RAVE: drunkpacking

[go birds]

man i hate packing so i just get hammered while doing it

its great because i typically dont remember what i pack so it's usually a nice little surprise when i reach my destination and open my suitcase

like the one time when i packed a scream mask and a playstation 3 controller for some reason....that was pretty cool when i found thosr things

altho on the same trip i forgot to pack underwear which sucked

i think i need a life coach

I think we had a thread about drunk ordering things online.

You get something in the mail as a gift from your drunk self. Drunk doc got me some gifts that showed up yesterday.

3 pair of yoga pants and a sweater. I opened them and was like YUCK!


Tried them on and was like "Yeah!"

Drunk me knows me better than sober me.

Drunk me ordered and Opti-Grill a couple of months ago thinking it sounded awesome. Of course it wasn't available right away so it didn't show up until last month. Basically I paid $180 for what amounts to a really big and fancy George Foreman with a big multi-color LED and beeps.

After using it a few times, however, I am glad that I did. The thing is awesome. The price is still a bit high and sober me would never make the purchase but I'm glad that I have it. I can walk in from work and be eating a perfectly cooked steak in less than 20 minutes.

I've been amazed at how good a $4 chunk of cheap beef from Save-A-Lot can be on that thing when seasoned well. I could never get a cheap cut to taste that well on my own and this thing basically makes it hands free and beeps when it is done. I haven't put a really nice cut of meat on it yet but am planning on doing that soon. With the results that I've gotten from cheap cuts, I'm pretty sure I'll really enjoy a good cut of beef on there. It even makes those vacuum packed, bacon wrapped 'beef fillets' (with up to 20% water/salt/seasoning) come out really, really good.

Still not a substitute for a real charcoal grill by any means (nothing is) but considering my current apartment situation (second floor, no balcony, alley in the back with parking... last grill stolen)... I love it.

I cooked a porterhouse on a $20 iron skillet the other day (used some fresh herbs, garlic and basted it with butter) that kicked the [expletive] out of any open flame steak I've ever had. Same deal with burgers on that thing. Sits there getting a nice sear, cooking in its fat without losing everything to the open grates.

Did you make a pan sauce?

Problem with the cast iron skillet in that case is when you do make your pan sauce it picks up an iron taste to me. Maybe that's only if the skillet isn't perfectly seasoned.

I have actually been wanting to get a decent cast iron skillet and had no interest in the fancy gadget. I just haven't gotten around to picking one up. The last time I was at Target I wanted to buy one but couldn't find a cast iron skillet anywhere. I'm not one for making special trips anywhere though. Kind of lazy.

Drunk me is barely ambitious enough to order things online though. At least it seems that way. I don't remember placing the order in the first place.
