@kaeruZangyo We boil them with lots of seasoning, specific seasoning, along with other things like potatoes, whole cob corn, and smoked sausage. The culture of Louisiana is different in some ways from most of the rest of the United States, but the line blurs every day.

@kaeruZangyo Hi. I'm from South Central Louisiana. I live around where a lot of the crawfish is farmed and eaten. I've ran over live crawfish with my car on the road. It is most certainly a cultural thing. It's also a seasonal food. Crawfish boils only happen part of the year.

アメリカ人は、ほとんどザリガニ食べないらしいです。 ⠀ 情報をもらって念の為に自分でも調べました。 ⠀ 食べるのはルイジアナ州の近郊だけで ほとんどの地域では全く食べないんだって。 ⠀ 「ザリガニは食え」って何度も言うから アメリカ人は全員ザリガニ食べてると思ってた。 ⠀ 日本で言うと 「イナゴ」とか「イルカ」みたいなごく一部の地域の食文化っぽいです。

これは酷い… ⠀ 日本の水辺はアメリカのザリガニ・ウシガエルに壊された。 ⠀ 一方でアメリカの森は日本のクズでヤバいことになってる。 ⠀ もう外国の動植物を持ち込むのはやめよう。

@robertliefeld My question is would he even want it back? I would love it, but if Jim's heart isn't into it, I don't know if it would be the best thing.

Thinking on the cancelled movie for The Authority, wonder if WB would sell Wildstorm back to Jim Lee?

@CTSVtweeter81 I suppose I got a little more invested. I also had just watched Predator Badlands for the 1st time beforehand so connections were made on my end. The synths are almost always bad and are a result of human/corporate hubris.

@debertrand You're definitely correct about the synths being the actual bad guys in the series. Now that I think on it, that's not a unique take at all in the Alien universe. I guess I just had a tough time having much, if any, emotional response to anything that happened on screen.

Finished up Alien Earth this morning after the wifi petered out last night with half an episode left. Really good show that got the feel of at least the first movie down in some parts. The budget for this surprised me. It was virtually a long Aliens movie.

@CTSVtweeter81 I'm not sure if Raised By Wolves is canon in the Alien universe, but this could be the start of the war that took place in that series. My interest is piqued at least.

@CTSVtweeter81 Thinking on it more, this first season sets up the robots as a big evil that will need to be overcome. Whether one of the established characters will step up(the brother is most likely) or they bring in new characters to fight them is the question.

But just looking at ground meat like this tells you nothing of the quality of the meat. One could be leaner and you wouldn't know. Leaner with ground meat does not mean tastier. By all means, buy local, but not all grocery store ground meat is horrible.

Some places get their ground meat in tubes(called chubs) & the coarsely ground chubs if opened up will look like the one on the left. It's only after it's run through the grinder and packaged that it looks like the one on the right. This is not saying that local meat isn't better

Or if you put that ground meat on the left through a grinder a couple more times, it will look closer to the one on the right. The grain of the grinder used also is a factor. Grocery stores tend to use a finer grind head than small butcher shops.

Look at this picture for a second. Really look at it. On the left, you've got ground beef from a local farmer. On the right, the styrofoam tray version from the grocery store. Same product? But your eyes are already telling you a different story. That deep color on the left? That's beef from a cow that lived a real life. Walked around Aged pretty naturally The flecks of white you see aren't filler or fat scraps mashed together, that's a healthy animal raised the way cows are supposed to be raised. The pink (uniform texture) on the right is what happens when beef gets pumped full of oxygen and carbon monoxide to keep that "fresh rosy" look on the shelf. Yeah, really Look up "modified atmosphere packaging" sometime if you want to lose your appetite Here's the part nobody talks about. Grocery store pound of beef might come from dozens, sometimes hundreds, of different cows mixed together in massive industrial facilities. One sick animal contaminates the whole batch That's why beef recalls are always measured in tons. The farmer at your market? He can tell you the cow's name. He can tell you what pasture it grazed in. He can tell you when it was processed and by whom (daughter, son wife or himself, ). And the taste, man. You cook a burger from real farm beef and you'll realize most of your life you've been eating a product engineered to be cheap, not good. The flavor is actually beefy instead of just salty + gray. Yes, it costs more per pound. But you eat less, you support someone in your community, and you know exactly what you're putting in your body. Go to the farmers market. Meet the person who grew your food. Ask questions! Pay the extra 3-4 bucks. You'll never go back. What's the one food you've stopped buying at the grocery store once you found a better local source?

I spent my weekend house/pet sitting 100 miles from my house with not much to do but watch movies, snack, and feed animals. In total I watched 7 movies and 3 TV series on the shorter side(6-8 episodes) in 4 days, but now I'm back home.

And the last movie I watched this long weekend was "From the World of John Wick: Ballerina" which was pretty much a John Wick movie focused on someone else. If you watched any of the JW movies, you already know what this is. That said I liked the John Wick series for what it was

The use of 90's and early 2000's rock/metal songs was awesome, but I don't know how well the song choices fit the feel of the series. Still a good choice of songs in general.

Godsmack, Smashing Pumpkins, and Queens of the Stoneage to close the next three episodes. These are all shit I was jammin' back in the day. Only odd one out was Jane's Addiction and it's not like I hated them. I just didn't own a CD from them.

Fourth episode broke the streak. Not as big on Jane's Addiction.

Currently watching Alien Earth, and not going to review it yet, but it gets bonus points for using Tool Stinkfist at the end of episode 2.
