I'm sad because Yellowcard, Cypress Hill, Mat Kearney are all there but my 2nd child is due the first day.

Actually, I was looking through the list of free stages and I'm not as hyped as I have been in years past.

That lineup seems very not good. Only artists I'd drive across town to pay and see are Yellowcard and TBA.

Jenny Lewis. Probably will drive up for that one.

Every once a year or so I send my dad a request for something he can make in his shop. It's usually just to give him a hobby and something to do. But what he makes is always so ridiculously nice, I don't know why he doesn't open up a shop. A few weeks ago I asked if he'd make something I could use as a surface to make doughs on for baking. Dude did some research, asked me for measurements, and goddamn if this isn't now maybe my favorite thing I own.

Maple, walnut, and cherry wood. Both sides are sanded and coated incredibly. I could theoretically use one side as a carving board, but he already made me one of those that I love.

I made pizza doughs tonight that are now fermenting in the fridge.

The reason he doesn't open up a shop is because once your hobby becomes your job, it's no longer for joy, it's for profit.

That's a great surface. I also second KidA24's comment.

I'm down 30. 25 more to go to get to my "ideal" weight*.

Ideal meaning realistic.

Nice job. It's a battle.

Hey Wisconsin weather:

F*** you!!!

Enough of this crap already.

This morning there was no salt put down, no plows out and cars wiping out everywhere on my way to work.

Also, why do people still not know how to drive in snow? People were driving 20 MPH on the HWY in the only lane that was somewhat clear, while others are trying to drive 50+ and create their own lanes in low visibility.

The weather blows but I’m making beef stroganoff from scratch today so I don't really mind.

I got some last gasp turns in on the snow in slinger so I am happy. I did see around 9 good accidents on the way. Roads were salted just a weird mix below the snow almost left a scaled ice surface on alot of places.

Love a good beef stroganoff.

It's almost 50 and clear up here. I cancelled my plans, might go somewhere and watch the Bucks game.

Stroganoff turned out incredible. But now I have tons left over because my wife refuses to eat anything with cream cheese or sour cream in it and this has both. And both are a staple in millions of recipes. Tried to slide this one past her but she happened to be watching as I cooked.

Benavides overcomes Plant, the oversized ring and an unnecessarily obtrusive ref. He deserves to be matched up with Saul.

It freezes fine, despite the sour cream. Or just eat it for a week. Stroganoff rules.

Had so much fun tonight. My nine year old niece's birthday party and I was the cook. Used the four pizza doughs I made on Thursday and made pizzas with help from the birthday girl, a seven year old, six year old, five year old, and a four year old. They loved stretching the doughs and adding toppings. All the adults said they had the best homemade pizza ever but seeing the little kids wolf it down was pretty wonderful. Niece is finally at the age where Uncle RS can just hand out cash instead of shop so that's pretty dope too.

Awesome. I never could have pulled off the cooking like you can.

As a guy with 19 nieces and nephews, have you ever considered taking them shopping?

I started doing that with my n&ns really early and found it to be a great way to connect with them individually.

Took them to McDonald's and then to Target or wherever.

They still talk to me about it 25+ years later.

Anyway, just something as an option.

I really like that idea. My first and only attempt was taking to two of the nieces to Frozen 2. I thought it was gonna be the best uncle Saturday but it was the first time they were ever without their momma and we had to go home early. Four years later I think they might be up for it. Maybe a stroll up and down the Target isles would be fun.
