I only read this one....

?

I've used the name Kingpin for a long time now. 

It goes back to my past as I was not the nicest person in the world. 

I found out when I was young that an easy way to make money was to loan it with small interest. 

As I got older it became more serious and I started collecting on my own bad debts which I enjoyed a little too much. 

Hence people started calling me KP or Kingpin.  

Nowadays it's just a name.

Upper left arm Angry Rhino. 

Lower left arm an Ankh I redesigned with my Cancer symbol.

Right arm Happy/Sad masks with the saying Laugh now, cry later with a very bad rose in the middle. 

Upper right arm the letters LSF.  Yes an ex-gf.  Needs to be covered.  

I'm a Rhino.  

Easy going until you mess with me or my loved ones then I get nasty.  

I even have a tattoo called "The Pissed Off Rhino" on my arm. 

When you are having a conversation with someone you don't know and they start referring to people by name like you know who they are.

People driving beside another car and not letting others pass. 

Bad packaging when shipping. 

Cheap people who nickel and dime over everything. 

People who smell bad. 

A dirty bathroom. 

A dirty and smelly car. 

Bad produce in the grocery store. 

People who boil ribs first.

Selective readers. 

When someone twists your words to try and make a point. 

Bad/weak coffee. 

Steaks cooked more then medium rare. 

SPAM bot the food and advertising. 

Bologna.

• slight scent of perfume as a women walks by
• a perfectly seared 2" thick ribeye
• sour cream and onion crispy mini's
• driving over 160

It's beautiful! But, fair warning it is Region B

Thanks for the warning.  

For serious playing I use my Oppo which I think is multi-region.  

I'm in love with the Big Trouble in Little China SB. 

Can't wait for mine to arrive. 

Haven't seen the movie in a long time.  

A few more pics.  

Brisket was the first one I ever smoked.  

Large undertaking and took about 16 hours. 

A bit overcooked but still very juicy.  

Made burnt ends afterwards but I can't find the pics. 

Picture include tomahawk steaks, a grilled flank steak that was one of the most flavourful cuts of meat I have ever had. 

Octopus and calamari with onions. 

Pan seared New York with an Udon noodle soup. 

My favourite drinks.  Gin, Beer, Saki and 20 year old Port. 

A half a$$ed pizza.  LOL

Sorry mate can't help you with that. Have you tried eBay?

Yes.  There are lot's around but I was hoping to get a first hand review from a member.

Lot's of reviews on YouTube but they are all very critical.  

Cool background.  I've never had the chance to sit in a fine dining establishment. 

I really should have living in Toronto for 40 years.  But now I'm in western Canada where asians make gyros  and white people make dim sum.  LOL  

Not that other cultures can't cook other food well but in this case it's not happening. 

You're only 20 hours from me so I'll be over tomorrow for a good meal.   

Who is the guy in the middle he looks somewhat familiar?

@Kingpin  if I'm seeing the order you are, #9 is a Filet Roulade, Thin cut loin filled with goat cheese, spinach, and red peppers and rolled. Topped with a sweet cherry Demi Glace.

 

#13 Is a Prime rib steak sandwich with horseradish havarti and a home made Pretzel baguette.  

 

I ABSOLUTLY LOVE prime rib lol, I'm a red meat guy. And prime maybe my favorite, that stew sounds outstanding

That Roulade looks outstanding.  

Must be a very rich dish with the goat cheese and the cherry demi glace.  

Where in the US are you?  I can't really tell from the vast variety in your dishes.  

I would guess Northern US though as your meats are very clean and by that I mean no rubs. 

@xSNAKExPLISSKENx Yeah you are a real chef.  I'm just a home hack.  LOL   Great looking stuff bro.  

I have started to use the reverse sear in a lot of meats especially large chunks. 

No grey outer edges just a beautiful shade of pink evenly throughout like the steak and prime rib.  

I really wish we were able to label our images.  

What are number 9 & 13?  

I made what I call "Million Dollar Stew" yesterday.  

I make it from Prime ribeye loin which I cut up and at the end add prime rib pieces.  

Also has the standard carrots, potatoes and celery, fresh rosemary and thyme sprigs as well as some large chunks or Portabellos thrown in at the end.  

Stock is a Mushroom broth and about a liter of Port.  LOL 

A loaf of crusty bread lightly toasted to warm it up and some butter and it's a filling and tasty meal for the cold out here. 

M experience is that a cooking thread is usually a pretty good thread. 

Especially if you are looking for something to make or need new ideas.  

I am a single guy and do a lot of cooking especially since there are no fast food places that deliver out here and the nearest place to pick up something is half hour away.  

I bought an Xlarge Big Green Egg a year ago and it has got some pretty good use to it.  

It was a bear to bring home and assemble at over 400lbs.  

I also do a lot of cooking inside and yes I do a lot of eating.  LOL  

Post up some pics, recipes, questions or anything else that has to do with food.  

Here are some of my better creations.  

Double fried chicken wings and ribs I made for Superbowl.

Ribs except for the one picture on the Gas BBQ are all smoked for 6 hours. 

Creme Caramel. 

Chinese BBQ Pork is called Char Sui and I made a hanger in the BGE to roast them over the coals. 

My 20lb Lasagna is amazing if I say so myself. 

Steaks are reverse seared.  Roasted in the oven for about 25 minutes at 225 and then seared for a couple minutes in a very hot pan with garlic chips.  

Prime Rib is smoked in the BGE for about 5 hours. 

Whole Octopus that I grilled. 

A whole slab or Ribeye that I cut to size myself. 

Pho Broth made from scratch 15 liters at a time.  Takes about 10 hours to make. 

Also homemade clam/fish chowder, Everything Pho, Beef Wellington, stewed ox tail asian style, spinach pie, stuffed grape leaves, fresh breads and kabobs.

All I can Say is Based on the Hdzeta WW alone, I'm a life zeta subscriber, Absolutey can not beat the quality of this release, I know I'm not the first to say it and there's been so many pics poster I'll spare you with more but wow.  And to any important ears that may stumble on this message.... If more companies don't immediately adopt HDZ's envelope style, I will be sad. This is how its done, take note.

I think I have one or two HDzeta's but haven't opened them.  

What is this envelope style?

Maybe you guys here can help me.  

I am looking for a Terminator head(Endoskull) but I don't want to spend $500-700 . 

I have seen some reviews of the cheaper ones but the don't seem very good. 

Anybody have a recommendation? 

Thanks

KP

Thanks for the update! This may be the first movie I love that I'm not interested enough to buy a single edition, including the 1/4 slip. I was hoping new shots would show improvement, but I'm still not regretting a pass. I really hope they do better after this and The Grey.

C'mon!  You know deep down you want it and are going to regret not picking it up.  ?

Highly recommended for obvious reasons .............I have all 500+ of my SB's  and premiums in them ..................

Do you know if these are shipped flat?

By that I mean unfolded to save space? 

I'm looking at a couple hundred and being in Canada shipping sucks.

That's perfect.  I contacted them a few weeks ago and received a very nice reply. 

Happy to see they are part of this place.

One of my all time fav Facs!

Damn that's hot!  

Are there any real good clear sleeves that don't ruin the appearance? 

I remember when I collected comics the best bags were made of a crinkly plastic called Mylar that was super clear and acid free.

Really though, you must have a price on that Elektra and/or that Forrest Gump box set.  Both are great pieces but I’m sure you have other major players you want more than those and those 2 are on my must have no exceptions list

I paid less then $200 for Elektra.  I won an ebay auction that nobody had bid on due to the seller not describing it properly.

I honestly thought he wasn't going to send it just cause he would have got double or more for it. 

Nah I've pretty much got everything I wanted.  

Everything I get now is either because it looks pretty or it's part of a set.  

I really can't think of something out there that I want.  

Not a big fan of the Superhero stuff or Anime.  

I wish there were more Premium set of classic cheesy movies like the original Karate Kid series and funny stuff like Porky's and old Michael J. Fox movies like Doc Hollywood, Secret of my Success and Teen Wolf. 

I would be all over those. 

Same as Rocky, Rambo and some Chuck Norris movies.
