You think that one was bad! I dedicate tonight's recipe to you! This is the first time ive tried the velveting technique like Chinese restaurants use. Chinese pepper steak! I used thinly sliced beef spare ribs, soaked em in baking soda for 30 minutes. Then washed it off, added, corn starch, hoisin, soy, ginger, salt and white pepper. Then let that soak another 30.

Wash that off and pat dry. Then deep fry it. Kevin this was definitely the most tender beef ive ever cooked. It tasted just like the buffet lol

Omg ( that’s on my goat for you older reefers), that blows me away! My wife learned the baking powder trick years ago to get any meat the same texture as the restaurants. I’m coming!

It's well known that Heineken is my favorite beer, but nothing beats a Corona when you're working and it's really hot and late

Blasphemy!
 
Blasphemy!
It pained me to say it, but it's true lol. Corona gives me a headache the next day if I drink too many, but for the heat and work, it's the best.

The only time I drink it is in the summer and I’m outside and it’s hot. It’s refreshing. It’s going to be awhile before I have another one.

As if anyone pays any mind to what you say.


I don't remember why I quoted this one. I am sure I had some kernel of wisdom to add but my feelings have been so damaged by @kingranch2003 and @tbrown it's affecting my memory.


You think you're so smart and, yet, you don't even know how to open a Zelle account.

He's (@tbrown ) always throwing his weight around like anyone cares what he has to say.


Just, just, just shut your face.


Speak for yourself! 😆


Hey, pal, leave my bud, Lowell... oh, wait, @Lowell Lemon is sully capable of handling things. Let him have it, Lowell, unless you believe it not to be worth it to waste your energy on such a creature.
Ill just leave this here. Notice SOMETHING MISSING in the second pic!?!
