That D.A. Guy Who Lives in My Neighborhood...

[mrteddyprincess]

I've told you guys about that dumb @ss guy who lives in my neighborhood. Last fall he couldn't figure out why the charcoal wouldn't burn in his PK, and it turns out he never opened the bottom vents.

Well, today, he found boneless skinless chicken thighs on sale at Kroger and he bought six pounds with the intention of grinding them for family meals.

He gets home, gets the meat grinder out, puts it all together, preps the chicken and powers the grinder up. Except only a very small amount of ground chicken comes out of the grinder. He's pushing and shoving more pieces of chicken thighs into that meat grinder with the idea that the grinder just wasn't cooperating and that brute force would solve any problem.

I told you he was a dumb @ss. It turns out that when he put the grinder together he left out that one little part that makes it all work, and that without the blades in there, the grinder won't function.

So I helped him take all apart and put it back together correctly and he got his six pounds of ground chicken--finally.

That guy puts out great food, but where does he find time to work?

[mrteddyprincess]

He has a regular job to support his cooking habit... :-)

I know a guy like that in my neighborhood. In fact, he lives in the same cul-de-sac.
I heard he forgot to remove the dishwasher drain line plug on a new disposal unit.

[texastweeter]

Father in law hired a plumber to install a new disposal in one of his houses that did the same. Git mad cause dishwasher wouldn't drain, called me. Had it up and running in 3 minutes with just a pair of slip joint pliers and a socket extension. All he could do is shake his head.

A few weeks ago there was a thread about what to do with ground chicken, and I voted for Thai Basil Chicken. What are you making?

[58limited]

+1 on the Thai Basil Chicken. So easy and sooo good. I made it three times last week.

[mrteddyprincess]

I ground this and put it one pound vacuum sealed packages. Ground chicken is mostly for weeknight meals. I'm going to have to look up this Thai Basil Chicken recipe.

Yup, that guy sure is a D. A. It is good he didn’t grind the bones whith the meat, or did he? Mebbee ya need to ask him.

My neighborhood counterpart has, to my knowledge, melted grill grates twice, and started a fire in his plastic trash bin. Apparently he cleaned out his PBC, spilled a small pile of ash on patio pavers (perhaps half a gallon), and several hours later put it in garbage company's nearly empty bin. It just contained a few inches of paper products. Headed back outside an hour or so later, smoke boiling out of bin. Wound up burning a 1.5 inch hole in lower bin wall. I have promised not to report it to Waste Management.

There's a guy in my neighborhood who at least once a week forgets to put water in his coffee maker before he turns it on.

[yakima]

So, is dry coffee like a dry martini?

[Steve R.]

I also know a guy like that. But my guy sets it all up the night before and sets the timer before forgetting the water.

[yakima]

mrteddyprincess, I have the same grinder, but got it before they started including sausage stuffer tubes. Just ordered them. Check with your guy, see if he has any experience with them.

[mrteddyprincess]

I'm not at home right now, but off the top of my head it was about $130 at Cabella's and has a five pound capacity.

[mrteddyprincess]

yakima here's a link to what I think is the same model I bought at Cabela's. Same design at least (and a little better price than what I paid).

Thanks. I will try my rig first. Yours can be Plan B.

There's this guy in my hood that works from home mostly. I hear he decided to grill some chicken on the kettle one afternoon so he lit a chimney full of charcoal. Then he went in and went back to work. Remembered the chimney the next morning. Luckily he set it on the coal grate in the kettle when he lit it and it wasn't a windy day. Serious dangerous DA.

[Donw]

What division of Boeing does he work for?

[Sid P]

Ouch.

[mrteddyprincess]

He's on the assembly line. Why do you ask? :-)

[Sid P]

Hey Brian, who has the pic of the flatbread that DA left in the oven for an extra 20 minutes?

[mrteddyprincess]

As far as I know, the guests he had that day were nice, and didn't take any pics of that solid piece of carbon...

[Sid P]

I’m sure your right 😉.

[randy.56]

Have not had any DA attacks in my neighborhood lately. But very capable.

[Greygoose]

Has he thought about taking up Pickleball ?
