I can't stand Kevin, like at all, and yet, I love him with all my heart and never want anything bad to ever happen to him.

Everything he does irritates the hell out of me, and still, I love em.

Boeuf BourguinPot Roast or French Onion Roast

I did the hell out of that.

First time using pearl onions. I probably should've bought the fresh ones. These shrunk so small and had very little flavor. I also think I'll treat them like I do Carrots and potatoes when slow cooking, add them in the last hour. They'll cook without becoming mushy.

Sautéed the mushrooms first.

Seasoning: Salt, pepper, garlic, onion.

BTB beef and water. Lipton onion and mushroom dip & soup packet. Fresh thyme sprigs.

What makes it french or Bourginognon? Not much. I was gonna caramelize onions but didn't feel like it, and it still worked out. Next time, I will do my red grape huice and vinegar fake wine trick

Look at that gravy! Thick and rich. Boiled it to quickly reduce, then let it simmer on low.

Instant rice is my new favorite thing.

It boils down to a chemistry problem.

Materialists spoilers

I have no real problem with her choosing Brokey (I forgot his name) because like she said she'll always take care of herself and the whole movie is about her having the man who checked all her boxes and her main box, rich, and how that still wasn't fulfilling.

It's that Lucy and Brokey have no chemistry. And he's not doing anything to make him seem like he's worth the suffering. I need him to walk five miles in the cold foggy dawn on jagged hills just because he knows she likes to walk, okay?

Do something.

And especially because Harry is so validating of her in comparison. He is letting her know, "I see you." Not a cliche for him.

Broke was his personality type. Like, okay, I get it. You have no money. You ain't the first broke man to love a successful woman. What else do you offer? what else are you doing for her that makes her look past it?

Maybe it's because he's in the exact same place he was when they broke up. And I'm not talking about him being a struggling actor. It's mental. She says he hasn't changed, and he hasn't. Why is she going back to that?

i am soooo tired of seeing skinny people i am so over it its so everywhere and everything on tiktok on ads on book covers in movies in tv shows, politics, fucking music even. its endless, infinite, exhausting. isn't there something more than this? this can't be it. like how did i end up in a version of the world where a fat woman being a romantic lead in a mid period drama on Netflix is a win? and how is she still basically the only fat person on that show? how are there films and tv shows praised for diversity that don't have a single fat person in the cast?? how how how HOW. the majority of people in the world aren't even skinny. most people in the world aren't thin white people! its crazy its so fucking insane how colonialism, ableism and racism has created a phantasm in which we all accept that pretending fat people don't exist and punishing them when they do is normal and fine. like, imagining a world where fatphobia doesn't exist is actually unimaginable and painful and i truly can't think about it too much without tearing the hair off my entire body

I wish Jurassic Park was real.

I desire to be on the run from a gigantic prehistoric creature.

I really need that right now. Sleeping under the stars (in a way that's not camping), after being chased, hiding in a crevice that's too big for its head.

Being covered in so much dirt that you can see the layers washing of and your skin coming through.

No cell phone. Being outside, touching grass. Good times.

I hate to say it, and maybe I shouldn't, but I know that man is telling the truth because he is quite possibly one of the worst actors I've ever seen and it the only feasible reason he got an acting job is because of Perry's ulterior motives.

Not that I need a rain to believe him, but it's really for those assholes accusing him of "scamming" and "false reporting for money or fame" because sexual assault is what someone wants to be known for.

Wanted to dip bread in flavored butter.

Aldi's Lobster ravioli, the sauce is black pepper bloomed in brown butter (a dash of salt). Topped with parmesan

The potatoes are the microwaveable little potato company, roasted garlic, and herb.

Too many carbs didn't eat all the potatoes.

I made some baked shrimp for the others but didn't get a pic. That was just melted butter with jarlic and shallot and whatever taste good on shrimp I had in my spice cabinet.

Elevation (2024)

This was exactly what straight to DVD movies used to feel like in the days of Block Buster. I had a good time watching it.

I honestly, I hope they make a sequel. I hope they fix the bullet thing because that's so boring and unoriginal.

All the spoilers.

Anthony Mackie used to be an indie darling. What happened? Why is he only getting offers for these straight to streaming action movies?

A bullet? That's what this boils down to a friggin bullet. Now movie, I was having a pretty good time until that was how they killed the monsters.

That's some basic boring bull. I thought Mena was going to make an electromagnetic signal that shorts their circuits or use a super strong magnet to short them. Don't make a big deal about how strong a pulse they give off if that has nothing to do with how they die.

We don't see one cross the barrier. Why the hell not? I was hoping it would happen, and we'd learn that the reason is that the magnetic field is too strong or weak at 8K elevation.

I could not get a grasp on how far they were traveling it seemed long, but it also seemed like Boulder was right around the corner.

The action sequences were fun.

This alien was so unkillable that it took away the fun. If they showed it getting hurt or just slowing down when they are firing, it would add some energy. And take away the irritation one feels when they keep firing bullets that literally don't do anything!

In the sequel, I want to see a settlement of people who live below the line.

An alien cross the barrier.

A caborn dioxide pumping machine for distraction purposes.

Wet Sandwich or beef and gravy sandwich.

Sometimes, a girl just needs a sandwich that's sopping wet.

Beef, mushrooms, onions, garlic, four and oil (roux), stock. Salt, pepper, garlic, onion, worcestershire, chives. Bread and provolone.

Broiled the bread with the cheese on high 16 inches from the coils. This is to keep the bread from getting too wet.

It was so good and sopped up.

It's the apocalypse outside and the thing that scares you most is still gay people.

Priorities. All fucked up.

You could get bit by some thing, and your kid has to shoot you in the head. But two girls kissing is too much for you. Fuck outta here loser.

You pushing sixty-eight. Need to be worried about what's going on in your chest and colon, not about two teenagers kissing on the dance floor.

That just pissed me off.

Joel should've killed him.

I will not be dealing with cists, pists, and phobes at the end of the world.

The world is over, starting anew, and you want to bring that evil into the new world, for what, asshole.

You wasting precious brainpower on homophobia, in the apocalypse, when you should be using it to see how to make it to and through next week. Pathetic.

Slaps.

The beans took 30 minutes to come together. Prep 15. Cooking 15.

I baked my chicken took an 1hr15. Basting every 15 minutes after the first 30

Based on the casting of the mother, it's yet again a skinny Carrie White.

That's FIVE adaptations. FIVE!!! and not one of them has had a book accurate. Fat or acne riddled Carrietta White. (1970, the play, 2002, 2013, Flanagan's)

What is the point of constantly adapting the story if you're just going to do it the exact same way every fucking time.

Another moment where people will sit and wonder why are they bullying this skinny, shy white girl who hasn't done anything to them. Pig? Why are they calling her a pig?

Fuck you and fuck off, you fatphobic fucking cowards.

Even the original book covers have skinny Carrie. The new covers are just a crown with blood. Get fuckt.

FYI: Skinny mom with fat daughter could be acceptable. It would add another dimension to their relationship.

Carrie is fat, not chubby. Fat.

I'm watching Popeye's Revenge.

Is Popeye a beloved character or there?

He can't be. There's no references to anything but his strength. No Olive Oyl (well. . .), no spinach. No Bruno. No Whimpy. If you took off his sailor clothes, it'd just be some people getting killed by knockoff Jason Voorhees.

This doesn't even have anything to do with him being a sailor. Spoiler. But he dies as a child, so he couldn't even be a sailor. I don't even think he was in a sailor costume.

Also, I hate to make this about America, but uh. . .

I've never seen a British slasher. But something feels very American about this movie, but not in a good way.

Of all the new public domain horrors I've seen, they are all ass. And none have been good bad movies or so bad it's fun.

You can tell they shoe horned Popeye onto their generic slasher to get more eyes on it.

Olive Oyl is his sister!?!?! Bitch what? Why not make the final girl Olive Oyl? Because the Popeye and Olive Oyl I know were not expressing philia love towards each other in the slightest.

Scrambled Eggs with Stuff in it on a Bun

Don't call it an omelet sandwich. I hate omelets. (It's a visual/texture thing)

The pictures not great, but the sandwich was fire. (This was made with bits cut from the other sandos)

Eggs: sausage, mushrooms (canned), red onion (doced), bell pepper (diced), dash Jarlic, salt, pepper, tajin, red pepper flakes, cheddar cheese.

Bun, butter, garlic powder. Mayo and mustard.

Everything came from stuff I had. Canned mushrooms leftover from my pizza making days. Buns someone bought for barbecue but never bought the burgers. The rest are staple foods and seasonings.

I make my sausages(or bacon) in bulk in the oven or airfryer and heat them in the skillet as in making my toast.
