Since you are a noted admirer of Big Meat, may I suggest Gibson's? They have their own USDA designation for prime meat...and while it is clearly upscale, you can also sit at the bar or just grab a table and really enjoy a feast. Important info: the side dishes and desserts are all comically huge.https://www.gibsonssteakhouse.com/gibsons-chicago/Quote:

Thanks for the question and feel free to PM if you would like more information.
Cool. Thanks for the info, I may ping you. It’s coming up in my line of work with respect to paying suppliers globally a living wage.Quote:

Is boiling enough? And what do you do with the pot you boil it in?
Ymo, who is the person you follow on election twitter?
It is actually quite clean, so I don't think I need to sacrifice a pot to boil. Just wash it well. It's nylon, so it should wash easily enough.Quote:

The sheriff says they have not heard anything that would specifically point to the drag show connection. I am sure they are looking into that, which would greatly narrow down the suspect list. A really, really horrible AND stupid thing to do since, if caught, they could be charged with domestic terrorism.Quote:

Or folks who depend on oxygen machines or other life-dependent equipment. Think of all the food people will have to toss. When they get them, they need to be made examples.
Done ranting. This really pissed me off in case you can't tell.
Well, the article I read has a quote from the woman who organized the protest saying that investigators had come to her house, but she insisted that she had nothing to do with it and that the power outage was an act of God.Quote:

As bundabergdevil mentioned earlier, it must be someone with knowledge of EXACTLY where to shoot.

As I said, the sheriff said they had not found any connections, but I am sure they are looking hard at them.Quote:
