It’s Bad Boyyo…
Fudge. We lost.
Definitely feel like we’re going into some weird dark age. The cynic in me is really wanting to see them burn it all down. I really feel like it. I don’t want to.
In the long run, it will be fine. Will I be there to see it?
Stakes is High
We’re going into the most important week and the most important day of our nation. Stakes is high. I hope we don’t make the same mistake we did in 2016. I can only hope a majority of people in the few swing states choose for the better. Choose a future that is for everyone and not just one man. Choose a future that is works for the good of everyone. Choose a future of happiness and not of lameness. Stakes is high.
Beef, Leak, & Onions
This past week I had made a beef stock that made me want more. It was based off of a chicken stock I had in my freezer and a pound and a half of short ribs. They were boiled together with some onions to make a base for soups. The first was a simple vegetable soup with the beef from the short ribs, but in its final concoction after I had added the powder pack from a beef ramen package that it reached a scrumptious stock. I drank it for breakfast the other day and wanted more.
I’ve always wanted to make soups and stocks. I thought that that could be my thing as a home cook — to make good soup. I love soup, so right now I am chasing after making a decent beef stock. There’s no actual soup I am looking to make with it, but I’m chasing after the flavor of my mom’s soup. That’s were I start.
I’ve asked how she makes her beef stock. Boil the beef until all the impurities come out. Dump the water. Clean the beef. Add back to a pot. Boil again with onion until you like. Simple and easy. Right?
Here’s my try. I’m following her steps, and using leaks and onions as the aromatics. I have a 12 quart stock pot. In goes beef ribs and marrow bones with a head of onion and leaks. It’s simmering away right now. We’ll see how it goes…
The Wild Robot
Again, I forget to write up a post that I had watched The Wild Robot in theaters sometime this month. Maybe it could’ve been in September? It’s quite late to write it up, and I don’t remember what I wanted to say.
It was okay. I guess.
3 of 5 stars.
Ghost Choir
Welcome to spooky season! Music provided by Louie Zong. Thanks, man. I am no longer afraid of ghosts.
“Is this Have Your Secretary Committed Day?”
After last year’s division winning 101 win team, that 91 wins is disappointing. They should’ve also had this division, but they played lackluster ball since the All Star break, especially, the last two months of August and September. Never quite could do well and get hot. Their bats gone cold. Their pitching not up to snuff.
They danced all season with the hated Yankees and let them get ahead in the end. I wished it could’ve been another division win, but that’s how it goes.
There is the post season hosting a wild card series. Maybe this year will be different and they’ll play much, much better in October.
Maybe we won’t be disappointed with the end.
Go O’s!
“No desk, no dinner… Land of Opportunity my ass!”
Going back to my favorite topic, Nogizaka46. Here we got one of their videos on their YouTube channel — the one that shows members checking out their past costumes from their daily uniforms to their concert costumes and everything in between. It’s a nostalgia tour.
What did you find interesting? Do you want me to point out my favorites? Too bad, I’ll do so any way. Nanmin’s gold track suit. The 14th single uniform. Any uniform with a jacket. These are ones I like. In the future there will be many more.
“Eww. Has anyone ever actually eaten one of those dried-up, old leathery specimens?”
As we exit September (News Radio Quote Month!) and enter October, the month of spooks, let’s celebrate with Nogizaka46 back when they had Halloween Concerts… ENJOY!
From 2015 and right around the time I was beginning my Nogizaka46 fan journey. This is the 13th single senbatsu which in the end is my classic lineup. None of these members are here today, and I still love the group. Lately, there music hasn’t been my favorite, so watching this really reminds me that their music always was first with me (Popipapapa aside).
