Food and Drink / Re: Recipes--Your Specialty
Last post by RAGER - November 16, 2024, 11:11:12 AMThis was actually pretty good. I think kids would love this if ya have kids. I toned down the warming spices but I see where this could easily go the way of Rochester meat sauce.
Cincinnati chili spaghetti or whatever it's called but with linguine cuz I thought I bought spaghoots. Oh well.
Secret ingredients. Low brow ketchup and high brow natural Columbia River Gorge Gamay
Into a blender put the correct amount of mirepoix for the ground beef you're using and blend with a bit of stock. Set aside
Add some oil to your rondo (recommended) or whatever pan you have and brown your meat while breaking apart with a masher. Add your ketchup or tomato paste. After a few minutes add your ground chili of choice. I used 4 different kinds along with paprika which is also a damn chili. Shrug. Or don't. Let that bloom a bit. Deglaze with your fancy red wine or stock. Add in your ground up mirepoix. Bring to a hard simmer. Add tomato sauce or unless you're like me maybe add some more ketchup to keep it meaty. You can add brown sugar here but I didn't. Warming spices to taste. I didn't go crazy but added a little cinnamon, fresh grated nutmeg and allspice. Let those bloom. Now add some stock to make it fairly soupy. Bring to boil then reduce to a simmer. Start tasting for salt and add wash your sister sauce to taste. Let that simmer until it's reduced to your desired consistency.
Cook your pasta until totally done. Dump most of the cooking water out but not all. Add a goodly amount of butter and garlic powder and toss. (I usually do this with most pastas I make. It really add another layer of flavor) plate nicely and top with meat sauce, dice white onion (I used scallions on top of cheese but whatever), add loads of fine shredded cheddar.

New Music Releases / NEW in Chrome Peeler distro: c...
Last post by chromepeelerrec - November 15, 2024, 11:23:05 AMNEW items in the distro @ https://chromepeelerrecords.bandcamp.com/merch
KIVELAK – "Foghorns and Thunder" CD
An icy whirlwind of avant-garde black metal mixing pummeling doom-laden heaviness and crushing riffage with swells of apocalyptic ambience and stretches of bleak kosimiche hallucination. Furious and futuristic heaviness.
KIVELAK - "The Spiral" CD
Subtle realm of shadowy crypt-drift raw BM riffs and melodic post-metal vibes accompanied by industrial/electronic drums. Blackened outsider metal weirdness.
RACEBANNON – "First There Was the Emptiness..." CD
Avant-hardcore music cross breed of Gravity hipsters Antioch Arrow, Captain Beefheart/Mr. Bungle controlled spontaneity, Melvins/Blue Cheer sludgy heaviosity, and Melt Banana-like noisy spazz. A poisonous mess filled with barking, sickly guitars, satellite samples, neurotic rhythms.
UPON A FIELDS WHISPER – "Sorry For Your Loss" CD
A melting pot of raw aggression and poignant melodies, intertwining the gnarled roots of crust, the foreboding ambience of doom, the fervent rage of black metal, the emotive screams of screamo, and spitting out a captivating conglomeration of pulse-pounding riffs, cascading melodies, and harsh, gritty vocals. Intense, emotional and focused. RIYL: Fall of Efrafa, Amenra, Alpinist
Don't forget that you can buy the complete Chrome Peeler Rec digital discography (28 releases) on Bandcamp for $4.90!

Jam Room / Re: Gear showoff/BDE thread
Last post by James1214 - November 15, 2024, 12:03:12 AMNew explorer. It's a Firefly, they go for around $300 new, but it was at a yard sale for $75 so I had to get it. Has upgraded pickups and locking tuners. I'm gonna put chrome covers on the pickups, cuz I hate the white ones. Other than that no issues at all with it for the price.

Last post by Pissy - November 14, 2024, 07:15:08 AMMy no. 1 is a 77 SG with a headstock repair. I got it in the late 90's for $400. Repair was done long before.

It's a total player with a headstock repair but it's in pretty good shape. Plays great. Lucky for me I don't like flame tops or quilt tops or whatever. Cheap-ish.
