fully. incredibly well marbled, so tender and juicy, just the most incredible and exciting flavor. i can't really do it justice, but it was special.

and then the sirloin was more of a rectangular cube shape, and required more attentive cooking as you had to rotate it so it would cook evenly, and there was a little experimentation required to make sure to get it right. i was inclined to undercook it of course, and so my wife put her first piece back on the grill for another moment. this one as well man, impossible for me to convey how awesome it w as. it had been on the grill longer, so the outside had a very slight hint of crust formed on it. a thicker piece, but the act of chewing is less about cutting through meat, as it's so damn soft and tender, it's more about fully experiencing the flavor.

decided to knock out the rest of the tongue meat because it did not deserve to sit in the presence of the other two. enjoyed some beer, enjoyed some of the soup which in another context would have been real nice but was more of a distraction in this setting, and then set back into the main event.

my wife asked which i would want more of if i were re-ordering, sirloin or karubi.. i said i needed to cook some more slices to decide. did just that, enjoyed the heck out of it. initially i was leaning toward reordering the sirloin, because it's just so boss, but i came to the conclusion that i would actually do karubi. it was faster and simpler to cook, and was so incredibly delicious that you could focus more on it than on judging whether you had cooked it properly.

i was just so pumped up by the whole experience. if i could re-do it, i would go with one sirloin, 2 karubi, 2 rices, no soup, and no tongue. i don't remember the cost of the meal but i remember walking away feeling like i would have happily paid more.

here's another picture. the slices of tongue are visible in the middle of the table, the sirloin and karubi are behind my beer glass (but visible in that earlier photo)
