Flame Free Confession III: Even More Flame Free (Part 1)

I just heard a bit on a Dave Tate table talk podcast about John Meadows having his first baconator. Fun fact: John has no colon due to some disease he had earlier in life. The exit time of the baconater was RAPID.

Thanks - I remember seeing this a year ago or so. I’m gonna do both - cruise and tricks. I used to have a pretty high Ollie and could pop shuvit/kickflip/FS or BS 180, just the basics. It arrived today, put it together and got my first taste of riding around. Feels sooooooo unsteady, haha. Definitely not like riding a bike after a while.

You get a brandname deck or just something random? One of the coolest parts of skating (to me) is some of the really cool decks out there.

I confess that, as someone born and raised in the Pacific Northwest, you’re wrong, and Salmon is the best fish.

Especially with a light maple glaze. GAWD.

Salmon is an amazing fish, but in terms of sashimi, there’s better imo

In terms of cooked fish, I agree salmon is the best

Panda. Nothing fancy - I wanted an alien workshop one because That’s what I used to have but I went with a slightly cheaper but still good option since I needed a skate tool and skate shoes and didn’t wanna go on a spending spree, plus the board will wear out and I can get one for my next one.

My wife and I were just kicking around the idea that there may in fact be something special about salmon that allows people (and bears) to eat a virtually unlimited amount.

When preparing a fillet I always slice off the belly section as my secret stash.

Ecological issues aside, Patagonian toothfish aka Chilean sea bass, is the best cooked fish imo.

The fresh ones should have a creaminess to it. Yeah, definitely have a mushy feeling, so you might find it weird if you’re not used to it. It should have a melt in your mouth feeling too

About a month ago, I tell the head trainer at my gym that I’m focusing on conditioning, I’m going to try to get back near where I was.

I’ve been there a number of years now and not once have I heard anything but rap, metal and hip hop.

For the third time in a month, Bruce Springsteen’s ā€œGlory Daysā€ has come on the radio during the conditioning parts of my training…

I am dreaming up ways to hit back but can’t figure out if this is coincidence or an epic troll haha

Just ate salmon tonight!

Preheated my oven to 350, fried a big hunk of salmon for a bit in a cast iron skillet, and blended jarred roasted red peppers, a bit of heavy cream, a splash of red wine, garlic, paprika, crushed red pepper, and roasted almonds into a creamy orange sauce and poured it over the salmon after a couple minutes, and put the skillet immediately in the oven for 8 minutes, then took it out and let it sit while cooking some penne. The red pepper sauce cooks all the way through it and the penne is fantastic with it.

Last night, had the other hunk of salmon, marinated in a mixture of soy sauce, thai chili sauce and korean barbecue sauce, with a side of asparagus cooked in chili garlic paste, soy sauce and sriracha.

Salmon is a definite staple in my diet.

My mom’s looking for a steps counter. I confess, I don’t know shit about it lol. Any suggestions? Accurate, good quality, and hopefully cheap

Doesn’t your phone do this for you nowadays?

Not sure lol. My mom’s got an old phone. I’m also more of a PC guy than a phone guy, so My phone is an old J7 pro too.

I’m voting sous vide swordfish or monkfish.

I’ve heard good things about sword and monk fish. Unfortunately I haven’t had the chance to taste really high quality and properly cooked versions of either so I don’t have an opinion

Monkfish liver (ankimo) is a real delicacy

Sorry, I just use an app on my iPhone. With that said, I’d recommend a high quality hip pedometer over a wrist one (Ie Fitbit) for accuracy
