I made sloppy joes tonight.

I had a really good sloppy joe recipe, but I seem to have lost it. The old way I made them for years was pretty boring and uninspiring...

----------
*1lb ground beef
*1/2 onion diced
Brown the onions, then add the beef, cook, drain the grease in a bowl and colander.
Put it back in the pan (obviously)
Add ketchup and hot sauce. I never had a set amount, I'd just kinda eyeball it.
Simmer til it thickens a little.
--------

See? Boring.

This recipe seemed pretty similar to the newer one that I lost.

-----------------------
*1lb ground beef
*1/2 onion diced
*1 can of your favorite beer, I use Sierra Nevada Pale Ale

- I use big non-stick fry pan, but I sprayed a light layer of canola oil in the bottom so the onions stick less (not entirely necessary).
- Burner on medium or a hair past med. Dump in the diced onions. When the onions start sizzling, make sure to spread them out in a nice even layer.
- Pour some beer in, enough to half-submerge the layer of onions. Let it boil. May need to add splashes as the onions cook. You want the onions a nice golden and carmel brown color with no beer left boiling in the pan when you add the beef. If you burn them a little bit boiling out all the beer, not really a problem, they'll still taste fine.
- Add beef. Cook beef. When beef is fully cooked, drain grease off in bowl and colander.
- Put beef+onions back in pan. Add the following ingredients for the sauce:

*1 15oz. can Red Gold brand tomato sauce (or whatever brand you prefer, just remember, cheap shit makes shitty food)
*1/3 cup Heinz ketchup
*1 tablespoon Lea & Perrins worcestershire sauce
*2 tablespoon Woeber's Sweet & Spicy mustard (or whatever brand of spicy brown mustard you prefer)
*1 teaspoon chili powder
*1 teaspoon Domino light brown sugar

(I'm pretty sure the recipe I had also had some garlic powder and onion powder but I forget the exact amounts. I didn't feel like it was necessary, so this time I only add a sprinkle of garlic powder to the onions as I was browning them.)

- Set your burner back to a tad above medium, stir it all together really well. Continue stirring and cooking for another 10 minutes, not letting it burn. If it's a bit too soupy and watery, adjust your heat to start the mix kinda boiling and keep stirring to keep it from sticking or burning. Once it's at the thickness you want, turn the heat all the way down to low just to keep it warm for serving, or turn it off if you want.

------------------------------------------

Nathan's makes a Kosher Dill Sandwich Slice, they are seasoned pickles sliced length-wise. Usually I have them on the side, sometimes I put one IN the sandwich on top of the meat.

Woeber's Sweet and Spicy mustard - might be hard to find. I'm not really sure how popular it is. I can't find it at Publix, usually I only see it at Ingles, which is an independent Southeast regional grocery store only found in Georgia, North Carolina, South Carolina, Alabama, Tennessee, and Virginia. I HIGHLY recommend trying it though. It's super good stuff.

Beer boiling the onions: pretty much any recipe where ground beef with onions is the base of it, I do the onions in beer. Makes everything better.

I get these packs of Hebrew National Beef Knockwurst at the store, they're about 7 or 8 bucks a pack, you get 4 links. It's basically a big fat higher quality extra jumbo beef hotdog (like the ones they used to have at baseball games). I'll pan fry those in beer and onions too. They smell like beer battered onion rings - obviously - but still, that's just one of the greatest smells in the world. You plop the knockwurst on a top-sliced bun, add a little layer of the browned onions, add your ketchup and mustard. Better than the ball park.

Beer. It's not just for drinking anymore. :beer:

Sodom

Used to listen to this band a little back in the 90's. I loved them, and would've listened to them a lot more, but their stuff was pretty hard to find. They were one of the original death metal bands that came about in the mid to late 80's when the genre was forming. They had a super tight thrashy sound, complete with the stereotypical very scooped-out midrange sound to all the guitars. I think they were from Germany.

I understand that however if you cared to watch the demo, It was the whole server calling him out and i sat in silence. The only thing i said was i was taking a demo, wasnt sure and would post it. I have been called a cheat many times as well, it never really bothered me and even offered to stream live. Thats another issue i dont know if you noticed but these forums are dead, hardly anyone ever posts here anymore so it may discourage people from taking demos. I may not be a spokeman for the entire tastyspleen servers but at least i post demos.

PS i actually love Trump  :yessign:

It's a pretty poor piss poor attitude to have to think just because someone has been doing something for a long time they are innocent.

Context is everything. It's even worse to publicly ruin someones reputation without proof. Like I said, you've cried wolf so many times now that no one takes you seriously.

Problem is... if you're sitting there on the servers making rude remarks and accusations at Chacal, everyone else is going to see it, and no doubt one or two of them will begin agreeing with and repeating what you are saying. This exact situation happened to me. One particular person began accusing me of cheating with ZERO PROOF. I challenged them numerous times to post evidence of what they were accusing me of to the forums, and they never would. They just kept repeating the accusation. It didn't bother me at all until I saw 2 or 3 other people on the server start agreeing with him. At that point, I had to ask Quadz to intervene. He had to take time out of his day to join up when this person was on and tell them, "Hey, enough with the hack accusations. This has gone from freedom of speech and normal banter to disruptive libelous slander."

They tried to do the same kind of thing to President Trump. Like I said, context is everything, and when you have the full context of all the facts, it's very obvious that E Jean Carroll who accused President Trump of rape was lying. But when you get a corrupt judge who will agree to try him AGAIN for the charge of "libel" (the libel part = he called her a liar), then it's not too hard for the politically biased media to make the inference that he is indeed a rapist... and then morons like representative Ocasio-Cortez will take to twitter posting "Donald Trump is a rapist", and all the morons who follow her and believe everything she says will repeat it. And then it becomes a normalized perfectly acceptable opinion to express now and forever that "Donald Trump is a rapist" even though there was never any evidence proving it, even though there was always an abundance of circumstantial evidence suggesting that such an accusation was complete horseshit. Doesn't matter. In the words of Nazi Propaganda Minister Joseph Goebbels, "A lie repeated often enough becomes the truth."

A full 24 hours later... still says "downloaded 0 times".  :D

The GIF is a joke at your expense, and you can get offended that this is some kind of a personal insult, but you've done this SO MANY TIMES that I can't be objective about any accusation you make anymore, I instantly assume you're wrong.

That,... taken with the fact that Chacal has played on TS servers for probably longer than I've been around here... means that if Chacal was going to get caught cheating, he would've been caught doing it already by multiple someone elses.


Lance armstrong was cheating for the world to see for over a decade before he was caught. He did it in front of everyone. It's a pretty poor piss poor attitude to have to think just because someone has been doing something for a long time they are innocent. Ben Johnson was caught years after the fact for doping, Marion Jones the same the list goes on. over 500,000 gamers world wide were banned in 2024 alone in different games for cheating. What makes you think for a second q2 is exempt? And why is trying to keep the community free of hacking a bad thing? Why rubbish people for keeping a look out over a game? Regardless of weather I am right or wrong, you almost make it sound like a negetive thing people are still looking out for hackers, no matter how old the game is. And I can tell you right now all you have to do is look at the list of people that WERE actually caught hacking like skyline who are free to roam the servers still. People act as though a hacker has never graced the quake2 community cough cough razor cough

Alpha, just because chacal has better internet (and probably more hair) than you doesn't mean that he's cheating.
