One of the great joys in life is making a list of groceries to pick up at the Evil Empire, and knowing you don't have to give a damn what anyone wants except yourself.
Of course, this is also known as "being single."
I wonder what Al's personal grocery list looks like...
Does Al know about this blog ? He could guest-write some material for them

It's like an unholy merger of marklawrence and Al.
That lettuce wrapped around 8,000 calories will make a big difference when he plugs in that VCR and lets the ol' 8-track rip in his exercise room.
Second visit to Serious Burger in Appleton yesterday, right by the mall area. Second time both myself and the Rambling son walked out convinced we had the best burger known to man. Mine was delicious even in a lettuce wrap. The juices flow out like a river. Caramelized mushrooms, caramelized onions, other toppings, free. Cheese is supposed to be $1, but they didn't charge either one of us for it.
Al's dream of getting them to add "The Bethke" to the menu (everything burger plus caramelized boo berry and mac sauce) following a series of shameless plugs went down drain the second he blogged about them giving away free cheese.
A burger without Lemon Pie Filling? Neanderthals.
Looks like Al won't be getting his chicken stock injection tonight. Probably time to toss a Big Mac in the blender.
.........................
Yesterday, I took our rotisserie chicken carcass, put it in the crock pot, and filled it with water. It was on low for 24 hours, and late this afternoon, I put salt, garlic, and other spices in and strained out all the bones. I left in out on the counter in a large plastic mixing bowl to cool down before putting it in the fridge, about a quart plus of delicious homemade chicken stock
I went to see if it was cool in the early evening. The Rambling son, assuming it was water, had dumped it out when he filled the dishwasher.
This is why all the great chefs are single and childless.
Merely by the transitive properties of the chicken bones wouldn't that be libtard commie stock? Good thing the Diabetes Kid dumped it out.
another shot at botulism dumped down the drain
BONES!!!!

I put a roast in the slow cooker this morning at 6AM, when the Rambling dog insists it is light enough that it must be time for breakfast. The problem with our roasts from the Rambling inlaws is they always have a bone in the middle, and the one today had a bone the approximate size of a human head. What looks like about three pounds of beef turns into about a pound and a half. Of course, given the quality of beef and the price we pay, I shouldn't be complaining...but I do.
Unless she's there looking beautiful, I don't see people flocking to eat $40 pasta dishes.
I had a $40 burger in Vegas, it was awsum. Clearly I don't have a pulse on Vegas like al does (and clearly not the culinary chops as we completely skipped Golden Coral). As a casual fan of pasta, I'm guessing Giada will do fine.

Remember, lobster used to be fed to prisoners, considered nearly worthless.
I prefer the artificial crab and lobster to the real thing, and that is just cheap whitefish and haddock.
Al is true MURICAN! He don't need none of that fancy schmancy real lobster or crab!
if you follow al's chain
"huge lobster harvests, believed by some to be a result of global warming, have glutted the market,"

Nothing wrong with a. Schitt samich every now and then. I like mine on a toasted hoagie roll With sprouts.

Haddock would be too expensive for the imitation crab delicacy. Normally they use the true champion the pollack. I think haddock would ruin the exquisite flavor of this twice a year splurge.

I admit, I don't think most people know how to order. I haven't had an order messed up in ages.
============
Hard to mess up an order at a buffet. Regardless, Al once again tells us he is better then the casuals.
Don't ever discount the ability of Al Bethke to fall on top of anything, including a Golden Corral Chocolate Fountain.
What will Al do tomorrow during the Fast Food walkout?
I think Golden Corral is safe from strikers. Could be food rationing today.
Looks like Al is planning a road trip to Kansas City so he can eat one (OK - two) Blitz Boxes by himself.
Other than the fact they go cheap with medium fries instead of large, I can see this being a popular item....though it's only a $1-2 savings off the menu price.
Al's latest rant includes the cookie mom being banned from distributing her goods on the morning school bus to the kiddos. Damn commie state! I need my calories! Or another set of pants.
I go with lard and bacon fat crusts myself - it's a really good way to lose weight.
I never get tired of pizza either, it's about the only food I miss when I'm eating low carb.
I do make a variation that uses cream cheese as the crust, but it's not the same.
Cream cheese as the crust? HOW UNCOUTH, I ONLY USE LEMON PIE FILLING AS REPLACEMENT CRUSTS FOR MY PIZZA.
Someone say pie filling???
Ramblings neighbor has been out by our mailboxes for the last fifteen minutes with a pick and shovel. Not sure if we got a "fix this or we're not delivering mail" notice or what, but I wouldn't work that hard even if we belonged to the Pie of the Month club.
It'd be far easier just stopping and picking up the mail at the post office every week or two.
