Our Southern NYE tradition is soul food: Black eyed peas for health Collard greens for money Pork for love, because Southern love is expressed in pork. Cornbread because fuck yeah, cornbread. So, my house will smell like collards all day. This is the type of shit the sober do for holidays. Any suggestions on dessert? To attempt a cobbler would be a sacrilege to my moms peach cobbler which is a triumph of indulgence.
A friend of mine followed the same menu since his family was southern: He was permanently disabled due to a genetic disorder Both sides of the family were a shade above dirt poor The southern hailing part of his family didn’t give two shits about him because of his medical complications Cornbread was nice You’d better pick that dessert wisely
I’m braising a brisket today. Since I don’t have a smoker, this is a really good way for a different kind of brisket. Plus with the cold weather blowing in, it’s a perfect cold weather meal.
So I showed my daughter The Terminator last night. She sat on the edge of the couch the entire film and cried more at the ending than after she watched “If Anything Happens I Love You”. I guess Reese still has that doomed hero effect after all these years. I almost forgot how straight-up scary the last ten minutes of that movie is. The hallway chase scene triggered hiding-under-the-covers memories of my eight year old self.
I spent yesterday making some shepherd’s or hunter’s pie. Ground pork, beef, lamb, and left over turkey. Browned it all up, then slowly deglazed/caramelized 3 cans of stout into it. Added onions, carrots, peas, beans, corn, garlic, cloves, rosemary, celery, pepper, thyme, and some beef stock, then reduced the hell out of it all day. Did up some mashed potatoes for the top and baked it until it was toasty. Tried some last night and it was awesome. Should be even better tonight.
We’re having cheeses, breads, dips and prime deli meats. Daughter wanted fondue so we bought her a cutesy at-home set.
Don’t show her the deleted scenes, they almost ruin it. There’s one in particular where Sarah and Reese are in the middle of nowhere and Reese starts crying over how beautiful nature is.
Ugh. Fuck that. That would wreck what a hard motherfucker he is. Cameron was right to exclude it. Like an asshole, right after it was over I showed her the trailer for T2. As you can probably guess, she immediately demanded to watch it for tonight’s movie (He’s the GOOD GUY NOW?!?!?!”). I told her we don’t have a copy or any on-demand that ha it. Seriously, I don’t have THAT movie. She’s pissed at me.
Ha that sucks. At least it will build up some anticipation. The worst thing about T2 is that the trailers ruin that reveal about Arnold being the hero.
Dude....torrent that shit right now. Just for the sheer 90's joy of watching a kid with a red headed mullet play video games in an arcade listening to Guns N Roses. Amazon has to have that for like...what, $4? The best thing about T2 is the fucking everything about it. Who else could use liquid nitrogen in one of the greatest action sequences of all time? Cameron is brilliant, and should give up making Ferngully 2 or whatever and just make a movie about Halo or literally anything analogous to T2. If you let her watch T3, someone should take your kids away from you.
